Berg Dunn, is a grizzly shifter, a bodyguard and he finds
there is this one body he would love to guard. It's the
naked woman who lands on a hotel balcony. He is a gentleman
gives her a t-shirt, that swallows her up, and his cell and
watches as she disappears without an explanation. Soon he
will find himself HOT AND BADGERED by a situation that will
either win him a mate or kill him.
Charlie is a honey badger. A survivor who has for years
protected her sisters, who aren't really blood, but family
none-the-less. She finds herself once again needing to
protect her little family, but she is also butting heads
with a protection specialist. Yeah, right, like he could do
a better job than she, but he is a sexy beast so maybe he
can try to hang around.
HOT AND BADGERED is in a word -- hilarious. You have the
Dunn family, who are especially good at taking charge and
making people do what they want, and the MacKilligan
sisters, who are simply crazy and you have the background
for most of the characters of this book. To read HOT AND
BADGERED, as with all of Shelly Laurenston's books, you have
you have to be prepared for anything because that is easily
what happens.
Charlie is the protector of the sisters, Stevie and Max are
younger, and she has always been the one to keep them from
killing each other or someone else and keep their crazy
father away from them. There is a great scene where Berg's
sister handles the father, sorry you will have to read it to
know what I mean. Berg, knows crazy, he's a grizzly and a
triplet after all, and it was fun to watch as Charlie
realized he was OK with her and her sisters being slightly
kookier than his family. This is definitely Charlie and
Berg's story, and it does manage to be sweet and steamy
along the way. To the romance lover, they might be a bit
disappointed in the quantity of those romantic moments, but
it is all quality for sure.
HOT AND BADGERED will give you some good laughs, head
shaking at the antics of the crazy badgers (and to be honest
the grizzlies), a sweet, steamy romance and leave you
wanting more.
It’s not every day that a beautiful naked woman falls
out of
the sky and lands face-first on grizzly shifter Berg
Dunn’s
hotel balcony. Definitely they don’t usually hop up and
demand his best gun. Berg gives the lady a grizzly-sized
t-shirt and his cell phone, too, just on style points.
And
then she’s gone, taking his XXXL heart with her. By the
time
he figures out she’s a honey badger shifter, it’s too
late.
Honey badgers are survivors. Brutal, vicious, ill-
tempered
survivors. Or maybe Charlie Taylor-MacKilligan is just
pissed that her useless father is trying to get them all
killed again, and won’t even tell her how. Protecting
her
little sisters has always been her job, and she’s not
about
to let some pesky giant grizzly protection specialist
with a
network of every shifter in Manhattan get in her way.
Wait.
He’s trying to help? Why would he want to do that? He’s
cute
enough that she just might let him tag along—that is, if
he
can keep up . . .
