Fabulous listening

Gigi and Pike had me smiling so wide during their Daytona days, gosh, that was fun.

This book was riveting, funny, full of suspense and the tension was thick. There was plenty of drama, lots of love, as well as a healthy amount of character loathing on my part - how someone like Pike was surrounded by so much trouble absolutely stumped me.

I’m definitely looking forward to listening to more of this series, Samantha and Jason absolutely nailed the audio.

Gigi and Pike... An amazing couple and a great start for the Men Of Inked series.

Gigi the innocent girl and Pike the badass biker.

The book is exciting from the beginning on.

And you immediately fall in love with the whole Gallo-family.

ALPHA PROTECTIVE HERO

A good spin-off, revisiting all the Gallo family brought back some good memories.

Gigi is the eldest daughter of one of the stubborn protective alpha Gallo men.

When Gigi sneaks off to bike week when she is in college and ends the night with a one-night stand she never expects to see the guy again who rocked her world. A year on and Gigi has now finished college and is about to start her job in her dad's tattoo shop as a qualified tattoo artist and she shares the day with another new starter.

In walks Pike, yep, the same guy who rocked her world a year ago. What will daddy have to say about that when he finds out?
For starters, he can never know or Pike who has waited years to work at this particular tattoo shop with its great reputation may lose his job.

If you love alpha protective heroes you will love Pike. In fact, he is the double of Gigi's daddy.

I thought Gigi came off as a spoiled immature child at times, so most of the enjoyment I got from the characters was mainly from Pike and the other characters in the story. I did enjoy it and would definitely read more in this series. There were dips where I had eye rolls but there were also hot and dangerous scenes in the plot that kept me turning the pages.

A good spin-off, more hotness, more alpha, what more could you ask for.

Loved it!

I loved this first book in this new Men of Inked Heatwave series, the characters and story kept me listening, loved it! I’m looking forward to listening to book 2!

Who doesn't love a tattooed, bearded, bike-riding hero?
Pike is one of those sexy book boyfriends you can't get out of your mind and the steamy scenes just imbed him into your mind even deeper.
I really enjoyed this listen especially the suspense added to it.
My first Chelle book but will not be my last!

Gigi and Pike!

Gigi has recently finished college and is excited to begin the next stage of her life. She is determined to show her overprotective family that she is strong and independent and the first step is to be a success when she starts working at the family tattoo shop.

Pike has a painful past and he would like to ensure that’s where it stays. It is a dream come true to start working at the tattoo shop Ink but he worries that it may all go up in smoke when he finds out the boss’s daughter is Gigi, the woman he spent a steamy weekend with 15 months earlier and hasn’t forgotten.

Although they try to deny it the chemistry and connection between them is stronger than ever and Pike is determined to claim her as his but when his past becomes his present will Gigi become a casualty?

Witty banter, heat and emotion all combine into a compelling storyline. It was great to not only watch the relationship between Pike and Gigi unfold but to catch up with Gallos as well. The inflections and nuances of the narrators were exactly how I pictured the characters.

All the Heat and Angst in this one!

There is something about the world of Inked that Chelle Bliss has created that instantly sucks me in. Pike and Gigi are all attraction and tension and angst. I loved them instantly. Pike might be a tattoo artist with a bike, but you can tell right from the beginning he is a genuinely good guy and cares about Gigi. The action in this book kept me on my toes and my AirPods in my ears. Jason Clarke and Samantha Brentmoor were perfect for Pike and GiGi. Their voices captured all the emotion angst and heat. This is book 1 of a duet, and I have already jumped into book 2. The conflict in this book seems to resolve itself quickly, until you realize its a duet so its not over. Gigi is Joe and Suzie's daughter and it was fun to see them as parents as well as the rest of the Gallos as parents of adults. This book is completely enjoyable and entertaining. It's a great summer read/listen.

This book was really good! I liked the story and all the characters. I do wish it was a bit steamer, it started really strong but didn’t really maintain the steam throughout the story.

I didn’t realize before reading this thats it a spin-off/continuation of another series by this author. Though they do a good job of making sure this story is complete without having to read the other series, I definitely feel like if you want the full experience you’d need to read the other series first.

I will definitely read the next book and look forward to the rest of the series!

Well if you wanted me sucked in...

That's the way to do it. Now I know I'm breaking the cardinal rule by starting the 2nd gen without reading the original, but since I wasn't lost in the slightest, it's fine. I instantly fell in love with sassy, spunky Gigi and Alpha bad boy Pike. The pacing was quick and punchy, the characters were solid and fleshed out and I was hooked and inhaled this pretty much in under 6 hours. I cannot wait for the rest of the series. Hooked for sure. I volunteered to listen and review a complimentary copy of this. All opinions are my own.

WOW WOW

Loved this story from page one and the narrators brought it to life just starting books.
