About this book
Emily "Tock" Meyerson-Jackson is on a mission to rid the world of shifters trafficking humans for hunting and cash. And now that she's narrowed down her suspects to a brutal coalition of male lions, nothing will get between this honey badger and her prey—not even a dog-loving Tiger with absolutely no time management skills. Doesn't matter that Shay Malone is ferociously adorable. With a war brewing between cat families, Tock doesn't have time to lounge around with a football-playing tiger shifter. But when she realizes the coalition is also responsible for the death of Shay's father, she's forced to partner up with the flirtatious feline . . .
Revenge is most definitely on the menu for Shay and his tiger shifter brothers. But when it comes to Shay's alluring partner in crime-solving, so is seduction. Tock might be a bad ass of a honey badger, but she's awfully cute when she's flashing her fangs, which she's pretty much doing all the time these days. Good thing revenge is a dish best served hot. Because when it comes to Tock, Shay knows just how to turn up the heat . . .
Contains mature themes.

I LOVE these books, the tigers, lions, and badgers, oh my, not to mention the bears, wolves, and all of the other shifters that roam through Shelly Laurenston’s AMAZING books! I have yet to read a Shelly Laurenston book that I haven’t loved! If you like shifter stories, filled with fun, romance, danger, and laugh out loud humor, you’ll love her books too! I especially love her Badger books. Her Badgers are crazy, and I mean that in the best possible way. And, her Badgers aren’t just crazy,...

4.5 stars I don’t know why I held off on reading this one. Well, it’s probably because I knew I’d need to reread at least the last book to re-familiarize with the characters…but then I reread ALL of the previous books in the series (4 in total), so here we are! 🤷🏽♀️ • Oh, how I enjoyed this book! I remember being so excited when I saw that we had gotten another “Badger” book and I was curious to know who we would focus on. It seems we are now pairing up Max’s team mates, so this one was...

The latest “Honey Badger” book is a great read, filled with humor. While best rated “R”, it is anything but smutty, and advances the whole series while continuing the humorous insanity that surrounds the McKilligan sisters. Best read when you have nothing special planned, because you will not want to put it down. One question, what did the elder Van Holtzes do after Charlie was done in their kitchen? ) One person found this helpful
