About this eBook

Sugar has a problem and Bad Panther has the purr-fect solution.

Dr. Sugar Jennings is an Archaeologist and an Ancient Earth Historian. She’s also the host of an ancient artifact of enormous power. Now everyone wants Sugar dead because of it. They want the power she possesses, but she can’t let them get it. Desperation drives her to seek help but no one is willing to risk their life in the job of protecting hers. Or no one did until a mercenary panther shifter decided she might be worth the trouble. Now all she has to do is convince the ancient artifact she carries not to kill her panther guardian for trying to help her.

Axel Rodu is a rogue panther shifter and the Guardians of Earth heir to the Lyran throne. His work for the paranormal agency is a special contract only, but even their toughest problems barely keep his boredom at bay. Has he earned the name Bad Panther? Depends on who you ask so long as you don’t ask his newest client. Ironically though, Axel has no intentions of using Dr. Sugar Jennings to worsen his reputation. He has one job to do concerning the nosy archaeologist and one job only. By order of his queen, whatever it takes, he must make sure Dr. Jennings stays alive until the artifact is done with her.

Ratings and reviews

Fascinating story. Ancient alien civilization in earth prehistory. They were sent to guard and protect the Earth's natural systems, flora and fauna (sender unknown.) 4 hidden artifacts are extremely powerful and turn their hosts into warriors. 30,000 yrs later, 2 artifacts have called their hosts-- one has been and one is being assimilated. This section deals with the second warrior, how she's affected by the artifact and the guardian called to help. As a romance the guardian Is a male she can't keep her hands from. He is a halfbreed of human and an alien race of intelligent felines who's therefore able to shift between forms. He's also the heir to the throne of the race which protects the earth. Although, strictly speaking this is a cliffhanger, it's not one I minded because the story is full and satisfying on its own. The writing is intelligent, descriptive, and respectful of the characters. I only found one homophone error, the (use of fair instead of fare) I definitely recommend

An archaeologist and an Ancient Earth Historian, Dr. Sugar Jennings has a problem, she’s the host of a very old, very ancient artifact of enormous power and everyone wants the power she possesses. Rogue Panther Shifter and heir to Lyran throne Axed Rodu has one job to do concerning the archeologist and one job only, by order of his queen he must make sure Dr. Jennings stays alive until the artifact is done with her, no matter what it takes. Bad Panther is a very different kind of story, it’s a cross between paranormal, science fiction and fantasy with a super hero thrown in. The characters are strong, captivating and easily draw readers into their story while fascinating them with all of the different elements. The romance between Axel and Sugar is full of electrical chemistry and steamy passion. The attraction is there and the relationship is building but the artifact may be an obstacle they can’t overcome, or maybe it’s all the people that would love to get their hands on Sugar. The author has certainly created a fascinating world – one that challenges world views and is full of snark, fun, adventure and a unique, refreshingly different story plot. The suspense and excitement builds throughout the story ensuring that the readers remain engaged throughout, never have a dull moment and definitely want more of mysterious world.

Bad Panther (Alien Guardians of Earth #1) by Donna McDonald is an amazing story that I have read and fell in love with. This is book number one in this amazing start to a brand new series. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about shifters, Sci-Fi and paranormal romances in their stories.
