In a Badger Way

The Honey Badgers Chronicles, Book 2

By: Shelly Laurenston

Narrated by: Charlotte Kane

Petite, kind, brilliant, and young, Stevie is nothing like the usual women in whom bodyguard Shen Li is interested. Even more surprising, the youngest of the lethal, ball-busting, and beautiful MacKilligan sisters is terrified of bears. But she's not terrified of pandas. She loves pandas.    

Which means that whether Shen wants her to or not, she simply won't stop cuddling him. He isn't some stuffed giant panda, you know! He is a giant panda shifter. He deserves respect and personal space. Something that little hybrid is completely ignoring.   

But Stevie has a way of finding trouble. Like going undercover to take down a scientist experimenting on other shifters. For what, Shen doesn't want to know, but they'd better find out. And fast. 

Stevie might be the least violent of the honey badger sisters, but she's the most dangerous to Shen's peace of mind. Because she has absolutely no idea how much trouble they're in...or just how damn adorable she is.  

Contains mature themes.

Couldn’t stop laughing

I loved this book. It had so many laugh out loud moments. It was great to hear about the previous characters especially Blaine. Can’t wait for Max’s story

Love the book, narrator isn’t my favorite

I love Shelly Laurenston/GA Aiken. Her books never disappoint! Charlotte Kane did a good reading of the novel, but she isn’t my favorite narrator. Her voice is fine, but I imagine different voices and inflections for characters than she gives them. Still her reading is smooth and easy to listen to so if I could dock a quarter of a star only I would.

In a Badger Way by Shelly Laurenston
Honey Badger Chronicles, Book 2. Paranormal shifter romance although the romance itself is only in the last quarter of the book. The antics are mostly sister and family related. Best read as part of the series but can be read as a stand-alone. Large cast of characters.
Undercover science experiments, mafia style family connections, shifter forages and burrowing.

Crazy, funny and entertaining. This story doesn’t have a slow speed throughout. Stevie loving pandas is hilarious and her affection for Shen is adorable. His thinking that he is a Giant Panda and should be a bit more scary is charming. The entire family hoping for the death of the sisters thieving father is laughable because none of them would take the steps necessary. All the various family quirks make this story a rollicking good time.

My only disappointment was Shen and his total lack of understanding of the blooming romance. On the plus side, his consistently seeking, chewing, crunching and consuming bamboo was comical.

I enjoyed the audiobook version which amped the humor and made the story come alive.

Best Narrator

Book was great. This is the best Narrator. please let her record all of your books going forward!!

Hysterically funny

Could not stop laughing. Love the way previous characters were worked into the story. Keep the bafgers coming - can't wait for Max's story.

Charlotte Kane has become one of my favorite narrators.
