But there’s something about the woman who radiates sunshine that makes her impossible to ignore. And the harder he pushes her away, the harder she comes.

REVIEW: The Men of Ink are back with the Heatwave book ten, and this one hits all the feels. As I always do, I recommend reading the series in order, but it can be read as a standalone.

Nevin Walsh is out of prison and breathing fresh air again, after serving time for a crime he didn’t commit. Things are not as he remembers, people have moved on, family is gone, and the places he thought would never change are harder than ever to recognize. He has resigned himself to his new life, but Luna has other plans. Plans that will test his hard earned patience.

Luna is a Gallo, and we all know what that means. With a promise to Nevin’s brother Ian; her very own best friend, she is determined to help Nevin assimilate to a life of freedom. Nevin is all doom and gloom, and Luna is a happy ray of sunshine. They butt heads at every turn, but that also leads them to their connection and chemistry. With a future now brighter than he ever thought possible again, can Nevin let go of the pain of his past and move on?

I adore the grumpy sunshine trope!! It was such an adventure. Reading as Luna broke down the walls that Nevin had built to protect himself, to see his vulnerability and hope. Nevin wants Luna more than his next breath before he finally gives into her charms. When they finally make a breakthrough, Luna is out for blood when she decides that Nevin is it for her. Nevin thinks he is alone in the world, with no one on his side anymore, little does he know that Luna is not only on his side, but so is the rest of the Gallo clan.

I have loved the Gallo series so much and I am always going back to read my favorites. Nevin and Luna have definitely cracked the top five. Chelle Bliss’ track record of amazing books is still intact, and I can’t wait to see what comes next.
