Jules & Kai's Story
Lord how Mercy where should I begin how much should I tell you????? Jessica's been building up to this book for some time now... yeah yeah I know I'm behind most of Jessica's fans on my reading order either way this was a compelling story about Jules & Kai
Kai is the one, with his sweet smile and too-big heart… He funny, interesting, talented, well- mannered...but at the same time I feel like JG made him out to be doormat for 3 long years to Jules
Jules the executive assistant slash office manager slash personal assistant slash zoo keeper… who single-handedly kept the office from catching fire most days.
I didn’t like Jules detachedness, her desire to keep everyone at a distance, her stone-cold rationality. And most of all I didn’t like or believe she had no clue that Kai was head over heels for her…
There was part of the book that I completely loved & other parts where I thought wtf was JG…. So with that said I’m torn how to rate this book
💖 Hope you enjoy this read 💖
⬇Always remember⬇
📚 Always keep in mind this is just my opinion+ Also I wouldn’t never discourage anyone from reading this book.
on to the next book, I believe Roderick (The Henchmen MC Series) is up next in the Navesink Bank Universe
Yay I’m slowly but surely making my way through this Universe
Happy Reading --- Enjoy ……. Paulette Review

This heroine had a lot of potential (for me) based on the previous books... She was organised, cool and had a perfect poker face.
But unfortunately they reduced her to a typical CR female with over-sensitive body reaction. She had a crush on him for years... Why??? 😟 What's wrong with writing a cool woman, who didn't give a ficus about a man?! Why should she always wet her panties?! And why should her ex always be a shitty guy/villain??! So cliche 🙄🙄🙄
I expected her to be stronger.
He was ok. Even sweet compared to the average male protagonist in CR, but it bugged me a bit, that he didn't try to win her over from the very beginning.
They lost time, nice epilogues though.

This book was my least favorite from this series!
I was so excited to read about Kai and it wasn't what I wanted it to be! Kai wasn't the badass hero Jessica usually writes about! He was a lost puppy running around Jules and what made her happy! For the most part of the book he was trying to help her, nothing happened!
Jules was oblivious for the most part having her lists and plans for the future and not seeing what was in front of her. She was my least favorite heroine! Too complicated and too blind in my humble opinion! In her world trying to save money and then use them to make her happy!
And suddenly she realized she wanted Kai and made her move! I know my review is a little harsh but I couldn't relate with this two, it's either that or this book rubbed me the wrong way from the first page. I mean Kai was an easygoing hero to read about but Jules not so much.
I don't want to be mean or anything because I love Jessica's writing and I've read a lot of her books and loved them but this one, not my cup of tea! And I would like for her to change the recipe of her books, because all of them have the same base and then she just develops her stories around it. I mean I liked that for the first few books but as the stories were progressing it was the same old things!

Ok before I start, I love Jessica's books and the writing was great. There was nothing wrong with it and I didn't have any issues with it. This book was just difficult for me to finish since, in all honesty, Jules does NOT deserve Kai. She's selfish and Kai was just so sweet and kind ):< He deserves someone who would give him the world.
That being said, wish there were more guys like Kai in the world ;D A girl can dream

Coming off my high of The Ghost I was slightly disappointed with this book to be honest. I loved Kai he is an awesome book boyfriend however dude, how hung up where you with Jules here? It was really sad this completely unrequited love that was going on.
I mean really can one really be that clueless to what is going on and if someone has the hots for you? I think no but then again apparently Jules can you know?
Apart from that I do really enjoy these books a lot. I really can't wait to get Miller's book she is a riot.
The journey continues.

This was the one book that I was dying to read THE most since Kai and Jules were first mentioned in The Fixer! And although I didn't like Jules in the beginning, what with all the hurt that she had inflicted on Kai, -our sweet, loving, caring and innocent Kai (whether intentionally or not, she did hurt him)- I gradually liked the way she realized it and finally, they got together and my shrunken sensitive side responded to it. It wasn't anything grand or unexpected BUT if you loved Kai in the first two (I did) then you will fall for him even more in this one (I did).
This series is a must read!
PS: This is the first series ever where I can't decide which man I love the most! Every single one of them is perfect in their own way that I don't want to compare them.

There is nothing more heart-melting than a tough guy who isn’t afraid to show his feelings. There is nothing better than another Jessica Gadziala read that once again, throws her fans a curveball as she takes us back to Navesink Bank where life is edgy at the best of times and downright deadly other times.
THE MESSENGER was a surprise read for me as Kai, one of the Fixers spends months wearing his heart on his sleeve for Jules. She was the glue that holds the office together, barely giving him the time of day, but only because Jules has rules, no dating a co-worker, period. And then she was left at the altar by a heartless monster and Kai was there to pick up the pieces and more.
Jessica Gadziala gave us a very unlikely couple on the surface, two polar opposite personalities and a series of disasters that would lead them to the dual “Pot of Gold” at the end of their story! Kai is a marshmallow, sometimes like a love struck puppy, but when push came to shove, he was the rock solid support that Jules needed!
Passion, fire, suspense, yep, it’s all in here and it's fabulous!

I bloody love this author and have read almost all the different books she’s ever released....and definitely every one within the ‘Navesink Bank’ universe....but this one is the first I really struggled with.
If it wasn’t for the fact I’ve read many of her books and that they’re usually 5 star reads for me....I’d have DNF’d it.
I struggled reading it....the ONLY saving grace is Kai.
Loved his character!!
Jules however.....
It really puts me off a book when I dislike a main character as much as I dislike her.

I got this after reading the blurb - unrequited love? Was really excited to see how it all plays out. I guess it's more of suspense in this book, rather than romance. It's a rather short book and I enjoyed how the chapters were structured! (alternated between present & flashback)
One sided love is never cool. Kai has been in love with Jules for a long time but Jules was oblivious to it. And all of sudden, she realized that Kai was the one she wanted?? Especially after her marriage turned out to be a scam. Kai's dedication was just so sweet, but unfortunately, Jules' character didn't work out for me. 3.5 stars!

3.5 - 4 stars
Kai is a sweetheart and I want his babies!!!
Just don't tell my hubs... :D
I gotta be honest that despite the fact that I loved Jules in previous books, I wasn't her biggest fan in her own story. Well, at least not for about 60% in. Because Gadziala, being the great writer that she is, managed to make me love her again right before I hit the end.
Jules is a robot. At least that's how she acts when we meet her in book 1 and have glimpses of her in book 2. She is strong, organised, slightly withdrawn and mysterious. A professional. I liked that about her. Plus, she is the glue in Quin's company, the one who keeps them all together, makes the work flow and looks after each and every member of the team. And you have to love her for that.
However, when we meet her, we see that the perfectionist she is at work... well, let's just say it's not how she feels inside. Her OCD is what makes her who she is. And I perfectly understand that as I have my own experience in the subject.
But what irked me was her plan for the future, all the boxes her partner would have to tick off the list to make her interested, a full bank account, good looks and a nice job included. And that made me look at her in a different light. Because if that's not stupid, selfish, snobbish and shallow, I dunno what is. (wow, the esses rule! lol)
Thank god, we see the change in Jules, she finally learns that this way of thinking, living is just beyond ridiculous. We see how she finally opens up to the possibility that life without love isn't just what she needs. That life without Kai, isn't one she wants. We finally see how she admits to herself that her feelings towards him are strong. And real. And despite the fact she bottled them up from the get-go, she can't do it anymore, live like that any longer.
And thank fuck for that! :)
All in all, it was a really good read. Was it my favourite in the series? Probably not, but it's still worth reading. Because the writing style doesn't disappoint, because it's slow burn and friends to lovers kinda read. Because Kai is the sweetest guy on the planet and simply because this whole series is so freaking good, you won't be able to stop.
Now off to Smith's story, aka The General. *rubbing hands with excitement!!!

Where to even begin?.
Firstly I have to give Jessica props for not making the heroine out to be a heartless monster. I think going into this story many had their not so nice opinions regarding jules and her unbelievable insensitive obliviousness to everything Kai. Hell yes to you Jessica for pointing out the facts and making shit known instead of someone being the bady/heartbreaker.
I love me a good friends to lovers romance. I'd go as far as saying they are some of my favourite. See the thing is the fundamentals are already built. You know this person and care for them. The foundation is there and with that comes a better understanding between two characters whom have history.
You've got to know Jessica was never going to do us wrong and lead us astray.
Kai sweet Kai!!. Jesus lord above why can't every man be a Kai?. So sweet I had toothache. Selfless, dependable and honest... the list of attributes this guy has are never ending. Oh and he's beautiful which of course helps. What you don't see though is the darkness that lurks. The kind that took strength and dedication to overcome but sometimes let's rip and shakes the foundations. The man got fire under all that sweet let me tell you.
Jules!!! I loved her a lot. She isn't oblivious but she also didn't encourage Kai. A complex character with so many layers you'll be digging for days and still not find her core. A women who's life is planned to precision and in control at all times. She does not stray from the plan so Kai was a curve ball of epic proportions. Under all that control is a hot mess that's just wanting to burst free.
Lord this was a SLOOOOOOOOW burn if every I read one. The kind that teases you just slightly with the promise of what's to come without being in your face obvious. Two very complex characters with lots of depth and so many layers to them. A cemented friendship with unresolved and ignored feelings. It's a hot mess in all the best ways. I loved that Kai loved Jules hard for who she was despite her not obviously reciprocating those feelings and more so not blaming her for that but understanding that it was his feelings and actions. I love jules and her quirky OCD tendencies and need for control. I loved that she loved Kai for all his sweet despite him being everything she never knew she needed.
Their story isn't easy and most definitely isn't smooth. They are equally loveable as they are infuriating and it's like that until the near end. I so appreciate the history between then and that connection and chemistry they already have. I loved watching them grow as individuals as well as together!. The story is crazy and unexpected but so fitting to them and so worth the wait.
As always the side characters are a wonderful addition to the story and never fail to amuse me with their crazy quirky shenanigans. They make you fall in love with them even before you get their story. I'm a greedy bitch and I want them ALL right now.
SIGHHHHHH. But I suppose I shall satisfy my needs with re-reads until the next one is out.

This book has everything! Jules and Kai's story was not what I expected. Actually, most of Jessica's books do not go as expected.
Kai has loved Jules from the moment he met her. Jules, felt something for him, but tucked her feelings away because she worked with him and he didn't fit into the perfect box she had envisioned for her husband.
Fast forward to Jules's wedding day, her wedding to a man named Gary, that nobody liked. Kai, being the good man that he is, attends the wedding even though it breaks his heart. As Kai and the rest of the crew wait and wait for the wedding to start, Kai learns that both Jules and Gary are not at the church.
Kai, worrying about HIS girl, rushes to find her and he does. He finds a version of Jules he had never seen and it breaks his heart.
I don't want to give anything else away, but of course Kai helps Jules deal with some crazy shit. They see new and different parts of each other and eventually Jules finally "Ovary up" and admits her feelings to herself.
This book has some action, but a lot of warm, squishy love. It shows us flashbacks of there first meetings, stolen moments and words of wisdom from friends. It has everything.
Also, her cast of characters are amazing! I don't know who I want next! Mysterious Ranger? Balls to the wall Miller? Somewhat scary Bellemy? I want them all!
Well done Jess! Well done!

A heartwarming unconventional love story.. The world needs more men like Kai. So patient and understanding and never pushes. I foresaw lots of angst and heartache for Kai and now that we finally have his book that wasn't the case. Author did a perfect job with Kai and Jules story that been years in the making in the book world.
It was a little refreshing to have a hero not be a grunting alpha (not that I don't like my alpha men). Kai has always loved Jules and knew her inside and out and just waited until she finally opened her eyes and saw that what she had been searching for had been right in front of her the whole time.

Loved it! Loved everything about it! I’ve said it in all my reviews but this series is my Favorite by JG and I can’t help but want more! This story follows Kai and Jules, both of whom we have met in previous books in the series. If you’ve read the previous books Kai being hung up on Jules is a known thing and I was so interested to see how it all played out. And what Jules really knew. Kai was perfect. He was so nice and so kind and so so bad ass too. He was an alpha without all the alpha-asshole-ness. As always we get more info on some fantastic side characters! I’m so invested in Miller, Ranger, Lincoln and WHO THE EFF IS BELLAMY?!? I love this author I love this series and I absolutely loved this book.

Like most JG fans, I'd been anticipating Kai and Jules's story for quite some time. It did not disappoint. In fact, Kai is one of my favorite JG heroes (and that's a competitive pool to choose from!) I loved Jules's mix of control freak and vulnerable hot mess. I love the way she has to learn to let others in and lean on them when needed and yet still not lose who she is or become co-dependent.
I love that Kai loved Jules so much, he was willing to do whatever made her happy, even if it meant leaving her alone to make her own (ill-advised) choices. He's not the typical pushy alpha, and yet he's still sexy and commanding. He's also sweet and selfless, and it was a refreshing change of pace for a romantic suspense.

Perfection
Lord, I've loved Kai since The Fixer. And I ached for him and his feelings for Jules. There were times I wanted to shake her for not /seeing/ him and how perfect he would be. This book...it just cemented how they just belonged together. And helped me understand Jules and why she was so willfully blind and why Kai didn't push at all. Any reservations I had about her are gone, because I hadn't really LIKED her before and had wanted Kai to find someone better, but now I get it and get her and love her. I already want to read it again. I wasn't ready for it to be done and I love them so much. #kaiandjulesforever

❤️ A new favorite by Jessica! I’ve waited for Kai and Jules. I really enjoyed this story. Kai’s been in love with Jules since the moment he saw her. Jules can’t see past her lists for a perfect man, perfect life someone who check all her boxes. Then her whole world turns on its axis, and it’s Kai to the rescue expecting nothing in return. I’ve wanted for Jules to get out of her head and see just what an amazing guy Kai is. I was not disappointed.❤️

I was a bit vary when I realized who the couple was. Mostly because the heroine did not leave me with the best impression in the first two books. Guess, there is also sympathy and antipathy with fictional characters. So, instead to read the book as soon as it was out, like usually. I waited and read some review. Now, I have finally read it and sadly I still don't like Jules very much. She was a freaking hot mess through pretty much the complete book.
I really liked Kai. He's such a great guy. I loved how very aware he was of his feelings and how he read Jules so well. Yes, sure he did not see all of her. But honestly, he understood her much better than she did herself.
To me, there never was "Puppy Love". That guy is a real man, showing how he felt the way he wanted to. Without caring that others pitied him for it. Because that's the kind of guy he was and quite honestly there was and is nothing to pity him for. There should be more heros like him. I also loved how he turned her down and did not let her use him. That was absolutely the correct choice. Had he not done that, I'm sure she would have detest him later on.
Personally, I never was a big fan of Jules. Not because she cleary was a workaholic. It's just that how she acted like she didn't realized how Kai felt, always felt "fake" to me. The flashbacks proofed me right. I know I'm in the minority regarding Jules. But for me Jules spend way too much time playing ostrich (aka burrying her head in the sand). I mean if her Ex didn't do what he did, she would have gone through with the wedding! Seriously, it boggles my mind.
Don't get me wrong, I understand being insecure. I'm often insecure as well. But she acted like it's shameful and embarassing. She didn't even gave people a chance to get to know her. Always so extremely fixated on controlling every aspect of her live. I firmly believe that it is neccessary and healthy to be honest to oneself and to own up to ones feelings. To own what one is and what one feels. It took her way too freaking long to get there. Actually it made me pity her. Which is a shame, because I guess Jessica wanted us to see her as someone that has strength.
Oh, and I hope Jule's Ex, aka the bastard, died a slow, painful and ugly death.
So this book gets three stars because of Kai and the other team members. I still feel that Kai deserved someone just as devoted to him, and I'm not sure that Jules is that. I'm sure she loves him, but is it because of him, or because he gave her everything she wanted?
Either way, I can't wait for the next book in the series.

The Messenger is Kai and Jules’ story and more of a slow burn than the majority of other books I’ve read by this author.
Kai is absolute perfection in a man. He’s not only loving, protective and considerate, but he’s just an overall wonderful man. How Jules didn’t allow her brain to see all of this the moment she first met him is still hard for me to understand. Jules is another great character with her lists and compulsions. She was blindsided and it was Kai who was there, who was always there to have her back. It was so sweet and heartwarming watching these two finally get their happy.
I enjoyed seeing Miller, Gunner, Lincoln and Quin and cannot wait to get Miller’s and Lincoln’s stories, as well as the other “Professionals” we’ve yet to get. The Messenger is another great book by this author.
RE-READ 01-03-22: Kai is such a special man! Jules lucked out the day that man laid eyes on her.

5 The Messenger Stars
The Messenger is the third instalment in the Jessica Gadziala's Professionals Series. This Series is one of my favourite by Jessica and I have to say it’s vastly becoming my favourite. The Messenger is Jules and Kai's Story. They couldn't be any more different if they tried, so their unlikely story is all the more intriguing. I'm generally not too fond of flash blacks, but I couldn't help but love they little snippets of their past. It told the story just as much.
“You are acting as though there is a choice in who you love. It doesn’t really work that way. You love who you love.”
The secondary characters where amazing and told just as much as the mains did and as always I love this. I highly recommend giving this a read.

3.5
I struggled really hard with this book. I have always loved everything I have read by JG but this one has a theme I dislike. I hate books where characters like each other but for some reason deny each other. My heart broke for poor Kai 36 months he loved this woman. He watched her with another man all the while not being sexual with anyone else. I just could not make myself like Jules. I get you don't want to ruin your job but when she felt that energy with him she should have known he felt the same way. She had two co-workers bring it to her attention. Truthfully if Gary would have not found her password she would have married him and poor Kai would have witnessed her life with him. I'm still looking forward to more books.

I absolutely love this book. It's really unbelievable easy to be addicted to Jessicas books.
Messenger is a very sweet and emotional love story ❤.
The sweet and dreamy Kai and the organized and controlled Jules are a couple that can't be more different at first sight.
In the so very slow burn romance, we witness a heartbreak 💔, breakdown 😭, betrayal, abuse and
in the end of course the true love 💖. A book about different people with all kind of addictions and flaws and the ways to accept that and be happy nevertheless.
A book that leaves You with a smile on your face and a warm feeling in your heart 😍
with a perfect HEA

Good, but the flashbacks kinda ruined it for me. I'd be cruising along, just getting into the story and come to a screeching halt at a flashback. Way too many of them, and I honestly feel like it made it harder for me to connect with the characters.
