A chance encounter on a dark road makes him question what he had sworn off forever – a relationship.
A night of passion and lust causes them to question everything. Is City the knight in shining armor to the damsel in distress? Can their relationship survive when a fantasy falls apart and a secret comes out that changes everything?
This is the first book in the Men of Inked Series.
Review:
Holy Smokes I loved this book!!!! I couldn't put it down!!! Suzy is a crazy
OCD lady, but she is so sweet and smart and she tries so hard to branch out and
try new things. A for effort lol. She actually surprises me a lot throughout
the story. She knows exactly what she wants out of life, or at least what she
thinks she wants. That is, until she meets City. This wasn't your everyday meeting. I like to think it was fate lol. Something unexplainable pushed these two together... Oh yeah, that would be the awesomely wonderful Chelle Bliss! Love this author! She keeps surpising me!
City has a new home in my heart! He is all man! He's sexy, muscular, and full of tattoos! Love it! He's an artist and really good at what he does. I absolutely have to read Throttled now lol. But don't worry, I won't be skipping Hook Me. That's next! 5 Stars!!
Hook Me (Book 2)
Synopsis:
Michael Gallo found his calling in life – he wants to kick ass. He works at Inked as a piercer, but spends his mornings training and dreaming of winning an UFC championship.

Dr. Mia Greco is dedicated to saving lives and helping those less fortunate. She doesn’t have time to meet Mr. Right with her busy schedule. She buries herself in her work and helping humanity. Fate steps in and sweeps the carpet out from under her. She tries to deny the pull to him, a man that uses his fists for gain, but the universe won’t let her walk away so easy and Michael isn’t one to take no for an answer.
He has a secret that may rip them apart. There are forces bigger than them at work; drawing them in and making their worlds collide – not letting either one of them walk away.
Review:
Holy Mother Of All Things Sexy!!! I think I am in love! Yes,
I am aware that these are fictional characters… But who cares!!!! Michael Gallo
is perfection!!! Okay, so if it isn’t obvious, I am loving this series. I just
can’t form the right words for it. This book is about fate pushing two people
together. Michael is a professional fighter and absolutely loves what he does
for a living. Mia is a doctor and is completely against violence. When these
two first meet, Michael, who is undefeated, is needing some mending. He’d just
got out of a fight and was hurting kinda bad. When he first sees her, he
decides he needs to pursue her, but when she leaves the room she never comes
back. She just blew him off!!! So after a while, they run into each other
again. Literally, he knocked her on her ass! Not intentionally though J After that, Michael is relentless; he just
has to have her!!! After getting the girl, Michael is deliriously happy and
getting prepared for a huge fight. Just when things were getting on track, in
walks CRAZY! Tammy is certifiable; like literally psychotic! She meant nothing
to Michael. She was just a bump in the night for him and they only bumped
twice! Meanwhile, Tammy swears they are meant to be together and when she can’t
hang on to him, she pulls out the big guns!!! WHO DOES THAT!!! And while his
brother (City) is in the hospital from an accident and they don’t know if he’s
going to make it or not! I know, I know, you just want to know what she did
huh??? You should read it then! J Mia leaves
Michael and tells him she wants nothing to do with him and that he needed to do
the right thing. Well Michael refuses to give up on Mia. He calls and calls and
texts and texts Mia, but gets no response. Just when he’s about to just give
up, he’s given some good advice and grabs his balls and handles this like a
real Gallo man! He goes to get his woman! I just love a persistent man!! But can
he convince her that Crazy Tammy is delusional? Does he have enough evidence to
get her to believe him and come back to him? I mean, fate pushed them together
so far. Maybe it’ll happen again! ;) This
was by far, my most favorite book of the series. 5 stars!

Review:
Just Awwwwwwwww!!!! Is all I can really say! It was so beautiful!
But I have to say, I was so disappointed in City! He was my favorite! I just
couldn’t believe how he just lost it like that L. Poor Suzy did not
deserve that. I just sat there with my mouth hanging wide open until the next
morning (in the book). Suzy shoulda made him squirm longer! Alcohol is not an
excuse for the things he said. I’m so mad at him… well not anymore... But I
was! This book is about Suzy and City’s life changes. Marriage! Oh and how can
I forget about the little surprise at the end ;)
Mrs. G, (my favorite character! She’s a boss) finally gets
her wish! All that nagging paid off! I just loved this book, but I do have to
say that I liked all the other books in this series more. 4 Stars!
Resist Me (Book 3)

Review:
Yes! Izzy’s story! Izzy is a bad ass chick that doesn’t take
shit from anyone, especially not men! Her brother’s have been crazy protective
of her all of her life and they taught her all she needs to know to protect herself.
Izzy gets mixed up in some bad stuff when she goes to bike week with her friend
Flash. He’s prospecting for a MC. He takes Izzy with him when he goes to meet
up with the guys from the club. Izzy is uncomfortable, but she gets the shock
of a lifetime while she is there. Izzy wanted to leave but wasn’t allowed, and
Flash all of a sudden turns in to a punk sissy and can’t help her. I’m not
going to lie, I was terrified for Iz! I wanted to reach in the book and punch
Flash in the face! I know the circumstances of it and all, but it doesn’t make
it easier. Izzy is able to get away with the help of one of her brothers, and
ends up in the company of the one person she should run far away from, James,
her brother’s partner, and her one night stand from City and Suzy’s wedding.
James decides that he has to have Izzy. He knows she’s going
to fight him all the way, but he can handle it, can’t he? I wish Izzy could see
how perfect James is for her. I didn’t really like James at first. I felt he
was an arrogant asshole…. And he is! But he’s the right fit for Izzy. She just
refuses to see it. After a while, she starts to grow fond of him and then
something bad happens. James and Thomas are so f’n awesome!!! I absolutely love
this team! I just can’t wait for Thomas’ book to come out! And I just NEED to
know where Izzy and James’ story goes! 5 Stars!!!!
