Maisy's sister Jasmine was young and wild. Maisy did the best she could for her, but that wasn't enough for Jasmine. She wanted fame and fortune. Maisy couldn't convince her there was no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Jasmine knew she was going to find what she was looking for. She was young and reckless.

When Jasmine didn't come home and didn't check in Maisy knew something was wrong. The only way to find her sister was to get close to the people Jasmine knew. That meant waiting tables at a strip bar.

Stud knew Maisy was his the first minute he saw her. Convincing her of that was the next step.

Razor was leader of the wolves and determined to take over the town. Stud's town. Stud was just as determined not to let it happen. Jasmine was caught in the middle. Could Stud convince Maisy that they belonged together and save her sister while defending his town?

Saving Jasmine is the first book in the Satan's Bears series, and we are quickly thrown into the story. Maisy is twenty-four years old and responsible for her younger sister, Jasmine. Maisy is the one on the straight and narrow, and Jasmine, the wild child. However, Maisy will work in a biker bar to get information on where her sister is. Stud in the leader of the bikers, and quickly claims Maisy for his own.

This was a very rough and ready story, almost raw in its execution. Although you get some information about the various groups, you don't get a lot, and that did leave me feeling like I had missed out. I found the characters to be rather weak and one-dimensional, especially Stud. However, Maisy seemed happy with him, so I guess that's something.

This was a fast-paced story, so be prepared. If you are looking for a 'down-and-dirty' read, then this book may be just what you are looking for.

I thought this was a good start to a series. The author’s take an shifter society was a bit unique in the fact of whether humans knew or not. At least I haven’t seen it put this way. I also liked the types of shifters mentioned. Maisy and Stud were a good match. The most intriguing character for me was Nan. I’d like to know more about her. I do think the next book might be a little darker if it’s Jasmine’s story. Curious to see who the adversary will be or will it be a fighting oneself story. You get a bit of the history throughout the book rather than a bunch at once which is perfect fit for the characters. As you get deeper into it you discover more. Overall I would recommend this book for an enjoyable read that looks to be leading to so much more.
