The Real Werewives of Sawtooth Forest #1
Claimed by the Rogue Wolf
Claiming my mate is the most dangerous thing I’ll ever do.
An enemy pack has held me prisoner for years, torturing me every time I misbehave. Now they expect me to fight for them and help them take a she-wolf captive for the same treatment.
Like hell I’ll do that. This battle is my chance to pledge allegiance to a more humane pack. The plan is dangerous, but when the she-wolf my pack wants to capture turns out to be my mate, it turns into a suicide mission.
Jasmine is worth the risk.
She convinces her pack to give me a chance, and I’ve got one shot to gain my freedom and claim my mate.
But my old alpha doesn’t take no for an answer. He wants revenge and so do I. And I’ll stop at nothing to keep my mate safe.

Very cute
The Sawtooth Forest wolves are back with the Forever Home Animal Shelter. We first meet Jasmine when she experiences her first shift. She and her twin sister Jessica were skiing together at the time and didn’t realise that they were being watched by a rogue pack of wolf shifters. One of that pack was Marcus. He had been captured by them when they attacked his pack and killed everyone in it. He was wounded but taken to be used and abused as they wished. When he saw Jasmine he knew immediately that she was his fated mate and claimed her before the rest of the pack could hurt her. In the meantime Jessica had run down the mountain to their cabin and told her father that Jasmine had been caught. He immediately went to confront the pack which he had history with. He got Jasmine and Marcus away but it was obvious that things weren’t going to end there. Marcus and Jasmine decided to stay and become part of the Sawtooth pack while her father and Jessica went on to Alaska. Marcus and Jasmine have a lot to prove to everyone and this is their forever story.
This story stands on its own but it definitely helps to have read the previous Sawtooth Shifter and the Real Werewives of Alaska books. They are all good so it’s no hardship! These books are 18+ so be warned.

Not a stand alone
I want to start off by saying that I haven't read either of the previous series connected to this one so I was confused with things that were said in the first chapter.
After I got past that, I enjoyed the relationship that formed between the two main characters as they fight a rival pack. It is a fast insta-love/mate situation.
I will be reading the next book and eventually go back and pick up the previous books.
There are several typos that need fixed but nothing that throws the story off.

Jasmine goes skiing with her sister has her first change gets captured then meets her mate.
Jasmine Williams and her sister Jessica are skiing when Jasmine starts her first change into her wolf form. The two girls on the mountain are what Cade and the Montana pack have been waiting for as revenge against their father Coach Williams. They capture them planning on mating Jasmine to one of them and killing Jessica but Jess manages to call for help and Marcus one of the shifters they use as a slave states that Jasmine is his mate. They are rescued with Marcus accompanying Jasmine but her father is not happy with the idea of their mating so he arranges to have the couple stay with the Sawtooth Pack rather than rush into mating.

Great start to a new series. Jasmine is the daughter of Coach Williams and member of the Sawtooth pack. Marcus has been held captive by the Montana pack to be used for his fighting abilities. He is ordered to capture Jasmine so they can torture her the way they did him, only when he meets her, he knows that she is his mate. I enjoyed this exciting story with its unexpected twists.

"Claiming his mate is the most dangerous thing Marcus will ever do." Wow! Kristen Strassel has done it again. Absolutely loved this one. Amazing start to a series. Loved the characters, and their personalities. Really enjoyed seeing the characters from Sawtooth and Alaska Werewives again. Lots of twists and turns. Can't wait to read the next one.

Marcus and Jasmine
Jackson's father walked away from the Montana Pack run by a cruel Alpha. Because of that, when Jasmine was in the area they captured her and planned to kill her, but their slave would claimed she was his fated mate. A story of good versus evil as well as a true love story.

Combo of Real Werewives and Sawtooth – Love it!!
A wolf who has been a captive for seven years…. And a young woman in her first shift. They have dreamt of each other, but reality paves a rough road for them. A story of pack politics and a touching relationship.
Great combination story – as each previous series was highly entertaining.

Cole was so unfair to Marcus, especially when you consider his own past!!?? WTH!?
The twists were unpredicted and had me thinking wait.. what happened??? I was so happy Cole finally admitted he was wrong about Marcus and should have handled the Montana wolves himself!!! Shame!!
A miracle! What a great surprise at the end! I can't wait to go back to Alaska in the next book. Check this out!

This is the start of a new series but is also a follow on from two previous series Real werewives of Alaska and the sawtooth shifters While you would probably enjoy this series better if you have read those previous books it isn't absolutely necessary
Twin girls Jessica and Jasmine are the children of wolf shifter Coach Cole Williams and his human wife Tessa No one has any idea if they will have the ability to shift or not. Marcus has been held prisoner by a rival Montana pack they have him caged only allowing him out when they want him to fight. Jasmine does the unthinkable and has her first change on a ski slope in the sawtooth territory the Montana pack take her captive and intend to use her against her father. Only problem is that when Marcus he realises straight away she is his mate and he will allow no one top abuse her He has now found a reason to fight. Will he be able to save her will her father except him as her mate You will have to read to see

Great first story in this new series. It combines characters of two of Kristen's popular series - Real Werewives and Sawtooth Shifters.
Jasmine and her twin sister Jessica are the children of Coach Cole Williams, wolf shifter, and his human wife Tessa, producer of the Real Werewolves of Alaska series. The twins have never been sure whether or not they would ever shift into wolves or if they would remain fully human. Unfortunately, Jasmine picks a ski slope as her spot to first transition. A ski slope which is in the middle of Sawtooth territory and near where an enemy pack has taken up residence.
Marcus is a prisoner of the Montana wolf pack that has a personal grudge against Coach Williams. He is kept chained up, ready to be used for his fighting ability when the time comes to get revenge on Coach Williams and on the Sawtooth pack. Marcus can hardly believe it when he realizes that his captors have his mate surrounded and they are prepared to abuse her. He has no choice but to stand against them and protect his mate, even if her father doesn't believe they have a mate bond.
Find out what happens when Cole insists that Marcus prove himself worthy of Jasmine by settling things with the Montana pack. The Sawtooth pack agrees to give him and Jasmine jobs and places to stay - separately - while they figure out their futures. You are going to love their story.

Can I tell you a secret? 5 FATED MATES
Show me what you’ve got, wolf. She was my mate. I had to make her believe it. He was all wolf. And he was mine. When they chose a mate, it was forever. This is one helluva story complete with a Happy Furever After! Marcus and Jasmine are both intriguing characters and I was only too happy to live their story with and as them. I enjoyed the fast pace and was quite glad that the drama/intense situations didn't last any longer or I wouldn't have any nails left! Having read & loved both the Sawtooth Shifters Series & The Real Werewives of Alaska Series, I was eager to read this series! Kristen did a phenomenal job combining them into one series that gives us the Best of Both Worlds! And of course I love catching up with the Sawtooth Shifters, their Mates and their offspring!! (Although I'm not sure which couple is more adorable - Marcus & Jasmine or Harry and Lola!) Another FANTASTIC story by one of my very favorite authors!!

If I wasn't hooked b4 I am now
I couldn't wait for the return to Sawtooth Forest, Granger Falls and Forever Home. Reading about The Channings and Lowes and how they have thrived is just beautiful. I really live how you are adding to the pack with Jasmine and Marcus.
New love and newly mated. It's amazing to read how they connect on all levels and keep learning each other everyday. They both came into their own power and together they'll survive!!!
Can't wait for the next instalment. Happy writing.

Support the team
This book is the perfect merging of two series by the author. The characters are just as sweet and fantastic as always and I really enjoyed the story of young love. It’s a shame these two had to go through such a hard time just to be together, but I think they more than proved their love. I hope that Stephanie will eventually get a mate. That girl needs a break from behind the camera. No matter who finds love next, I’m sure the author will make it a memorable ride.

Good
Had a bit too much repetition. Overall the underlying story was good and I loved the whole shelter angle. The characters needed a bit more depth so you understood their motivations. A little more editing and some clean up of some of the continuity issues and you’d have a really great story. I liked it enough to go to the next one...so I’d give it a 3.5 star

Exciting shifter romance!
This series is off to a good start! I loved Marcus and Jasmine’s story. They saved each other that night on the mountain. The idea of a Werewives reality show gives such great possibilities for future plot lines and you can never go wrong with shelter animals in a story. Granger Falls may become one of my favorite shifter destinations!

Until I read some other reviews, I Didn’t realize this wasn’t a stand alone or that there were previous books related to this series so the first few chapters were rather confusing and I gave up on it.

The twin girls Jessica and Jasmine are sking when they are being watched to be attached. But Marcus saw Jasmine and claimed her before she could be killed. A world of drama will follow them.
