HOT AND BADGERED
Shelly Laurenston

Reviewed by Kim Roller

Romance Paranormal | Romance Erotica Sensual

Shelly Laurenston's HOT AND BADGERED is hysterically funny, with characters that you can cheer for. She shows you that whether your a human or a shifter, you still have the same family drama as anyone else.

Shelly Laurenston brings you into the unique life of Charlie MacKilligan who is a honey badger/wolf hybrid and her two lovable, but crazy, sisters. These sisters will do any thing for each other, even kill to protect the other two. She also gives you a look at the rather ordinary life of Berg Dunn who is a triplet and grizzly bear shifter. When Berg first meets Charlie, she's naked and running for her life and he decides that he needs to protect her, giving her a chance to escape. Berg wonders if he'll see her again.

I'm looking forward to the next installment in the lives of the MacKilligan sister' lives. I found HOT AND BADGERED to be a wonderful read and want to visit them again. Will Stevie become involved with the panda bodyguard of a friend? Is Max going to hook up with her best friend Dutch and how will her arrangement with the Group, a shifter protection organization, work out? What's next for Berg and Charlie? Can the sisters work with the several shifter protection agencies with out getting into too much trouble? I just can't wait to find out. I was hooked on this book from the moment I started reading chapter one. Thank you Shelly Laurenston for the wonderful read.

SUMMARY

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 alongβ€”that is, if
he
can keep up . . .
