MEN OF INKED BLOG TOUR-: "Resist Me" REVIEW POST (5 STAR REVIEW/5 DRIPPIN' WET PANTIES)



Resist Me

Synopsis
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?

Review
“Resist Me” is the fourth installment of Chelle Bliss’, “Men of Inked Series”. It is the story of Isabella Gallo, the youngest of five and the only sister of the Gallo family.  However IZZY, is far from a baby. She’s a sexy, sarcastic, shit talking sister who is somewhat of a new kind of feminist.  She speaks her mind. She gets all that she wants in and out of the bedroom, and she’s always in control. She'll never be that sweet, docile, weak, or and submissive to anyone fitting the description of the “caveman” type men that she’s been surrounded by all of her life….. That is, until she meets James.
Being a fan of the “Men of Inked Series” from book one, “Throttle Me”, I could not wait to read Izzy’s story. She’s had such a presence in every single one of the books, so far. She is often times, her brothers’ voice of reason. Because she’s so opinionated, confident, and decided in her delivery throughout the previous books, I absolutely could not wait to read her story. And “Resist Me” does not disappoint. Izzy really meets her match, when she meets James. He matches and exceeds the confidence, sarcasm, and sex appeal that she exudes. Not only does he tell her, but he shows her, just how much she wants him and that she belongs to him. I love the rapport between these two. It’s so far beyond a game of “cat and mouse” or playing hard to get. It’s survival of fittest, especially in the bedroom.  The mental and emotional gameplay for James is a tactic to secure what he wants…. Izzy. For Izzy, it a defense mechanism, that gets her nowhere fast. And James loves the resistance, it just adds fuel to his fire.
Besides, the pussy power and dick domination game being served between James and Izzy, there is another story being prefaced. That is the one of the oldest Gallo brother, Thomas. You really get a peek inside, as to why he has not been around for Sunday dinners, and the link between him, James, and Izzy. I absolutely cannot wait for that one.
“Resist Me” is was amazing read.  The characters are laughable, lovable, and LUST-worthy!  I recommend “Resist Me” to you all. Actually, I recommend the whole series.

Here are my ratings….

STORY LINE
5 BOOKS 
This isn’t just some erotica read, with a weak story line and some BDSM thrown here there. This is a story, with a plot, and it is an awesome one. As a reader you kept on your toes, you do not want to put this book down. YOU WILL NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN!

CHARACTERS
5 HEARTS

Characters – 5 HEARTS- I am so in love with them all. While being fictitious, these characters are extremely lifelike/real. Their personalities hold so much depth. You know that the author has put much thought into building each one.

SEX APPEAL/SCENES/ROMANCE
5 DRIPPIN' WET PANTIES

I know that I stated “this isn't just some erotica read….”, but damn, the raw intensity and passion coursing through the pages of “Resist Me” are scorching hot. And for that, it gets 5 dripping wet panties ;-) (New rating category)

OVERALL RATING: 5 STARS…. GO DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND READ THIS SERIES!

MEN OF INKED BLOG TOUR- POST 3: "Throttled A City and Suzy Novella" REVIEW POST (5 STAR REVIEW/5 DRIPPIN' WET PANTIES)


Throttled


Synopsis
She’s about to become his – Mrs. Joseph Gallo.

All she wants is to be his, but his possessiveness days before the wedding has her questioning the reality of a happily ever after.

He’s not easy. He’s territorial and doesn’t share well with others.

City’s staking his claim, making Suzy his forever.

Their future teeters precariously on the cliff of matrimonial bliss.

Will their love survive his alpha nature or will it all unravel before she can say ‘I do’?

Review
"Throttled" is the story of City and Suzy, and all of the events that lead up to their upcoming nuptials. It begins with a Thanksgiving dinner and ends with a Christimas dinner. There's lots of time spent with the Gallo family. I absolutely LOVE the Gallos. They're hilarious and loving. 
City and Suzy, of course, are still an extremely HOT couple. Their scenes, especially the elevator scene, was hot enough to make my iPad explode. LOL! I also LOVE, the sarcasm, and "insiders", and sexual innuendos that are thrown back and forth between the two, when Mama Gallo's around.

Once again Chelle Bliss does it again! This book came just in time, as I was craving a "City Fix", like you wouldn't believe. As sexy, and hot this book was at times, it seemed to also encompass family. I fell in love with Gallos. They are witty, hilarious, loving, and welcoming. I loved that the characters from each of Chelle's books remain consistent. As much as Suzy's mouth changed, with the use of colorful language, she still is that nervous, control freak...lol! The book was so many things, beautiful, sexy, endearing, and a page turner. To be a novella, it's chock full of goodness, and amazingly enough, it's a 100 page teaser for "Resist Me"! I cannot wait for that one. 5 STARS! This novella is amazing!
5 BOOKS 
 
Story is amazing. I love these two and how much Suzy has changed because of City.

5  HEARTS
Don't you just want to be invited to a Gallo's gathering. I LOVE THIS FAMILY!!!!!

5 DRIPPIN' WET PANTIES
City is hands down one of my favorites period, just for his dirty talk in bed. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE him. I mean the teaser alone says it all.

MEN OF INKED BLOG TOUR- WEEK TWO : "Hook Me" REVIEW POST (5 STAR REVIEW/5 DRIPPIN' WET PANTIES)

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', "Hook Me : Men of Inked Series, Book 2" is the story of Michael Gallo, part owner and piercing artist of the family owned tattoo shop, INKED. Although he and his family do extremely well with the business, his real passion is MMA fighting. He eats, sleeps, and breathes being in the ring. It's his number one love, until he meets Dr. Mia Greco. Mia is a workaholic, who puts all of her time into helping those who cannot help themselves. Her heart bleeds for her patients. All of her spare time goes into helping the sick and uninsured in an inner city, hole in the wall, walk in clinic, where her best is just not good enough to keep it afloat. After a few chance encounters and an amazingly romantic first date. Michael and Mia fall for each other.
"Hook Me" is Michael's story. I initially met Michael in "Throttle Me", book one. He was, to me, City's sarcastic brother, who would like to break his balls from time to time. In "Hook Me" you really get to know Michael Gallo. He has this intimidating tough guy exterior, but a sensitive, warm interior. He, is what I call a "gentle giant". However, sensitive and warm do not equal weak or meek. He knows exactly what he possesses . He's just the right amount of cockiness, roughness, and arrogance. In the bedroom he showed up and showed out. His interactions with Mia were hot, to say the least. I loved the little games they'd played with each other, the built up anticipation, and the cocky, dirty talk exchanged between the two.
As far as a relationship. Michael saw right through Mia and broke down all of her defensive walls. Mia gave a good face and buried herself in work to shield herself from pain and hurt. There were aspects of her primary job in the hospital ER, that caused her pain and sometimes feeling helpless. This is why she spent her spare time, engrossed in making a difference at the clinic. She's not one to open up, so when "the shoe drops" and she gets some disappointing news about Michael, she feels it is a trust betrayed,
What can I say? Chelle Bliss does it again.This book was read from beginning to end in one sitting. Because I read "Throttle Me", I initially thought, that I would compare to Michael to City, but "Hook Me" and Michael's story stand apart. Just like real siblings, who may share the same principles, their personalities are completely different. (BTW, it was great to catch up with City and Suzy!) This was brilliantly written. Each and every character was written and created with so much depth and they are relatable. We interact with people with traits like Michael, Izzy, and Mama Gallo on daily basis.
In true Bliss fashion, Chelle sets the stage for the next installment of the Gallo family story. I cannot for the next one :-)

STORYLINE : 5 BOOKS
Excellent storyline, I was hooked from page one.

CHARACTERS: 5 HEARTS
It's the Gallos, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them!!!!!

PASSION/INTENSITY OF LOVE SCENES: 5 DRIPPIN' WET PANTIES
Mikey might be a gentle giant, but in the bed he's a beast!!!!!!!


Until then, I shall bask in the wonder of "Hook Me: Men of Inked Series, Book 2" a 5 STAR READ!!!!!

MEN OF INKED BLOG TOUR- WEEK ONE : "Throttle Me" REVIEW POST (5 STAR REVIEW/5 DRIPPIN' WET PATNIES)


Throttle Me

Synopsis
Suzy’s a control freak and has her life mapped out - work hard, find a man with a stable job, and live happily ever after. She’s content with the status quo, but her plan comes to a screeching halt when he enters her life and turns it upside down.

City gave up on love when his heart was crushed in college, preferring to be the typical bachelor. He spends his nights hopping from one bed to another and his days working at his family tattoo shop, Inked. 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
“Throttle Me” is the story of Suzy, a twenty-something, math teacher, with a less than interesting love life and check list of prerequisites for a potential life partner. Even though she’s quite the control freak, she yearns and fantasizes about someday having the sexual experiences that she only reads about in erotica novels. Suzy’s life changes, the moment her car breaks down on a dark, desolate road and a tall, dark, handsome, tattoo-clad biker by the name of City, comes to her rescue, in more ways than one. City, owner of Inked (a tattoo shop), is out for a ride on his Harley-Davidson Fat Boy, and to meet up with the guys at the local hole-in-a-wall bar, when he rides past a beautiful, blonde bombshell and damsel in distress on the side of the road. After a couple of sweet martinis and careful conversation, City surmised that Suzy was good girl, with a hidden, raw sexuality that he, not only wanted to explore, but also introduce her to. Neither one of them was looking to fall in love in the process…. Once again, Chelle Bliss, has managed to “intrigue me” and “mesmerize me” with her writing. From the moment that I began reading “Throttle Me” I could not put it down. I managed to read 75% of it in one sitting and the only reason why I didn't complete it at that time, was because I had to make myself put it down for the sake of sleep. I knew from the teasers of “Throttle Me” that I was going to love me some City. And let me tell you, City, does not disappoint. He is the quintessential alpha male. He is bold, cocky, arrogant, handsome, long, thick, and satisfying with just the right amount of jealousy. He wants nothing but to please and to protect Suzy. He wants to mold her and dominate her at the same time. As much as City wants to pull out the lasciviousness that he knows Suzy possesses, he also can appreciate that she is a lady. She’s soft. She’s sweet and she’s all his. I love the moments when he would reassure Suzy. He could see right through her and all of her insecurities and he knew just how to make her feel comfortable and at ease with herself. I loved when he called her Suzette. It’s so much sexier than Suzy. There were parts of “Throttle Me” that just made me speak out loud to the characters. Mainly Suzy, she did nothing but get in her own way. Questioning the chemistry between her and City, attempting to go out with “Mr. Pickle”, and doubting that whether or not a relationship with him would ever last. Sometimes things just seemed to be too good to be true, and she had major doubts. When it came to City, he was not at all what she initially expected (from a relationship), but he proves to be all she ever wanted. Suzy’s character originated in Chelle Bliss’ first novel, “Untangle Me”. In “Untangle Me”, Suzy is the best friend and roommate of Sophia. Sophia, and her fiancé Kayden, make a few cameos in “Throttle Me”. Having read both “Untangle Me” and “Kayden: The Past” (both of the Love At Last Series), it’s great to catch up with these two characters and there’s just enough mentioned about their bond to evoke interest in reading both books from that series. I am not sure if this was done intentionally, but it’s brilliant. THIS AND ALL OF CHELLE BLISS’ BOOKS ARE STAND ALONE NOVELS, but you get a better appreciation for the characters when you read all of the books. I gave “Throttle Me” 5 (five) stars. I absolutely loved this book. Chelle’s characters with their insecurities, hang ups, situations, relationships are realistic and relatable. How many of us know a Suzy or are a Suzy? How many of us of ladies yearn to be “sweet in the streets and whore between the sheets”? This book is for those who can relate or know about the monotony of the everyday, but then getting swept off of your feet, sexually, and romantically by a tenacious and audacious lover. THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU!

This story line of ""Throttle Me" is awesome! 5 BOOKS


CITY, CITY, CITY! The reason for the line, "There's a new ALPHA in town". LOVE, LOVE, LOVE HIM! The is your intro to the Gallos. They are lovable and relatable. 5 HEARTS


5 DRIPPIN' WET PANTIES!!!! OMG, I couldn't put this book down. Who knew making a good girl speak this dirty could be so hot!!!!! City leaves you breathless and wanton- 5 DRIPPIN' WET PANTIES!!!!!

STAY TUNED FOR THE REST OF THE SERIES REVIEWS!!!!!!!!!!
