This little extract only whet my appetite for more. Can't wait to read the whole thing. Shelly never disappoints.

Ok so slight over look on my part, I was so excited to request this book I did notice the sentence that clearly stated first chapter only. First let me state this is so cruel to a faithful reader and fan who has purchased all of these books in paperback and kindle version. Secondly I am hooked and trying to keep my cool till I get to read this whole book.

Loving the you have to wake up earlier to catch me scene. I was hook when the heroine jump the window landed and other floor borrow a t shirt and kick a couple soldiers azz.

More to follow.

Any book that starts with "What had she been thinking? Using the 'Ride of the Valkyries' as a ringtone? Because that shit waking up a person at six in the morning was cruel" you just know is going to be funny. Since this is a Shelly Laurenston book that is simply guaranteed.

This author has the ability to produce tough, wise cracking characters who are truly likable and have a heart, often buried under a gruff exterior. Chemistry between lead characters is rarely a problem and from this glimpse it won't be a problem here either.

It's a great start and I'm looking forward to reading the book in its entirety.

Hot and Badgered, by Shelly Laurenston is the first book in The Honey Badgers series. Even though this book won't be published until March 2018, I had the opportunity to read a preview of chapter one.

Berg Dunn, body guard and grizzly bear shifter, meets Charlie MacKilligan when she literally falls onto his hotel balcony. As a honey badger shifter, Charlie is trying to simply survive, while protecting her sisters.

From what I've read so far, Hot and Badgered is geared towards those who enjoy reading entertaining paranormal action-suspense romances, particularly focused on shifters. I'm definitely looking forward to reading the rest of the book in 2018.


Note: I received this preview chapter from NetGalley, which is a program designed for bloggers to write book reviews in exchange for books, yet the opinions expressed in this review are my own.

REVIEW TO COME LATER.

You can not imagine the excitement on my face when I had the email to say netgalley accepted my request for this!!!.

So you can imagine how devastated I was when I realised it was only the first bloody chapter!.
I felt teased man! Like a deprived women I sat for a good ten minutes thinking something went wrong when i downloaded it to my kindle. It was only after I had a browse on here that I realised it was just me and that they had in fact only teased us with the first chapter. DEVASTATED!!!.

All joking aside though I was a gutted because regardless of it only being one chapter I was immediately invested in this story. I wanted to know everything about Berg and Charlie! Their first meeting was hilarious and I just know the rest of the story will be to.

I can't review one chapter of a story so I will wait until I can read the full story obviously before putting up a proper review however what I have read has only made me want it even more. EXCITED.

I kindly received this ARC from netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

A wonderful glimpse of the book to come - honey badgers rule is all I can say !
So looking forward to the book release after this teaser !

Love this author, and have read many of her books. This latest one is another keeper. Sadly I could not read the whole book, as it was just a teaser that was given, but oh my! what a teaser it was. Lots of action and snarkiness that made me what to keep on turning the page. Can't wait to read the whole story here. One of my favorite books by her had a polar bear, and this one has a grizzly bear. The one who will be his interest is a honey badger, and of course bears love honey! Highly recommend this author and this series and book. Will easily stand alone, but her books are so fun to read I encourage you to check them out.

This only gave me a taste of what's to come in the book but i can't wait for it to get here, need to know how everything turns out. We even meet one of the old characters from another book and with this persons family things should get interesting.

I received only a sneak-peek of only 10 pages of this book, so I can't honestly leave a real review, but I gave it 5 stars because I know Shelly Laurenston's work, as I have pretty much, if not all, of the work she's released, ever. I always re-read books I have, and I have no qualms that I'll be doing the same when, not if, I either receive Hot and Badgered to review, or when I buy it.

Hot and Badgered is the newest book in the shifter series for Shelly Laurenston. This series is a go to for me anytime I want some good, light hearted fun, and this book seems like it will deliver. This was only a small excerpt, so it's really hard to tell what the story will be about, but the action was there from the start along with some familiar faces. (The Jean-Louis kids). I can't wait to read the whole book!

My reaction after reading this "wait, is that it?"
I have never read any book by Shelly Laurenston and from this sneak peek, I'd love to read her other books and I am drawn to The Call of Crows series. I love a shifter romance and being teased about it with a heroine who looks like trouble and knows how to handle a .45, then I'd be lying if I said I'm not interested. I know it sucks to have an incomplete rating, but I'm fifty-fifty with this one, it has my attention alright, as for the opening line wonder what it'd feel like if it started with "Get out...get out now!" I'm grateful for the sneak peek would love to see where this goes!

I only received the first 11 pages. They were good but can I please get the rest?

It's a shame that this was only a sample as I absolutely love this author and the honey badgers. This authors is one the only authors who can genuinely make me laugh out loud. I can't wait to read the full version. The low rating is due to the fact that this is a sample only.

It's a good start to the new series with the honey badgers. I like the fact that Coop from the Pride series is in it. I can already tell its going to be another great Shelly Laurenston book.

Sneak Peak was good but very unsatisfying. Had I read publishers note I never would have started this book. I'll need to make note that I've only read one chapter otherwise I'll put book aside for something I haven't yet read. I do re-read books, however it is a concsious decision dependent upon my mood. I'd recommend reading all S. Lauenston/ G.A. Aiken books just not sneak peaks as it confuses issue when entire book is released as to if I've already read for this reason I'm giving 2 stars based on incomplete. Despite getting arcs I buy actual books when they come out as I am a collector & I do re-read.

Great start and love that the heroine is a honey badger. I'm sure it will be hilarious and well written.

This was a fun preview and left me wanting to read more. The story moves fast but I'm used to that from Shelly's Crow series. I haven't read her Pride series, which I believe this new book is a spinoff from. I am interested in reading more of the Pride books now. Sometimes, the hopping viewpoints can be jarring, until you get used to the rhythm of the prose.

I wish the preview had shown more of the heroine and her sisters instead of the hero though. Shelly does very interesting female friendships and I love that theme in the Crow series. But the brief glimpse we got of the honey badger shifter sisters did leave me wanting to know more about them.

This looks to be another fun, fast-paced, violently bonkers read. I'm all in!

Holy crap! I didn't see the disclaimer that it was only the first chapter! I loved this. It was different from the other books in the series. A little James Bondesque with tons of action. I want more!

Bad me didn't see the reference that this was the first chapter sneak peek. Needless to say I am very much desirous of the rest! This chapter is hinting at another fun read by Shelley Laurenston!
