Rowe

Henchmen MC: Next Generation #4

by Jessica Gadziala

She was just going to stay away from him.

That was the only way to deal with the outcome

of a particularly devastating conversation with the guy

she’d been crushing on for years.



She’d been doing okay, even.

Well, not okay. But coping.



But when a bad situation hit the club, and a cousin

called in a favor, Billie found herself face-to-face with

someone she thought she never wanted to see again.

ღ Rowe & Billie’s story



It's no secret that I truly L💕veツ and how obsessed I am with Jessica’s books. But damn Jessica, you had me wanting to cry so hard from Rowe & Billie’s story. My heart went out to Rowe and his struggles

For those of you that don’t remember who Billie’s parents are (Peyton and Sugar) honestly that should tell you everything about Billie in my opinion, but then course some might not agree with that statement

So, I guess Billie wasn’t as over-the-top like her mom (Peyton) with her mermaid-colored hair, tattoos, and piercings. The woman still drove a hearse for fuc%k’s sake…
oh, but Billie, had her naked potluck dinners and screaming yoga classes, trust me that’s few of the things that Billie had going in her life… Let me just leave you with the fact that her cousins call her the ‘Hippie sex goddess’


Rowe-There weren’t a lot of rules in the club.
No drugs.
You treated women with respect.
And you kept your fu$king hands off the princesses.

Something happens between Rowe & Billie a few months back and they just seem to avoid each other ever since than. a life changing event puts them back together

Overall, Let’s just say that there is so much going on in this book, there are also some people that come into this book that you Definitely want to know more about, and others you are just dying to know more about ….. I can see few different potential spin off coming up in the future just from this one juicy book

When the guy you have (very obviously) wanted for a long, long time tells you in no uncertain terms to stop, that “it’s getting sad,” what do you do? If you’re Billie, the love-hippie Henchmen princess, you try your best to avoid avoid avoid. That kind of scathing set-down HURTS. While other methods, like cursing yoga and scream therapy might have worked in the past, this deep injury to her heart is something Billie has never experienced before. When Rowe is injured during a run gone badly wrong, though, his MC brothers force him to try Billie’s alternative pain relief remedies, bringing her back, face to face with the man who rejected her. No spoilers, but holy cow, Jessica Gadziala knows how to tell a freaking great story!

Such an amazing book! Billie and Rowe broke my heart for awhile. She seems so strong, and always cheery and fun. The reader gets to see her inner workings and how deep her feelings actually go. Rowe has to overcome a potentially debilitating injury. The club turned to Billie to help him heal. This story has suspense, and also e action. But it is more about healing. I loved it! I couldn’t put it down!

[Bozena · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's no secret that I truly wholeheartedly love Jessica's books.
This book is another proof why.
It's an amazing, action-packed, fast-paced romantic book with the unique sarcastic humor that accompanies all her books.

Billie, is a hippie Henchmen princess, that love life and everyone in her "club family".
Her work as a yoga-tantric sex-reiki etc. instructor is not only her job but also her life motto.
Her positive attitude is only throw out of balance after a very harsh
rejection from her years-long crush Rowe.
What will normally flow off her, like the negative energy she has learned to shake off easily, becomes a problem.
Her equilibrium can't free itself from the rejection even with the hardest breathing exercises 🤭

Rowe didn't grow up in the "club family" like most of the MC members.
His life was not accompanied by the family bond that the others seem to have.
He's an outsider and has to follow club rules.
One of the rules is, the MC princesses are off-limit.
But how do you avoid a club princess who doesn't want to be avoided? How do you do it when you yourself don't want to?

I love this book 😍❤
It's a must-read page-turner for all MC romance lovers.

Yet another good read. This series is every bit as good as the original and I’m loving it.
I’m hoping for Hopes book next.

[Cindy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Its back breaking what brings Billie and Rowe together.. Literally.

Rowe breaks his back after falling off a roof when they were ambushed on a drop. The pain and limited mobility is taking a huge toll on him and his best friend Malc begs Billie to help him not knowing that months before Rowe broke Billie's heart with his rejection of her affections.

Billie is the daughter of Sugar and Peyton.. Peyton was such an over the top character her daughter didn't have a chance :) One of Billie's things is natural medicine which is what she uses on Rowe's back to help with the pain and mobility. I tell you these second generation daughters are something else. Lots of crazy moments with they get together.

Lots of other things going on.. Billie has a sick and perverted stalker and Henchman are trying to figure out who ambushed their guys. Another great addition to the series full of humor, family and friendships and sexy times..

[Snow · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was just an okay reading material for me...
I got a bit overwhelmed with all the secondary (already known) characters that were just a tad bit too much of a push to actually enjoy the "real" story between Billie and Rowe, which was based on a starting line up by the said male...

And of course, he ruined it, and then she got offended and she avoids him until his back injury when she's urged to help him with to ease the pain with her homemade salves and tonics, and herb teas...

And yeah, they slowly bond through the touch and essence BUT still she, being a wordly, spiritual woman aware of her sexuality and sensuality and she's free and secure in those aspects, then it's a bit stretched that just one sentence from a guy (okay, a guy that she wanted and liked for a long time) can "ruin" all her personality views about herself...

I mean, really?! Turns out we are so shallow and insecure creatures after all, huh?!

Stop what you are doing and read this book. It is so good and gives you little peeks at what is to come. JG magical worlds she creates are just getting better with each book!!

[Taylor · Rating 5 out of 5]

When an injury brings Rowe’s life to a standstill the club decides maybe their resident hippie can do something to help. After all her “woo woo” medicine can’t hurt. But for Rowe maybe being around Billie without having her is harder than dealing with a broken back.

I love Billie!! She is my new spirit animal!!

She is sweet, accepting, including of everyone! She has to be an empath! I love her view on sexuality!! She’s just 😍😍

Rowe is a man…a man who feels indebted to his club so when he falls for one of the club princesses…well we know how men can be😂


Everytime I read a Henchmen novel and now a Henchmen Next Gen it’s like coming home 🥰

I loved this book. It was insane but so much fun. I love Rowe, and claim him as my new boyfriend. He is perfect for Billie. Billie is nuts and so frick'n funny. I love this series and look forward to getting more from the other characters. This series is the younger generation but I also love the appearances of the OG which are my absolute favorite.

3 stars

Billie was a character for sure - like mother like daughter applies here.

Rowe - he was there. And that’s the problem. I was as interested in his character as I’d be in reading a math textbook right now. He was just so bland and flavourless.

I also didn’t understand Billie’s years long obsession with him. That girl was so full of life and adventure and everything crazy under the sun and he was as adventurous as a house plant.

I didn’t see it - it didn’t make any sense to me.

I am excited for Dezi, Slash and Voss. Can’t wait to read their books and I hope they live up to the sky high expectations I have.

Whatever i read JG's books are my comfort food.....
Loved Rowe and Billie

[Kodie Mackay · Rating 5 out of 5]

Rowe is a good man with good intentions but he's a man. That of course means he goes about things the wrong way. Stubborn, prideful and broody is just a few things that could be used to describe our scrumptious wounded man. But he's also so sweet, genuinely caring and tender with our precious flower child Billie. The man has layers. He has depth. He under all the badass longs for that once in a life time kind if love with babies, the house and the crazy. I mean.. what a man.

Billie is a cloud of sweet and sunshine that I could not get enough of. Her genuine always accepting non judgmental self is truly impossible not to love. It's what makes her being hurt, hard to get over. She's an angel. A multitasking multitalented hippy vibing angel.

Their journey starts off questionable and curious because we already know Billie has been dodging the club and something had happened. We just didn't know what..
So for a minute things were TENSE.

HOWEVER.... Jessie always turns it around and Billie and Rowe were always meant to be. Their undeniable chemistry and natural comfort with one another could be felt through the pages. That paired with the endless banter, hilarious bickering and outrageous shenanigans makes for one hell of a journey. Oh and let's not forget the huge personalities both old and new that grace the pages and leave us curious and wanting more. It's one giant dysfunctional family that's ever growing and evolving. My favourite kind.

Jessica never fails to grip my attention and lock me into her stories. I always feel, I always love and I'm always left wanting. She's like my comfort blanket in books.
Now obviously I'm left pinning after mystery characters and so freaking excited for the future of this series!!.

I enjoyed this one. I loved Billie, the heroine, and her attitude toward her body and her sexuality. In my opinion, Rowe should have been made to grovel more for the way he hurt her, but in the end it worked out.

Jessica Gadziala you are awesome 👏👏👏 I love you and I will buy you as many 🐓🐓 as you want!
I love that Peyton did not overshadow Billie ❤❤she became her own woman same but entirely different from her infamous mother.
The cameo of Finn is awesome!
Rowe is a dick but in the end you will end of loving him once you get to know him
Dezi as usual stole some of the spotlight but I can't wait to see the girl that will finally make him behave??
Some new characters to look forward Voss made me curious with his Viking looks and Valen being back to town is bringing some action to the coffee shop
I am still curious about Seth how he will try to find his own path
Vi, Hope and Luna - cant wait for them to fall in love as well
Great to see Dani as a wife to Fallon
I love how JG can make you feel a part of the BIG and CRAZY Henchmen family!

5 Rowe Stars

Rowe is the fourth book in the Henchmen MC: Next Generation series by Jessica Gadziala. We have Billie who is love, carefree spirit who likes to help people. Rowe is Malcom’s best friend and fellow brother. Although he's not new he knows he's not as in as some of the men he calls his brothers.

Rowe ends up getting shot and falls from a building fractioning his back and feeling the pain and losing hope he gives Billie's creams and potions a go. But he needs to stay away as she is one of the club princesses.

I didn't think it would happen but it did I was so drawn to Billie and her magic potion’s! She was such a pleasure to read. I felt her hidden insecurities and it gave me all the feels. This book really hooked me in and I loved every moment of it. I literally couldn't put it down and read it in one sitting. As always the secondary characters are amazing and we are introduced to many new faces for more in this great series. I highly recommend!

“People looked at me and saw love and light and my carefree demeanor. What they didn’t see was just how hard I’d needed to fight through my own issues to get to that place.”

Mid to late 20 something year old Billie has been head over heels for a patched in Henchmen brother for several years. Pretty much everyone knows it, supports it, but the object of her affection rejects her at every turn. The latest has her thinking that letting go of mid to late 20 something year old is the only option left. But then a run turns bad, he’s badly injured, and a cousin calls in a favor. Never to turn her back on family has her sharing space with the man that crushed her months before. Then toss a stalker into the mix and things begin to get interesting.

Who decided all the princesses are off limits? Seriously though. Yes, the Henchmen men are ruthless and protective, but where did the stubborn, sassy, strong women that are beside them (not behind) go? I cannot see them going along with it. The princesses should be left to make their own choices. Okay… I’m finished with my rant. I felt this way since book #1 and it couldn’t be contained a moment longer.

Cliffhanger – no (book #4 in series)
POV - Billie & Rowe

[Megan Mary · Rating 5 out of 5]

Billie and Rowe... GAH! These two will absolutely break your heart and then put it back together piece by piece. Billie is probably one of my favorite characters thus far in the next gen... her optimism, her quirkiness, the perfect blend of her parents. & Rowe oh sweet stubborn Rowe! The set of circumstances that throws these two together... all the action & twists. & once again Jessica Gadziala delivers one heck of a read ❤

[ImABookAddict · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not my fave

I love Jessica Gadziala. She writes amazing stories and releases them so fast. She usually gets me out of a book slump. But this one didn't have the same effect. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood. But I wasn't a big fan of Billie and Rowe. Malc and Holly were more my style. Still a good read, but not one of her bests imo.

[Gloria · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved the story between Rowe and Billie. They always felt something for each other since day 1. Jessica writes where you are involved with the lives of these two. And you are hoping they get together. Jessica is also writes the BEST epilogues! Swoon!

[Bette Hansen · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ok read

Well written with interesting and somewhat bizarre characters. Just not really a favorite of mine. Love the series though and will be back for more.

[Bec · Rating 4 out of 5]

Rowe brutally set Billie straight on her crush on him...she didn’t quite get over it. It was mayhem throughout what with all the tantric sex classes, massages, lotions and potions. Billie is very confident in who she is the daughter of Sugar and Peyton (loved their book). Rowe is Malcs bestie and introduced to the club through him.

Their story became straight forward enough once Rowe is injured and needs her help. It’s sad that it took that circumstance for it to happen. I love TDOTOG gang they are fun and all have their various strengths. Even Billie under fire can hold her own. Passive not helpless is what her mum says.

The stalker angle started kinda funny in that Billie just thought someone wasn’t expressing themselves correctly by leaving parcels at her door. I just love the Henchmen 🙃

I’ve always enjoyed Billie’s character in the prior Navesink books. Her romance with Rowe is a sweet addition to the Next Generation Henchmen books.

Happy for Billie and Rowe

I am so glad that Jessica, the author, got to give Billie her own book. I have red this Navesbank series and I am a true fan. I started with Reign and Summer and haven’t looked back. I like the OG’s and the new up-in-comings. I wondered all throughout the other books what was up with Rowe and why he kept shutting down Billie. She knew that Rowe was the one for her I get it, the reason. Rowe has a series event happen during an ambush with his MC Brothers. Rowe was shot and injured and he is fighting his own recovery. Malcolm, as his BFF, to take Rowe to Billie. She has a great business going with her wholistic approach. Due to something Rowe said to her, she has been scarce lately. Now having Rowe back, it’s a positive. Read Only.

Alot to take in..

Between the open sex talk and sexy characters it was a amazing read. It gives you just enough of a sensation to want more.

Loved Rowe and Billie!

I totally enjoyed this story! Both of the main characters were great. This particular book was written more about them and their relationship after Rowe’s injury which was a nice change from most MC stories. The group of women were hilarious together too! I want Vi to get her man now! I’m also curious about what is happening with Hope’s job??? And don’t get me started on the pussy earrings! Too funny…I want some now.

Great writing!

I get so excited every time we get another next generation book!


I'm loving how exiting this series is. Very action packed.
This story line did not disappoint in comparison to the others.
A new threat is introduced into the series and then the main drama is dealing with a stalker for Billie.
Extremely entertaining and heart pounding.

Billie wasn't my favorite h and Rowe wasn't my favorite H, but I still enjoyed them together and I still loved the story line. Billie was not my type of h with the hippie vibe and I think I expected her to be more like Peyton, so I set myself up for that let down.
Rowe was also just meh for me, I don't really know why.
Probably just that both characters love the MC people, but aren't very much into the lifestyle.


That said, the story line is amazing and seeing the OG characters as well as the new next gen characters was the absolute best!
Really looking forward to Dezi, more on Valen, and Hope's book!
I can't wait for more.
