Uncover Me (Men of Inked #4)by Chelle Bliss
I lost track of my life.
Spiraling down the rabbit hole, I lost myself and became one of them. Living undercover within the MC, the days bled together as I became absorbed in a life of excess and violence.
Becoming consumed was easy.
Was I Thomas Gallo, good guy and respected cop or Blue, Sergeant-at-Arms of the Sun Devils MC?
Before, I could answer with certainty. But now, there’s a darkness that has settled deep in my soul, fusing with my heart and altering my reality forever.
The road I’ve traveled has been paved with danger, death, and deception.
Roxanne grew up as part of the MC, a victim of her birth. Her life has been treacherous, setting her on a course of torment and destruction.
When our worlds collide, secrets are revealed. Trying to save us from damnation, I fight for redemption and the woman I love.
Manda's 4 Star Review
After being undercover with a dangerous MC for so long, Thomas Gallo starts to lose himself in the life. The longer he is in the further he falls until he no longer recognizes himself. He misses his family but after some of the things he has done for the MC he feels unworthy of the Gallo family. Th only thing from the life he was living that he really cared about was Roxanne. She grew up in the life and understand the dangers that come along with it. When the time finally comes for Thomas to return to his family he wants nothing more than to take Roxanne with him, but pulling her from the life is dangerous and he may not be able to protect them or his family.
I really love this series. I think Chelle Bliss is a fantastic writer and has created some really fantastic characters. Throughout this series I have been waiting to hear about Thomas Gallo. The brother who is talked about with so much love but who we don’t know anything about. We get a small taste of him in Resist Me, but only enough to get us really curious. Thomas is by far the most complex character in the series. He lives a double life taking great risks and doing things that he never would have dreamed of doing. He has to try to reconcile the old Thomas with the person he has become. Not only does he have to do that but he also has this beautiful woman that he cares about that he wants to try and save. The storyline is really good and it was really hard to put down. As always with this series we get a healthy dose of the other Gallo family members. Every character in the book is amazing and I love that we get to hear from them all in this book. Great job Chelle Bliss on a fantastic story. Cannot wait for what comes next!!!
Resist Me (Men of Inked #3) by Chelle Bliss
Izzy Gallo has never been described as a member of the weaker sex. She’s a woman who doesn’t take shit from anyone. Growing up with four older overprotective brothers has hardened her, making her a force to be reckoned with.
Against the wishes of her two brothers, Joe and Mike, Izzy takes a weekend trip to Bike Week in Daytona, turning her world upside down.
Over her head, in a world she doesn’t understand, there’s only one man who can save her.
James Caldo has dedicated his life to protect and serve as a member of the DEA. He’s cocky, overbearing, and doesn’t take no for an answer – the Gallo men have nothing on him.
When their paths cross, James makes Izzy question everything she believes about completely surrendering to the opposite sex.
Does James have what it takes to overpower the headstrong Izzy, capturing her heart forever?
Manda's 4 Star Review:
Izzy Gallo has grown up with 4 brothers who have taught her how to be strong. She knows she can take care of herself and doesn't need a man like her brothers to protect her. Against the wishes of her brothers Izzy takes a weekend trip to bike week and finds herself in a world of trouble. A trip to a bar with her current fling and Izzy finds herself in the sights of a very dangerous man. A little bit of luck on her side keeps Izzy out of his hands but the only man that can get her out and safely home is the one man Izzy wants nothing to do with.
James Caldo is exactly the kind of man Izzy doesn't want. He is too much like her brothers. He doesn't take no for an answer and he has decided he wants Izzy. She doesn't want him in her life but he may be the only man who can handle her and keep her out of trouble.
I really like all the characters in this series but Izzy and James may be my favorites. James is a super cocky DEA agent and he will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Izzy is just as cocky and is also determined to get what she wants. This makes for a fantastic story that will get your attention from the beginning and make it impossible to put this book down. Not to mention we get a little taste of the rest of the Gallo family. Definitely my favorite so far and I cannot wait for the next book in the series. Fantastic job again Chelle Bliss I am a big fan!! This is definitely a series you don't want to miss.

Manda's 3 Star Review:
Michael Gallo and his sibling run a successful tattoo business called Inked, but each has their own passion that they pursue. Michael is a fighter and has been working hard to reach his dream of a UFC championship. He is determined not to get distracted by anything that could take away from what he has worked so hard for, and then he meets her. Mia Greco is a doctor who spends her life taking care of people and has no interest in a man who hurts people for a living. Mia tries to stay away from Michael but there is something about him that she cannot resist. As the two grow closer she discovers something from his past that will change everything.
I am a huge fan of the first book in this series and really loved all the Gallo siblings. I was really looking forward to hearing Michael's story. I love Micheal and Mia's characters and the progression of their story. However I didn't like it as much as the first book in the series. The story was entertaining and kept my attention but I felt the major problem they faced was a bit too crazy for me. Still I really like the characters and the storyline and am very anxiously awaiting hearing the rest of the Gallo siblings stories.

Control freak Suzy never does anything that doesn't fit in to her life plan. She is looking for her white picket fence, happily ever after. She has no room in her life for taking chances, until one night she finds herself broken down at the side of the road. With no other choice she accepts the help of City, the tattooed bad boy on a shiny motorcycle. Suzy lets go of her life plan for one minute and spends a night of passion with the bad boy biker. He doesn't fit into her plan at all but something about him makes it impossible to just walk away.
This was the first Chelle Bliss book I have read and I must say that I will definitely be reading more of her books. I cannot wait for the second book in the series. The characters are wonderfully written and its impossible not to love City. I definitely recommend this book for all those tattooed, motorcycle riding, bad boy lovers out there. Fantastic book Chelle Bliss! Looking forward to book 2!!
