Raff
Lula spent years telling Raff exactly why he’s not her type.
He’s an outlaw biker: carefree, reckless, wholly unserious, and the biggest flirt she’s ever met. She’s the accountant who cooks the books for the mob. Lula likes order. Spreadsheets. Five-year plans.
Then one mistake destroys everything she’d worked so hard for.
Desperate to fix it, she sets out to find the man who ruined it all. Which means accepting help from the one man she’d been telling herself she doesn’t want but might just be exactly what she needs…

Do you know the worst thing about books like this?
Books I love so much?
They are over so fast that I don't even realize where the time went.
I just end up finishing them in one sitting.
I love Jessica Gadziala's books.
Her stories are thrilling, exciting, and always action-packed and romantic.
Yes, it’s a story about an outlaw biker, but about one who knows exactly how to make a woman melt.
It’s not just his way of winning a woman over that Raff has perfected.
He has also taken his patience, powers of observation, and understanding of that one special woman to a whole new level.
He watched Lula for years, longing for her from afar.
Everyone thought it was a joke because, let’s be honest, he was no angel all those years.
We’re talking about an MC with all the parties, women, and so on.
Lula is a strong, independent, and very empowered woman.
Raff is an MC member who is constantly on the road because that’s his role in the club.
But apparently, it wasn't a joke.
Apparently, he was just biding his time, waiting for the perfect moment.
And if you want to know what happens next with Raff and Lula, you have to read this amazing book.
I enjoyed every second of this amazing book.

So Fun!!!
Raft is such a great book! It helps that Raff and Lula are both fantastic characters! Lula is very different than what you see in past books. She really lets her hair down. I definitely recommend this as a must read! I can’t wait for the next story!

This was a slow‑burner that was both tender and fun. Raff turns out to have plenty of patience, perception, and the quiet ache of wanting Lula.
He has been biding his time looking for an opening and it finally presents itself. Luna has been keeping a big secret from everyone, but Raff finally catches on and gently confronts her.
If you love tension, growth, found‑family chaos, and a hero who knows exactly how to love a complicated woman, this hits the spot.

Raff is the tenth book in the Shady Valley Henchmen MC series by Jessica Gadziala. This is Raff and Lula’s story.
Raff is such a great guy! He’s always so much fun and has a really great personality. The more I got to know him, the more I realized how wonderful he is. In earlier books, we witnessed Raff flirting with Lula, but she has always blown him off and basically ignored him. Turns out Raff wasn’t just flirting.
I had some work on my hands with Lula. While I loved Raff throughout the entire book, I sadly cannot say the same for her. I know it’s okay to have goals, but I was getting mad with how blind she was and how intent Lula was on that made up/make believe list of hers. I’m pretty OCD myself and I love my personal lists, but I genuinely wanted to reach in my Kindle and shake that woman while hitting her upside the head!
This book has not only some of the Henchmen from Shady Valley but also some from the Golden Glades MC as well as Zayn, Teddy and the Murphy brothers. I loved all the added characters and cannot wait to get their books too. The Henchmen are some of my favorites but I like all of the Navesink Bank characters.
With all of Jessica’s books, we get an ending I love. I was super happy at the end and enjoyed the extended epilogue. Another good story.

Raff and Lula were always meant to be end game. I am so freaking glad that they finally got their story.
Raff is sweet and silly and unapologetically himself. He pays attention, he bid his time amd boy when he did strike?! Baby he hit the bullseye.
Lula is stubborn and strong and so independent. She's also a liar to herself to protect herself. Watching her come around, break those walls down and give in?.. it was everything for her personal growth.
These two had me on EDGE. The tension. The chemistry, the moments of sweet vulnerability. The getting to know eachothernso deeply. The genuine affection. The humour.. everything about them had me hooked. I loved the banter and the way Raff rode the storm navigating Lula's turbulent waters without trying ro takeover. He protected, he was patient and he spoilt her and she needed that. She needed to feel like she was making her own choices and chosen to accept his kindness because he cared and not for an alternative motive. I just loved that for them.
Jessie once again killed it with her lovable characters, intriguing world and of course some curious faces showing up and leaving me wanting more.

Raff and Lula
I was wondering if these two were endgame since the first time they were introduced in the Shady Valley books. I couldn’t see how Jessica could make it work after years of rejection, but she did. These two were perfect for each other.
In true Henchmen fashion, the heroine of course ended up in danger and our leather clad here saved the day—and I am also waiting for a Murphy Brothers book now, because what HAS Cillian been up to?

So so good
This was a story I have been looking forward to for a long time, amd Jessica did not disappoint!! Over the Shady Valley series we have had a taste of Raff and Lula, but she always turned him down. But this book was perfect. I loved getting to know Raff and his layers and Lula as a boss babe. As always, I completely fell in love with the characters and the story. Thank you Jessica for always giving life to your characters!! They always keep me coming back for more!

Review of advance copy received from Author
So good! We have waited a while for Raff and Lula story… and it was so worth the wait. The adventure in this book was intriguing, made me want to travel across the country.
It was also nice to see all the people in this book. Can’t wait to see what is next in Shady Valley

Loved Raff and Lula. This was a slow burn filled with patience, road trips, and of course a little danger along the way. Luna is keeping secrets, and I couldn't wait to see how everything would unfold. Another great read that kept me turning the pages.

As always with a Jessica Gadziala book you fall into a new world with old friends. She never disappoints with her writing and is always a one click!

3.5 stars
I am a big fan of this series. I love all the guys and the girls they find are so fun. I do wish this had more club interaction. Riff amd Raff used to be tied to the hip and they barely interacted in this book. I was glad to see the Golden Glades crossover. I am curious of what or who the fmc's boss is so busy with now...of course I will continue reading the series.
