Stevie is a unique mix of shyness, arrogant intelligence, and sexiness. Their courtship in book two is just as comedic but also very sweet. Their forced proximity meet-cute is absolutely hilarious. Said prodigy with a bodyguard in tow moves into the MacKilligan sister’s house in book one. He is assigned to bodyguard a prodigy artist who just so happens to be besties with Stevie. She can cower in a cabinet one minute and then transform into a rampaging tiger-badger the next. During her journey, she begins a budding relationship with a giant panda shifter named Shen. A good chunk of this book is about figuring out her mind and animal within. In a Badger Way finds Stevie in a crisis when her anxiety meds stop working. They just need to figure out who wants these sisters dead, so they can go on a proper date. Charlie is understandably wary but eventually can’t deny how easy on the eyes he is. He also really wants to get to know this mysterious woman. He offers to help them navigate the tricky shifter politics as they are new in town. They decide to lie low in Manhattan where coincidence brings Charlie and Berg together again. This isn’t the first time people have tried to kill them thanks to their terrible Dad. They make a bee-line to pick up their sister Stevie at a fancy Swiss psychiatry clinic/spa. Charlie escapes with his help to meets up with Max outside. Bullets tend to piss off rather than kill bears.
Good thing that stranger is a bodyguard bear shifter named Berg. She ends up naked surrounded by men with guns in a stranger’s hotel room. Hot and Badgered opens with Charlie on the run from assassins in Italy. This paranormal romance trilogy is often hilarious, action-packed, and doesn’t skimp on the heat. But even the most distrustful person deep down wants to find companionship. That did not go over well with the wolves! They learned early on that they can really only trust each other. The three women were raised by Charlie’s mom before being taken in by her wolf grandfather. Her cold, calculating demeanor gives her relatives the creeps. I haven’t read the third book, but already know it’s about Max’s, the full-badger. She is also a half-tiger that can go berserk when off her anxiety meds. She was a child prodigy and genius in music AND science. The next book, In A Badger Way, is about the next sister, Stevie. She is the oldest, half-wolf, and the most sensible sister. Charlie Taylor-MacKilligan introduces us to this wild family in the first book. He lies, cheats, and steals from his family. They’ve been shunned by their honey badger family because their dad is an absolute wanker. And then there are these MacKilligan sisters. Most of the other shifters steer clear of them. The main MacKilligan honey badgers are deep in organized crime with a bad rep. This means tigers, lions, bears, and honey badgers! Honey badgers in the animal kingdom DGAF and will fight just about anything. In this world, there are shifters of almost any breed you can imagine.
When cornered, they can leave a pile of bodies in their wake.
I thought the Crow warrior women were intense and uncouth, but these fierce sisters are fearless AF and not to be underestimated. I fell in love with these feisty shifter women almost instantly. The Honey Badger Chronicles follows the misadventures of three sisters who can’t seem to stay out of trouble. We got a very small peek of the shifter world in the Crow books, so I was intrigued.
Since I enjoyed Shelly Laurenston’s Call of Crows series, I started her new trilogy focused on shifters rather than Viking warriors.
