Description

In the Honey Badger Chronicles, nothing gets between a honey badger and her prey. And no one spins a bolder, snarkier, laugh-out-loud, fiercely feminist shape-shifter love story than New York Times bestselling author Shelly Laurenston

Emily Tock Meyerson-Jackson is on a mission to rid the world of shifters trafficking humans for hunting and cash. And now that shes narrowed down her suspects to a brutal coalition of male lions, nothing will get between this honey badger and her preynot even a dog-loving Tiger with absolutely no time management skills. Doesnt matter that Shay Malone is ferociously adorable. With a war brewing between cat families, Tock doesnt have time to lounge around with a football-playing tiger shifter. But when she realizes the coalition is also responsible for the death of Shays father, shes 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 Shays alluring partner in crime-solving, so is seduction. Tock might be a bad-ass of a honey badger, but shes awfully cute when shes flashing her fangs, which shes 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
