Your wedding day is supposed to be the happiest day of your life, right? That’s what they say, at least. I went into that day hoping I’d get the happiest day of my life. What I got? The worst. I mean, you really can’t get any worse of a day without someone actually dying. So…I may have gotten just a little drunk, and maybe just a tad impetuous… And landed myself in a dive bar somewhere in … dive bar somewhere in Alaska, alone, still in my wedding dress, half-wasted and heart-broken.

Eight brothers, one bar.
Sounds like the beginning to a bad joke, yeah?
I kinda think so.
Wanna hear another joke? A girl walks into a bar, soaking wet and wearing a wedding dress.
I knew I shouldn’t have touched her. She was hammered, for one thing, and heartbroken for another. I’ve chased enough tail to know better. That kinda thing only leads to clinginess, and a clingy female is the last thing on this earth I need.
I got a bar needs running, and only me to run it–at least until my seven wayward brothers decide to show their asses up…
Then this chick walks in, fine as hell, wearing a soaked wedding dress that leaves little enough to the imagination–and I’ve got a hell of an imagination.
I knew I shouldn’t have touched her. Not so much as a finger, not even innocently.
But I did.

A runaway bride meets a bad boy in Alaska. This was such a fun read with lots of heat, and I enjoyed watching the hero and heroine fall in love.
WOW…give me a BADD Brother!
What an incredible read! I fell for Dru and Sebastian as well as all of the Badd brothers. A series you’ll never want to end.
Best start in the Badd-Clan and for me best ever. Every time I think of it, I get a little smile on myself.
Update:
11 months and a total of 11 books later – the statement stands, as if chiseled in stone – the best start of a series of 11 great books and all are so wonderful BADD.
My rating for the last book stands for the first one and also for all in between (of course a bit adapted ):
What a start to the series – just as great, touching, captivating, funny and stunning, stirring emotional and indescribably beautiful and steaming hot as the last part – indescribable, irresistibly insanely great!
It’s a real shame that it’s only 8 BADD brothers and 3 BADD cousins, but in total it is the best 11 Badd’s guy in series and we have the chance to read everything again and again.
If possible so it would be a star shower for the series including these part.
Holy Crap!!!!! Why am I just hearing about this series? I completely devoured this book and read it in a few hours. I was sucked in from the very beginning and couldn’t put it down. I was drawn to Dru from the start. She was such a strong, no-nonsense kick ass, straight-forward, take-no-shit, heroin. I f***ing loved her. She held her own with Sebastian and the Badd Brothers. Sebastian was amazing. He was this Alpha male with a don’t give a shit attitude on the surface but man I fell in love with him. He held so much in for so long never realizing how much his brothers appreciated everything he did for them.
This story started with a heart-break, but a heart-break that was necessary in order to set the events that were destined to occur. Dru and Sebastian were destined to meet regardless of the circumstances that drew them to one another. Dru was meant to be a part of the live of the Badd Brothers and set them straight.
This book was more than a love story. It was about loss, survival and sacrifices. It was about nontraditional families becoming families; about letting go of pain, anger and facing your fears head on. I am so excited that this is an 8 book series and each Badd Brother will have their own story because I need more Badd in my life.
As it typical Jasinda style, so hot, so intense, so good!
What kind of a jerk does that? Who just jumps in a plane without knowing where they are going?
When things go Badd, sometimes they end great!
Who can you always count on to write strong story lines with strong characters and lots of drama? Well Jasinda Wilder of course! Great start to this series!
Love the start of this series and am looking forward to reading the remaining stories!
I am always really happy to see a main character that makes decisions, doesn’t linger about, whining. I am also a big Fan of the author.
I didn’t read this book but got it on audible and let me say it was great. I hope this whole series is on audible . I would say this is a must read if you want a hot,funny and touching story..
A runaway bride ends up stranded in Alaska where she meets the oldest Badd brother. The characters are believable and interesting. At times it is laugh out loud funny, at others you want to punch someone. This is the first book in the Badd Brothers series.
First book my this author and I am already ordering book two. Great great great read. Love love Dru. She’s funny, independent and a no nonsense girl. Bast is a sexy, common bar owner with 7 BROTHERS. Fast pace and full of excitement and drama. You will instantly fall in love with these two characters.
I voluntarily reviewed this free book.
She ended up with the best loving family, somethings just work themselves out.
Hot, hot ,hot! And funny. And hot. And emotional. And hot. And did I mention H.O.T? Love this series chuck full of HOT men finding their matches with all the complexity and turmoil of family and relationships balanced by humor and all the toe curling extras you would expect from Jasinda Wilder
Love every book from this series!
LOVE the Badd books!!!! MORE PLEASE!!
A bride on the run ends up in Alaska, She walks into a bar and her life will never be the same. A betrayed bride, a bartender and his seven brothers who return to Alaska for the brother they left behind. Explicit sex.
I had to come back to this one ; after reading book two and thinking long and hard about it. I have dropped my original rating by on star and here is why.
There were entire chapters devoted to the sex scenes that would have been better spent on character development. I read a lot of erotic so the sex in and of itself wasn’t the problem. It was the lack of “getting to know” the H/h. There was plenty of character descriptions for the other brothers that I felt could have been spent on the H/h. All in all worth the read.
A H that is pretty Alpha and a h that can literally kick ass. Secondary characters are very promising for the future books and it will be very interesting to see show it all plays out.
It’s a wonderful read and funny I look forward to reading more of this series:) this book kinda reminds me a bit of dirty sexy saint which I also loved
The book is just…. Wow!
I loved the characters and their world.. I have read all the books in the series and let me tell you!!! I was amazing!!! You really need this series in your bookshelf! It was funny extremely hot and i was wishing to be able to meet the characters so i could take some of the magic…
I also want to say that i was extremely jealous of the female characters…
The conclusions is yours to make!
Honestly folks, if you like to read books with THE four letter word as the most frequent word on each and every page, AND the sex goes on for multiple pages, well beyond anything remotely possible, then have at it. Oh, and there are eight ADULT brothers who fight for the fun of it, breaking each others noses and causing other damage. There was a predictable story line and by the time I got to the end I was SO glad I had gotten it for free. It tells me the other stories in her Badd boy series will be equally mostly about fights, extreme sex and that four letter word she seems not to be able to make a substitute. VERY shallow writing to say the least.
I loved this story! I felt sorry for Dru right away. All I could think is….what scum! And everyone knew..so sad. Well I love her determination and her fighting skills! She rebounded better than anyone could have hoped for. Then we meet that broody sexy bar owner. He was amazing to her. Then..you know TO her. He has some changes coming to his life..more than just Dru.
I absolutely loved meeting this family! I can only imagine the future stories of these brothers. That ending…whit Michael…WOW! I never saw that coming. She is so lucky she moved on!
Overall I am excited for this series and am looking forward to Zane’s story with that little sneak peek.
I did listen to this on audio. Both narrators did a wonderful job and they sounded just like the characters
