Virgin -
Growing up in MCs, he was used to the status quo. Brotherhood. Parties. Women in passing. And he was sure that was all he would ever want - or need. Until one night, he came across her.
Freddie -
She had ten years to make up for. Old bonds to reinforce. Revenge to plot and execute. The last thing she expected was an arms-dealing biker to come into her life, making her second-guess all her plans for her future…

Title: ➳ ❤- Virgin

Author: ➳ Jessica Gadziala

Virgin and Freddie's story
ღ They call him Virgin cuz he doesn’t give a fuck. Meaning he was laid back. Easy going. A roll with the punches kind of person.
Once upon a time, Virgin, had been link to few clubs that sold heroin & cocaine, So you can say he knew about rough times too. Shoot the man was throw into the MC at the young age of four
Virgin & Sugar had came in search of some roots, a place that they could really settle into instead of jumping MCs every few years cuz the leaders got locked up & things fell apart.
Freddie, she was Ex-con, A felon. A person who spend a decade behind bars for something she didn’t do!
Now she was out, & all she could thing about. is her revenge
Freddie, thought that she had a well plan played out, to get back out long enough just to get her revenge, well, it was pointless to torture herself with things she couldn’t have for long, but she never took in in consideration meeting Virgin
Virgin & Freddie have incredible chemistry but of course there are plenty of issues & obstacles that must be overcome before anything can happen between them. And JG gave us so much to think about in this book! Like. how I’m so curious about Colson & his backstory, & his upcoming book in the Navesink Bank Universe …..I'm damn sure that'll be an interesting story. I’m also super curious about West
And of course The Rise of Ferryn book….. I’m hoping & praying to get to Ferryn’s book before the New year’s!
I’m also hoping that JG slips few tidbits more about Thaddeus in future books. God bless, how I love him!
Omg things that Payton & the things she does! That women will never let you get bored!
You know that Roan & Camden’s are just given & thankfully their stories are coming soon for me
I must say I wish that we could see Lil more of Reign & Summer!
Overall, you know that JG will give us complex characters, fantastic back stories & she’ll give a exciting & truly satisfying s
💖 Hope you enjoy this read 💖
⬇Always remember⬇
📚 Hope you enjoy this read & also 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 The Babysitter (Professionals Series) is up next in the Navesink Bank Universe
Happy Reading --- Enjoy ……. Paulette Review

Good read.
Of course he wasn't technically a virgin, but quite the opposite 🙄
He got his road name 'Virgin', because he didn't give a fuck.
Cool. Then I'm a virgin too 😉
Even a super virgin 😂

This was another fabulous read in the Henchmen series . I really enjoyed learning about Virgin’s love interest; Freddie! Although, I must say I had a hard time with her name!! To me it was a bit distracting having a woman with a man’s name!! Lol! I guess I am a bit old fashioned!!!
Anyway, I am devouring all of these stories in the Navesink Bank world, and am really enjoying them! Next up I am moving back to the Professional series and totally looking forward to it!😆

Spoilers ahead,3.5*
First of all....that cover doesn't do Virgin justice.......
I've read all the books in this series and liked some more than others.... I enjoyed this one
Virgin and Freddie were likeable mcs but my favorite character was definitely Thad the h's brother
Again a whole heck of a lot of inner musings but that's generally this author's writing style so I've learned to live with it
Virgin surprised me with how much I liked him
Loved the epilogues
Virgin definitely wasn't a virgin 😂 he was a manwhore before the h
Freddie was inadvertently selling drugs for her boyfriend and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. He was her only sexual relationship before Virgin

Feel free to lock me in prison and throw away the key...as long as you lock me in with Virgin...
The first chapter, the first sentence, captivated (CAPTIVATED) me from the get-go. So much about this book was a surprise and what a surprise it was! Someone get the beer and balloons, this was better than a birthday party.
With a new lady on the scene, a short blurb, and plenty of anticipation (it is a new Henchmen book after all) we find ourselves back in the military grade secure compound in what feels like our own little corner of Navesink Bank, falling in love right along with these two.
Now, Freddie. Freddie endured something the average person will never have to live through. Shit, not only did she live through 10 years of her life being stolen from her but it followed on the heels of betrayal, heartbreak, and barely able to say the cusp of adulthood. Still soft and able to move forward, I envy her ability to move on. Sure, she’s got plans to make the source of her pain pay, but everyone needs a driving force. Love and revenge are the two oldest motivators in the book outside of money and who can blame her for focusing on revenge? Thankfully, Navesink Bank is the perfect place to find another half to help you with that.
Virgin has been with our club for awhile, but that doesn’t mean we have really gotten to know him. Thank God that changes since this is his story. Virgin so far has been the closest thing to family that Sugar has, only giving us enough past in Sugar’s book to hint at the man hiding behind the leather cut. Raised in violence, debauchery, and without the softness a mother-figure can provide, who had any idea we would find a protective and sweet place for Freddie to land. Another one bites the dust, and I’m so thankful we get all the dirty details.
Oh, be still my heart but I love getting glimpses of the people we have known and loved for years now. You can’t have a Henchmen fall in love without the input of at least half the club and their women. Girls club 2.0 may have taken Freddie in but we still have mention of all the OG members. Freddie slips comfortably in and is a great addition to the rag-tag melting pot we all consider family.
New men in our life, about as exciting as book release day, right? This time we get three! Between Freddie’s twin brothers and a new prospect, we can expect the Henchmen to take us many books in the future. Everyone can love and envy Thad for his carefree joy-filled way of life, dream of having a steadfast solid supporter like Colson, and crave the day we get to find what makes West tick. Jessica’s side characters are like cups of good coffee, you can’t have just one.
Bow down to our girl Jessica on another amazing story of course, but get the woman a crown for that epilogue! She wraps up a story prettier than the gift wrapping people at the jewelry store. I can’t wait for the next story, because when a storm comes to NB, you can’t help but get swept away with the rest of them.

…And, like a broken record, I have to say, Jessica Gadziala has done it, again! VIRGIN is one more shining example of a series that does not get stale. This time out, we see less motorcycle mayhem and more softness, more blistering romance that comes through between two people who haven’t had the easiest or most “mainstream normal” of lives.
Virgin is that alpha guy who goes after what he wants, but beneath the tough shell is a heart gold and a real man with heart.
Freddie, oh my, talk about a hard life that didn’t strip away her sweetness or break her spine. She is so different from the other characters, she adds to the group and the series.
Ms. Gadziala just grows and grows as an author, and knows how to build a story around larger-than-life characters, then bringing it all home with an ending that is almost fairytale perfect!
Raw emotions, brilliant characters and scenes that will have you lost in each page, this is one for the winners’ pile just like the rest of the series!
I received a complimentary copy from Jessica Gadziala!

Are you like me and wondered how on earth Virgin got his road name? Result! And for the record, it's awesome!
The Henchmen are some of the amazing bikers anybody could hope for - gorgeous, loyal, honorable and total badasses. Virgin is one of the newer members who joined with his best friend, Sugar. They grew up in MCs, not nice ones (heroin and enforcement), and the lifestyle was all they knew. But like many of the successful Henchmen Lotharios, he thoroughly enjoys his (fleeting) time with the ladies and wonders at how his MC brothers have been falling like flies for their wives and partners. Not that their women aren't great (they totally are), but yeah, hitching himself to just one really isn't his style. Famous last words?
When Virgin spots freshly-sprung from prison Freddie at the bar, he's struck by her beauty. Based on looks alone, she is exactly his type. It's her confidence, poise and something else that he can't quite figure out, though that make her stand out. When she reluctantly accepts his offer for a drink - a soda - she's got things to do the following morning (not Virgin, though), he's intrigued by her evasive answers and a bit surprised that she resists his abundant charms. For Freddie, life outside is strange after ten long years imprisoned when her boyfriend lets her take the fall for a crime she knew nothing about. She needs to get her act together. She needs a job and to get to know her family again. And for ten years, she has been thinking about revenge.
Virgin and Freddie have incredible chemistry but there are plenty of issues and obstacles that must be overcome before anything can happen between them. As always, Jessica Gadziala gives us complex characters, fantastic back stories and exciting and truly satisfying stories.

This book was worth the wait. We were introduced to Virgin a while ago, we patiently waited for his girl to show up. Freddie made a fantastic entrance and brought a entire group of people that I can not wait to learn more about. Freddie and Virgin make a great couple and I am glad they got their HEA.
January 29, 2019
Hell yes to all that is Virgin
You don't always need a tonne of action to make a story and this book right here proves that to be facts.
Some people are unlucky in life. Real shit, I can relate to that. This story touches on some real shit luck in life but it also lets you know at some point that storm is gunna clear and you'll have yourself a sunny day that may just erase those clouds for ya.
First of all how he came about to be Virgin.. I'm here for that.
Freddie and Virgin are both two people who had to grow up real fast. Different, yet the same.
One had been gone a decade with no idea about life now. The other is starting to feel unsettled, like something is missing.
So many obstacles to overcome. For that ending though? Fuck yes it's worth it.
Freddie really did get it rough. I'm not going to spoil it but it's safe to say that girl got hit with a shit brick of epic proportions. Life wasn't kind to her at first and my heart broke for her because that girl is sweet. She holds her own firmly in this world of epically huge characters. She just shines in a different way. Innocent to so much of the world we really got to delve into her character and truly watch her grow. Her journey was filled with so much positivity you can't help but fall in love with her character and I think she seemlessly fits into this world but also holds her own because she's not like anyone else.
Virgin, lord save me from my sinful thoughts but holy hell balls that man is something else. A man from nothing with a past that could of made his future so different he defied the odds to become something. A man who knows what he wants and isn't afraid to go after it, I can appreciate that kind of upfront honesty. In typical Jessica fashion she provides us with a man that is layered in depth with the kind of personality that keeps giving. Strong, confident and sweet he is that perfect combination of everything you could ever need in a book boyfriend.
This story doesn't have a lot of crazy action because it's not needed. We have a seamless story that flows perfectly from the previous one making me feel like there wasn't a break between the books. It's purely about them here!. No distractions, no fillers this is all story and character development. Budding relationship and new possibilities. So much growth! Better understanding. The characters are filled with so much personality it's bursting from the pages. The chemistry between them all is out of this world and Jessica writes that family dynamic so well you forget they are a family by choice and not made that way. What I live for it is how everyone in these stories matter. The plot is seamlessly written flowing perfectly from one page to the next and the characters are the gift that keep giving. The bad and good, love and laughter! And the crazy ass hilariously dysfunctional shenanigans. I LIVE FOR IT.
A few special mentions...
Thad!!! Hell yes to him and his fabulous self who just shines so much greatness in the form of sarcasm and Witt. I won't go on because EVERYONE is gushing over his greatness but yes Jessica once again you have brought yet another fabulous human into a already great mix.
Ohh that little Ferryn drop did not go amis girl. I caught it and am hanging onto that little sliver until we get her story. Lord knows that book will blow our minds. FACT.
I'm hella curious about Colson and his grumpy ass. I'm sure that'll be an interesting story.
Also Payton as per had me in fits of laughter at her crazy antics!!! I live for that lady.
Anywho ... to wrap up- seriously you need this book in your life. The story is outstanding. The characters are raw real and relatable. Not everything is on the surface and I love that this author dug deep in this one taking it back to the bare bones giving us a rawness that I didn't know I needed.
Also that epilogue is everything.
I can't wait for what's next!.

Set up to take the fall for a guy who you thought really cared for you. Court's threw the book at you giving you ten years in prison. Serve your ten years missing out on your family and their lives, your own life. Finally getting released to try and pick up life where you left off. And the first thought on your mind is revenge. Of course it is. That is exactly what was on Freddie's mind as she boarded a bus back to Navesink Bank.
Grew up in the life and now live your life with the best group of brothers at your back that you could have. Zero fucks given. Looking for something a little more then just a warm body. That is exactly what Virgin was looking for when he and Cam seen Freddie and her brother Thad across the bar.
Freddie and Virgin really just clicked after they meet. Sorta like they were meant to be. I really enjoyed the easy flow of their relationship. I adored Thad and Colson her brothers. And Jelly Colsons daughter was just too cute.
Freddie got her chance to extract revenge thanks to Reign without having to sacrifice her life. Something she was very willing to do to get revenge on her former boyfriend who set her up all those years ago. We got to see some of the girls squad and the infamous Peyton lol!
The ending was really sweet seeing not only Freddie and Virgin and their children get their HEA, but Thad and his man got theirs too! I really hope we get Roans story I want to find out what this "Storm" is all about. And I want to meet Colsons women. Jelly needs a mama. I recommend catching up on all the Henchmen and their ladies so you can dive right in to Virgin. I recommend this book to all Henchmen lovers!!!

I've been waiting for more with Virgin for a while now and Jessica did not disappoint. Freddie is amazing and this book brought even more people for me to fall in love with. I can't wait for some of these new guys to get their stories now! Freddie and Virgin fit so well together and I wasn't ready for the book to be over - there will never be enough time spent in Navesink Bank for me. If you love the Henchmen, don't wait - get this book the minute you can.
January 27, 2019
Virgin and Freddie are perfect! Jessica Gadziala has written another amazing story! I love the whole new cast of characters that were introduced, also. Definitely a 5 star must read!
January 27, 2019
All things you love about a Henchman story. Great romance, humor, exceptional new secondary characters, little nuggets of information about future books (I thought Shooter broke the mold on most outlandish character but West is running a close race) and as always an epic epilogue.

REALLY REALLY GOOD👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
🚨SPOILER ALERT🚨
A young woman gets sent to federal prison for a decade for a crime she unknowingly committed. She's released and now she has to restart a life and deal with societies obstacles and pitfalls along the way. And when she falls for an outlaw biker, well the tale really gets interesting. A new author for me, Jessica Gadziala is special. Truly gifted.
Extremely well written, and maybe the best character development I've ever encountered. The backstories of the two protagonists who somehow find each other will ABSOLUTELY wreck you. You start thinking about what have we've become to one another. I'm a retired Marine so I'm hardly some bleeding heart, but this book had me thinking about what more can I do? You can't save everyone, but if we all save one, how much better can the world be? See how this book got me all in my feelings?!?!😁😁😁 Got me up at midnight reaching for my credit card to donate to Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida...I ain't shame!!!😁😁😁
An emphatic Buy it, read it and enjoy!!!👍🏾🔥👍🏾🔥👍🏾🔥👍🏾🔥👍🏾🔥

Another wonderfully written story. I love that Freddie was not what I was expecting and neither was her story. Such a sweet soul and I love that I think she is one I can relate to the most. Such a sweet soul, but will stand up for what she believes in. Virgin is sooo yummy!!! Sweet caring with her but can throw down when needed. He’s story broke my heart in the beginning. I love that things weren’t forced or rushed they took their time and just went with the flow. It was light on action but I think for their story it was perfect. Thad is AMAZING!!!!!!! I want no need one of him in my life!!! Colson is such a great big brother protective and loving and I love single dad stories. I love when they step up and do whatever for their little ones, it warms my heart. It never ceases to amaze me how Jessica can create these characters and make you feel like their part of your family. I cannot wait to find out what storm is brewing. It has everything it has comedy, love , sexiness, drama, a little action and unexpectedness. Great job

I’m working my way through this series. I read the first 4 books years ago but then got distracted in the wait for the 5th book. So I did a re-read and set off again. I got to book 15 and needed a break.
So now I’m back and I really enjoyed this one. Freddie and Ty were brilliant and I loved Thad.
But I’ve been looking forward to Roan’s book for so long now so let’s hope it doesn’t disappoint

I really loved this story. Freddie and Virgin were awesome together. I love how they came together seamlessly. Sometimes I just need a couple to come together without a lot of angst and this was perfect. By the way, Thad is now my favorite side character. Good job again JG.

Freddie has lost 10 years of her life; stuck paying for sins that weren't even her own. When she returns home and reconnects with her family the last thing on her mind is a relationship; revenge maybe🤷♀️... a relationship not so much. But when Freddie finally starts actually living her life & she meets Virgin can she follow through with her original plans? Virgin was born and raised in the MC lifestyle...he was used to the brotherhood, the adrenaline & chaos. A relationship was never really on his radar until he meets Freddie. Honestly, there was something so refreshing about F & V's story in the way that there wasn't any big drama or big bad just two people falling for one another seamlessly.
Seriously, this book universe; Navesink Bank is one of my favorite places to visit. And there are so many things to love about this series and this book specifically...all the interaction/catch up time between all the men, some new intriguing characters, hilarious one liners & all things girls club. ❤️ If you love The Henchmen as much as I do you don't wanna wait on this book. It's so so worth it & I hope you enjoy it as much as I did 💋

Book #16 and still just as interesting as book #1. The Henchmen are by far my favorite MC ever and we continue to meet new members who are all unique but so great in there own ways.
Virgin we got to know some about his life in Sugars book given they grew up together but hearing his version makes me just as sad. He is a great guy and a badass with strong loyalties.
Freddie we meet in a different way then we have ever met a h before. She is just an everyday girl who went through an crappy situation. We get to meet her 2 brothers who are both great new characters! Come on Colson's story Jelly needs a mama!!!
We get a nice dose of the girls club 2.0 and of course the amazing Peyton who brings her own sort of crazy to any book she is apart of.
Get ready for that epilogue the queen of epilogues has done it again!!

Virgin
This book was so good. I loved the fact Virgin was never an ass to Freddie. I hate what Freddie had to go through! Those epilogues are everything! You've done it again JG!

Freddie and Virgin are the epitome dream couple! I love them together! This isn’t one of the Henchman stories with a ton of action sequences, but the story is sweet and funny, and definitely well written! It was great to see new characters! Thad would so fun to have as a friend! And I hope Comsin gets a story because I definitely want to see more of him! As usual Jessica wrote a wonderful story that is captivating, and makes you feel like the characters are people you know and love. A great read!

Its always dicey when I decide to read a book which is part of a long series which I haven't read as yet ... but I decide to be adventurous and read it ... I didn't regret my decision ...
Its a great book ... h's story is tragic and sad ... but she is very brave and does her best to make a life for herself ... H is an overall great guy who supports her a lot ...
I loved the epilogue ...

A solid 4 star read.
I can't say that it gave me the feels like some of JG's earlier books have, but I enjoyed the angst free story all the same.

Freddie rolls back into Navesink Bank after a decade away. She has family issues to sort and needs to get back on her feet in general. Virgin is enthralled by Freddie and undeterred by the complications in her life.
Freddie and Virgin are kindred souls, but Freddie has unfinished business that she is reluctant to let go. She had a plan when she arrived, but to follow through with it would risk everything she has done so far to get herself together. Ten years of planning is a big investment, though, and she is torn between dispensing justice or moving on.
In addition to visits with old friends, we meet a couple of entertaining and intriguing new characters. This book is a little lighter in action but still full of heart and heat, and I feel a little in love with Freddie.
Five stars.

I really loved Freddie and Virgin. I love the way the book flowed and how they simple just accept each other and figure out the relationship together. The reason it was four stars and not five was I wanted a little more action (but 100% that could have just been my mood on the day of reading so I’ll see what happens when I reread it). I love Jessica’s writing and the connections with all the characters. Thaddeus is so amazing! I am excited about West...
Basically go read this! (And all other henchmen/JG if you haven’t)!

Love!
I loved seeing Virgin finally get his HEA after he said he would never for so long. What I loved even more though was the club scenes where the whole MC was together and we got a few scenes with Reign, Cash and Wolf..3 of the OGs that I dearly love.

Ugh! I don’t know what is wrong with me! The last few JG books in her reading order have been hitting the tear ducts hard! I loved this book and I know I say this about every freaking last one of her books but I can’t help it!!! They’re so damn good! Virgin has been a mystery for so long!!! And his life before the club and even during the club made me want to straight up cry! Maybe it’s the Mom in me or the women in me or even just the damn human being in me but I wanted to wreck some shit! I was very stabby when he told his story to the amazing Freddie. The beautiful amazing girl who’s suffered a life she was framed for! Like Tanner got what he deserved but he could’ve gotten his ass whooped on a little (or a lot) in my opinion! Going in this journey through JG’s reading order has been a trip. I’ve been through so many amazing books it’s unreal. Please PLEASE! If you read this! Take the time to go to her website JessicaGadziala.com and look under books and then click on the reading order. It’s long yes and maybe a little intimidating but you will not regret it! They’re not that long of books but they each pack a punch! Highly recommend every one of her books!!

5 Ain't no Virgin Stars
Virgin is the 16th book in the Henchmen series and it tells Virgin and Freddie's story. Freddie is someone I loved from the get go, I felt her pain and because they have such similar backgrounds I think it bonded them together quickly. The one thing I will say is I felt Virgins back story was rushed and put together in one very small chapter. But other than that I loved their story and of course as always with Jess' books I loved that we got all her fantastic secondary characters within.
What made this books extra great was Thad, He was just a blast and couldn't get enough of him and loved that we got his ending as well.
Another fantastic read from one of my favourite authors.

Excellent. Amazing. Sweet. Sad. Funny. Virgins book was all of this & so much more! We knew it was going to take a special girl to take down Virgin & Freddy was just the girl for the job. She was amazing, I really loved her back story & her brothers. 😉 it was nice to finally get Virgins story after getting little taste of him throughout the other books. He definitely did not disappoint in the sexy, sweet, caring, possessive alpha category & I just loved the way he took care of Freddy & accepted her for who she is & her brothers for who they are. <-- can you say new characters!!!! 😁😁
The Henchmen series is an amazing series & it gets better with every book. Jessica Gadziala is one talented writer for the world she has created.
