Description from the publisher:
The world has gone mad! Absolutely nuckin' futs crazy! Well, maybe not yet, but Dr. Winifred – please call her Freddie – Lightfoot is sure all hell's about to break loose if she doesn't stop the idiot who's destroying the world's coffee fields.

Life without caffeine is a no-go for this FUC superhero – a world without her favorite drink is not a world she wants to live in. Time to throw on her rainbow wings and kick tail, even if it means putting off meeting a certain sexy-as-the-day-is-long Honey Badger.

Retirement was boring, running the Sundowner with his family more than tedious, Buck Blackthorne needed adventure, purpose, to be on the front lines again. One quick email to Furry United Coalition Newbie Academy – FUCN'A - and everything was a go.

With more years of combat under his belt than all the cadets combined, he just knew training would be a snap! Well, like a bang, boom, kapow and a trip to the Infirmary… Maybe retirement wasn't so bad.

But one whiff of a certain, sexy Winged Tree Frog, and all bets were off. He was in for the long haul and ready to claim her as his own… But where the hell did she go?

One unanswered phone call, a supersonic trip south, and jumping from a perfectly good plane was all in a day's work for this Honey Badger hero. There wasn't a jungle that could stop him, but Prehistoric Shifters? Well, that was a new one.

Time to save his Mate, save the day, and heaven help him save the coffee! Oh, baby, put your head between your legs and kiss your booty goodbye, time to get FUC'd in the best possible way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A TREE FROG AND HER HONEY BADGER is the fifteenth book in the multi-author FUC Academy series.  Each is a stand-alone, paranormal, romantic suspense story set in the FUC world created by Eve Langlais.  You do not need to have read any of those books to start this series – I haven’t, though I wish now that I had.
 
This is the first book I have read from Julia Mills and I promise it will not be the last.  For those who know and love her Dragon Guards, you’ll recognize a few characters.  For those, like me, who have not read that series yet, there are a few chapters that are a great tease to make you want more of these hot and sweet dragon mates.  They add to this story and make a great advertisement for the author’s other works.  Well done Ms. Mills!
 
Now, as for this particular story.  Two unique shifters and they are both not just unique in their shifts, but in their personalities.  Freddie is particularly quirky (and addicted to morning life-giving sustenance). 
 
I absolutely loved this story, and I cannot wait for more.  At the end of the book, the author has listed DOC AND HER DRAGON and DUSTY AND HER DINO as future books that will be in the FUCnA series from her, but they are not yet listed on the website.  I’m looking forward to them!
 
Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
