I’d led a selfish existence.
I liked who I was. Hell, I loved myself.
Women threw themselves at me and I took what they offered without remorse. I promised them nothing.
I sank my teeth into life, holding on to the bitch like my very existence depended on it.
Time passed.
Women came and went.
The second I let my guard down and released the hold I had on life… What was my award for such carelessness?
A love so spectacular and heart wrenching that it threw me for a loop. When I was in too deep to escape, my greatest fears became reality.
This is my story.
My downfall.
My salvation.

Book Review: Uncover Me (Men of Inked, #4) by Chelle Bliss

UncoverMe

Synopsis

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.

Review

[yasr_overall_rating size=”medium”]

Love changes a person. It doesn’t make us inferior, but it lets us be the person we were truly meant to be. It completes us, brings out our true nature, and helps us become a better version of ourselves.”

 

Chelle stated that this was one of her hardest books to write, but I have to say I think she hit this one out of the park. I love the Gallo men (and of course Izzy and the gals), but I had been dying to hear Thomas’ story. For so long, he was this absentee brother and with each book, my interest in Thomas only increased…’curiouser and curiouser.’ My curiosity was finally appeased when I received an ARC of Uncover Me. I was not disappointed. I’m still  fanning myself from this steamy read. So listen, this book is definitely a bit different than the other Men of Inked books, HOWEVER, it is just as steamy and just as engaging. This one is what I like to call smut with substance.  
After living a dangerous and crime filled life can Blue ever go back to being Thomas Gallo or will he be forever tainted? This book had me hooked from the minute I started reading. I’ll admit there are some cheesy moments, (sorry Chelle I mean that in the best way possible), but I loved them just as I have loved the entire Men of Inked series. The thing I love the most about the series that I repeatedly point out is these characters seem so normal. They seem real, like you might know one of them, be related to one of them or even had an encounter with a loving and loyal family like the Gallos. They make you want to step into this world with them and never let go. Uncover Me is steamy in a hot damn I need to fan myself sort of way. HAHA. Trust me on this…you’ll see. 

 

Chelle did an excellent job pulling the reader into Thomas’ life with the Sun Devils MC . Uncover Me is steamy, sweet and suspenseful. She blends the lives of Thomas Gallo and Blue creating the perfect recipe for a hot brooding alpha male. You can feel Thomas’ passion, his unease, his happiness, his regrets; every emotion he radiates engages the reader as though they are living through this nightmare alongside him. I also love dual perspectives and as expected, Chelle captured Roxanne’s voice as eloquently as Thomas’. 
Thomas is lost, he’s stuck living undercover with the Sun Devils. When he first got in with the MC his job should’ve been an easy in and out. He’d get what he needed and get out, but time passes and now he’s in so deep he doesn’t know which side of the law he’s on anymore. The worst thing is he’s found the love of his life, but she’s in almost as deep as Thomas. Will living undercover as Blue taint him? What lengths will he go to protect the ones he loves? Will Roxanne and Thomas ever find a happily ever after? 
I’m all about the buildup. I try not to give away too much in my reviews so I will maintain my pattern and simply say, I  loved this book. I love this series. I heart the Gallos and Thomas and Roxanne are characters you’ll want to know. They will make you fall in love with the Gallos all over again.  There is a good balance of action and suspense in this read, but Chelle’s steam factor is off the charts as always. Fun and sexy read. Thomas may be my favorite Gallo man thus far, but I have a feeling Anthony’s gonna win my heart! I definitely recommend this book to my Erotica and Contemporary Romance fans. 
Happy Reading lovelies xo

BLOG TOUR: Hook Me (Men of Inked, #2) by Chelle Bliss

 

Release Date: June 6, 2014 

 

 

 

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. Michael is the road to achieving his goal when a chance encounter alters his world forever. The title is no longer enough – he must capture the woman of his dreams. 
 
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 ♥ 

Chelle Bliss has a way of creating sexy stories that allow you to relate to the characters, to feel as though they could be your family, your friends, your loved ones. I really enjoyed Hook Me and feel I connected with the characters a bit better than I did while reading Throttle Me. The dialogue and quips made me feel as though I were participating or witnessing a conversation between friends or family. I like that the author is able to paint such a vivid picture for the reader with a family that you want to immediately embrace. 

 

Michael and Mia’s story is sweet and passionate. Michael, the MMA fighter and piercer of the Gallo family has met his match in Mia. She’s quick, witty and the sparks are instantaneous. She challenges him, makes him work hard for her attention and affection. He even begins to see the potential of more. Mia is terrified of giving her heart to someone and trusting Michael Gallo will take a lot especially since she’s already created an image of this “bad boy” in her head.  Unforeseen circumstances threaten this budding romance creating a divide that seems may be irreparable. Will Michael and Mia pull through or will they be pulled apart?  

 

This book is sweet, sexy and entertaining. You’ll enjoy the playful, ball busting banter between characters as the entire Gallo clan returns for the second installment of the Men of Inked series.  If you’re a fan of Throttle Me, you’ll also be pleased for the return of Suzy and Joseph. I think Mia and Mike definitely give them a run for their money on my steamy scale 😉 
I think I enjoyed Hook Me slightly more than Throttle Me, but I am a fan of the series thus far. This is a great beach read and I’d recommend it to Contemporary Romance and Erotic Romance fans. Happy Reading! 

 

 

 

Hook Me – Excerpt



His hand rested against my back, pulling me closer, and I became lost in his kiss. The feel of his rough thumb pad as he stroked my face made my body feel on fire. The sound of the rain beating against the truck, the thunder rumbling outside, and our breath frantic and quick, filled the cab.



I climbed in his lap as he gripped my ass and pulled my bottom to him. I could feel his hardness against me and I ached to feel him inside.



I couldn’t deny myself any longer.



“Take me home, Michael. Stay with me tonight.” I didn’t even have to think about it.



I wanted him.



The light touches, commanding kisses, and the feel of his hardness had me wanting more, needing it.



“Mia, I don’t know if that’s a good idea,” he whispered against my lips.



“I want to feel your skin against me. Remind me what it feels like to be loved, Michael. Show me the beauty and make me forget.” I held myself up and stared in his eyes.
“Please,” I begged.



His fingers swept against my cheek and I leaned into his touch, closing my eyes. “I’ll do anything you ask,” he said.
