Golden Glades Henchmen MC #6
Donovan
There were secrets hidden in the years between when he ran illegal street races and when he’d joined the MC.
But Donovan figured enough time had passed that they weren’t going to come back to haunt him.
Until he was riding alone on a backroad one night, and those old ghosts showed back up, ready to exact revenge.
But then there she was.
His savior.
A shy, sweet bookworm with a garden gnome collecting problem.
He never suspected a thing.
But she was a woman with her own secrets. Ones that threatened to tear them apart, even as Donovan’s old enemies closed in…

As always, I really had no idea what to expect when it came to Donovan and Maeve’s story…… JG’S book are always on One click
Donovan had grown up in the street racing world. Him and his racing buddies always been obsessed with their cars. And all the ways they could soup them up, make them run real sweet. But when that career path no longer served him, and it was time to pick something else, a biker just made a certain sort of sense for him………
But I must say in between car racing and the Mc Donovan had done some odd jobs with both the Italian Mafia and the Russian Bravia………. So now Donovan’s past came back to bite him in the ass
Triss & Maeve were sister that were like night and day , Triss With the wild spirit heart, And Maeve with the Practical side……..
Both worked from home…they lived on a really rural street occupied by mostly older people who went to bed with the sunset. So a lot of times, idiot kids would race their cars down the street, knowing they would get the race over with and be gone before the elderly people managed to get out of bed and call the police. So honestly, they didn’t think anything of it when they heard a motorcycle speeding by until it was too late
JG gave us a great storyline, although this book seemed bit lighter than usual, Lol, We will learn more about that website that someone has been posting so much about the Golden Glades Henchmen MC ……. I am hoping for Alaric’s story soon ! However, anyone who knows me, knows it doesn’t really matter who it is I’ll still be ready to jump right into their story! Thank you, JG, for another great read

3,5 stars, would love a book about Triss though... I think she rocks. Feisty outgoing heroines are more my type than the shy ones...

I love this book and this series and Jessica's writing style.
What I also love is an exciting and gripping MC romance, like this one.
This book is Donovan's and Meave's love story.
An outlaw biker and a nerdy, shy girl.
I know what you think, but no.
This book is definitely not a cliche romance.
It's exciting, action-packed, and full of sarcastic humor.
He's not one of the alpha grumpy heroes.
He's a nice guy, with a not so legal job 😉
He had a wild and exciting life, bevor joining the Henchmen.
Not that life in a biker club is boring, but partying has lost its appeal after some time.
She's a writer with a lot of potential, but even more insecurities.
She's strong and loving and selfless when it's comes to her loved ones.
But shy and nervous about her own personality.
Two people who are very different, but in reality, are made for each other.
His strengths are what she needs to fight her self-inflicted weaknesses. Her strengths are what he absolutely searches for without realizing it.
This book is a sweet, swoony, and romantic fast-paced romance, with a lot of action and dramatic events.

4.4 stars.
I really liked this one.
I’m not as in love with Maeve’s sister Triss as everyone else seems to be, though. She just seemed a little bit selfish and a lot reckless. Not in a malicious way, she still clearly loved her sister and wanted the best for her, but it still put a lot of strain on Maeve in a lot of ways. 🤷🏻♀️ I just felt like that really contributed to Maeve’s overall demeanor, and maybe if she hadn’t felt like she needed to be the voice of reason so much of the time, that she wouldn’t have been so afraid to step out of her comfort zone.
Also. Donovan and Maeve’s relationship was kind of just meh for me. Not that it wasn’t good, I liked how everything ended up. I just feel like something was missing in the developmental phase. A certain conversation, or an act, I can’t put my finger on it exactly. I just know something wasn’t there that I needed to bump my opinion of it up from ‘like’ to ‘love’.
Anyway.
Still glad I read it.
I did enjoy it, plus I felt connected to Maeve in a lot of ways.

Leave it to Jessica Gadziala to give me a read that I didn’t know I needed! I loved everything about Donovan and Maeve’s relationship. The ups and downs, the secrets, acceptance… everything!
I wasn’t really interested in Donovan, to be honest; he was simply another brother in the MC however, after getting to know him, I fell in love! Maeve was so sweet, and the term opposites attract was definitely made for these two. There were many ways I saw this story going, so when the “bad” guy was exposed, I was completely shocked! JG gave us a great storyline, although this book seemed lighter, it was a great addition to the series I wonder who’s next🤔 I would love for Alaric to find his HEA because I am honestly starting to worry about him😬. However, it doesn’t matter who it is I’ll still be ready to dive into their story!

Amazing book! Loved it.
No one writes a better epilogue than JG.
All the little hints and ideas for new characters and their stories. Can’t wait to see what is next.

The past comes back to haunt Donovan but it leads to something he never thought he'd find, his forever woman.
Wonderful love story between two characters that really shouldn't fit but did so beautifully. The author is also expanding the universe in this series so lots a new interesting character introduced.

I have been intrigued by Donovan in the other books but I think he is my favorite in the the Golden Glades. Maeve is awesome and I love how she evolved by the end of the story.
I loved all the characters woven throughout. I look forward to some of those characters getting their own story.
The story flowed well and it had me feeling good and completely enjoying it.

Fast paced
From start to finish this was a good book. I loved Maeve and Donovan but it was Triss who stole the show! She was a force to be reckoned with and the total opposite to Maeve. I hope Triss got her HEA like her sister did. The book was Great!
Again, Jessica is a great writer. I really love all of her characters within each series.

5 All the way Stars!
I've been in book funk for a while and this was one of the books to get me out of this.
Jessica knows how to write characters that stick with you and that you can't help but fall in love with. This book was no different. I loved it all and I highly recommend reading this instalment in the Golden Glades Series and if you haven't read the series yet.. what are you waiting for!
A must read!

Can't say how much I love Jessica Gadziala books!! I love that she doesn't leave you hanging at the end of the book. The epilogues give you a glimpse of how the story goes on and you can't help but smile to end!! And you still get little updates about the past character!!!
Loved Mauve and Donovan together. The each being the Ying to their Yang.
Read Jessica's books.. you won't be disappointed. In fact, she makes you feel as though you're right there in the book, living the moments with the characters. Always look forward to Jessica's release days!!

Love this series
Love this book. This series is the best to me. This one hit close to me, due to being shy and have anxiety as well. To see Donovan get the girl no matter how she acted. He stands up for her all the time.

Donovan and Maeve are cute together. She’s shy and timid, and for the most part, Donovan is pretty quiet too. They are similar in that comparison, but at the same time, they are complete opposites. Donovan like adventure and loves activities that give him adrenaline rushes (racing cars, motorcycles, etc.). Maeve reads and likes to garden.
Triss is Maeve’s sister who is her complete opposite. She helps to bring Maeve to life a little, and I love how close their relationship as sisters is and how much they love each other. Triss adds some entertainment to the story with her personality and ability to get into trouble.
Not only are there a few new characters that are introduced, but we also get to catch up with a number of the familiar GG Henchmen. This is great but at the same time, the growing number of new characters is a bit confusing. We'll need a chart to keep up with who is who at some point. But overall, it’s a good fast read with a sweet ending.

Donovan & Maeve
Excellent read! I love this series! The camaraderie, banter, food, all of it is highly enjoyable. Donavan is a great guy with a romantic heart, an adrenaline chaser, and wants a woman to know & appreciate him. Maeve is perfect for him! And he's perfect for her, too. She's a bit introverted but caring & friendly, so she makes friends with all the guys quickly. Triss (her sister) is quite the extrovert, and also makes fast friends, and it was great seeing those dynamics.
I love how Maeve & Donovan take care of each other!
Their story brought me right in from page 1. The action, humor, and heat are all perfectly balanced and the drama is well paced. I loved how things turn out with the supporting characters, too!
😍😍😍

I have read all of this author’s books. Every story has a different mood and feel to it, but they all pull you in from the first chapter.
I really enjoyed Donovan’s story. I like how Gadziala weaves the extra interesting and colorful characters into all of her books. She makes you want to know their stories and you anticipate her writing them. It is so easy to get sucked into the worlds she creates.

Cute
This was such a cute story! A little life or death meet cute. A dash of being hunted. A bit of kidnapping. And a lot of heart to hearts and l about strength and fear and doing it scared. Definitely recommend.
Some stories feel like more of the author is in the heroine than others and this one is one of those. It was so touching and felt like the feelings were someone's real feelings.
Also, hello Golden Glades universe!! So intrigued.

I am really enjoying this series. Jessica does a great job of bringing drama and mystery to the romance. Donovan and Mauve are a sweet match and even with the secrets, they are able to over come. The story line flows and characters are well developed. Highly recommend this series and all of her other books.

Donovan
Another winner for the Golden Glades Henchmen MC . Donovan was not what I expected but, then again, none have been so far. He is ready to settle down when he meets Maeve. I loved watching their love grow, him becoming calmer, her becoming more adventurous and finding a wonderful happily ever after. I have loved each and every book in this and the other series and would recommend to anyone who enjoys a well told MC love story.

“Maybe it was a whole lot of perfect you, with just a sprinkle of magic,”
THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING!!
The story was perfect, the references on point and it had everything you want in a good story.
Maeve is perfect for Donovan, they seem very opposites attract but he brings out so much life in her. I adore their story and all that comes with.
I think everyone can relate to a Character in this story. More please!!

Really enjoyed this book, Meave and Donavan brought all the adventures and some very smexy times. Add a hint of mystery - just who is after our dashing hero, a confrontation between our heroine and the 'Big bad' that is both unexpected and hilarious in equal measure.
As always I was left wanting more, not just of our main dynamic duo but also the secondary characters which as ever is a sign of just how addictive Jessica's world building is.

I loved this book! Donovan and Mauve are not your typical couple. But opposites attract! Donovan is an adrenaline junkie, and Mauve is a quiet book lover. Unfortunately, Donovan’s catches up to him and catches Mauve in the middle of it.
This is another fantastic book in the series! I love all the new characters that were introduced. I feel like we have a lot of new people to get to know!
