review 1: The first four chapters are at least entertaining with their so-bad-it's-almost-good writing. The characters are flat, the writing is just horrible on so many levels, but at least I was entertained by how bad it is. There's a borderline parody level of redundancy. And it's really obvious there were two writers. There are a few moments were the writing attempts to break the fourth wall. It really doesn't work.I'm rambling, and I know this isn't a very coherent review.Neither is this book.Blake tries to rape Honey in her sleep. Yet, the writers conveniently handwaves this as 'seduction' to further the budding romance. Frankly, it's disconcerting.Then, lo and behold, the two star-crossed lovers forgive each other, and we get almost a whole chapter dedicated to detailed descri... moreptions of their lust-fuelled lovemaking. I've seen better writing on Literotica.I wanted to give a one-star review, but at least I was entertained by laughing at the poor writing. And, although it's technically horrible writing, at least they proof-read it.
review 2: Honey, a human, runs a bar that is open for both humans and shifters. She's a lover of hedgehogs and has 3 of them as pets. Unbeknownst to her, Blake, the shifter that won't take a hint happens to be a werehedgehog. He has a major thing for Honey, and is determined to say the least.While there was some steamy sexy scenes, I found myself laughing when I wasn't meant to. Mainly because of the werehedgehog and his antics. I also found the main character, Honey, getting on my nerves. If I read the term "Hedgie" or "virgin ring of muscle" again it will be too soon. I picked up Hedging His Bets because I was in a silly mood, it was exactly what I expected. This book is on the erotic side, and is a very quick read. I believe Amazon said it came in at around 70 pages. While this book wasn't exactly for me, it satisfied my curiosity of werehedgehogs. less

Everyone in this book was stupid. If a woman is asleep, she can't give consent, that's rape. Duh!!!
