MAZE:In concept, the plan was simple: prospect at The Henchmen MC. In practice, however, it was anything but. One, because I was a woman. Two, because it was a brotherhood. And three, because Repo, the man who was in charge of making my life a living hell until I quit or screwed up enough to get thrown out, also happened to be the hottest guy I had come across in ages.The problem was, if I didn’t … problem was, if I didn’t get in and stay in despite the hazing from the members and the undeniable attraction building between me and Repo, there was a very good chance I would be found by them. And if I was found by them, well, I was dead.
REPO:
How the hell was I supposed to get her out of the MC when, one, I didn’t agree with the fact that because she was a woman, she had no place in The Henchmen. Two, because she was strong, smart, capable, and determined to get a patch. And three, because, well, I wanted her.
The problem was, if I didn’t get her kicked out, I would be screwing up a job that was important to the prez. But the problem was also that if I kicked her out, there was no way I was going to get a shot with her.
I didn’t know, however, that the real problem was a lot more complicated and a lot more dangerous than disappointing my boss or not getting laid… the problem was Maze had demons and they were hot on her trail…

Maze is a badass! Just like all the other badass women I’ve read so far in the Navesink Bank universe! I love that about Jessica’s books! I loved the idea behind the story. A women trying to become a patched in member of the Henchmen MC. And I’ve wanted this book since we met Repo in Reign! Those two were a perfect match!
I knew going into this book that I wasn’t going to love it. I knew I wouldn’t like it as much as the other stories I’ve read from this author. I knew this because of one reason…
It was going to be ridiculous!
Why?
Aw man, I’m probably going to get a lot of hate for this, but I. don’t. really. care.
This story was about a woman named Maze and how she decides to prospect with The Henchmen MC in order to garner some sort of safety. Instead of coming to them for protection, she deceives them and plays like she’s just one of the guys.
Neither a wine glass nor a shot glass was going to make this story easier to swallow. Bring me some damn bottles!
So here are a few things that made me laugh:
Maze, who was a self-proclaimed naive and innocent girl, was bamboozled her whole life. Mom was a con artist, boyfriend owned a chop shop, and her latest employer is a contributor to human trafficking. After her attempts to do right put her life in danger, she finds K, who proceeds to equip her with unrealistic skills, building her into a bootleg version of Black Widow.
When Maze appeared out of nowhere on her bike, she approached The Henchmen MC about prospecting. No one knows her. No one knows what she’s capable of. But when Reign hesitates like any rational person would, Lo gets upset, storms off, and rallies the troops (aka the women who the men fell in love with). They proceed to rant and rage about equal rights and opportunities and blah blah blah and… Reign CAVES!!
Me? Incredulous? Noooooooo.
It’s totally believable that the women who don’t belong to the MC have any say. Absolutely credible! A big, bad biker who has killed countless people is cowed by the women who wouldn’t even be here if the men hadn’t saved them. Told you I’d be making a few enemies
After the absurdity of her introduction, the men put her through the wringer – specifically Repo. See, Repo knows everything about loyalty and he’s as loyal as they come. Reign told him to drive her out and that’s exactly what he intends to do. So what if he wants her baddddd? So what if she also wants him? He’s got a job to do. However, Maze has him questioning everything.
There was some drama involving what Maze was hiding from and a truly beautiful epilogue. Honestly, that epilogue is one of the only things to save this story for me. Between Maze finding a problem with everything people said to her or told her to do like she wasn’t prospecting for a BIKER CLUB and her need to be upset that Renny and Duke weren’t suffering like she was (although they were there for longer than her and she has no idea what they went through before she came along), I almost called it quits. Which irked me because I promised myself to read all the books in the Navesink series. If it weren’t for Repo and his sweet, sweet heart, I don’t know if I would have made it to the end in order to find that especially cute epilogue.
Ah well, I’m still going to read the other books. Right after a break.
I already knew before going into this book I was going to love it but having the “girls club” of Lo, Janie and Summer stand up to the boys to let Maze into the MC and then K playing such a huge part in this book – my cup runneth over…
This author out does herself with each new book she puts out. The blending of so many characters from other series into each of her books just makes me one happy woman. Maze was as kick ass as all the other women Jessica writes and Repo – yum yum he was perfect.
Loved Maze and Repo’s story and cannot wait for whoever is next..

“You’re kinda cute when you’re offended.”
“You’re kind of an asshole all the time.”
Jessica Gadziala is back with Repo and Maze’s story, She did not let me down! I love Repo I had such a lump in my throat for him in parts of this book and I just loved the determination Maze has to succeed after she’s knocked down. Repo is probably my favorite Mc Man in this series so far.
Jessica out does herself with each new book she puts out, Leaving me wanting more and more.
Just love Jessica Gadziala stories and I loved Repo and Maze they fit so well together, the story line of Maze being part of the MC was unusual which made this story even better plus we learned alittle more about Duke and Renny which are interesting characters. K has been mentioned in Dark Mysteries (Dark series) and some of the other characters Breaker, Shooter, Paine and their ladies are from the Savage series.
Maze took what happen to her and became a bad ass women that I would love to have as a friend. Repo is as loyal as they come and is just what Maze needs.
