The Blurb: 

 It’s instinct that drives Finn Malone to rescue a bunch of hard battling honey badgers. The Siberian tiger shifter just can’t bear to see his fellow shifters harmed. But no way can Finn have a houseful of honey badgers when he also has two brothers with no patience. Things just go from bad to worse when the badgers rudely ejected from his home turn out to be the only ones who can help him solve a family tragedy. He’s just not sure he can even get back into the badgers’ good graces. Since badgers lack graces of any kind . . .

Mads knows her teammates aren’t about to forgive the cats that were so rude to them, but moody Finn isn’t so bad. And he’s cute! The badger part of her understands Finn’s burning need to avenge his father’s death—after all, vengeance is her favorite pastime. So Mads sets about helping Finn settle his family’s score, which has its perks, since she gets to avoid her own family drama. Besides, fighting side by side with Finn is her kind of fun—especially when she can get in a hot and heavy snuggle with her very own growling, eye-rolling, and utterly irresistible kitty-cat . . .

My Review

3.5 Honey Badgers of books past Stars

I love Shelly Laurenston. I enjoy how funny and crazy her shifter books are. Especially her honey badgers. I loved the first 3 books in this series but even though I liked this one I didn't love it. I wanted more romance. This book was funny and the plot flowed well. I was never bored. I like both Finn and Mads. I felt the book really needed more of them. There was to much side story going on taking away from Mads and the love part of the book. I didn't feel their love and it made me not connect to them as a couple. Now I loved the pride series and I loved the Mackilligans sisters. I enjoyed seeing them in this book but it seemed they were more of a star then Mads. So while I enjoyed reading this book and I loved spending time with past favorites I had to rate it a bit lower because this was suppose to be Mads and Finns book and I felt like they got ripped off.
