It was starting to seem like we would never get a break. We just needed a little peace, some time to add new members, build our club up, so we could take on whatever threats were coming our way. How could we have known that a new threat would be coming hot on the heels of someone I hadn’t seen in nearly a decade, someone who was back to call in a marker, someone who was in trouble. And, perhaps, someone I wanted to keep in my present, and my future.

Che and Saskia's story



ღ The fun continues with Che is the 2nd book in the Spinoff series Golden Glades Henchmen Series

Che, for better or worse, was the level-headed one, the voice of reason, the devil's advocate. Until she walks back into his life

Che wasn't a huge talker as a whole. But when he did start talking, the further on he went, the more thickly you could hear his Cuban accent. Which I might, mention is sexy as hell

Once upon time, when she was a little headstrong eighteen-year-old, dead-set on proving she could run with the big boys, that’s when she met Che… he was her mentor and help her learn the ins and outs of the racing scene… Saskia (aka Sass), a freelance wheelman for assorted criminal activities, now she on the run from one of her employers

Now sass turns to the only person she knew that could and would help her- her husband …. Che…. Yeah you read that right… Che and Saskia have been married for almost 10 years and his brothers had no clue…..

There is so much going on in this installment, you got a Possible new player in town.

✔️Action and drama
✔️Ukrainians syndicate
✔️Sex and fast cars
✔️Chinese mafia
✔️Car chase
✔️ bulls flying

Overall, you know that JG will give us complex characters, fantastic back stories & she’ll give a exciting & truly satisfying story
💖 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.

I just love a Jessie book. It's the wholesome well rounded characters and plot for me. She somehow manages to create these crazy storylines full of action with a smidge of suspense, a good dose of anticipation and a whole lot of laughter, banter... bickering and hot AF shenanigans that I can't get enough of.

Che, this man is positively delightful. Patient, sweet, understanding and strong enough to stand for what he wants. He's just the whole package. The dancing?.. my heart could not take it. I love how he handled Sass with care knowing she was overwhelmed with the family he found for himself. I adored how loyal and protective he was and man... the dominance.. I died.

Saskia... what a woman she is. Independent, strong, fiesty, loyal and fierce as fuck. I had a total girl crush on her. She's a loner wolf who rules her own world but when she found herself in a spot of trouble the only person she felt she could go to was Che. Even after years she trusted him with her life. Ahhh!! I just loved her and what she did. She cracked me up with her social anxiety because it was like reading my own thoughts in my head when I'm forced to socialise. She just so relatable.

These are the freaking sweetest. It has that special friends to lovers feel but with something even more special. They already had that connection which I felt instantly flare to life when the crashed into eachother again but the chemistry.... oh that was new and so fucking hot it burned bright. His playful patience to her more reserved chaos made for the most fascinating relationship. From reminiscing over the old days to making new hotter sweater memories, I just couldn't get enough of them together. It was like a match made in criminal heaven. The familiarity between then just made it all the more unique.

Ahh the side characters are everything!!!.
I want Teddy so bad. I need to know more about the man who goes out of his way to make any woman feel cared for.. to feel safe. I just have a feeling he's hurting in a big way and I want to fix it for him. I feel like he's painting a picture he wants others to see but not the truth.

McCoy is another I'm eyeballing hard. I love them all though. These characters are so diverse with so much to give and I'm beyond curious and excited to learn more. The bond between these guys and the ever evolving dynamics of their MC is uniquely them and I can't wait for what the future brings this crazy lot. From hilarious banter and bickering to all the crazy shenanigans that come with being in a 1% MC and of course the extra drama brought in by new faces... there is never a dull moment.

Jessie's storytelling abilities are out of this world. It flows seamlessly for one page to the next and hits home emotionally making it so easy to connect to the characters and their journeys. This just like the rest is a great story thats unpredictable, swoony, sweet and hilarious with enough danger to keep things interesting. The characters are multidimensional with so many layers and so much to give I'm constantly wanting more. I just love them all.

I just read this amazing and exciting novel in one sitting 😊
Apparently with the right book I have no problems with fast reading 🤭

This exciting, gripping and romantic book was what I needed 🥰
Che's and Saskia's story is not only a fast-paced page-turner with a lot of action and dramatic events that follow both characters, it's also a second chance / friends to lovers sweet romance with all the amazing heartwarming emotions ❤

If you think that a outlaw biker can't be romantic, you didn't meet Che.
He's from Cuba and his mother not only thaught him to dance 🔥 but also to be an absolute charmer, who is longing for love and family.

The Florida MC chapter have a lot of trouble with competition and being new in the area and their small number of members aren't making it easier.
As if there weren't enough problems, Che's "wife" suddenly appears at the door after 10 years, looking for help.

Che's and Saskia's story started with one favor and another favor has tied them for the past 10 years.
The reunion brings back old memories and feelings that have always been suppressed.
But now he is an outlaw arms dealing and she is a badass independent woman with a thing for fast cars.
Is there a chance it could work this time after so many years?

I love this book ❤️ It's a must read for all romance lovers ❤❤❤

Fast and Furious. The Transporter. Why have I mentioned these in a review for a Jessica Gadziala book? You will have to read it to find out.. I love that the author has this chapter of the MC based in Florida. By taking it out of Navesink Bank it opens the possibilities of creating so many more exciting plot threads which she takes full advantage of in this book.

The main characters in this book are Che and Saskia (Sass). Their backstory was freggin awesome. Helps that I am a fan of the two movie franchise I mentioned above but the author makes her own spin and I loved it. It was a refreshing change and one of this author strengths is showing women in a powerful light, not putting them in stereotypical jobs. Saskia proved she was just as cool as Vin Diesel and Jason Statham.

Gun Runner and a wheel man! Perfect combo! I loved this story! It was action packed, and kept me on my toes! Sass and Che’s story was a very pleasant surprise. She’s a racer and a wheelman. Her trouble brings her to Che, and it causes a lot of drama. This is a story I couldn’t put down. Now I can’t wait for more of the crew! And I want to get to know some of the new guys!

I am in LOVE with the 6-Alarm FIRE that is Che by Jessica Gadziala!!

Zomg, the action between the other gun runners after Che, and the mafia after Saskia is EVERYTHING! I absolutely NEEEEED to know who all of Seeley 's connections are, and how he manages to get the job done every.single.time!! Being back in Miami with these Henchmen is a non-stop thrill ride, and brought me back to why I love MC Romance with a bang!

Che and Sass's building relationship is so sweet, and beautiful, and just WOW!! Their belief that they can continue this relationship as is, and not have it develop over the last ten years (even if they haven't seen each other), made me laugh out loud and swoon at the same time! I absolutely adored their protective nature over each other!

Jessica Gadziala absolutely SLAYED with Che, I love the side characters, and these fierce lady friendships, and all the new characters! I can't wait to see who's next up, I'm holding out hope for Booker or Teddy because I know their stories are going to be AMAZEBALLS!!

An absolute 10 ⭐ thrill ride through Miami, you absolutely need a little Che in your life today!

Love the Navesink Bank Henchmen MC? Well, the Golden Glades branch of the Henchmen is shaping up to be just as fantastic as the NJ mother club. Saskia (aka Sass), a freelance wheelman for assorted criminal activities, pulls into the GG Henchmen's clubhouse looking for Che. As it turns out, she's his estranged green card wife in trouble for a job gone wrong which has resulted in people tracking her across multiple states. And shooting her. No further plot spoilers, but the way Che and Sass interact is fabulous, the action is thrilling and the relationship development is thoroughly engaging. Oh, and the car chases - woo-eee! Loved every word.

My new favorite man is Che. I love love love him. I love that he speaks Spanish, dances, is laid back and loving. I'm so glad Sass got a HEA with Che. With Che the biker ex-car chopper/racer and Sass a wheelman, it was a good match. I also liked that Sass didn't get overly angsty over her upbringing and make it an issue with building a relationship with Che.
I seriously need to know more about Booker and Ayanna. I also would like to learn more about the new members in the club.

Another amazing book! I was not expecting it at all! And I love love love that Sass is a chick who knows about cars ! I swear Jessie’s books can be made into a tv series , I would say movie but it would be super long to fit all the amazing ness into it! All the new characters too I can’t wait to get their stories .... all of them! JG is one of those authors that it’s easy to forget that authors are people too and they can’t just spend every waking moment writing incredible stories just so we can delve more into those worlds.

Every author has a distinctive style, but I really feel that none is more bold than Jessica Gadziala’s as she takes us back into the world of motorcycle clubs and the tough-as-nails on the outside/soft-as-warm-caramel on the inside members who place love, loyalty and family above all! (Even if it has been a decade or more since they were last seen.)

CHE has the grit, the romance, the danger and the same raw passions that Ms. Gadziala creates every single time! This one is a wonderful, fresh and heady mix of all three in spades, guaranteeing that readers will ride another emotionally charged rollercoaster of great reading from start to finish!

I received a complimentary ARC edition from Jessica Gadziala! This is my honest and voluntary review.

Yes, My beautiful cuban boy! Awww did I enjoy this book! It was fantastic. I adored Sass (with that name of course I was going to loved her!) And obviously I adored Che. The romance, their dynamics, the way the worked so flawlessly together, the steamy scenes but most importantly the camaraderie and amazing chemistry our main characters had (that dancing in the kitchen scene *swoons*) everything was just *chef's kiss*.
With this new book we got a bit more of the lives of our new Henchmen and also *mild spoiler* the Triad and the Japanese *excitement intensifies* i don't know what to expect from them but I feel that is going to be amazing!
Now, that epilogue was *squeals* im so going to enjoy reading this new Henchmen chapter! Can't wait 💋

Che and his Sass are perfect!

I’m enjoying the Miami chapter of the Henchmen just as much as I’d hoped, and I see more goodness coming our way, based on the characters introduced this time around. And while my heart broke for a certain two, I’m really hoping to see a non-MC book or two and the reconciliation of their love.

This isn’t just a rewritten Navesink Bank world with more sunshine and gators. Sure, there are similarities, but that’s mainly because the NJ Henchmen would naturally attract men of a similar caliber, so I can’t wait to see what comes next in Miami.

What a great book!

Che was yummy and I loved how caring and protective he was over Saskia. It was like no time had passed, and it was obvious how much the two of them had meant to each other years earlier.

Saskia was a great leading lady. She was sweet and independent, and took everything that came with the MC in stride. She had never really had a family before, so it was heartwarming watching her with the club members and the ladies in their lives.

I’m genuinely hoping Booker and Ayanna get a book, and I like the new members that were added at the end.

I’m a huge fan of this author and always enjoy the worlds she creates through her writing. Another great book!

I love it! Small spoiler ahead...

Who would have thought Che had a secret wife?! So cool to see a breakout plot from the new chapter!
On top of that, you get to the end of this book and realize that, somehow, 3 separate really big conflicts/sub-plots were woven together seamlessly into one novel. As usual, Ms. Gadziala had given us an epilogue with depth and a wonderful peak at the future. I can't wait for all the other stories. Who will it be??? I almost can't wait to read about Teddy, but I have the feeling I might have to wait for other characters. Who is Ayanna's baby daddy? Is she back with Booker? I anxiously await the next installment... of any one of the amazing series in Ms. Gadziala's world.

I love this series! Che and Sass were a perfect match. I also loved the type of man Che was. He didn’t try to change Sass or hold her back. This book seriously had me laughing out loud a lot. Harmon and her comments plus the rest of the brother. Also, these 2 had some serious chemistry. I liked that this one was a bit of a slow burn. You can definitely start to see how the MC drama will develop for this group. So excited for the rest of the books in this series!!

Fast paced and HOTT!

These new Henchmen are having a hell of a time trying to make their mark in Florida. Not only do they have their own drama but like the mother chapter, they attract women that bring issues along.

Che has been with his brothers for years, they know each other inside and out but 1 day there is a knock at the door and Sass from past is back.... BAM! The questions arise. A wife? A Wheelman?

This story gave me such original fast and furious vibes (the good one). Fast cars, explosions, Seeley being all mysterious, Harm prego, burnt cupcakes, drama and Asian mafias... how can it not be amazing!?!?! I was melting with it all.
I'm greedy and want more!!! Gimme!!

Jessica Gadziala hits another homerun with Che. This is a sweet romance, despite the MC setting, and the fact that both the H & the h are part of criminal enterprises was incredibly appealing. I loved that Saskia is a strong, independent woman who up until now has done well for herself in this world and taken care of herself, but despite this you could see her vulnerabilities and how she and Che clearly complement each other as they move from friends to more.

This author is so talented that you need not have read any of the others in the series to enjoy this one, I highly recommend them all because they are really that good and enjoyable!

Che and Sass... The Gun Runner & The Wheelman! These two were everything and this series is quickly becoming one of my new favorites from JG. ALL the drama that ensues! ALL the twists and turns! You'll definitely be burning through the pages of Che! Add the unique connection between C & S, a once friendly bond changes into something that neither one of them expected. GAH! I JUST LOVE THEM!

Ya'll so much happens in this read and I feel like we've only just scratched the surface of what's in store for The Golden Glades Henchmen and I am 150% here for it!

Awesome, exciting read!!!!

I loved Che and Sass's story so much! It was a great story with passion, wit and humor and so much excitement. I cannot recommend this Author and ALL of her books enough. One thing you will never be after reading one of her stories is disappointed (other than being sad the the book is over, lol)

Che is the second book in the Golden Glades Henchmen MC series by Jessica Gadziala. Che has a secret and hasn't told any of his brothers, but secrets have a way of coming out when you least expect them too. 

Saskia, Che's secret wife is in trouble and has no one else to go to. As a woman who keeps to herself, looks after herself and independent to boot she really doesn't want to ask for her help but she has no other options.

"You were important to me,’ I admitted. ‘I was really lost and really angry and really reckless back then. And you helped me find my way, and helped soothe over the rough edges of my anger.”

Sass is a woman I want to be friends with and I had one hell of a girl crush on her. She was kick ass throughout and it has the perfect mix of action and romance. As always Jessica not only writes kickass woman she writes amazing secondary characters that make her books jam packed with greatness!

Che and Sass burn up Golden Glades

Oh my god, Che, you dark horse! I love Saskia, such a feisty bad ass with the requisite soft center, but only for him.
This is kind of a second chance romance, with them meeting again after 10 years apart. The 🔥 is obvious from the start, but nothing is easy with these Golden Glades henchmen.
I loved seeing their story progress and the building camaraderie between the women. As always it's the secondary characters, and their interactions with the main couple, that set Jessica's books apart from the rest. I can't wait to see what (or more importantly who) is next!

Une romance de mariage arrangé et de bikers sur fond de mafia que j'ai lu avec plaisir

Comme je suis malade depuis une quinzaine de jours, je me suis tournée vers les romances de biker et je dois avouer que les livres de Jessica Gadziala sont parfaits pour remonter le moral =D

J'étais curieuse de voir avec qui Che allait terminer et j'ai ADORE Sass ! Déjà parce que c'est un personnage original (d'abord concurrente dans des courses illégales puis chauffeuse pour des braquages !) mais aussi parce qu'elle est terriblement humaine avec ses doutes et tout >< Et j'ai adoré sa romance mignonne avec Che, sur fond de mariage arrangé mais aussi leur relation mentor / étudiant !

L'intrigue était aussi top, avec les menaces contre Sass liées à son boulot (j'adorais avoir une série avec les yakuzas et les Triades !!)

Bref, une romance sexy et amusante que j'ai dévoré !


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*


A romance of arranged marriage and bikers with a touch of the mafia that I read with pleasure

As I have been ill for a fortnight, I turned to biker romances and I must admit that Jessica Gadziala's books are perfect for cheering me up =D

I was curious to see who Che would end up with and I LOVED Sass ! Already because she is an original character (first a competitor in illegal races then a driver for heists !) but also because she is terribly human with her doubts and everything >< And I loved her sweet romancewith Che, against the backdrop of an arranged marriage but also their mentor/student relationship !

The plot was also great, with the threats against Sass linked to her job (I loved having a series with the yakuzas and the Triads !!)

In short, a sexy and fun romance that I devoured !

In between the holidays and moving it took me to long to read this book. But just cause it took me sometime didn't mean I didn't love it. It was just as good as the first one. I loved how Che waited when Saskia was younger he never took advantage of her. So far he makes the number one spot in my favorite golden Glades Henchmen H.

Once they get back together, you can just tell they want each other but are to scared to make that move. But once they do it is perfect.

I wish they Saskia realized that she had a home there a lot sooner then she did, but I also can understand why it took her so long. The face the Che was so patient made this whole book. Can you tell I love him...
