In a Badger Way
In a Badger Way by Shelly Laurenston is $2.99! This is the second book in the Honey Badgers series and I even made a special cocktail for it! Laurenston’s books are very much over the top with lots of improbable scenarios. Sometimes, that may just be what you need.
Petite, kind, brilliant, and young, Stevie is nothing like the usual women bodyguard Shen Li is interested in. 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, ya 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.

Snowspelled by Stephanie Burgis is 99c at Amazon and $2.99 elsewhere! This is a fantasy romance novella. I also love this cover so much. The writing and world-building are beautiful, though I wanted more romantic conflict.
In nineteenth-century Angland, magic is reserved for gentlemen while ladies attend to the more practical business of politics. But Cassandra Harwood has never followed the rules…
Four months ago, Cassandra Harwood was the first woman magician in Angland, and she was betrothed to the brilliant, intense love of her life.
Now Cassandra is trapped in a snowbound house party deep in the elven dales, surrounded by bickering gentleman magicians, manipulative lady politicians, her own interfering family members, and, worst of all, her infuriatingly stubborn ex-fiancé, who refuses to understand that she’s given him up for his own good.
But the greatest danger of all lies outside the manor in the falling snow, where a powerful and malevolent elf-lord lurks…and Cassandra lost all of her own magic four months ago.
To save herself, Cassandra will have to discover exactly what inner powers she still possesses – and risk everything to win a new kind of happiness.
A witty and sparkling romantic fantasy novella that opens a brand-new series from the author of Kat, Incorrigible, Masks and Shadows and Congress of Secrets.

The Best Friend Incident by Melia Alexander is 99c! The cover model on this one is kind of adorable, isn’t he? But don’t stare at it too long or it gets an uncanny valley vibe. This is a friends to lovers romance and readers really enjoyed the writing, but the wished there was a stronger conflict keeping the main characters apart.
The friend zone just got a lot hotter…
Stacey Winters is in love with love, but so far, she’s only found Mr. Dud, Mr. Cheater, and Mr. Boring. Even though her best friend Grant isn’t an option, at least being around him offers her a window into the male psyche—and sets the bar high for her future Mr. Right.
But then she accidentally crosses the friend zone and kisses him, and it starts to feel a little too much like he might be what she’s been looking for…
Grant Phillips doesn’t do relationships. A casualty of the foster care system, he knows people are just looking for a reason to bolt. “No attachments” is his hard and fast rule. There’s only one exception: his best friend, Stacey. He refuses to jeopardize what they have.
But now that he knows how good it felt to kiss her, felt the addictive slide of her body against his, Stacey Winters is indelibly stamped onto Grant’s brain—and not just as his friend.
He is so screwed.

A Dangerous Affair by Jillian Eaton is 99c at Amazon! This is part of the Bow Street Brides series and can be read on its own. I love books with thief heroines and I definitely added this to my TBR. Readers say there’s a great sense of action in this one, but found the ending a bit rushed.
A THIEF WITH NOTHING TO LOSE…
Juliet is beautiful, intelligent…and one of the best thieves in all of London. Raised in the cutthroat streets of St. Giles, she’s learned to survive by whatever means necessary. Even if those means include pretending to be a highborn lady to avoid capture by The Wolf, one of Bow Street’s most cunning runners…and the only man to ever set her blood on fire.A RUNNER WITH A SCORE TO SETTLE…
Grant is charismatic, titled…and second-in-command of the Bow Street Runners. When his captain orders him to find and arrest the lad who has been stealing jewelry from the ton’s elite he thinks it’s just another job. Until the lad turns out to be a five foot, four inch red-haired hellion with a penchant for knives…and the softest lips he’s ever kissed.A DANGEROUS AFFAIR…
Juliet and Grant’s daring game of cat and mouse will take them from the glittering ballrooms of Grosvenor Square to the dangerous alleys of the East End as they try to outwit one another…and fight their growing passion. But when an enemy from Juliet’s past threatens her future, she has no other option except to trust the runner she has sworn to hate. Forced to choose between duty and desire, will Grant listen to his head…or risk everything to follow his heart?Add to Goodreads To-Read List →

Snowspelled was a quick enjoyable read.
I read the review for the first Honey Badger book, Hot and Badgered and was intrigued, but shifter fiction really isn’t my bag. The review came up again in a roundup post just before I went on vacation, and the library had an ecopy, and I was looking for light reading, so I grabbed it. And, I loved it. I think it was the writing rather than the genre that hooked me (and apparently I love over the top scenarios!). The author uses just the right combination of action, romance, sex, competence, comedy, and inclusiveness.
I’ve now grabbed In a Badger Way, and I’ve very much looking forward to reading it.
Second Chance Cowboy by Joanne Rock is free
I one clicked In a Badger Way so hard. The first book in the series is hilarious and I can’t wait to see what Stevie gets up to!
I DNFed “In a Badger Way” about half way through. If my kindle hadn’t told me it was at 54%, I’d have said it was much further in than that. By 54% nothing much in the way of a plot had materialized. Lots of temper tantrums, lots of various people attacking various other people,lots of set pieces which I presume were meant to be funny, but weren’t.
I read and enjoyed her Crows series, but this was a total dud as far as I was concerned. By 54% I was tired of waiting for something interesting to happen and I didn’t care enough about any of the characters to keep slogging along.
