Born to Be Badger: A Witty Shifter Rom-Com (The… by Shelly Laurenston

Enjoyed most of the story- action packed with a gentle romance brewing, tough female, and lots of time with other characters from previous books. The ending, however was abrupt and disappointing. Really wanted a better ending with more closure on all the main themes.
