A great excerpt! I’m really looking forward to reading the complete book - wonderful characters and an intriguing storyline.

This was a really great first look at Hot and Badgered. I love Shelly Laurenston and can't wait for this book to come out. This teaser really got me interested and I want to know so much more about all of the characters in this book.

I didn't realize this was just a sample....But OMG ....the little that Ms> Laurentson gave me did nothing more than whet my appetite for more. I can't wait to read the rest!!

Wasn't enough of a preview to review the book. From the brief chapter except, it seems to be worth reading.

So very excited for this new series! I didn't want to put it down and almost cried when I realized I was at the last page of the sample!

Another outrageously fun read from Shelly Laurenston, with tough guys and equally kick-ass women. The beginning is intriguing - I'm especially wondering about the missing sister, and just what she is up to. Can't wait for the release of the full version - this has gone straight onto my list of books I must buy.

The first chapter was definitely action-packed and it drew me in. I am curious to see how the story develops throughout the entire book as we only got a taste of the characters and not much about the direction of the plot.

I was only given a chapter to read...
What I read seemed good so far, would love to read the rest of it though.
It's very hard to give an opinion on a few pages

Got the first chapter, and that's it, I'm hooked and will be over this book when released! We have a grizzly as our hero, a honey badger is our heroine, and a jackal pianist is the first side character we get to meet

Lots of action and laughs right out of the gate, need more now!

After only reading the first chapter, I can with absolute certainty tell you that I will definitely be reading the rest of Hot and Badgered. I'm a huge Shelly Laurenston fan anyway, but this opening chapter was action packed all while being totally hilarious and a bit sexy too. So in other words, a complete package and I'm so eager to get my hands on the full book! I mean... hello...it has honey badgers!!! What could go wrong? So stay tuned for my full review as soon as I can get my hands on the whole book!

Action, adventure, and romance as stickily addictive as honey!

It was a fast, action packed glimpse where a half blind, wounded and naked women jumped onto an foreign hotel room balcony. The grizzly bodyguard there helped her to escape her attackers, wonderering if he`ll see her again....

... It was a short, but very promissing snippet.

Fast paced with action and intrigue, Shelly Laurenston has created a fantastic opening chapter which has done exactly what the start of a book should—left me craving more. My five stars are clearly based on that, but I can say I’m excited to read the complete story.

I got the opportunity for a sneak preview of the first chapter. This is going to be good. Grizzly bear and honey badger. Great shifter characters.

Starts off with a bang action packed and fun as usual what else to expect from this author.

4 stars based on the chapter. See what the whole books has to say.

2018 can not come quick enough.

I am kicking myself for not reading the fine print and realizing this was only a chapter before I requested. I also read the first three pages and pre-ordered the damn thing and am now waiting for the entire damn series because it's already ridiculous, zany, and fun and I just need more.

I requested this book on Netgalley and expected the full book. I was given a chapter, which is by far not enough for me to judge a book on.

The first chapter loaded a lot into it, but I wasn't hooked. There was a lot of action, but of course no explanation because it was one chapter. The characters were flat, but that again is because it was one chapter. There was an attempt at a few jokes from some of the male characters, but they rubbed me the wrong way. Seemed very quickly like the "no homo" jokes of high school. I don't see myself picking up this book. There is a chance it gets better, but solely based on the first chapter, it is a no for me.

There was a set-up for an action packed story, but if it is worth reading or going to be fun or anything I can't judge. If I get the rest of the book, I will update the review and see if any of my feelings change.

I love reading books by Shelly Laurenston since they make me laugh out loud and what the characters do.

This was a great sneak peek of the book and I cannot wait for it to get here. It was not clear originally that it was only the first chapter though so I thought I was getting the whole book....When the actual book comes out I will be SUPER excited just based on this first chapter!

Want! Can't wait to get my hands on the entire book:) I'd love a copy if you have hard copies. I sat down to read the eBook thinking it was the entire book, got to the end of the sample and was so disappointed there wasn't more. Love Laurenston's shifters and Aiken's dragons:)

Great first chapter I guess. I deleted the previous version of this and can't get it back. Was that one a sampler as well?
I'm waiting on the full book now.
