I was so disappointed when I came to the end of the excerpt. What? Only one chapter? Major sad! Because I was already laughing out loud, completely involved in the story, and thinking, who IS this Laurenston chick and how have I overlooked her? Oh yeah, I don't like shifter stories... Well, if you don't either, it's time to set aside your prejudices - just this once - and try this book. At least download the sample. If you don't end up buying the book, I'll eat my Kindle 10. Enjoy ;)

Just a chapter excerpt left me wanting more - which brought me straight to my favorite book-seller to pre-order Hot and Badgered.

When I requested this book to review, I had not idea it would be just the first chapter. How in the world do you review a book based on one chapter? Will I like the book? Of course I will. It is a Shelly Laurenston book after all. Will it be one of my favorites? Probably. It does have bears and honey badgers.

BUT I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE BECAUSE I ONLY HAVE THE FIRST CHAPTER!

I was so disappointed when I realized I didn't have the entire book. Oh well, something to look forward to.

As this was just an excerpt, I was kinda a cliffhanger for me. But it gave me a glimpse on how the people on the book met. I actually love how this started. I look forward to reading the whole book.

Liked what I read, but it wasn't enough for me to get a clear idea. Looks like it could be a fun read, so I'll check it out when it releases.

Since this is a sampler and not the full ARC I will not be writing a review for it at this time. I liked the tease from the sampler and can't wait to read the full novel. Shelly Laurenston is a great paranormal author who always delivers on the laughs and sexy times. I love seeing what kind of shifters she will come up with next and a badgered is one I've not read yet.

Wow what a hot exciting little teaser! Just these few chapters makes me so excited for the book! Such a bad ass heroine! 🤗🤗

This had me hooked from the start, and I want more. I need to know what is going on, and what is going to happen. Are they going to see each other again. I only got a chapter excerpt from netgalley and I really want to have the book, like right now. I mean giving me a excerpt is teasing me, when I want more.😊

A great start with a plot that drags you in from the start

So I was a bit disappointed when I first requested this book. I thought it was the whole shabang, but alas it is not. Just a chapter excerpt. In the typical Laurenston fashion, you have a bit of pandemonium, thrown in with a lot of confusion and totally hilarious moments that make you fall in love with the characters. In this first book of The Honey Badger series we have Charlie, Maxie and Stevie MacKilligan. They are sisters and by the introduction in this chapter they are in trouble. Lol. I loved it, even with the disappointment. So far, so good and I can't wait for the full edition!

This review is going to be super short because I accidentally asked for (and got) a sneak peek of Hot and Badgered. I got the first chapter and what a first chapter it was!! I was hooked and super disappointed when it ended. I need to know more about Berg and Charlie. I need to know where their romance is going. I also need to know why Charlie’s father is trying to kill her. I also need to find out how a honey badger shifter and a grizzly bear shifter romance is going to turn out.

So, guess I am going to go get the book when it’s published. Unless I get the full ARC.

I would like to thank Shelly Laurenston, Kensington Books, Kensington and NetGalley for allowing me the privilege of reading this chapter excerpt of Hot and Badgered.

All opinions stated in this review of Hot and Badgered are mine

**I chose to leave this review after reading an advance reader copy**

Since this is a chapter excerpt I'll keep this short and succinct - guys, I think I'm in love.

Laurenston (and her alter-persona, GA Aiken) has not let me down with any of her books. They're fun, they're quippy, they're light-hearted and they're exciting. Be it Valkyries, Dragons or Honey Badgers she brings the fun and the heat.

And as someone who REALLY ENJOYED the last time we got a Honey Badger romance (BITE ME) all I can really say is this: get better security because a Honey Badger never fails.

I only received a brief look into this book (Hit and Badgered), from NetGalley for my honest review/opinion.

What a tease!! I was starting to really get into it and WHAM! Brief over. Lol. There's really not much I can say except; Naked shifter female gets attacked by military trained men. Goes out hotel window, which by the way was far from the ground. Two other male shifters one a body guard/baby sitter, the other an annoying (but FUNNY) prodigy, were in another hotel suite talking when naked girl comes thru their window. Male shifters do the usual male reaction, they gawk at her. Hotel room door crashes in, seems military has found naked girl and gunfire goes off. One of the male shifters gets p**sed when bullets hit him and his"hump" Starts to grow on his back between shoulder blades. Takes care of military jerk. Female goes to leave, the other male shifter, Jackal, reminds female she's naked. Jackal grabs shirt outta his bag for her. But mistakenly gives her his favorite t-shirt and she takes off. Grizzly asks jackal: "Do you think I'll see her again?"

My recommendation? I.can't.wait. for this release!! I know this was merely a glimpse. But I still was busting up laughing. All the shifter books the author has written that I've read, The Pride and Magnus series plus all earlier dated one's, were awesome!! So, Hell yeah I highly recommend. Plus, I encourage you to check out her other books as well.

The chapter excerpt plunges straight into the action, giving a taste of intrigue, humour and excitement. Definitely left me wanting to read more!

This taste of the beginning has me starving for the rest!

Shelly Laurenstons new novel Hot and Badgered doesn’t come out until March 27th, but when offered the chance to read a chapter in advance of the release, I just couldn’t pass it up! I zipped through this chapter, once again loving the humor, dialog, and action. Her novels are unlike any other shifter novels.

Please be aware this review covers the first chapter. I had the pleasure of reading the first chapter of Shelly Laurenston new book Hot and Badgered the first book in a new series The Honey Badgers. Well, readers come March 27, 2018, you would want to put this book on your calendar as one book you don't want to miss.

Since the first chapter is only 11 pages long, it showed that Hot and Badgered is set up to be a romantic hot and funny read with tons of action. And by the time the story is over we all are going to need a doctor because we're seriously going to need stitches.

I'm not sure how to review this. It was only a few pages. I am looking forward to the actual book. (I guess this will teach me not to read the entire description on Netgalley.)

Well it was definitely an interesting read that pulled me in but now I need to go read the rest of it. Definitely shows how great a writer she is that the chapter excerpt hooks me enough to go get it.

Will post review on blog after reading the full book.
