Week 52 Review: Born to Be Badger

From Goodreads:

The Honey Badgers are at it again in the New York Times bestselling and outstandingly witty, snarky, sexy, shape-shifting, world-building Honey Badger Chronicles. This time around, a family of clueless tiger shifter brothers have no idea how lucky they are to have caught the eye of three fierce honey badger females.

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. . . .

My Review:
I had such a fantastic time reading this book! Having different honey badgers from Max's childhood, getting together with the various Malone brothers, is so entertaining! And while there are 4 brothers, I'm not sure if the youngest would be a part of this, since he is collage-aged. We'll see what happens! 

Tock is all about being on time, and being precise with it. Hence the nickname, and the very good, expensive watch that she has. That her mom's side of the family have a lot of power and influence as spies and such, well, of course she got to be a part of the shifter-trafficking humans take down! 

Shay is more of the laid back brother. He's a dad, he loves his dogs, and his life is comfortable. Well, besides investigating his dad's murder, and his attraction to Tock. I really enjoyed watching them together as they dealt with everything life was throwing at them! 

Loved what this book added to the world, of all these connections, and new information, and I'm so excited to see how it's all going to come together in future books! I just have so much fun reading these wild and crazy reads! 

Absolutely loved reading this book, and I can't wait to continue on!
