I'm so bummed about this book. Jaxxon and his brothers have shown up a few times in the Brac Pack Next Gen books, and to say I was intrigued would be an understatement. So imagine my excitement when I found out that Miz Hagen was giving these bad boys their own series.
Alas, this just didn't live up to my expectations. The Jaxxon of this book, seemed like a pale imitation to the man we have been given glimpses of in the other books. We are gypped out of Jaxxon's POV of running across his mate for the first time. It's all from Evan's perspective, and that really takes away from the whole excitement and joy that these shifters feel when they finally meet their mate. And even though Jax had moments of being cocky and alpha, he just didn't live up to the image I had in my head of him from the bits and pieces we get in the other books. I expected more badass, more dirty talking, just MORE.
Overall this one was a bit of a letdown for me, but I'll still continue on because I am curious to see how things go with the other Remus brothers.

This was a pretty good book that I read for a challenge. Evan Winchester is hanging out in front of a laundromat while his sister Beth is doing is laundry when he meets a hot sexy biker. Jaxxon Remus hot sexy biker he is also a bear shifter he is the alpha of the clan and he has just met his mate Evan who doesn't know shifter's exist. Jax and his brothers own and run "Custom Creations"Jax comes on a little strong and it scares Evan at first and when his sister tells him to stay away from him he tries until Jax shows up at his house. I really didn't like Evan at first he believed what is sister and her dickhead of a boyfriend Mitchell told him about The Remus brothers before he formed an opinion for himself. Mitchell who is a hyena shifter was a creep, but I have to say this was my first time reading about hyena shifter's. When he attacks Evan Jax will do anything to protect his mate turns out The Remus brothers are protecting their streets from drug dealers and thugs like Mitchell. This was a pretty good book the first in a new series too me. Jax tries to take it slow but the two get down and dirty after Evan's attack that Jax interrupted. Mitchell threatened Evan and his sister and when he tells her she doesn't believe him. Mitchell also sets Jax up for murder and he has a price on his head. This book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

Man, Jax was a cocky bastard. Came on WAYYYYY too strong. But, I eventually found it funny the way Evan handled him.

Meh, typical Lynn Hagen book. Shifter meets his mate which is human. I was expecting Jaxxon to be something different. Not sure what exactly, just not this. Evan was okay, nothing overly special. Cute story but nothing I'll remember in 10 minutes...better write this quick!

This is a typical Lynn Hagen series, with first book without a serious plot. There is only one motto "shape-shifter meets his mate". Personally I read it only to see if Lynn Hagen changed something in her writing style, but she didn't. BORING!

Seri The Remus Brothers menceritakan tentang 6 orang bersaudara yang merupakan bear shifter. Di buku pertama ini menceritakan anak pertama dari Remus Brothers yaitu Jaxxon. Yang biasa ditemukan di buku-buku Lynn Hagen, di sini tidak ditemukan seperti selipan-selipan yang bisa bikin ketawa dan kurang terasa romance diantara Jaxxon dengan Evan.

Amo que mi primer libro del año sea uno de esta hermosa serie llamada Bracverse. Lynn Hagen siempre hace las cosas bien.
Jax y Evan me gustaron muchísimo, la verdad, solo que el resto de la historia no me convenció mucho y por eso le doy 3🌟.
Me gustaría saber si William va a tener su libro porque lo ame demasiado🤭

Me gustó el acoso de Mitchell, sobre todo su interés sin respuesta por Evan. Mi parte favorita fue el origen del término cariñoso qué Jaxxon le dió a su pareja 🤗.
Aunque me dejó con la duda sobre la opinión de Beth respecto a Mitchell después del ataque.

You are the Sunshine of my Life
This first book in the Lynn Hagen's Remus Brothers series was an exciting, often humorous adventure. I enjoy stories featuring Bear shifters and this one did not disappoint. Another type of shifter is prominently featured and were described as shifty, suspicious, disgusting, clever, no good, only concerned about their own kind. They are sarcastic, egotistical, bereft of emotions, chauvinistic, greedy, nervous, intimidating, slippery, born liars who are sly & sinister.
These not so flattering terms were used to describe Sugar Creek's main criminal element, the Hyena shifters. They dealt drugs and were gun runners among other criminal enterprises. The Remus Brothers are a family of Bear shifters who own the detailing shop for both bikes and cars, Custom Creations, tried to keep the town's criminal element in check. The eldest brother Jaxxon is a big muscular tough biker. He is considered "Alpha" of most of the shifters in town. They recognize his intelligence, confidence, and capability to protect them. He keeps the world of the supernatural secret in a town full of mostly supernatural residents. Yet to the Humans many saw the Remus Brothers as a dangerous biker gang, not to be toyed with; they weren't exactly squeaky clean.
This is what Beth Winchester believed and when she warned her younger brother, Evan who worked in a drugstore, to stay away from the big biker. What Beth didn't know was that Evan had a motorcycle fetish or how those strong riders really got his motor running. Luckily he was cautious, halfway listening to a sister, who did not heed his own warnings about her creepy boyfriend Mitchell.
The names of the Hyenas seem straight out of a Dick Tracy story: Fingers and Smiley. The were some bad dudes, ruthless, nefarious & cunning. They along with Beth's boyfriend embodied the negative adjectives used earlier to describe the Hyenas. They require constant surveillance. Unfortunately Jaxxon took his eyes off them when he unexpectedly came across his mate. His small stubborn Human mate.
Evan was attracted to the big rock hard biker - who was both arrogant and persistent. Jaxxon never had to pursue someone before. Previously guys fell at his feet and it confounded him that his mate was running from him not towards him. Jax had to learn the hard way that his rough tough demeanour is not appealing. Evan begins to gradually soften Jaxxon's rough edges, so much so his brothers notice. But a relationship with Jax is still a difficult proposition for Evan. That is until dangerous circumstances push them together.
Evan doesn't understand his compelling attraction to Jaxxon. He fights against it, but he's no match for his determined "Alpha" mate. What I really enjoyed was while there was insta-attraction, there was not insta-love. Evan proved to be a formidable contestant in the mating game. A Human - a small Human who drove a burly Bear shifter crazy, by neither doing what Jaxxon expected, as well as demanded. Evan's reaction to the revelation of the existence of shifters was very anticipated and amusing. This was a great start to a series. I can't wait for the other brothers to find their mates.

As first brother, in previous interactions with the Remus brothers, I have to say that I was surprised that Jax's mate was human. Can't exactly pinpoint why.
But, it makes him more... eh, less.. hardass. Definitely get more in depth with his own story and see the man behind the curtain with his cameo appearances.
The part I had the most trouble with is at the end. With head honcho wanting the bears dead and out of the way, his actions didn't mesh. Only explanation was using Jax to enact his own revenge for a totally unsanctioned death within.
Oh and Jax's cockiness in his cameo's shouldn't equal barreling over his mate and trying to immediately push for sex...with a Human! Who doesn't know, doesn't understand.. a little more finese is this area perhaps should have been applied, hopefully without actually losing what we saw in Jax to begin with.
Question now is... are the rest of the brothers going to end up with human mates as well?

Since the Remus Brothers helped to take down the Delgado drug lord family in Dalton Falls (Brac pack next generation) I was excited to read about them finding their mates in their own series. I loved this book and how Jax found Evan (human). Fainting has always been a pet peeve of mine in my stories and even movies but Evan was a cutie who was funny sometimes and also fainted a couple of times. There's hyenas in this story and I thought that it was a very nice creative touch on the author's part. They are known for being shifty, untrustworthy, vile, creatures and one of them was after Evan but was also Evan's sister's boyfriend. The Remus brothers are big intriguing sexy bears and I can't wait to read about the rest of them. Jax protected Evan fiercely and the story was filled with mystery and danger. I thoroughly enjoyed this first Remus brother's mating. :) I could hardly "bear" to finish this book. :D

started 7:15p finished 8:44p
nothing like being tossed head first into the deep end of a story.....no building up anything just plop! here you go. I think there was a cross over with a Santiago character.
MC 1 Evan human he's small I think, MC 2 bear shifter... apparently I am not fond of bear shifter stories.
there was basically no description of the shifter world just I know there's hyenas because Evans sister's boyfriend is one this may tie into another series that Lynn has done I don't know I kind of have stopped reading her as she used to be one of my go-to authors. it was a quick read and honestly neither of the characters were interesting at least not to me. I just could not get into the whole story. it felt rushed and I don't think I'll be reading about the other five brothers

Love the Remus Brothers
Jackson is a fun quick read and a great start to a new series. There are quite a few great characters in this book that I can't wait to read more about. The book was well written and fast paste. My only complaint is that I wish that it was longer. I can't wait for the next book.

Good story
Good start on the Remus brothers story. Lots of excitement. Some unexpected violence. But in the end everything works out for all parties.
