In a Badger Way

Publisher's Summary

Petite, kind, brilliant, and young, Stevie is nothing like the usual women in whom bodyguard Shen Li is interested. 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, you 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.  

Contains mature themes.

Charlotte Kane is back! Yay!

It was quite jarring after having had Charlotte Kane for all of the Pride books to suddenly have a new narrator for the first spin-off Badger book. While the new narrator wasn't bad per say, aside from it just not being the character voices we loved already, there were things like characters speaking with Russian accents when they shouldn't etc. since the new narrator didn't know any of the peripheral characters as Charlotte does. So having her back is a huge win! Sorry it disappointed someone else apparently, but those of us who have been listening to the Pride books for years are breathing much easier now.

Thanks for listening to your listeners!

I am Blaine-excited that the publishers heard the comments for the audio version of "Hot and Badgered" and bought back Charlotte Kane to narrate Stevie and Shen's story! For loyal readers/listeners of Laurenston's shifter series, it's like time just fast-tracked and we are revisiting old friends and meeting new ones. I am thoroughly enjoying my listen to this book!

A laugh out loud great story!

What a thoroughly entertaining read with enough action, drama, and a bit of romance that held my attention to the point of not being able to stop listening . The narrator, Charlotte Kane , is one of my favorite narrators and helps to bring this story to life for me. Well done Shelly Laurenston!

Another winner

I wasn't sure if I would like this one. The first badger spin-off was not my favorite. I loved this story. Had me laughing out loud it was so funny. I also loved revisiting past characters hearing about their lives.

There were a few parts that had me wondering. The romance was sudden and almost nonexistent until much later in the story.

Thank you for getting the original narrator. Awesome as usual.

Never wanted it to end!

I love this author! This series is so funny, I look like a lunatic whenever I spontaneously start loling. Icing on the cake is having Charlotte Kane narrate this. She makes it even more enjoyable. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

loved it

Just finished Stevie's book and i already can't wait for Max's to come out! The sense of humour is always top notch, both twisted and hysterical, making me laugh out loud and cringe at the same time. I love this author, series, performance, absolutely everything!

I loved this book!

This book was funny, action filled and just the right amount of sexy. I love the characters and the writing. I cannot wait for the next book in the series. If you liked any of the previous books in the Magnus, or Pride series you will really enjoy hearing from some of the previous characters.

Always an awesome read! Narration was spot on as well, but that's to be expected.

Meandering mess

I remember liking the first book in this series, though I mentioned in my review of that book (when I read it recently to remind myself) that it got a bit lost at times. This book was way worse in that respect. I can’t even count how many points of view there were. It read like an extended epilogue catching up with random characters from a tonne of other series the author has written, but at the cost of the actual plot of this book. I didn’t feel the connection between the couple either. The first book was hilarious but I didn’t feel that so much this time either. So much potential with this author, but I think they need to work with a good editor to direct their obvious talent and humour in the right direction to make a book stand alone in its own right. Other reviewers seem to love this book, but they also mention that they loved catching up with other characters, but Audible doesn’t have these series so I’m missing out on that experience. I’m left feeling like it was a missed opportunity.

great listen

great narrator. excellent story can't get enough of the hunny badgers. make sure you are some where you can laugh out loud when you listen to this .
