About this listen
It's not every day that a beautiful, naked woman falls out of the sky and lands face-first on grizzly shifter Berg Dunn's hotel balcony. Definitely, they don't usually hop up and demand his best gun. Berg gives the lady a grizzly-sized t-shirt and his cell phone, too, just on style points. And then she's gone, taking his XXXL heart with her. By the time he figures out she's a honey-badger shifter, it's too late.
Honey badgers are survivors. Brutal, vicious, ill-tempered survivors. Or maybe Charlie Taylor-MacKilligan is just pissed that her useless father is trying to get them all killed again, and won't even tell her how. Protecting her little sisters has always been her job, and she's not about to let some pesky giant grizzly protection specialist with a network of every shifter in Manhattan get in her way. Wait. He's trying to help? Why would he want to do that? He's cute enough that she just might let him tag along - that is, if he can keep up....
Contains mature themes.

Unfortunately only 3 is made into audio books as I am writing this.
Three hybrid honey badger / wolf / tiger step sisters with the world's worst father gets into all sorts of trouble and finds love on the way. The love stories is subdued in this very nicely built (and very violent but funny) shifter world, so if you are looking for more of a "clean" romance this is not the books. If you are looking for a very good story with multi dimensional characters and tears of laughter this is the best stuff.
1. Introduction to the sisters and the oldest sister Charlie (super strong and good with guns / excellent baker) falls off a balcony and meets grizzly shifter Berg.
2. Youngest sister Stevie (a genius afraid of everything, especially bears and squirrels) meets an adorable shifter panda bear Chen (a trained body guard but sooooo adorable, like a giant stuffed panda toy)
3. Middle sister and mercenary Max "saves" a shifter, Ze, who doesn't know he is a cat and keeps him. Even though she doesn't like cats at all and often gets into fights with a local stray,
So funny

That sounds like a criticism, but it really isn't because this was one entertaining book. I really like the three sisters, who are totally mad. Absolutely crazy and oh so funny. (It seems like crazy is a family trait.)
It took me a while to settle into the story but I really enjoyed it. With a fast paced plot and some great characters of varying shifter breeds.
The narration was really well done, the characters voices and personalities were performed to an incredibly high standard.
Funny, crazy and really enjoyable.

This book was a complete gamble, it was recommended in my Audible suggestions and I thought it sounded fun, which I was in need of yesterday. (Yes, I listened to it in less than a day, it was that funny). I’m really glad I decided to give into my impulse to buy it, because it was worth the credit I spent on it.
Shelly Laurenston is a very talented author, she balanced characters, plot and humour very deftly indeed. The MacKilligan sisters are a brilliant creation. They are three half siblings who have a complete disaster for a father and their mothers aren’t in their lives. They were being raised by Charlie, the eldest’s, mother because Max, the middle child’s, mother was in jail for armed robbery and Stevie, the youngest’s, mother abandoned her daughter for some unknown reason. When Charlie’s mother was killed the three girls walked hundreds of miles, by themselves, to their grandfather’s pack and made sure they could stay in the most manipulative and ruthless way possible, because there was no way they were being separated. The rest of their lives they stuck by each other through thick and thin, despite their epic arguments.
The arguments were mainly because they were honey badgers, well at least half honey badger. They are hybrids and as such have very freaky DNA. Charlie, for instance doesn’t shift, but she is incredibly strong and grows fangs and claws. She also holds the three sisters together through sheer determination, attitude and really heavy punches. She needs all three because Max is unburdened by morals of any kind and Stevie suffers from a severe panic disorder that needs constant medication and therapy. Stevie is also a genius. Basically Stevie and Max need lots of managing. Add into the mix their con artist of a father who doesn’t care for his daughters except to use them for his own safety or financial gain and there is a lot going on ALL the time.
Charlie is introduced to Berg, a grizzly bear shifter, when she arrives naked into a hotel room where he is protecting a famous pianist. When armed military types swing into the room Berg’s chivalry springs into action and he helps her fight off the guys holding the weapons. He knows she is a shifter being chased by full humans so he gives her a gun and an oversized t-shirt and thinks he’ll never see the gorgeous woman again. When they meet again he decides to help once more and finds them a house to rent on his street, which in inhabited by bear shifters. He and his other triplet siblings, Britta and Dag, offer help and protection to the MacKilligans and the street may never be the same again!
There are so many crazy antics in this book you will never get a chance to get bored. The sibling relationships are fascinating and the romance between Charlie and Berg is slow moving and believable. The romance is really the smallest part of the plot but it is sweet and worthwhile. The pace of the book is at a high level and you don’t get many slow parts to stop and thing about what’s going on, so you do have to be in the right frame of mind to enjoy it. I think it’s worth it, if you are in need of a pick me up or a strong diversion.
As this author has written so many other books about shifters I’m sure that I’m missing lots of information about some of the supporting characters but it didn’t matter as they worked within the context of the plot. It does make me want to look at some of the older books though, as well as listen/read the rest of this series. It really was very good.
Absolutely Hilarious

The style of the story sounded oddly familiar so I looked the author up and it turns out they also write the Dragon Kin series under the name G.A. Aiken. That’s a fun listen too. I’ll definitely keep a look out for books by both pseudonyms.
Enjoyable - author known as G.A. Aiken
