Synopsis (Goodreads):
She’s the woman he’s been hired to kidnap. But ZeZé Vargas has other ideas . . . like getting them both out of this nightmare alive. Just one problem. She’s crazy. Certifiably. Because while he’s plotting their escape, the petite Asian beauty is plotting something much more deadly . . .

Max “Kill It Again” MacKilligan has no idea what one of her own is doing with all these criminal humans until she realizes that Zé has no idea who or what he is. Or exactly how much power he truly has.

But Max is more than happy to bring this handsome jaguar shifter into her world and show him everything he’s been missing out on. A move that might be the dumbest thing she’s ever done once she realizes how far her enemies will go to wipe her out. Too bad for them Zé is willing to do whatever it takes to keep her alive . . . and honey badgers are just so damn hard to kill!
Thoughts on Badger to the Bone: The 3rd of the MacKilligan sisters is up to bat and HAHA she's a hoot. You know, in that strike first and sort them out after the knives stop flashing sort of way. Throw in a girl gang of equally vicious, basketball playing, honey badger backup and THERE'S A LOT OF CRAZY GOING ON. As you'd expect when the MacKilligans take center stage.

So. Max. Just as terrifying as Charlie and Stevie in her own way, Max has her own way of dealing with things that often ends in body parts and screaming. Plus, she plays basketball! And she likes to get kidnapped. Well, make likes is an overstatement, but she will take one for the team if it means finding answers to some of her questions. Fortunately for everyone, she realizes pretty quick that one of her kidnappers is a shifter who doesn't realize what he is. So she steps in to save the poor kitty cat. Which sounds complicated, but Zé was working an angle and wasn't really into the kidnapping side of things and...yeah. It's a little complicated.

Meanwhile, Zé is introduced to an entire world he's part of, but has known nothing about. To say Max gives him a crash course in the basics is...not quite accurate. Although she has good intentions, she's not the most reliable at spelling things out. So Zé gets most of his answers from the people surrounding Max and somewhere along the way the two of them end up canoodling.

These honey badgers are certifiably crazy, but somehow they not only drag everyone around them into their crazy, they also kind of worm their way into making unintentional friends. With everyone. Except their enemies. The moral of this story is probably that you want crazy on your side when things go south. And it's better to have the MacKilligan sisters on your side than against you. HA!

GOOD STUFF!
