Five Reasons to Read Shelly Laurenston
Need a pick me up? Well, I have the perfect series for you. Shelley Laurenston has a brand new Paranormal Romance series that features honey badgers and let me tell you, it’s hilarious. I find that funny books are the best books to help you clean your slate and start new. The first book is called HOT AND BADGERED and it’s easily one of my favorite books this year. If that doesn’t convince you then here the top five reasons why you need to be reading this series.
Her characters are ruthless
If you’ve never read a Shelley Laurenston book then you probably have no idea what “brutal” or “vicious” means. But once you read this book, you will see just how crazy her characters can be. I mean, they’re practically psychopaths!
The women run shit here
Charlie is just one of Laurenston’s heroines who doesn’t allow anything to bring her down. When her father tries to get her killed, she’s the only one that her little sisters can rely on. It’s this independence and tenacity from her heroines that make me adore them. Plus, she’s lethal when she’s mad so don’t ever mess with her.
The heroes are so lovable!
I know this kind of contradicts number five but that’s the thing about Laurenston’s characters – they’re multidimensional and when you read this book you’ll totally understand what I mean. Berg is a giant grizzly protection specialist but he also has this side that only comes out when Charlie is around. It makes for a really fun time!
A genre-bender anyone?
This series is technically a Paranormal Romance series however you’ll see what I mean when I say that it also works as a cute and funny Romantic Comedy as well. If this book was made into a movie or TV series, you can bet that I would see it!
Laugh Laugh Laugh
Obviously the main reason many readers read Shelly Laurenston’s books is because they get so much joy from them. Just from the first chapter, I was already laughing out loud at some of the lines. The stories and characters are often absurd, but that’s actually what I enjoy about them the most. No other author is willing to go to the limits to see where their characters end up and that’s why I keep coming back for more.
So I hope those were enough to convince you to try out this new series. If you do read it, don’t forget to tell me what you think! Happy reading!

When it comes to books I’m pretty adventurous. I read everything from Paranormal Romance to Urban Fantasy, New Adult, BDSM, LGBT fiction, Cozy Mysteries and even YA. If it’s got the littlest trace of romance in it, then I’ll probably read it. That being said, my all-time favorite authors are J.R. Ward and Karen Marie Moning.
When I’m not submerged in a good book, you can find me musing about makeup and planners or dreaming about Kpop boys and beaches. Until then, check out my reviews and let’s talk books!

Love Shelly’s shifter and dragon books and have been reading every book from her first shifter book release. I enjoy her fun in writing about her different worlds with awesome female characters , funny heros and brilliant interconnections with characters from other books. The laughter just erupts from me as I devour her books. I reread her books plus enjoy the audio books that make the miles disappear on long distance trips here in Australia.
