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 … 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?
Fall in love with the Bad Blood Shifters! Smokin’ hot shifter men with hearts of gold; the strong, passionate women who love them; secrets, lies and danger; naughty, steamy love scenes—and happily ever afters.

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!
How many people come from horrifically scarring backgrounds? How many of those can open themselves to others afterwards? To love someone is to choose to let yourself be vulnerable. Brody and Jasmine let themselves be vulnerable to each other and because of that, they have their well-deserved HEA. I can only hope to be so lucky.
I loved that this story was told from both points of view. Brody has as many problems that Jasmin does. So it helps me know where his head is at. Jasmin and Brody both think they are not good enough and Jasmine also thinks that if she is kind or nice her world will fall apart. It makes me chuckle how they (the crew) call her “Jungle Kitty” as an endearment. Jasmin is deadly and has little patience and is a joy to read. When Brody takes a chance on Jasmin his thoughts are about either getting lucky OR she is gonna rip him apart. Ha ha what choices!!
Xander is great is this one. Oh he is still all rough and bad a$$ but he is showing his humorous side now. Well…sarcastic humor is still humor right?? Flynn is also coming into his own. I love his line in here…”Why do you keep asking me questions? Fairies didn’t sprinkle the answers on me while I was walking through the woods.”
Many times I am sitting here smiling while reading this book. I love it! One of my favorite of the series!
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!
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.
