Tamara Gallo knew she was missing something in life. Looking for adventure, she takes off, searching for a hot biker who can deliver more than a good time. But once inside the Disciples Compound, she may get more than she bargained for.

But can the bossy biker tame the wild child, or will she be too much for even him to handle?

Wildfire is the third book in the new steamy MC romance Men of Inked: Heatwave series by Chelle Bliss

REVIEW: Wildfire begins with Tamara Gallo showing up at the Disciples compound to see one of the members, Crow, whom she met in the previous book. She did not get the reception she thought she would. When he sees Tamara, he blows her off in spectacular fashion. As he tells her to leave, Morris, the Disciples’ leader, appears at the door and informs Tamara that her family is worried sick about her and the she will not leave on her own. He brings her into the compound to see about getting her home safely. Tamara sits at the bar, where a very good looking member, Mammoth, gets her a drink. Morris tells Mammoth to look after her as he attends to Club business.

While Tamara sips her drink, she and Mammoth talk, and flirt. It doesn’t take long for the Club to go on lockdown and Mammoth is tasked with keeping her safe. Of course, sparks fly and they share some intimate moments together during said lockdown. Once the all-clear is given, Mammoth is the one who decides that he will be the one to get her home safely. Even though he has been told to keep his hands off of her by Morris, Mammoth finds himself wondering, for the first time, what if he can settle down and have someone for himself.

Once Mammoth and Tamara arrive at her grandparents’ place, things go a little awry when James sees Mammoth. Seems the two of them know each other from a club that they have frequented…..and not a motorcycle club. As for the rest of the Gallo family, especially the women, they welcomed Mammoth with open arms. When Mammoth and Tamara decide that they will be together, as in long term, they know it’ll be hard for a little while. Tamara is still in college and he has to deal with the fact that he is a full member of the Disciples. There are a few bumps along the way, but the two of them know what they want………and that’s each other.

Wildfire is another awesome story by Bliss. The chemistry between Tamara and Mammoth jumps off the page. I love the fact that Tamara is feisty and knows what she wants, and what she doesn’t. (She is a Gallo through and through!) Mammoth is a character that I didn’t see coming. I love his backstory and his willingness to do anything for those he loves. All of the Gallos show up in this one, which is always a good thing. The interactions are real and leave you wanting more. If you’ve not read Bliss, you are truly missing out. Her world building is second to none. I may have said this before, but I’ll say it again: I was hooked after one book and am so glad that I get to read what she writes and shares with us. I haven’t been this excited about a “new to me” author in a very long time. If you like your stories with a little humor, a lot of hotness and amazing characters, this is the series for you. Well done, Chelle Bliss!!! Very, very well done!

•••••••••

REVIEW:Burn begins where Flame left off………..Someone had broken into Gigi’s apartment and attacked her, only to find out when Pike storms in that it is none other than his dad, Colton Moore. Shocked to their core, Gigi’s family is called in to take care of the intruder whom the Feds have been looking for.

Pike’s life growing up was not an easy one. He left as soon as he was old enough and never looked back. He kept in touch with his grandmother some, but not his little brother nor his mother. When Pike learns that tragedy has struck back in Tennessee, he makes the hard decision to head back to Tennessee to help with the arrangements. Gigi informs him that she is going with him, to which he strongly disagrees, but Gigi being Gigi and all, they head out. Once the arrive, Pike’s little brother, Austin, is so glad to see him. It’s when the two of them spend some time together talking, Pike discovers the truth about what happened and what Austin had to endure. With Pike being all Austin has left, other than his aging grandmother, the not so easy decision is made by Pike to take Austin home with him.

Once Pike, Gigi and Austin get back home and head over to Gigi’s family’s home, Austin overhears Pike expressing his frustration with the whole situation and takes off. Once apologies are made, Pike thinks that, finally, his life may straighten out and the bad stuff is over. However, their father’s criminal activities seem to have no end in sight as Pike and the Gallos are targeted by someone wanting what Colton Moore has hidden that is worth a fortune. Pike knows one thing: he will never let anything happen to Gigi or a member of her family, which puts his life on the line….

Burn is another amazing story written by Chelle Bliss. Pike and Gigi are great together and I loved their interactions. I love that Gigi is her own person and that Pike lets her be just that. And, once again, it’s Pike who just breaks your heart. Once deeply buried memories resurface for him, your heart will break even more. But, it’s the decisions he makes regarding his life that makes him one of my favorite characters I’ve read in a very long time. Add to all of this the Gallo family, and you find yourself not being able to turn the pages fast enough. The world that Bliss has created will suck you in from the very beginning. Well done, Chelle Bliss!! Very, very, very well done!!!

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 17, 2019

Could you love a man surrounded by danger?
Gigi Gallo’s childhood was filled with the roar of a motorcycle and the hum of a tattoo gun. Fresh out of college, she’s about to start working at her family’s tattoo studio — Inked. But when she shows up the first day, she never expects to run into someone tall, dark, and totally sexy from her not-so-innocent past.

Pike Moore is a bossy biker with a cocky attitude and an even bigger ego. He came to Inked to start over. New town. New job. New roots. None of that included coming face-to-face with the hot chick who spent a week in his bed before she vanished without a trace.

But when Pike’s dark family history catches up with him, can he stop Gigi from being caught in the crossfire?

Flame is book one in the Men of Inked: Heatwave series by USA Today bestselling author Chelle Bliss. The Men of Inked: Heatwave series features steamy romance, hot heroes, and strong women.

Vickie’s REVIEW: Flame begins with Gigi Gallo and some friends on spring break in Daytona, even though she knew she would be in big trouble with her family if they found out. As Gigi and her friends are sitting at a bar, there is a very handsome stranger who keeps looking across the bar at her. One of her friends keeps giving her a heard time about her being too scared to approach him. After a little liquid courage, Gigi approaches the guy and they head back to his hotel.

Pike Moore was in Daytona to catch up with some old friends who were attending Bikers’ Week. Once he and the pretty girl from the bar make it to his hotel room, it doesn’t take him long to see that she’s had a bit too much liquid courage, especially once she passes out. Being the good guy that he is, he sleeps on the couch and lets her sleep it off. When Gigi wakes the next morning, she really can’t remember much. When Pike assures her that nothing happened, they head out to have a little breakfast. They decide that the attraction they feel for each other should be explored, which leads to a few wild days together. However, when Gigi heads out for ‘coffee’ one morning, she never looks back, which leaves Pike wondering just what in the hell happened.

Flashing forward a year or so and Gigi is super excited to have finished college and finally being able to work in the family’s tattoo shop. When she goes in for her first day of work, to say she’s stunned to see none other than Pike Moore standing there, would be the understatement of the century. Unbeknownst to her, Pike was a tattoo artist who had been wanting to work for her family’s shop for years, and today was his first day as well. Gigi is antagonistic to Pike at first, but she can’t fight the attraction, even though she knows her dad will not be happy once the truth comes out. And, boy, does it come out.

Flame is an awesome book. The reader is drawn in from the very first word. Gigi and Pike are both amazingly written. Their chemistry is off the charts. I love Gigi’s spirit and her loyalty to her family. But, I also love her stubborn and independent streak. Pike’s easy-going nature hides a past that has left him searching for someone and a place to call his own. His back story is what it is, until he finds out that there was more to it and puts him and Gigi in danger. Gigi’s family, the Gallos, don’t let anyone or anything threaten those they consider family, and fortunately for Pike, he’s in that circle now. I fell in love immediately with the Gallos. (Full disclosure: I had never read this author before, so when I finished this book I went and looked her up. Imagine my surprise when I found out that there is a whole series about the Gallos! It took me about five minutes to acquire everything she has written up to Flame.) The world that Bliss has built with the people of Inked is second to none. Her writing style doesn’t waste words and everything you read is pertinent to the story. It’s been a long time since I’ve been so excited about finding a new (to me) author. I don’t care what type of romance reader you are, you will absolutely fall in love with Gigi and Pike and the entire Gallo family. I can’t wait for the next installment. Well done, Chelle Bliss! Very, very, very well done!

_________

Julie’s Review Joey/City’s (book THROTTLE ME) daughter Gigi has all grown up she’s aiming to take her place in the family business. Tattooing is all she’s ever known, and she’s excited to start the next chapter in her life. But she didn’t expect to run into past…..

Pike can’t believe his eyes, after spending a passionate week with this woman, she just disappears on him, the last place he thought he’d see her was at his new job. And wouldn’t you know it, she’s the bosses daughter!!! Out of his league and if he wants to keep his job, then she needs to stay that way…..

But the chemistry that drew them together, is still at work, they can’t keep their eyes or minds off of each other. It’s only a matter of time….. But time maybe running out. Pike’s past has caught up with him, and caught up Gigi too, he never wanted to hurt her, but things don’t always work out that way.

What the hell has Pike brought to town? It could get messy, and people could get hurt. Can Gigi forgive Pike? Or will she watch him ride out of town forever? And what will Pike think when he finds out her real “age”!!

This book is a spin off from her “The Men of Inked” you don’t need to read the precious series to enjoy this new series. But I might have to go and have a look at the old series ?

I liked the chemistry between Gigi and Pike. I also liked the fact the series is a next generation series. Very descriptive, really well written. I have several tattoos so I know how the process works, so it was nice to read.
