By day, Jasmin Wildacre is an out-of-work chef who spends half her time cooking for her crew, and the other half trying to keep them from killing each other. But by night, she’s the Demon Queen of the Amazon, the star attraction of an illegal cage fighting club. Making her opponents submit, fight after fight, is the only thing that keeps her jaguar from going postal--until the White Tornado walks into her life...
Brody Jameson has too many secrets, and all of them cost money to keep hidden. Cage fighting is the only way he can keep himself afloat, and only as long as he stays undefeated. But when all his winnings are stolen, he has to team up with the Demon Queen to get them back.
It doesn’t take Brody long to find his demon’s softer side, and to fall head over heels for the sexy jaguar. But where Jasmin comes from, the soft are weak, and the weak get crushed. Can Brody’s love pierce the armor around Jasmin’s heart before it’s too late? Or will all his secrets come crashing down around him, and destroy them both?

I'm still loving this series. I loved Jasmin who manages to be tough and a kickass heroine, but still has a little vulnerability. I loved Brody with his issues too. And I still absolutely adore the entire Bad Blood Crew. The writing flows well and contains enough snarky humour to make it stand out from other shifter books. Sure, there's a good plot and plenty of steam, but what really makes the book special is the interaction between the characters. It made me laugh and gave me the warm fuzzies at the same time. Off to read book 3.
I love this series. The characters, both male and female, are hard core bad a$$. The storylines are wonderful and engaging. There is nothing about this series to criticize. If you are a fan of hot shifters and action packed stories, with passionate plots thrown in, you will love this series.
Jasmin didn't believe in love, it made you weak. Her jaguar was never going to submit. Brody found himself drawn to Jasmin but she was so far out of his league or so he thought. Fast paced story, plenty of action and romance.
I read a lot of shifter books, but this series has a special place. I freaking LOVE the Bad Blood shifters! Bloody psychotic all of them, still a little broken, but loyal to the last to each other.
I've had bad luck with shifter romances lately. None of them really satisfied me like Sunzanne Wright's Phoenix and Mercury pack series. But I decided to give this series a try.
I was actually surprised by how much I enjoyed the first book and how quickly I devoured this second one, and I've just finished the third one.
If you enjoy shifter romances with some crazy shifters, humor and good plots I would recommend you try this series.
—— I'll leave you with a paragraph from this book that had me seriously laughing, freaking Xander. I can't wait to tackle his book next.
His wolf sight was sharp, even in the dark, and he could see that the place was covered in Christmas decorations.
The only ones still lit up were a row of three wire deer covered in white lights, hanging by their hind feet from the fat limb of an oak tree with their heads down, like hunters’ kills.
From their necks fell strings of red lights that pooled on the ground. It looked like someone had shot three of Santa’s reindeer and left the bloody carcasses to drain. With festive lights. He didn’t know whether to laugh, or get back in his car and drive the hell away. The Bad Bloods really were fucking crazy.
I downloaded Bad Blood Wolf as a free book from Amazon. I wasn't expecting more than a quick, free paranormal read, but I have to say, I really enjoyed the characters and quiry relationships much more than I anticipated. Yeah, there are some cliches and tropes, but the writer did a great job developing the protagonists (and secondary characters, too, come to think of it). The story wasn't terrific, but the Bad Blood crew carried the story.
Cats and dogs don't mix but sometimes they might just save one another.
As a member of the Bad Blood Crew Jasmine was tortured in Alexander Grants illegal shifter test lab. She was broken before the lab but her jaguar is even more unstable now. Even with the territory and Crew bound her jaguar still needed more fighting. Jasmine found a way to get her needs meet in illegal cage fighting with the Nashville wolves pack. She was a champion in the ring and made her opponents submit by tapping out. It helped her jaguar stay in check. Until she started checking out another fighter the white tornado Brody. He was a lean,mean fighting machine. They had not meet in the ring yet but the both had eyes for each other. A wolf bully through the two of them together more. When Brody tried to even the odds when the bully and his minions jump her after the fights. But all that happened was both of them lost there winnings. Brody had a secret and needed that money. Jasmine felt bad because he was trying to help her so she decides to help him get his money back. The more time they spend together the deeper their feelings grow. Brody wouldn't tell Flynn or Jasmine his secret. He has a dangerous , wild and blood hunger killer monster white wolf in him. But soon his secrets come out and they can't be hidden anymore. The truth about the monster white wolf and his mother all come out. Shifter hunters are on the prowl again and its up to the Bad Blood Crew to take them down. Jasmine can't hide anymore that Brody is her true mate. Even with all her fear she listens to her heart and submits. This storyline gets better and better with each book
Jasmin Wildacre a Jaguar Shifter is the Demon Queen of the Amazon, a sexy star attraction of a cage fighting club. Not knocking them out, which she could easily do, but by making her opponents, all wolves, submit to her, it's the only thing that keeps her jaguar from going postal. She has lived a life of hell which her Jaguar clan helped along by being all macho on their women and then she was tortured. She has sworn to never submit to a man and she certainly doesn't believe in mates, Jags don't do mates.
Brody Jameson a Wolf Shifter has many secrets, and all of them cost money to keep hidden. White Thunder keeps the money coming in to keep those secrets secret. Until the day he doesn't win.
One of Brody secrets is that he has the hots for the Demon Queen, that kitty makes his wolf growl and it doesn't take him long to find the demon’s softer side, although in doing so he may die a happy man. Can Brody’s love make a dent around Jasmin’s heart before all hell comes crashing down around them, and destroys them both? Will Jasmine finally let go of all the hate and let love in before that happens?
Lots of anger, blood, lust and love, and some magic. I love Ms Wilde's interpretation of these shifters' lives, can't wait to read the rest of this Bad Blood Shifter series.
So So good! Book two of the Bad Blood shifters is even better than the first! Jasmine is a very bad sassy mean fighter jaguar. She is also a bit broken, both from living in a dysfunctional family and then enduring horrifying treatment and torture from shifter hunters, namely Alexander grant. When she sees wolf Brody while participating in cage fights she is intrigued. Like her Brody is damaged but he's so much more. Brody has certainly noticed the queen of the Amazon Jasmine too! He helps her out when some nasty losers jump her after a fight. The losers take off with all the money Jasmine and Brody won and now Jasmine is determined to make them pay. The chemistry and sexy loving between Jasmine and Brody is hot, but so is the softness each brings out in the other. As usual when the Bad Blood gang of shifters are involved things get crazy and out of control. This book is filled with heartache and self discovery and that awesome feeling that being part of a group of people who care about one another can bring. It's a fun book full of action and interesting twists and turns.
This is the second book in the 'Bad Blood Shifter' series. I'm a fan of shifter series and this series so far has not disappointed. This is a quick read with great characters. I felt the author has done a wonderful job with character building. I enjoy the relationship these shifters ha with each other. I would recommend reading this series in order, though I have figured out this is a spin-off from another series. I felt because the author did such a great job with the writing it was easy to jump in with this series. This is Jasmin's story, out of all the original bad bloods she is the only female in the group. She is a strong character that I enjoyed reading from the first book. I was happy to read her story and happy with the hero and was given. I felt the completed each other emotional and physically. I loved the comedy in this story, I had a few laugh out loud moments that startled my family. If you enjoy shifter story's with great action, comedy, and sexy scenes this is a great read for you!
It's no secret that I am a huge fan of Anastasia's work. I have requested all her books for ARC and enjoyed them all. But this one is the cream of the crop! This book jumped right into the story, grabbed my attention and didn't let go. I was so into this story that I forewent sleep to finish it. We've met Jasmine in past books as the only woman in the Bad Blood crew and learning more about her as a woman was incredibly fascinating. Then to meet Brody, a reluctant member of the Nashville pack, with his own secrets and inner demons made this story such an intricate web of mystery. This is a very well-written and compelling story. I really loved every second of reading it. Anyone new to Anastasia's work should start at the beginning just to get to this one. I requested this as an ARC for an honest review.
WOW! I have to say this is amazing! This is a fantastic series the stories will bring a smile to your face. The characters are awesome and their chemistry burns up the pages. It has the humor I have come to expect which have me laughing out loud. Also, the story line with this couple is outstanding. It's full of emotions and feisty heroines with handsome heroes. I also loved the heat. The author did a fantastic job of building up the sexual tension, teasing readers with it as much as she did her characters. The encounters had all the sensuality that is expected from bear shifters, as well as the desire, brute strength and uncontrollable lust.I can tell you that you will enjoy this story. If nothing else every page will keep you on the edge of your seat until the end. This is definitely a five stars
Jasmin is know as the Demon Queen of the Amazon, a fighter in an illegal fight club. She is a jaguar shifter and an out of work chef. Her and her pack mates were held and experimented on before they all escaped and made up the Bad Blood Shifters. Brody is a wolf shifter with many secrets. He does the cage fighting for one of his secrets. That’s where he meets Jasmin, he believes she is out of his league until she comes to his rescue. They team up to get their winnings back and the chemistry between them is out of this world. Jasmin refuses to submit to anyone but to help bring Brody back, she might just have to. When they are both taken, can the pack get to them in time? I loved this story. Action. Sex. Funny pack mates. Two people damaged but still able to find love.
* Read as part of the Wild Shifter Christmas Bundle *
What a great read. I just didn’t see where this was going, so it was a wonderful feeling turning each page. This is a fairly new author for me but I am enjoying her books immensely. We met this bunch of damaged shifters in the Silverlake series. This is book 2 and I have to say it was so interesting. This crew have had unspeakable horrors done the them but Jasmin also has childhood trauma on top of that. Brody is something else again and a perfect fit for the Bad Bloods. Loved how he knew his way around a kitchen, great knife skills and as Jasmine was a chef before being captured, I think the Bad Bloods are going to be eating very well in future. When a book can make me laugh out loud, that is an author I will keep reading.
This KU library selection is Jasmin's story. She has returned to the underground fights to help keep her cat under control. But she's jumped in the parking lot after her fight by a group of wolf shifters after her winnings and Brody,the White Tornado, comes to her aid. In the scuffle, both their winnings are taken and Jasmine quickly realizes the loss is especially devastating to Brody. She comes up with a plan to reclaim his money, all the while wondering why he needs it so badly. Drugs? Gambling? She doesn't understand her attraction to him, or her need to help the wolf whose own pack calls a traitor. But whatever it is, like it or not, Jasmin is in his corner.
*Note- As I said in the previous review- these books need to be read in order and since this is a spin-off of the "Silverlake Enforcers", they should be read first for ultimate enjoyment.
Jazz having been previously locked up, tortured, and escaped- along with the rest of her Bad Blood Crew- has a ton of emotional baggage she's trying to reconcile with. Then wolf Brody- with his own ton of personal baggage- insinuates himself into her life and befriends her crew too. Together they end up unstoppable against a faction of the bad guys out to capture and experiment on shifters, with the help of the rest of their crew and a couple of previous friends. Thoroughly enjoyable. Can't wait for the next books.
Brody is a half wolf/psychic white wolf shifter with anger issue. Jasmin is a jaguar shifter with anger issue also. They are both cage fighters for their anger issues. They also have a lot of emotional baggage. Will they resolve some of these issues to become mates?
The characters are intriguing, emotional, and sexy. The plot is the fast pace d emotional drama with a surprising twist. I like this book because it is about shifters, bad blood , and a different kind of pack.
The reader will be so in tree that they would want to get the rest of the books of the series. Highly recommended.
This is book 2 of the Bad Blood Crew. They are a bunch of wounded shifters that have been tortued and experimented on by humans. They have banded together building a weird life together. 4 different felines and a bear. Book one has the bear finding a mate.
This book is about a jaguar and a wolf. Both have been hurt and have secrets. The wolf is from another pack. Jaz and Brody fight in illegal shifter cage fights. Sex happens and love sneaks in. Can they make it together with all of their baggage? Will the Bad Blood Crew accept him. Wolves have mate bonds but jaguars don't. I got really emotional reading this book. Enjoy.
I loved this one... I cried like a baby... just a warning... but I've been interested in jasmine's story since she was introduced in tiger's mate.... she's a bad ass jaguar shifter who cooks.. what's not to love? Brody just wants to take care of his mom in secret so no one hurts her and to do that.. he has to win cage fights... when some bully wolves take it from him and take jasmine's too.. they team up to get it back... the intimate scenes between these too are explosive and super hot... and I would definitely recommend this one for a read.
Now the series is getting better! Jasmin is seriously and unabashedly the toughest shifter in her crew. She is fearless and violent and I loved everything about her. Brody is deep, he's got secrets, but still comes across as honest. Their chemistry is off the charts hot and simmers through this whole book. Xander is my favorite broken shifter. What he does to the reindeer is hilarious and his willingness to kill things is refreshingly honest and also his solution to every problem. This book was fun and exciting to read, can hardly wait for the next book!
This was such an engaging story that drew me into its plot and slowly revealed the motives behind the need for Jasmin and Brody to put their bodies through such brutal abuse every week. With both characters constantly waiting for the evil in their past to catch up with them and destroy their future and the nagging realization that the sizzling attraction between them could be more than they were prepared for, there was more than enough going on in this narrative to hold the reader's interest and make this a very difficult book to put down. I Loved It!!!!!
Jasmin is a leopard shifter who's a deadly fighter in cage matches. Brody is a wolf shifter known as the White Tornado. Brody has a thing for Jasmin but she doesn't know it. Jasmin is jumped after a fight by four wolves and Brody jumps in to help her. They win the fight but lose their winnings. Jasmin goes to the wolves bar looking for the guys that jumped them and they play pool for the stolen money. They win and he kisses her, then leaves. After a whole lot of up and downs, they get their HEA.
Two shifters (Jasmine & Brody) who are both in taters become more
Ms Wilde has a way of searching for the true souls of her characters. This book brings two tortured people who appear to trust no one together by their need and desire to literally fight for their lives. Her writing of characters is so insightful. I wish I could delve into the knowledge that she brings in understanding what each character wants and needs. Not everyone is perfect. However in her books there is someone for everyone. Their perfect mate.
Jaz is still having issues after being caged, beaten and experimented on by crazy scientists. Fighting helps her deal and she wins. That's where she gets to know Tornado, he's a fighter too. But Bastian, a cowardly wolf, doesn't like either of them and tries to take Jaz's winnings when she's leaving. Fortunately Tornado sees what's happening and tries to help. But Bastian doesn't fight fair, he's got friends with him. They need to get their money back and get some revenge. What will happen next?
OMG. Ms Wilde just kept the action coming - the twists, the turns, the unexpected… I just didn’t get anything else done, because I could not walk away. Jasmin and Brody are such an interesting couple. And I know I’ll be repeating “diced” comments for quite some time. Each characters personality really appears and makes the story compelling and you want to know them. Such a great read. And yes, I am binging the whole series … who needs to sleep.
Two lost souls that not only need each other but also The Bad Blood Crew. Brody and Jasmin have secrets, are in 💘, and need each other. It was great 👍 to have a story concerning Jasmin. The plot is solid, the characters are developing and learning about each other, and The Crew is growing. A reader just has to love Christmas with this Crew! Thanks for an interesting story.
This book was a great read. I love the development of the characters Jasmine and Brody. I F'n LOVE FLYNN so much I am tempted to just go ahead and jump to the last book in the series!! But I am forcing myself to be patient. This book had a lot of humor, a lot of action and it just kept me turning Page after page after page after page until I got to the end. I highly recommend this book!
This is part of a series, that is connected to other series, but it can be enjoyed all by itself. Despite all the issues, or maybe because of their issues, these characters are entertaining and funny. There is mystery, suspense, action, shifters of various kinds, and romance. The hero and heroine are well developed characters and the rest of the Bad Blood Crew really make the story come to life. The author does an awesome job making crazy so appealing!
Bad Blood clan is made up of wonderful misfits who are totally loyal to each other. While they have their individual quirks, each clan member has redeeming qualities that are endearing and wonderfully crazy. This is a character driven series that made me sometimes laugh and sometimes cry, but always root for the members of the Bad Blood Clan to find their HEA.
