About this book
Nelle Zhao is a loner, born and bred. Her own company is plenty, and her thoughts are certainly way more interesting than the tedium of reality. But she's also fiercely loyal—to her honey badger teammates and their mission, and now to the three gorgeous big tiger shifters known as the Malone brothers. Especially Keane, who doesn't know how to accept a friendly paw. But Nelle excels at helping! And at ignoring other people's irrational demands, such as doing it all alone. Keane, poor pretty kitty, doesn't understand the kind of assistance a shit-starting honey badger like Nelle can truly offer....
Keane knows two things—he doesn't like other people, and he is going to take down the de Medicis' human trafficking ring. Alone, as in by himself. It's safer that way. But the truth is the de Medicis are a seriously evil coalition of male lion shifters who are not only snatching innocent humans for fun and profit, but who also killed his father. And their combined power means that Keane's going to have to let long-legged, jet-setting Nelle join the fight. And getting close to Nelle is suddenly bringing out his roar....
Contains mature themes.

Shelley Laurenston always tells a great story! Honestly, the world she has built of shifters is some of the best world building I have read in a long time. I love the way the books intertwine with repeat characters and bloodlines. This book in particular includes the humor, action, adventure, and scheming you would expect from Apex predators that are also human. ) One person found this helpful

This was a fantastic tornado of a book! It's like a mashup of Monty Python on meth and a mobbed-up, gory international action flick, with a paranormal sports romance as the cherry on top. I loved the strong and totally insane female characters and their various relationships, and the wildly inventive plot twists. The author has a special talent for infusing her different shifter species with the personalities and temperament of their corresponding animals, more so than any other PNR author I've...

I can always be guaranteed a great read with a Shelly Laurenston book. The humor is hilarious and her writing is vivid and imaginative. When will shifters and full-humans learn to not piss off a honey badger. Those older honey badger and the younger are serious bad asses. No one, absolutely no one can take them on and think they will come out alive or seriously injured. Nelle was perfect for Keane, their personalities are different, but they just get each other. Keane has been so serious and...

Any potential spoilers in here are deliberately vague and \"inside\" so you should be safe! First off (\"Again with the 'First Off'\"), I LOVE the first 4 books in this series, laughing out loud and doing so often through them, digging the beejeezus out of the characters and the stories, getting more grins out of the cameos from the less-lol-funny but highly enjoyable Pride Series. The 5th book...less funny, but still good and moved the big, multi-book storyline waaaayyy more forward than in...

As with all Shelley Laurenston books it had me engaged and laughing out loud. Have been following all her shifter series for many years and so enjoy this world she has created, the character development, and the humour. This was a worthy addition to her honey badger series. Now wondering where we will be taken next. ) One person found this helpful
