Love Sacrifices and Triumphs
Jess, a wolf shifter, is hiding in plain sight. She left her pack where her father was once the alpha seeking her missing brother, Dylan Hunter, who became a challenger in pit fight run by the Dragon Twins. Zac is now the new alpha for the pack, and he wants her to come home, but she is not interested—not in him or in returning home. She has work to do. While still only a medical student, Jess has falsely represented herself to apply for the position as a doctor at the fighting pit of the Dragon Twins, Eric and Xavier who control that territory—the bars, the clubs and the people.
One of her tasks as the medic at the fighting pit is to tend the wounds of the Twins’ fighters, Jake, a wolf shifter and the reigning champion of the pit. Both wolf shifters are drawn to each other; Jake, a lone wolf, doesn’t know why she seems so familiar–Jess knows, but isn’t telling. Jake’s memory has been altered and he has little recollection of who he is or how he came to be a part of the Dragon Twin’s world. Jess needs to help Jake remember—her brother’s life may depend on it.
Lea Jade’s paranormal romance, Raging Moon: A Broken Bad Boy Shifter Romance, pull’s the reader into the shifter world, leading us to a place of love and sacrifice in conflict with powers that demean and control through money and power. But ultimately, we are left with satisfaction—the story of Jake and Jess is one of bonding and hope, and we are offered the satisfaction of the possibility of additional adventures for the pack!
Raging Moon by Lea Jade is a great read. captivating,intense,engaging and steamy shifters romance of Jake and Jess thats keeps you entertained and on edge while reading,this is the first book in the series and i cannot wait for more,well done! I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book
This is my first time in reading this author with this one being a good start to what is first one in a series. You can never encounter too many yummy bad boys with in this one he is something more. I also do delight in reading when the one is a fighter as Jake is. Getting to even get to for a minute maybe put pieces back together when you meet that someone you had lost is riveting but then when bad comes to destroy oh my! It does seem to go hand in hand. Too bad the dragons are the bad guys though haha. You are kept captive with the danger and suspense that it just eats us up with the characters doing the eating. Great beginning looking forward to the next one.
The author has brought us characters we can care about. Jake has no memories of his life before he became a fighter in The Pit. Jess remembers him from when he was Beta of her pack. She goes undercover, trying to find her brother and finds Jake. They try to get answers while also trying to stay alive. I can’t wait for this series to continue.
I found this to be an intense gritty read with almost a dark feel. It was filled with action that kept me engrossed and intrigued. The characters were well developed with personalities that kept me reading and wanting to know more about them. Jake and Jess has off the charts chemistry and the author makes sure that it comes across. The whole book from beginning to end is extremely well written and definitely entertaining.
I read a complimentary advance copy of the book; this is my voluntary and honest review.
Jake is a wolf shifter & cage fighter. He fights in the Pit, where shifters are there to fight to pay back debt owed to the dragon brothers who own & run the Pit. He’s been entranced by the doctor, Jess, since she was hired. Jess is an Omega & just happens to be from the same pack where Jake used to be Beta under the Alpha who was Jess’s father. Both of them disappeared at the same time, and Jake no longer remembers his past prior to the cage fights. She’s there trying to locate her brother who disappeared after a fight in the cage & hasn’t been seen since. Jess has wanted Jake for as long as she can remember. He thinks that there is something familiar about her, but he can’t figure out how he knows her. They eventually give in to their desires for each other. She has been trying to puzzle out why Jake isn’t healing as fast as he should after his fights, and she finally figures it out. He needs to claim a mate or he’ll lose himself completely to his wolf. With help of the twin’s older sister and one of the twins, each with their own agenda, they work to save her brother & take down the fighting ring.
The only thing I thought was missing in this story was a bit of the back story of Jess’s dad & Jake going missing. It is in the story, but I thought it could have been expanded upon. It by no means distracts from the story. The characters are all individuals with their own personalities. The plot is wonderful & has great world building. The story does have violence in it–cage fighting, a physical attack against Jess, and an attempted rape–so if any of these are an offense to you, I don’t recommend picking this up. The scenes of Jake & Jess are steamy. There’s an unexpected twist towards the end which makes you look forward to book 2. The story has a HEA & the unexpected twist is a cliffhanger.
Jake is undefeated cage fighting champion. He is wolf shifter and fights with different kind of shifters.
Jess is trying to find her brother, who went to fight and was never heard of after.
Jake doesn’t remember past, Jess on the other hand remembers him right away.
His wolf wants to claim her.
Loved this story.
Raging Moon is the first book the Broken Bad Boy Shifter series. The author introduces a world where shifters enter the cage to fight, often to the death, in order to pay off their debts. Jake is the undefeated cage fighting champion. He fights in hopes that someday he’ll pay off the huge debt he owes the dragons that run the club. The biggest problem is that he doesn’t even remember accumulating the debt or anything about his past. Jess is searching for her missing brother. Her search leads he directly to the cage matches and Jake. She decides to go undercover to try to find information. That’s when she finds Jake and their undeniable attraction to each other ignites.
I enjoyed this story and even found myself engaged in the mystery of who is the bad guy. I was rooting for Jake to regain his memory. I was rooting for Jess to find her brother. The author didn’t tie up this story with a pretty bow because it’s the beginning of the series and you something to connect into the next couple of stories. There were a couple of weak spots but I’m hoping that the author loops back around and brings those to a close in subsequent books.
I would recommend this book to anyone that likes contemporary shifter stories with an instant love story and a little cage fighting mixed in. The writing is pretty good and the story is easy to read. I think it would be an excellent weekend read if you are just looking for something fun to read.

The bastards.
I’ve honestly no idea how I ended up fighting for them. They own me. Or at least they think they do. loc 63
Jake and Jess are definitely a couple just reading you can feel the spark between the two. All around a good short story want to know more of what happened to Jake’s memory.
Captivating is the word for this book !! I couldn’t put it down and I’m so ready for the next book. Jake and Jess were amazing characters and how Lea made their characters grow throughout the book was great. Loved the whole story, background as well as the now and possible future. Jake being park of an underground paranormal fight ring (no past memory) and Jess being the ‘doctor’ to stitch and clean them up afterwards but she has an ulterior motive for being there. Dark shifters ~ violence ~ romance ~ suspense ~ twists. Highly recommend reading !!
I received this as an ARC book for my honest and voluntary review.
Absolutely loved it!! I was immediately drawn to the story from the beginning, it was both interesting and intriguing. Jess and Jake are quite the duo! The characters are compelling and really loved the interactions between the two. The story is well written, flows smoothly, and is action packed, and I highly recommend it.
SWEET DECADENT PERFECTION!!!
Deep, dark and intense! Lea not only brought the house down, she razed the entire town, leaving nothing but rubble in her wake. One non-stop, action packed, hard hitting, page flipping bombshell that keeps you riveted on a razors edge. Sparks fly as intrigue, danger and suspense ensues in epic proportions. Throw in distress and turmoil and you have the recipe for one block busting, prize winning dynamo. A spinning vortex of vexing circumstances and a bevy of daunting events thrusts this bad boy to life beautifully. Ramping all the swirling emotions into play with every color on the spectrum bouncing this bad boy right on home. Combating the trials and tribulations along with a multitude of plot twists and turns that leave you breathless craving more. The characters personalities are authentic, genuine and realistic with depth and qualities that transform and blend smoothly. The scenes are so vividly detailed and descriptive its paints a fantastic backdrop. Remarkable job Lea, thanks for sharing this bad boy with us.
