This is the start of Berg’s fascination with Charlie, but Charlie doesn’t want to bring solid, dependable Berg into her crazy life. When he finds her a few days later he helps them rent a house in his bear neighborhood where they will catch the scent of any non bear who tries to sneak in. He helps protect her from the armed men who are chasing her and she runs out the door before he learns her name. These ladies are no different they are death personified, but sweet and funny at the same time.īerg Dunn meets Charlie when she dives naked out of her hotel bedroom and lands two flights down in his. They will fight a grizzly to the death even though they are bigger and more fierce. Sounds like a lot more fun, right? Honey badgers are notorious for not being scared of anything. However, this is a shifter novel, so that same sentence should actually be, full blooded honey badger, Charlie is the overprotective sister to her half tiger/honey badger genius younger sister, and her psychotic always smiling honey badger middle sister. If this were a normal novel I’d say that Charlie is the overprotective older sister who has taken it upon herself to protect her two younger sisters their entire lives.

I always look forward to a new release and I’ve been looking forward to reading Hot and Badgered since I read and featured the Chapter excerpt a few months ago. Her characters do have the characteristics of the animals they shift into, but unlike other novels in the human shifting into animal paranormal genre, it doesn’t skeeve me out. Shelly Laurenston writes the most irreverent and fun shifter romance novels.
