I was a Sixty-Eight Whiskey—a combat medic. So when I hear someone shout “MEDIC!” training just kicks in. It’s automatic, immediate. I don’t think I even saw the guy whose leg I tended to, not really. All I saw was him. Zane Badd. His tuxedo fit him like he’d been sewn into it, and his eyes reflected the fury and the hardness of a combat veteran, but when he looked at me, he just…softened. By the time I had his brother patched, Zane and I were both covered in blood, and I knew I had to have him.
The trouble with Zane isn’t getting him, it’s keeping him.
And the trouble with me is, even if I could hold onto a man like Zane, I wouldn’t know what to do with him. It’s not in my nature, and if life has taught me anything, it’s to not trust anyone, least of all men like Zane. He’s a warrior through and through, hard, muscular, gorgeous, tenacious, and yet oddly tender toward me.
Experience and instincts are telling me to run from Zane Badd as fast as possible, but my heart and my body are telling me to stay, to hold on and not let go. Yeah, it’s a conflict as old as humanity itself, but it’s brand new for me.

Life as Navy SEAL doesn’t exactly prepare you for normality. Yeah, I can tend bar and goof off with my seven crazy brothers, but what do I do when the woman of my dreams—dreams I didn’t know I’d had until I saw her—explodes into my life like a frag grenade? I’m trained to attack, to win, to survive at any costs, and figuring out what to do about a woman like Amarantha Quinn will take every scrap of tenacity and courage I possess. Combat is easy, it turns out, in comparison to facing your own fears and scars.
And then sometimes, just when you think you’ve got it finally figured out, fate throws you a screwball and sends everything FUBAR.
Stephanie’s 4 Star Review:
I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review.
Zane Badd isn’t looking for love. Shoot he heckled his older brother Sebastian in Badd Motherf*cker
Amarantha Quinn (Mara) is surprising her friend with a visit when she hears someone yell “Medic!” Old habits are hard to break so she goes running. Helping the Badd’s out during their party in the street she comes face to face with Zane Badd while helping his brother be able to get to the hospital for stitches.
While these two – Zane and Mara – have absolutely zero interest in long term relationships they figure the week Mara’s in town they’ll make the most out of hanging with each other. Their hot and heavy relationship steams up the town as they spend every moment they can together. It would seem from an outsiders position these two make the perfect couple.
The author – Jasinda Wilder – has written another great story where the characters seemingly have the daunting task of figuring out how real romantic relationships work. She makes it all seem easy as she unveils the storyline that flows so well on the pages. Badd A$$ didn’t take long for me to read. It’s a quick flowing story and will hold your attention all the way through. I don’t think you will be disappointed with this book at all.
