My Thoughts

Honestly, there is only one way to describe this book and that is crazy! It is on a hell of a ride. A roller coaster filled with madness and fun.

Stevie is smart, like crazy smart, could win every Novel prize there is smart. She also suffer from depression and anxiety. And she is really scared of bears. Which makes it hard living among bear shifters. I like Stevie, she feels like a lost puppy (make that kitty) at times. She is fun, strange and when she decides something then that is it.

And she has her eyes on Shen. Ha, omg this guy was awesome. He is a giant panda and he is nice, cos pandas are nice. Calm and loves hanging upside down eating bamboo. Who can blame Stevie for setting her eyes on him! And she is also not afraid oh him, cos hello, panda, the sweetest of bears.

Ok, that sounds normal, well it is not. She has two sisters. They are all crazy. Max keeps trying to capture a stray cat. Charlie bakes all day. Their father is a crook and so is the rest of the family. Max is probably a sociopath. They enjoy getting into fights and gets into a LOT of fights. Stevie has shift into a godzilla like honey badger since she is a hybrid. Someone out there is killing hybrids. Stevie is on the case. More ass kicking. More craziness. *deep breath* It never ends, craziness ahoy!

I did like book 1 more, because even though this one was funny, it felt at times, maybe she was trying too hard to always be funny. But hey, it still works for me. 

Final thought

I love the absurdness of it all!

Narration

She has her work cut out for her. Non stop craziness and people beating the shit out of each other. But she did great and kept up the tempo and still, most importantly, made these characters fun and likable.

The voices for men and women worked well and they had their own distinct voices. This really is one for audio so you can breath in all the craziness 

Blurb:

Petite, kind, brilliant, and young, Stevie is nothing like the usual women bodyguard Shen Li is interested in. Even more surprising, the youngest of the lethal, ball-busting, and beautiful MacKilligan sisters is terrified of bears. But she’s not terrified of pandas. She loves pandas. 

Which means that whether Shen wants her to or not, she simply won’t stop cuddling him. He isn’t some stuffed Giant Panda, ya know! He is a Giant Panda shifter. He deserves respect and personal space. Something that little hybrid is completely ignoring.

But Stevie has a way of finding trouble. Like going undercover to take down a scientist experimenting on other shifters. For what, Shen doesn’t want to know, but they’d better find out. And fast. Stevie might be the least violent of the honey badger sisters, but she’s the most dangerous to Shen’s peace of mind. Because she has absolutely no idea how much trouble they’re in . . . or just how damn adorable she is.

Audio. Hot and Badgered - Shelly Laurenston

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 . . .

For review

My thoughts:

These women were insane...ly funny! Honestly this book did not have a dull moment. After a rocky start it took off and never slowed down.

Charlie worries all the time. Her father is an effing idiot. Her sister is a genius and her other sister a sociopath. The rest of the family is a mess too. And it seems that honey badgers are the shifty shifters of the shifter world. 

And so she meets Berg. Oh he was a calm mountain. I loved Bear street, they were all these hunky calm enclave of bears who ate honey and chilled. Oh and they were totally fierce if needed. 

But then the sisters show up, dang, they are messy. They are trouble. There is always chaos and they are always cool, crazy and insane.

Charlie and Berg were perfect. He is so calm and she totally needs to chill.

How on earth her sisters will find love I do not know, I can not see it, nope, she sure has her work cut out for her there.

I guess this is pnr, but it was low on the romance and I liked that. The crazy was at the front here and love came at the end.

Debating what to rate this on GR. But it was just so crazy fun and for that it needs to be stamped with great!

Conclusion:

You will not be bored and you will run screaming from these sisters while you laugh.
