Reeve
I had long since given up hope of the pursuit of genuine happiness. It wasn’t possible after all the sh*t I had been through. I had my siblings, my club, a purpose in life. It was enough.
Until I came across her.
She represented everything that I knew I couldn’t have - stability, a future, a way out of my past.
And, it seemed, the harder I tried to keep her at a distance, to protect her from my reality, she only got in deeper, only pulled me closer.
Then, one night, an old face popped up in Navesink Bank. And everything changed forever.
Rey
I liked my life. I liked the freedom and simplicity of it, even if it was, perhaps, a little lonely.
Then one night, there he was.
With the saddest eyes I had ever seen.
He represented everything my life didn’t need - chaos, violence, uncertainty. But, at the same time, everything it was lacking - companionship, connection.
He tried to fight it, to keep up his guards, to keep me at arm’s length.
But, well, fate had other plans.
That was the night everything changed.
Down an alley, facing down a new, yet familiar, big bad in Navesink Bank, forcing us together, making us confront the reality of what was happening between us.
Trapped together, waiting for the winds to blow over, he finally trusted me enough to let me in, to give us a shot, to invite me into his family.
That is, if all of us survived the upcoming storm…

ღ Reeve & Rey story… He is like the night, all gloomy & such, she is like the daylight, sunshine & she’ll make you laugh out loud even if you don’t want to
Reeve, demons that had been haunting him for years. oh what a story he has to tell. Get your box of Kleenex ready for this one Ladies!
Rey, she was the light, funny & very entertaining with all her animals. Lord she stole my heart from the moment we met her! You’ll love her unique personality & her unique way of doing things
You can definitely feel another war coming soon, I just hope & pray it doesn’t end like the last one did!
Idk if it was just me, but lord have mercy once I heard Reeve’s story Ms Gadziala somewhat lost me… I know what Reeve experience was life-changing but Lord how Mercy almost a decade later he is still having trouble getting past that traumatic time in his life
Don’t get me started how the author just left us hanging in the wind at the end!!!!!!!!!Then there was the epilogue , I’m not say any more I’ll let you make your own judgement… but holy hell there one part of the epilogue where the author was already trying to sell you the next generation of Henchmen
I'm not saying that this book was completely bad I just feel like I waited so long to read it and then to be somewhat disappointed

Reeve is chaos personified, his life has been one tumultuous tidal wave after another. Then he meets Rey, an island of calm and a beacon of light for his dark world. He is acid, she is the balm that soothes. He knows violence, she rescues helpless animals. He is hooked, no matter how hard he tries to fight it. I mean come on, he does all the gentlemanly things for Rey that an outsider could never associate with a hardened Henchman. (Yes, I noticed, just like Rey!) He even helps rescue kittens!
When the poison of his world touches Rey, Reeve knows he will do anything to make her safe and the club is behind him one hundred and fifty percent. So, yes, once again, Jessica Gadziala turned me into something all starry-eyed and squishy… but this time, maybe even worse.
REEVE is another crowning achievement for Ms. Gadziala who knows how to scorch each page with tension, be it sensual, or brutal or even just teasingly adorable! Yes, adorable, that is the kind of chemistry between Reeve and Rey! I’m not sure I have witnessed a more perfect match that made me smile so much! Their passion is off the charts in pure “pass me the ice water,” “Gadziala” style! I cannot praise this author’s talent enough for riveting reading, larger-than-life characters with a keen sense of loyalty and rapid-fire action that pulls no punches.
I received a complimentary ARC edition from Jessica Gadziala! This is my voluntary review.

Amazing heroine. She won me over with her unconditional love for the animals.
I even wasn't mad she never wore a bra!
Animals, especially rescue ones, is my soft spot. I respect people, who care and help.
The hero was ok. I felt sorry for him. But he doubted himself and their relationship with the h a bit too much.
Overall there was much action non-related with MCs, chapters from villain's POV, long and touching explanation of H's past - all good and interesting, but the romance between MCs was cut short. IMO.
Nice epilogues though. Many many epilogues!
Curious about H's sister. Badass woman, my kind of a b*tch 😎

Okay, i am known to NOT be the fan of MC world in books, and yet look at me, I'm reading about them, again...cause well, there's smth different about the Henchmen bunch or is it Jessica Gadziala's writing...heck, if I can tell for certain, but whatever it is, it's in my favor, duh?!
And I loved it.
Revee. The broody Henchman.
Rey. The quirky sunshine animal lover and good doer.
She was not his type. He didnt have a type.
Until he did. Until she was.
His past was gut- wrenchingly sad. He was broken.
She made his present fixable and their future possible.
She mended him. .
Did I say I loved it? Fuckin A.

This instalment wasn’t one of my favourites out of the series but it could be because I have been extremely distracted in my life right now. On Father’s Day my Dad was airlifted to another town’s hospital fighting for his life. I drove six hours to be with him and am staying in a hotel for the past four days going back and forth to the hospital. My life is on hold right now but I wouldn’t have it any other way. So again, I have been very much distracted. I do really enjoy this series and am still eager to keep on going.

There were parts of this I loved and parts that just didn’t work for me. Overall I really liked it because I love this author’s writing and I truly adored Rey.
Reeve’s inner demons and what was causing his inner turmoil is what didn’t work for me. I get that it was tragic, I do. But it had been at least 10 years. 10 years is a long time to still be grieving that bad. It didn’t even seem like his relationship was super deep yet he was still grieving to the point that he almost pushed the h away. That doesn’t work for me in a romance. I didn’t necessarily feel like the h was second best but even after they were together for years he would still grieve every year near the anniversary of her death and get cold and distant. Is that fair to his wife? I don’t know, it just bugged me.
The other thing that kept this from being 5 Stars is the fact that when his wife got pregnant even though they tried very hard to not let that happen, she was actually afraid to tell him thinking he would go back into his darkness. She was so nervous to tell him that he figured it out because she was actually showing. Again I get that the trauma from the past was bad but this was now like 14-15 years later. So to me it felt like his wife was still taking a backseat to his past. A woman and her child that he was only with for like a year. It just didn’t make sense to me. Anyways Rey was a saint for putting up with it.
I loved everything else about Reeve. He was a good man but this whole thing tainted his character for me. And of course there is an epilogue that’s great because Ms. Gadziala knows how to write a good one but I don’t know if they ever got married for sure. I just assumed they did. This has always been very apparent in the other books.

We finally get his story. I understand the darkness, the moodiness and the shadows now.
Rey was like a breathe of fresh air to him. Her unconditional love and her weird collection of animals.
Another good read.

I love to visit Navesink Bank, I love the Henchmen and I love ladies who climb under trucks in the snow to rescue Kittens! Yes, this h is a huge animal rescuer and Reeve is so supportive I was so totally hooked, plus it helps that Rey knew what she was doing for the kitten, so valuable kitten rescue info is shared.
Reeve is an excellent H, but then most of JG's are. Rey was the best h since Janey and I loved their story and all the build up to their forever love and the ongoing saga of the Henchman was excellent too.
JG does the almost impossible, eleven books and a lot of spinoffs and she still gives us a great love story while keeping the world building strong and ever expanding. This is another one for the keeper shelf and a great read when you want a really happy HEA.

Some author gushing to start this review off....
. I read ALOT! Not for any other reason that that I love it. It's my escape from reality and something that saved me from my own kind of broken a long time ago. When I genuinely connect to a story it means something to me. Especially when it makes me feel something deep. Jessica just broke me with this story. I fell so completely in love with Reeve and Ray as characters. the way it's written... my gosh it just hit me like a tonne of bricks. When someone has the capacity to draw that level of emotion out of you through a book.. yes, that's when you realise that author is your fictional unicorn. I just totally appreciate how much she puts in to her books. #fangirlingandshit.
It's not your typical romance with all the hearts and flowers. MC books are known to be a ruff ride however these book are more than that, Jessica doesn't tip toe around horrific tragedies and heartbreaking loss. But she write them with conviction, giving you the absolute heart break and brokenness. Refusing to hide the pain .. you get it ALL. The ride is never easy but dammit it means something. They fight to get their happiness and you believe in their journey. You connect to their characters and relate to their struggle. It shows you the magic of humanity.. the beautiful and the fucking ugly. It's journey of self healing and self discovery. It's hitting rock bottom and fighting to get back up.
Reeve, a beautiful broken man. He hurt my heart but I loved him hard. I don't know what I expected from his story but this certainly wasn't it. I'm not going to give anything away but just know that he was just everything and more.
Ray, sweet Ray. The purest kind of sweet, the silent kind of strong. She was a freaking angel if ever I've read one. Vulnerable yet made of steel she was the best kind of contradiction. She is the perfect example of why we shouldn't judge a book by its cover. she had so many layers... so much character I could have easily read another book on her. She fascinated me to no end and I kept being surprised by her. I related to her personality, I adored her crazy huge heart. I know she'll be one of my favourite heroines of this year.. I just know it.
This book took me on a heartbreakingly beautiful rollercoaster. It sucked me in and spat me out rung dry and emotionally exhausted. I cried over the loss, I cried over the love ... I cried ALOT!. But I also loved so freaking hard and laughed until my stomach hurt. I adore this dysfunctional bunch of looneys and all their crazy antics so freaking much!!. It's woven together seemlessly. Written to perfection with so much emotion.
I think their my favourite couple! I know it's a huge statement but there is just something about them that hit home for me making me feel it it here❤️!.
That epilogue!!!. The possibilities.... so freaking excited. Gahhhhh.
INEEDMORE!!!!.
... my brain is broken right now... half this probably doesn't make a lick of sense because I'm all kinds of jumbled. I'll probably revisit to add to this but for now I'll leave it here.

THIS is what I've been waiting for.. Now what the “this” is, well sorry cant say. But HOLY MOLY. Yes yes yes...
Now to Reeve and Rey... What can I say. They were perfect for each other – but that's not to say that HEA came easy.. Reeve had to put to rest some major demons that had been haunting him for years. And they were some heavy buggers – made your heart ache for him.. Rey was hoot – her love for animals rivals the authors I think. Makes it feel so much more personal when the author puts a bit of herself in the book. Rey was the perfect calm to Reeve's storm.
There is sooooo much that happens in this book that of course cant be talked about but fans of the series are going be both shocked and excited for more....

Jessica I have been searching for a book with a connection and you have delivered. It’s so well written and it sucks you into the story. The chemistry between Reeve and Rey is pure perfection. This is definitely one of my favorites.
The lunch meat cracks me up after Adler. It
Still makes me laugh with just the mention of it.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started Reeve. When we have seen Reeve in past books he was always the silent one, not saying much, but always standing strong.
Reeve meets Rey one winter night while she is trying to rescue a kitten, and the rest they say is history.
No Henchmen book would be complete without a bit of drama and a former nemesis starts causing trouble for them again forcing Rey to move into the compound for a while. While at the compound Rey integrates herself with several of the brothers and we finally find out what has been troubling Reeve, and oh what a story he has to tell. I rarely cry while reading books, but Jessica had tears streaming down my face while reading about Reeve’s past.
This is another 5 star read for me. Jessica didn’t disappoint and I think I have a new favorite Henchmen.

Ahh....Reeve. I have always been so curious/worried about the demon's he seems to hide. His story is heart wrenching. When I reached that part I was in tears for Reeve. Jessica really went above and beyond to deliver a beautifully written book . Reeve and Rey have a beautiful journey together. They are quite perfect for each other. The best is the ending. I love it!!! It is beautiful. Thank you Jessica ❤❤❤Reeve❤❤❤

I knew Jessica Gadziala would destroy me with Reeve's book but I had no idea how devastating his past would be until reading his story. This story was just as heartbreaking as we knew it would be but it was equally uplifting seeing the spark between Reeve and Rey. I felt Reeve's pain but also felt hopeful everytime he interacted with Rey as their banter, chemistry and connection came right off the page. This was an amazing story. 4 stars! ~Ratula

Well... this was a rather disjointed strange sort of book. Won't be reading another by this author or about MCs in general.

4.5 happy stars.
Started this awesome book last night, finished it this morning!
I honestly woke up thinking two thoughts, coffee and Reeve (admittedly in that order, but, it was a very close call!) I couldn't wait to dive back in and enjoyed every word, cover to cover.
Next please Jessica!

Can I give more then 5 stars???⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I think like most Henchman fans I've been waiting to know Reeve's story since the moment the puppies were introduced. Now after hearing it my heart is broken for this man and I will admit I cried....... hard. 😭
Reeve is an amazing man and I think Rey is the perfect girl to help heal his broken soul.
Rey is not what I expected but exactly what our world needed. She's the sweet animal loving hippie girl who knows how to make everyone love her by just being her. Learning all about her Babcia was an awesome bonus.
The Epilogue was just hands down such a tease and so fulfilling at the same time. I don't think JG can write a bad book and I need a kitten named Ford, maybe a tortise.

Nope, nope, nope. Did not like Reeve. Really did not like Rey. Reeve felt overly consumed by something that happened a decade ago. I know that may make me a cold bitch, but its how I feel. Rey was way to doormatty, flighty and annoying for me. She had her good points, but just not my kind of heroine.
I love this author and this series so it gets 2.5 stars. For all the other stuff going on....

Amazing
Jessica has yet to disappoint. Her writing is beautiful and she captures the heart of readers every time. I have yet to find an author who can write book after book and manage to keep getting better.
Reeve knocked me off of my feet and had me running for the tissues. He is as raw as they come, and Rey is the lighting force he never knew he needed. You are in for a wild ride and I feel lucky to have found Jessica’s work. Kudos girl, you amaze me with every book.

Sweet read
Sweet heart wrenching read. Reeve went through so much. Cy was an awesome brother.
Rey was so interesting and quirky.
I got all jumbled with the R names: Rey Reeve Reese Ronan. Arghhh I really got Reeve and Reese confused....I know the blond hair in my head...shut up!
Great installment to the series

DISCLAIMER TO MY FELLOW GOODREADER
This review is my personal opinion and may contain: spoilers, quotes, rants and swearing.
Mireya “Rey” lives her life full of color. She dabbles in a little of this and that. One of her passions is animals, which is evident by the hoard she keeps at her house. Some of them she rehabs until they can be placed and some she keeps for herself. Because why not. One night while trying to save a kitten from dying in a snow storm, she comes across a man. She is a lifer of Navesink Bank so she knows he is a Henchmen. Instead of running away, she was drawn in by his sad eyes. Not to fix him, but hear his story.
“This wasn’t personal. Whatever it was that kept making him walk away, it had nothing to do with me. It was something inside him, something he was holding onto, something he believed about himself, or believed he didn’t deserve to have.”
“It seemed like his life had been a lot of hard. I wanted to be a soft place for him to land.”
Reeve Harris has been living in black and white for nearly a decade. He has deep emotional scars that his brother and sister cannot reach. He goes through the motions of life - taking care of himself, finding a woman to share his bed and fixing things around the Henchmen properties. It is not until he finds a woman under his truck that he starts to see color.
“In a fucking hole. That was where I lived my life for years. Just getting by. Hell, not really even that. A dead man walking was more like it. What I has now, well, this was a hell of a lot more than I thought I could ever have.”
I mean you cannot really share thoughts about this latest installment without some spoilers. I will do my best to refrain. I honestly forget about a certain villain. I mean it has been a lot of books and years in the fictional universe of Navesink Bank since this person has reigned. I think my reaction was something like, “oh fuck.” Cannot wait for the drama to unfold. I am thinking Roan may be next. Just a feeling.
Cliffhanger – no (book #11 of series)
POV - Reeve, Rey & Marco

God I loved this one! There was just something about this book that just pulled me in.
The connection that Rey and reeve have is amazing. They are two people you can see being together. Ever since reeve was patched into the henchmen series I have been wanting to know this quiet man. This is his story and it’s deeply heartbreaking and sad.
My mind and emotions were all over the place when reeve finally decided to share his pasts that still haunts him. These demons will never go away, you just have to learn to deal with them. It’s a part of you.
One thing I loved was that Rey was just a simple, amazing women and she is just the kind reeve needs after all he has been through. Rey was adorable with all her animals. It’s was like a mini pet zoo in her house.
It was great to see all the characters back again. We didn’t get to see all of them. Lockdown occurs. There is club drama that rattles the club to its core. There is definitely going to be a war coming soon but that’s a story to be told another day.
The loved watching the journey of these two people falling in love. For a person who didn’t want to go through the having a women and caring for her business again. You could of fooled me reeve.
Overall fantastic book! Cannot wait to see whats next. I am secretly hoping Cyrus and reeve sister wasp gets a book. That no filter, feisty girl needs a book Jessica. You hear me! Just kidding babe! Or am I!

Rey and Reeve
I love that Jessica writes the female leads as strong women, but who still have hearts. Rey is this way in this book. She has some quirky ways that make her quite endearing. She has a strong sense of self. She knows who she is and she isn't changing. Reeve cannot help to fall for her.
This has some drama and suspense. And some hints as to what might be coming in future books in the series.
I gave this 5 stars because I could not put it down. I loved this story from beginning to end. I think you will too

not the most exciting MC book I've read. Not the worst book in this month either.

It just doesn't get old. After 11 books in the series and several spinoffs my interest is still going strong. I fell in love with the heroine Rey in the very first chapter. I knew I would love Reeve no matter what because well, he's one of JG's Henchmen and there isn't one single character that she has ever created that I don't fall in love with. If you are a fan of romance and have not read anything by JG I don't know what you are waiting for. I am just so very grateful that this author consistently puts out high star reads that I can devour and loose myself in! Well done!
