I devoured this book! This one is about Baxter Badd, and let me tell you.... he makes it seem like it is definitely worth being bad!!! Even to Evangeline aka Eva, who grew up very rich and very well behaved, once she met Bax; there was no turning back!!

Eva accidentally ends up in a place where there is an MMA fight taking place! A situation arises where she ends up in trouble and Bax ends up saving her.. even though Bax is huge and intimidating, she ends up trusting him and these two instantly hit it off! Basically this means they have all sorts of kinky sex... in all sorts of places!! Lol! These two are majorly horny, perverted and Bax is loving the fact that they are corrupting each other!!! I loved it too! There was never a dull moment between Eva and Bax!!

We also get a hilarious scene of the Badd baby being born!!! He’s the first and it’s from one of the other brothers! The scene was perfect! I love this family so much!!

Next up is the twins books! Shall be interesting considering they are rock stars!!! I honestly don’t know why this series hasn’t been more popular?! I have been enjoying this series so much!!!

"4 Bax you Sexy Beast Stars"

"You've only gotten a little taste of what I can make you feel, Evangeline. You know you're not leaving until you've gotten the full Baxter Badd experience."

Hot, hard-drinking, dirty-talking, porn-addict, illegal fighter Bax was a sexy Beast and I loved every moment being in his head. He was another great Badd Brother to add in this series.

"Well that's just ridiculous. Nobody needs that much male perfection in one family."

description

I really enjoyed this book and how hot and sweet Bax could be with the right woman.My favorite part was the differences between Bax and Evangeline and the fact that they didn't let them get in their way. That was a bonus for the book. The opposites attract, they say. That was the case here. Eva was the definition of "Good Girl" and Bax turned her into a really "Badd Girl"! Which of course she enjoyed very much.

"Wars have been fought over women as perfect as you are."

Damn you sexy and sweet Beast! That's why Eva couldn't keep her hands off of him! *Frankly I wouldn't either, so...*

description

The book was an easy and funny reading. There were some Hot, hot sexy scenes to read and re read a couple of times and every time was better and better. I loved them between the sheets and how dirty they could get. Eva found her inner porn star with Bax and he loved being her experiment sex toy.

God, she was dirty. She'd embraced the dirty talk completely, and I was in fucking Heaven. Correction: I was fucking Heaven. She was Heaven. Hearing her talk that way was...it was my undoing.

description

I lost track of time, losing myself in the wonderland of Baxter's c*ck filling me and stretching me and pleasing me over and over again.

description

They devoured each other and couldn't get enough...Bax, Eva and a secluded condo somewhere in the woods so they could scream and enjoy their kinky sex sessions...Eva had a kinky side all right...

description

"It's hot, so fuckin' hot, Eva. You're so sweet and innocent and perfect, and then you beg me to fuck you? God, babe. Legit, you're the hottest, most erotic thing in the whole goddamn universe."

Overall, I enjoyed this book as you can tell, and can't wait to get to the next Badd brother!

Twins are in order....Corin is next!

So let's start by saying when I received this book I legit squealed !!! I'm talking woke up checked my email and saw it and commenced screaming.

I want every Badd Brother even the ones that have yet to be written because what I've read so far I've loved.

Baxter is the fighter, the hot athlete and I may even just say here the one with the least amount of filter on him which is saying a lot because well the Badd Brothers they all lack filters.

Eve she couldn't be more opposite from Baxter. She's been groomed to be the ever demure lady.

Bax is just the man to bring out her wild side and show her everything she's been missing. And holy fuck does he ever.

There are some scenes in this book that I literally thought to myself Gawd dayummm!!! I felt myself looking around blushing wondering if anyone was looking over my shoulder reading what I was reading and I was completely alone while reading this book.

Eve she may come across as this stuffy high maintenance socialite born with a spoon in her mouth but let me tell you once she meets Bax she becomes this vixen.

It's been awhile since I read the last book and so while reading this one I remembered how much I l or these characters. They all appear again in this book and bring some laughs along with them.

Another great read in this series and I'm salivating for the rest of them.

This book is steamy with some Baddass sex scenes that will have you flushing all the way down to your toes.

Props to Jasinda Wilder for throwing in the fact that Bax used to play for the Calgary Stampeders which is where I happen to live. She gets extra bonus points for that. 😂

Those two stars are for Baxter.
And if I could give him more stars, I would. However, I can't because then you'd think I'd enjoyed this story... and I didn't.

The heroine, Eva (or maybe don't call her that), was terrible. I mean, I don't like Mara either (and this book didn't help), but Eva was probably the worst. Entitled, presumptious, a bit rude, weak, passive, and literally awful.

How does someone you don't even like 'whisk' you away on dates that you can complain about?
How strong are you that you allow yourself to fall back in line for money? FOR MONEY??? You're young and have your whole life ahead of you to make your own money, but why bother when you can marry the guy your dad wants you to to get that money?

There's a line where Bax actually calls her successful. At what? Being a pu$$y?

Gimme a break.

Devoured it!





Another Brother I am utterly in love with!  I want my Prince Baxter all for myself!


Nope not sharing him...okay maybe but seriously I just need him to come to life like the rest of his brothers and be mine.  I will get in the ring with anyone just like he does and fight for him.






And Evangeline is just amazing.  I love how she keeps Baxter on his toes with how prim and proper she appears to be but once they are behind closed doors together....It's scorching hot!









Loved finding out about what makes Baxter tick and let out his aggression in the ring and why Evangeline running away brings these two together.





And we can't forget that all our favorite ladies and brothers from the other books make their yummy & memorable appearances.





A Must read to add to your Badd Brother collection!





I am ready for the next Brother!





Bring it Jasinda!

Badd brothers are usually interesting, sexy and full of secrets ... but when their heart chooses true love, they do not let go of their hands. The main characters are like oil and water, but if you mix them well, they are very well complemented! The only minus in the story is talking one over the other, and at moments you get a feeling like you're in a beehive .....

Not my favourite of this series. I will agree these Badd boys are HOT..HOT..HOT .
The good times had by these two were very descriptive. But I was not impressed with Eva being so innocent. It got old real quick.. lot’s of eye rolls, but I did like her and Bax together. Both of them though they were not good enough and that was a shame. I really loved Baxter though. These Badd boys are filthy, dirty talkers and I enjoyed that.

So, this wasn't my favorite in the series so far. Did I like Baxter and Evangeline? Yes, I did. I just didn't feel that either of them were good enough to themselves. I know, you have no clue what I'm saying, so let me explain. Bax plays pro football and fights in underground MMA stuff. He comes across as a stereotypical jock...all brawn, no brains. EXCEPT Bax went to Penn State and graduated cum laude with a degree in special ed. He's not dumb. I hated that he fed the perception that people had of him. And Eva? The girl is smart and naive and hasn't experienced anything becuase she's let herself stay under her daddy's thumb as he controls almost every step she takes. She wanted to be an artist and daddy thought that was stupid so she's double majoring in art and political science, cause Daddy wants her to go into politics. When she finally breaks away from her parents and Thomas (don't get me started on him!), she finds herself a little more with the help of Bax.

I loved watching Eva grow. I hated that she went back to Connecticut and left Bax. I hate that he let her go without a fight cause he thought he wasn't good enough for her. I loved that Bax showed up and finally told her somewhat of how he feels. I hate that we didn't get any closure with Eva's dad there at the end.

Seeing the other Badd family members was great! I loved Zane in here and his honesty with Bax. I curious as to how the twins's story will play out and I can't wait for it :)

The Baxter Badd experience is how a Good Girl goes Badd...

Hot damn this book was good! Flirty, sexy, and dirty. Still not convinced? Good. Picture this:
Former football player turned MMA fighter meets prim and proper Prada from the east coast. He drops F-bombs like commas and she's never... well.. fiddle sticks. She doesn't use profanity. Yeah, that's a cocktail for disaster especially when she's brought into the fold of the Badd Brothers.

What I loved most in this particular book? Being that it's the fourth in the series, you see how protective they are of one another. When they were once split into the four winds, as they find their romantic connections there's a soothing, familial comfort... in the Badd brothers way of course.

I loved this book. I'm addicted to this series. Ms. Wilder is creating addicts all around the world. She's also making readers want to pack their bags and move to Alaska.

Want to get hooked? Here's how:

I think that this has to be my favorite book out of the whole series. It has really taken me by surprise. I love the whole good girl going bad vibe and I love that it actually has a story to go along with it instead of just random mush pushed together. I totally recommend this book and the whole series.

My favorite one since the original Eva is definitely a kick ass awesome take no shit chick. She was seriously great. The wedding scene was the BEST. Great entrance. I really enjoyed reading this and seeing Jaxon be born, here's to the next generation of Badd men. YUM!

Dang.
This was my least favorite book in the series, thus far, which is seriously disappointing because Bax's story is the one I was most looking forward to.
I think it's because a) I really have a hard time getting into the "my parents control my life even though I'm an adult" bit (I mean, seriously?) and b) I hated the ending. It was kind of abrupt, and I didn't get any of the feels which made it rather unsatisfying.

With the ending of the 3rd book I not so happily waited for the release of book 4. These Badd brother sure do know how to kick butt and make women swoon!

Bax was everything I hoped he would be. Strong and sexy but also sweet and wonderful. That's all I can say with our gibing too much away, but Bax has to be my new favorite brother!

Evangeline wasn't as prim and proper as I thought she was after starting this book. She had me laughing so hard at her smart mouth and witty remarks. She has a back bone to rival any Badd brother and I love when she stood up for her self! She get a huge awakening in this book and it was a fun ride to watch her explore.

I loved seeing all the Badd brother again in one place. With each book that this author writes it still gives me the feel of family and a beautiful connection.

The plot was very fast paced. It happened over a few days for the majority of the book but with the plot and characters it really worked well for the story. Seeing Eva because someone she always wanted to be was amazing to see. This book is HOT. If you can't handle steam, don't bother looking at this book, because it will make you want to combust.

Overall, the author did an amazing job with this plot. The duel POV really helped me connect with the characters and some of the scenes were funny with a ton of heat mixed in. I can't wait to see what's going to happen next. 4 Badd brothers down, 4 more to go! 5 stars #2OCCJD

Every time I review one of the books from these series, I cannot reiterate enough how much I love these Badd brothers. I am absolutely addicted to them. Each brother has such a unique personality and kudos to the author for making all of them so special. This is Baxter's story

Firstly it was HOT 🔥🔥🔥
Evangeline is the prim and proper daughter of a senator who just wants to escape from all the pressures of being in focus. She finds the Badd brother under unusual circumstances and there is no trying back. This story was all about her sexual awakening and how Baxter was able to fulfill all her dreams. I mean they get it on like 🔥
There is drama in the end but when Baxter comes to get her back, it was nothing short of a movie. I loved it!!!
I wish the Badd brother series never ends becoz they are just delicious. Waiting for the next one...

HOLY SHIT BALLS BATMAN! This book was so good! Almost as good as the first book with Bast and Dru!

Eva is a spoiled rich girl, whose father controls her life. He has her whole life planned out; what she goes to college for, where she goes to college, what she wears, who she's going to marry, when she's going to marry. So to say the least her life really isn't her own. Except that she is super rebellious as much as she can be. She buys racy panties and she takes art classes on the side. But she eventually decides she needs to get away from it all for a bit and runs away to Ketchikan Alaska. Home of the infamous Badd Brothers.

Here she walks into a prized fight, literally, where Baxton is fighting. When she runs from the fight she is almost raped by four guys. And guess who saves her?! Baxton! He brings her back to Badd's for a shower, drink, and a change of clothes. This is where she meets all the sexy Badd brothers and their women, Dru, Mara, and Claire (who I still can't stand -.-).

Baxton was absolutely hilarious. Some of the descriptive words he used just had me absolutely dying. He calls his brothers cock waffles. He's described Sebastian as a "tail wagging, golden retriever puppy dog eyed soppy mush basket". Lmfao. I was rolling. He is hilarious. And that just made me love him all the more.

Him and Eva come from two totally different worlds. But they just go together like peanut butter and jelly. And reading their story was so much fun. Him sullying her, as Bax put it, was so incredibly perfect. It couldn't have been written any better in my opinion.

So far my favorite Badd brothers goes like this:
Sebastian and Dru
Baxton and Evangeline
Zane and Mara
Brock and Claire

Let's see where the twins land on that list! :D

Eight gorgeously hot brothers in one little town is more than enough to make you want to book a flight to Alaska to see if they really exist! I absolutely love this series! This book is so very well written and extremely entertaining as you have all eight of these brothers and three of their women back to share some of the spotlight with brother Baxter. I loved this storyline, even though this was a bit tamer than the others, storyline wise, however there is the girl that left and had to be....well, I'll just leave that right there.

The characters are amazing and wonderfully written and quite well developed, right down to the baby...ok so it's only that there is a baby that I say that cause....well it's a baby! But yes, the brothers are all back and are still hot has fire and have each other's backs. New tot he scene is Evangeline, the beautiful, rich, smart young woman who has run away from her life of privilege and control, and has found herself not only is a sticky situation, but also in the sights of one Baxter Badd, the underground MMA fighting Badd brother! Eva is innocent (but not virginal), just inexperienced and Bax is more than willing to be her teacher, or to be experimented on. Either way is fine with him as long as Eva is in his arms and in his bed. He also knows that their time in limited as she has a "life" to return to, however he does try to convince her that she doesn't need to go back, that she just needs to do what she wants to do and not let anyone run her life, she is a grown woman. But the fates are what they are and her time with Bax is short lived as her life comes in search of her and returns he back to her doomed future.

This is a great read, funny at times, irritating at times and like Bax...you really wanted to bust ole Tommy boy in the face! I thoroughly enjoy this series and I can't wait to see what happens next and to which brother! I highly recommend this book and this series!

Wow!!! With every new book that comes from this series the hotter and dirtier they become and this is one hell of a dirty book. That I devoured, lost sleep over and I didn't want it to end. The way the story is written is just great and the way the character appear through the whole series is just what I really love about it.

Baxter and Evangeline were a match made in heaven but they met in a hell of a bad way. This book is damn full on and the sexual tension that built and was acted upon was just so hot that, I can honestly say it contained some of the hottest scenes I have read. Baxter is the bad guy that you are warned about but he is her hero, her knight in shining armour. Can he save her from the real threat. Can he save her from her Dad and what he wants for her. Can he save her from herself and her self doubt that she isn't good enough for anyone.

I can hold my hands up and say that this series is one of the best I have read and with every new addition it just gets better and better. I really can't wait to see where it goes and what happens when the year is finished and they have all done what is asked of them.  It's a great book and huge recommend from me.

Holy hot steaming mega man! ACK! I needed multiple undie changes seriously to the point of why even bother putting any back one! LOL! Baxter Badd is the hottest Badd Brother yet. From the top of his head down his rippling body don't skimp on the between the legs visual cause OMG! Then down the powerful thighs he's the whole magnificent lustful picture.

Saying this book is hot is a complete understatement it's salaciously erotic with great words and story. I was a happy lil camper when it appeared in my email and trying to read it while working out was not the best idea...exercise does not burn of sexual tension. :)

This family is every woman's wet dream come true and I for one would love if the fantasy world were real cause a trip to Alaska and Badd's Bar would be in my immediate future. I may be married, happily, but the view would be worth the trip.

Another hot trip with 8 brothers from Ketchikan Alaska full of alpha, dirty talking, opposites attract wonderful words!

There didn’t seem like too much of a story here. But, the hero, Baxter just stole the show. He was the sweetest, kindest, funniest male that would literally give you the shirt off his back. The guy had no filter whatsoever, and was built like a tank, but I laughed and swooned when he interacted with his family and girl. Evangeline was okay, but like I said Baxter was front and center with his larger than life personality. And, of course, the sex scenes were mega intense and sizzling. Baxter had so much patience with Evangeline. So he gets 10 stars for being an excellent book boyfriend! Onto Brock and Claire’s story next...

Once you go Badd...

I love this crazy bunch of way too much male perfection. They are hot AF, downright vulgar and dirty - I love them, love them ALL.

Evangeline is your typical rich girl living under daddy's thumb. Told how to behave, what to study, who to marry. She's had enough and flees to Alaska where she stumbles upon an underground fight. We've already learned in the previous books that Bax has gone from pro ball to MMA fighting, so you see where this is going. But they have about 24 hours together to not only get to know each other a little but for Bax to bring Eva's hidden side out before her father turns up and forces her to get back to the life she's known. Now the question is, will either of them just believe that a day spent together can actually change their lives?

It didn't turn out to be one of my favorites, hence the 3 stars, but I liked it. It's impossible not to like any of these books, the characters are just that amazing. I loved Eva and Bax too but while I don't mind insta-anything, it felt like their story was cut short somehow. Also, I didn't like the way Bax always degraded himself and everyone basically agreed that Eva is way too good for him anyway. Nah.

Fair warning, super steamy read!

Baxter is not a bashful man, I actually think none of the brothers are, “Baxter, you don’t need to do that. You’re missing the point of what I’m—” I stopped talking abruptly, my breath leaving me in a shocked huff, as Baxter dragged down his shorts to bare his manhood. “Oh— oh my…wow. Um… wow.” Bax likes to make sure his girl is taken care of, "he gave my backside a squeeze and winked at me. “I’ll grab you when it’s time to go. You need anything or want anything, just ask. It’s on the house.” I liked this book, and I love when the whole Badd family gets togwther because it's complete chaos.

I liked this one but it was a bit over the top and that is saying something with the books in this series. I think what I liked most was how Eva reacted to having her eyes opened while in Alaska, from Baxter, to the Badd brothers and their women, to realizing she could do what she wanted. It was nice to see Eva be so free and accepted.

This book had so much potential, but it didn't quite deliver. Eva, the prim and proper woman, and Bax, the brute, could've made for a great dynamic couple with an amazing story. But somehow it didn't work out. I don't know exactly what's bothering me, just that it feels like something is missing...
