Publisher's summary

Livy Kowalski has no time for idiots. When you shapeshift into a honey badger, getting through life's irritants is a finely honed skill. Until she gets stuck housing her nutso cousin and dealing with her dad's untimely and unexplained demise.

That's where Vic Barinov comes in-or his house does. Vic can't step outside without coming back to find Livy devouring his honey stash and getting the TV remote sticky. It gets his animal instincts all riled up. But he'll have to woo her at high speed: All hell is breaking loose, and Livy is leading the charge…

Critic reviews

"Hot shape-shifters and even hotter passion." (Gena Showalter, New York Times bestselling author)

Once again!!!

Shelly comes through with a dynamite story. I bought and read this book months ago, but now I wanted the audio version. Yes, unabridged, but so good. The audio is worth every penny.

Not my favorite, but still worth the credit

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

I would have had more romance/interaction between Livy and Vic, and less violence. It's a good-sized book so I sometimes lost the thread of the romance amongst the rest of the story. (Since I do most of my listening at work, part of that lost thread could be my distraction and no fault of SL.)

Any additional comments?

I'll definitely listen to this again as I have almost all of the other books in this series. I love listening to my favorite series over and over again. If I do miss something one time, I'm sure to catch it the next.

Love Laurenston!

Did it meet my expectations? Yes!
Favorite part? I have two actually. The part where Victor and Nobokov go head to head in their hybrid forms and they were just "play fighting" as they tore each other and their surroundings apart. And the part where Livy shifted into her Honey Badger form and attacked Blaine for being annoying. Hilarious!

cute and engaging

This is a great Shelly Laurenston book, the story is really engaging. The reader is hard to listen to though. A but flat and monotone for much of the book, pretty good with characters' voices and distinctive. Not good for driving as she almost put me to sleep!

Humor that makes you LOL!!

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns - I loved it!!!

The cover is beautiful with the white tiger though I wish it would have looked more like a hybrid :)

This is the 9th book in the Pride series. I have read most of the books in this series though before I started reviewing the books I read.

I really love this series! It always has family drama, fighting, love, conflict, and the good guys win (well kind of good….lol) which is the way I like it. This is Livy and Victor’s story. Livy is a strong but scary woman….err honey badger. Victor is a hybrid, and he is interesting. I am not one for giving plot details away which makes my reviews hard to write especially when I love the book. Whether reading the book or listening to the audiobook, you cannot go wrong when it is written by Shelly Laurenston. She weaves fantastic stories that are complex, and her humor always has me laughing to the point of tears. I love her style and characters. I also love that even though each story is unique and features a new couple; she always brings those characters you already love back so you don’t have to miss them :)

I am a huge fan of all of her shifter books. Time is my only limiting factor :) I really love audiobooks because I can listen in the car while I drive :) At the start, I wasn't sure I would like the narrator, but I quickly grew to love her and all her voices. Great job and very entertaining :)

I highly recommend this story and series to any shifter lover because you will fall in love with her characters and humor.

CAPTIVATING !!!

Shelly Laurenston has become one of my top favorites with this series, so well written and narration is just PERFECT!! You will definitely LOVE and ENJOY this book and all the others in The Pride Series!!!

Best series ever

Cute characters that make me laugh every time I read this series of books, then you add the narrator/actress who who brings these books to life so beautifully.... perfection!

Awesome

Great. Like the best. So awesome. No complaints. Hilarious, smart and sexy. Great narration. Love the relationship between the cat/bear hybrid males.

Funny, funny, funny

great story great narration. Loved it so I bought the others just to hear these lives again.

Least Funny...

Of the entire series, this is the least funny of all the books. Still a good book, but the others had me howling with laughter. I think this is the third or fourth time I’ve read/listened to this series, and will definitely do it again.
