Bonnie never thought she’d survive the night. She was supposed to be nothing more than a warning—a message delivered to a man she’d never met.
But Sully, the easy-going, Hawaiian-shirt-wearing, good-time-chasing biker wasn’t about to let her die.
Bonnie finds herself in a world she never knew existed outside of her books—one where rough men are unexpectedly kind, where she’s protected instead of forgotten, and where Sully’s patient hands and quiet strength make her feel seen and cherished for the first time in her life.
But danger hasn’t forgotten them. And as the threats close in, Sully will have to fight to keep the woman he never saw coming—the one who’s changing his world just as much as he’s changing hers.

Jessica Gadziala is a USA Today bestselling author who lives in rural New Jersey with her parrots, dogs, and an ever-growing collection of houseplants. A lifelong dreamer, she’s been writing stories since childhood and published her first book in 2015. When not at her desk, she’s usually feeding backyard birds, rewatching crime dramas, period pieces, and 90s supernatural TV shows, or adding to her towering stacks of unread books.
Sully is just a real special soul. He's a much loved and very anticipated character, which must be a nightmare for an author. However, Sully exceeded any and all thoughts. He just was everything and them some, and Jessie wrote him spectacularly.
Sully is the playful girls guy. He's a ladies man sure and he has his fun, yes. But he's also the one who looks after the girls and the guys. Who causes mayhem with his mischief. Who makes you laugh till your belly hurts. Who makes you feel safe. My guy was just the perfect hero.
Bonnie is so sweet. A total introvert who much prefers dogs and hobbies over friends and socialising and girlfriend I felt that hard. She, despite being a worrier, actually didn't overreact or jump to assumptions. She was real level headed and sweet and all-around enjoyable to read.
They could not be anymore perfect. I could gush on and on about how sweet they were from colouring in tattoos to craft dates and orgasm Olympics. Oh, and book club😏. I just truly loved them.
I love this crazy family and everything they've become. The side characters give plentyful personality and endless laughter. They also have me curious and wanting. But never do I feel like im missing something. I adore seeing older faces and new. I love the dynamics of them and the never-ending stream of crazy each one meeting their other half brings. There truly is never a dull moment.
This is the 13th book in this series, and I'll never ever have enough of all these incredibly interesting characters. I love every book in this action-packed, exciting and captivating series.
I think I can speak for all readers of this series when I say that we have all been waiting for Sully's book. Who wouldn't want to hear the love story of the series' entertainer? He is the funny, party-loving biker in the club, constantly thinking up ways to entertain his MC biker brothers. He is good with women, but all these women are just for fun. What is hidden beneath the party-man persona?
Bonnie is Sully's opposite, always alone, quiet, and cautious, always at home alone. No friends, no family. She feels most comfortable with dogs and in bookstores. Why is she like this? You'll have to read this incredibly exciting book to find out.
Have I told you how much I love Jessica Gadziala's books lately? 😉😂 She is one of the best romance authors in the world. ❤️😘
“Coming in here strapped with a bomb is a Henchmen meet-cute, if I ever saw one."
The fun carefree Sully was everything I expected and more! Poor, lonely Bonnie was thrown into a whole new world, but who knew it was the best thing that could happen to her. Everything about this story gave me the feels. The chemistry was 🔥 HOT 🔥 and what you hope for with a man who is so "experienced." The Henchman all have great stories and swim into your soul. Bring in the next!
I've always wondered about fun-loving, Hawaiian shirt wearing Sully's story. And I finally got it! And it is probably my favorite of the Henchmen MC series so far. It just seems to be next level. I can't say enough good things about it.
One of my easiest five-star ratings in a long time.
Hawaiian shirts, dogs, crafts, and bombs what more do you need to make a great book. One kick ass lady to round out the team. Loved this book. So glad Sully finally met his match!
We have all been patiently waiting to see who Sully's woman would be. I could not have picked anyone better for him than Bonnie...other than me 🤣 As always, impeccably written, amazing storyline and hints at who might be next...can't wait!!
I knew I would love Sully and I was not disappointed! This book started off wild and Callow said it best…
“Coming in here strapped with a bomb is a Henchmen meet-cute, if I ever saw one.”
Jessica Gadziala has a way of creating calm chaos. The balance between action and love is always balance. In this case the calm and chaos were Bonnie and Sully. She was definitely a shy introvert and him the rowdy biker with Hawaiian shirts but the balanced each other out perfectly!
A meet cute is when two people meet for the first time, typically under unusual, humorous, or cute circumstances, and go on to form a future romantic couple. All of Jessica's seem to fall under the unusual and boy was this one volatile.
Someone is out to kill Sully or Bonnie or maybe both. Lots of edge of your seat action in between a sweet romance blooming between Sully and Bonnie. As always an enjoyable read from start to finish.
I have loved Sully for a long while now, and knew his HEA was going to be amazing!! I truly had no idea what to expect for his perfect match, but Bonnie was *it*!!
Book Name/Series: Sully (Henchmen MC – Next Generation 13) Author: Jessica Gadziala Standalone?: Can be read as a standalone, but includes characters from other books.
4 Stars
My Opinion: This was a very sweet but fast-paced book with enough action and suspense thrown in to keep things interesting. I loved both the main characters and how, despite being opposites in many ways personality wise, they fit so well together. I do wish we had gotten some more background on Bonnie though. I also felt like the “climax” towards the end was a little rushed and I would have liked to know why the bad guy did what he did in the end.
Hero: 5/5. Sully was the definition of a golden retriever, and I loved how he treated Bonnie. He was so sweet and patient with her and he was also so supportive of her reading and crafts, as well as being willing to do them with her. However, he had also previously served in the military and had experienced some difficult things that made his outlook on life even more noteworthy. Heroine: 5/5. Bonnie was a very relatable character for me with her anxiety and shy personality and I liked her a lot. She worked as a pet groomer, and she didn’t really have anyone other than her boss as she had gone no contact with her family. I do wish we had gotten a little more background on her though.
POV: 1st person POV (Sully and Bonnie).
Push/Pull:
Sadness: 0/5.
Explicit Sex and Spice Level: Yes. 2/5.
OW (Other Woman)/OM (Other Man) Drama: No.
Separation:
Cheating: No.
Closure/Ending: HEA. As usual with Jessica Gadziala’s books there’s a really satisfying epilogue.
Genre & Tropes : romance biker x suspense plot x shy & anxious heroine x ex military hero x Golden Retriever hero x forced proximity x spicy
ENFIN le tome avec Suuuulllyyyyyy
C'était probablement l'un des tomes que j'anticipais le plus (avec celui de Luna que j'ADORAIS avoir !!) !!
Sully est un personnage que j'ai adoré découvrir au fil des autres tomes et j'étais hyper curieuse d'en apprendre plus sur lui et surtout de voir avec qui il allait terminer ... Et j'ai absolument adoré le voir courtiser (les margaritas à minuit, le chien, et la soirée travaux manuels <3) la très timide et anxieuse Bonnie qui était tellement adorable et normale par rapport aux autres héroïnes ... Et j'ai beaucoup aimé ce contraste !
L'intrigue était sympa (même si j'aurais voulu plus de rebondissements et de développement) !
Bref, une romance de bikers sexy et romantique que j'ai dévoré !
PS : je veux tellement le tome avec Vi maintenant ><
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
FINALLY the book with Suuuulllyyyyyy
This was probably one of the volumes I was most looking forward to (along with the Luna one, which I'd LOVED to have !!) !!
Sully is a character I loved discovering throughout the other books, and I was super curious to learn more about him, especially to see who he would end up with ... And I absolutely loved seeing him court (the midnight margaritas, the dog, and the arts and crafts party <3) the very shy and anxious Bonnie, who was so adorable and normal compared to the other heroines ... And I really liked this contrast !
The plot was fun (even though I would have liked more twists and turns) !
In short, a sexy and romantic biker romance that I devoured !
Jessica Gadziala's SULLY was a BLAST from the very beginning! I love Sully and Bonnie, Bonnie is a introvert and the exact opposite of Sully.
Sully is trying to figure out exactly why someone would want to hurt him through her and it takes Sully going back through his past, piece by piece with Fallon from the beginning as well.
This book has Bonnie spending a lot of time with the Princesses, especially when Sully is trying to come up with a name, and the princesses are so much fun! They take Bonnie to Halestorm and introduce her to Janie and anyone else that can show her the self defense ropes while getting rip roaring drunk. There's a lot of talk about Vi coming back, and when her parents might actually bug out to go get her as she's been gone so long.
Nave and Perish are the two big side characters here, and as Bonnie says "his parents actually named him that?" regarding Perish. I'm hoping this means he'll be talking to JG soon enough to get his own story, because I HAVE to know his obsession with yards - not just his, but all of his friends as well!
When Sully finally figures out the big "WHY" I never saw that twist coming, seriously. Sully is such a nice, funny guy, that was not where I thought it was going to go. Kudos to JG to an excellent twist and bend in the story, and a gorgeous epilogue. Seriously, I've not had that much fun with an epilogue in quite some time, and I love that she managed to tie the very beginning of the book back to the end - excellent job to you if you catch that Easter egg!!
Sully and Bonnie are a sweet couple and I cannot WAIT to see who's coming next, she gave us so many hints in this book it could be ANYONE!!
*I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review *
I have been waiting for Sully’s story for a while and it was certainly worth it! The story consumed my attention from the first to last word and I literally couldn’t put my kindle down – I devoured it. Great plot, more than likable, full-dimensional characters and enough action and mystery that kept me wondering who was behind everything. Sully and Bonnie meet with a bang – almost in a literal sense, as Bonnie is kidnapped out of her workplace (a dog grooming shop), is strapped with a bomb and is thrown in the Henchmen MC clubhouse with a message to Sully. Someone is after him. The why and how, or how Bonnie gets in the mix is something that unfolds gradually and I loved that I couldn’t put the pieces together too fast – even if I suspected a few things. I can’t begin to describe how much I loved Sully – and Bonnie. I had a feeling that his light attitude and positive stance in life were hiding some inter turmoil and suffering – but they weren’t fake. Sully, having suffered trauma, embraced life to the fullest. And I loved him for it. Bonnie up until Sully has chosen to live a simple, isolated life, due to her anxiety issues. They helped one another come to terms with their troubles and rise anew. I loved their journey to self-discovery and acceptance – amidst the danger and the threats they faced, their romance was one of the sweetest stories in the series and I loved every word. 5 stars are not enough for this in my opinion.
What a way to meet. Definitely not a “meet-cute” more like…”meet-panic attack”.
I think anticipating this book and what the love story would be was different for me than for most Henchmen or second-gen Henchmen books. Sully was always chasing fun and that’s about all we knew about him. What was hiding underneath the Hawaiian shirts was hinted at but still a mystery on specifics. I’m not sure about anyone else, but being married to an ex-military man, I get very eye-rollie when I read about military backgrounds that are far fetched. (Yet I can suspend reality for space pirates or vampires, don’t question my crazy) There was just enough of Sully’s past to be relatable and deserving of how he handles that past by drowning it in fun. No eye rolling needed. Plus we once you know why, seeing him live life to the fullest makes sense and less juvenile.
Bonnie is a girls-club diet drink, she has enough caffeine/gumption buried under all the anxiety and shy to fit right in but not so cool you look at your own reality and think how you’ll never be an assassin or professional poker player yourself. I liked Bonnie.
Even with the excitement that the MC brings to the table in romance, and how Henchmen always seem to find true love in the face of shoot out or explosions, this story was cute. Once you get past the meet-panic attack anyway.
Sully is book #13 in the Henchmen MC Next Generation series by Jessica Gadziala.
I have loved Sully’s character in the previous books and was excited to finally get his story. He’s such a fun and sweet man. He’s all about having a good time and making those around him feel the same. We learn more about Sully’s past and get a little insight into why he’s the way he is and wants to live life to it fullest.
Bonnie is a sweetheart. She’s shy and introverted and not used to having any friends. Sully instantly makes her feel safe and gradually introduces her to the princesses of the MC. It was heartwarming watching Bonnie become more sure of herself and become friends with the girls and feel welcome.
There are a number of the MC secondary characters that were present throughout this story (Nave, Rune, Croft) all of which I like and am looking forward to getting their books soon. Some of the princesses still need their stories too.
Another good book from Jessica Gadziala, who is one of my favorite authors.
It's always fun to see who some of the sillier playboys end up with. This MFC is super shy with lots of anxiety,
“I figured it wasn’t the time to remind him that my instincts often couldn’t tell the difference between being chased by a bloodthirsty beast and having to make a phone call.”
And if the reader couldn't relate to that, this was sure to enamour us with her,
“But I’d accepted long ago that my fantasy life was always going to be richer than my reality.”
This MMC has been lovable all through the series, but he had my heart completely with how understanding and accepting he is of her anxiety,
“And that slice of hurt in her eyes didn’t leave much to the imagination. She’d dated some shitty guys in the past. Likely ones who used her anxiety against her. Or laughed it off. Or gave her even more shit to stress about.”
And this line sums up the Henchmen stories perfectly,
“Coming in here strapped with a bomb is a Henchmen meet-cute, if I ever saw one.”
In my humble opinion, there is no way to go wrong with the Henchmen! Jessica always brings an awesome and original story and Sully’s was no different. We have loved watching his laid-back, fun-loving attitude in the next gen books, and it was awesome to see that focused on Bonnie and helping her find something it was clear to him she had never experienced. He did that while also trying to figure out who hurt her and wanted to hurt him and while keeping her safe. The story of who was trying to hurt them was a mystery and the action, both steamy and otherwise, was exciting. It was awesome watching Bonnie find her home and family with Sully and the Henchmen and watching Sully find his happily ever after.
Sully is as fun and entertaining as I hoped he would be. Him and Bonnie are So cute together. I love seeing a playboy get knocked down and find real happiness.
This story starts off almost with a bang. Literally. Bonnie gets kidnapped and walked into the compound with a bomb strapped in her. Specifically with a message for Sully. Talk about a way to meet! The rest of the story was just a fantastic as the beginning. I love the mystery and suspense. But with Sully, it was also really funny and entertaining. I adored this story. This is one of those books where you really wish you could read it for the first time all over again. I liked it that much.
Oh, I love this story!! Sully has been a goofy bright spot in this series, and getting to know him even more was so much fun! Bonnie is the perfect woman for his zaniness, because she needed someone so full of life.
They're steamy and sweet, bold and shy, and they bring out the best in each other. Of course their relationship starts with a bit of danger... and later, lots of crafts! 😄 Plus, puppies! 🩷
This book made Sully show so many sides to his personality. He was carefree, friendly and capable. It was still obvious he could be dangerous, lethal and secretive. Lets focus on his drool worthy physical hotness. There were good indicators he would have a special Woman; sweet, timid, smart and had a love for animals. Befriending the MC family and all other affiliates made for good reading. I think you'll like this as much as I did.
I am a huge OG fan and love following the next gen. Sully did not disappoint! Jessica always delivers a solid story line with incredible character development. Just like all her works of art it is like you are there! Great story and spice a perfect read! Loved the Hailstorm showing up and yep our main man from the beginning! This is a must read!!
I love Sully and his Hawaiian shirts! I knew his story would have a traumatic one. He was just rabid about having fun. Then we meet Bonnie when she shows up at the clubhouse with a bomb strapped to her. A mysterious man had kidnapped her, strapped on the bomb and said it was a message for Sully. Then the hunt begins and the romance gets underway as Bonnie stays with Sully at the clubhouse! Not easy for such an introvert!
I really enjoyed this book. It was so much fun. Sully is fun and I love how he treats the women in the club and others that he likes. I especially like his understanding of Bonnie's anxiety issues and how he brings her into the fold. I'm so glad that Bonnie pushed forward and let Sully "help" her and start to come into her own.
Yup can never go wrong reading this series. Sully has always been the fun guy of the MC. A little different with his approach to life but when a timid scared woman catches his attention in a very scary way he finds himself seeing things such as a HEA like his brothers in his future. But not giving up the fun just bringing his Bonnie into all of it.
I really enjoyed Sully and Bonnie. I thought Sully would have more darkness underneath but it was more alluding to it than anything else. I appreciated Bonnie's introversion and anxiety and how well Sully was able to help her find balance.
Even after a tough military life Sully is still the perfect gentleman. After Bonnie appears in the clubhouse with a message for him he does everything in his power to help and protect her. He really is the perfect boyfriend. I loved reading how Sully and Bonnie feel in love.
An excellent read. I absolutely loved Sully and Bonnie’s story ❤️❤️❤️ A definite page turner and very entertaining. 100% recommend this book to everyone ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ you will not be disappointed 😎🖤
There are no words to describe how much I love this book. It took me back to falling in love with my husband and why I fell in love with him. Thank you so much for this.
