Independent and … a wallflower. Independent and unwilling to be tied down, I grabbed life by the balls and lived it to the fullest.
I was enjoying myself, minding my own business at my brothers wedding. Then WHAM.
Ever have a man walk into your life and alter your entire universe? My answer would’ve been no before he tempted me into his bed.

In this book we have Izzy, she has 4 very protective brothers. She has sworn off love, always opting for the one night stands.
We meet James at City’s and Suzy’s wedding in Throttled. Pulling all the events that lead up to Izzy and James’s hook up aka an amazing one nighter, lead me to fall in love with these two. Hating each other because of the fast connection that they found when just being around each other, without talking about the shock wave that rushes through their bodies when they touch!!!!
Izzy calls James “Jimmy” just to mess with him I think. In this short novella we don’t know much about James, other than Izzy’s brother sent him, and he work with the brother. Doing what we don’t know.
For those that have not read this book it is a must read!!!
I did receive a free ARC copy of this book. I am freely leaving a honest review.
Chelle Bliss brings you into the Gallo family like you are part of them…this is just another beautifully steamy book in the series!
Hot and sexy encounter!
No one calls her Isabella, no one dares to call him Jimmy. Chemistry is off the charts when Izzy and James meet on her brother’s wedding. Banter starts, sparks fly and then in his hotel room, oh boy! It got so hot! You have to read it. In the morning Izzy leaves the room without good bye over-helmed but the emotions she doesn’t want or need to feel. James is eager to get to know Izzy better and promises to himself he will have her and he will wait for next chance to convince her to give them a chance. Will he succeed?
This short little novella is about Izzy and James meeting at Suzy and City’s wedding. Where they spend the night flirting and circling around the spark that’s between them. After one kiss they end up in a hotel room for a night of hot passion. You definitely want to go read this book for those steamy details.
Izzy meets her match, I look forward to more sparks in the next book. This is a short teaser to lead into her story but so worth reading, it will need a very strong dominant alpha male to match and subdue her. I must admit she isn’t my favourite character from this family, she is very strong willed, sassy and feisty. Not easily lovable due to her mouthy attitude, though I understand growing up with 4 older and very protective brothers has meant she fought hard to be heard and gain independence. James however I think is well up to the task of taming her. Read 21/8/21
Resisting (Men of Inked #2.5) was a good read by Chelle Bliss. This short read can be read as a series starter or a stand alone book. Izzy has 4 very protective brothers. She has chosen to live her life as her own, she belongs to no one. She learned young how to get her way, she believes being a woman is a strength not a weakness. She was at her brothers wedding minding her own business when James walks into her life and spins it on her axis. I enjoyed reading this book and cant wait to read more by the author.
Let me say I love this series. The characters and the romance and steaminess of this and the others LOOOVE IT!!!
I didn’t really care for Izzy in her story Resist Me – Men of Inked #3, so not sure why I felt the need to read this novella. Going to go with the fact that it was free at the time. TBH – not sure there even needed to be a novella, could have simply tossed this into the “main” book and been done with it.
After reading this, I still don’t like Izzy. She is just a spoiled, foul mouthed little brat. With that said, I swear like a sailor, but Izzy as her own take on that age old saying. I wish James would’ve made an appearance earlier in the book, kinda seemed like Ms. Bliss tossed him in for good measure.
Not sure I will continue with this series. Just feel that it isn’t one for me.
I loved this series and this family but Izzy is my least favorite. I get she’s supposed to be a strong woman in a house full of alpha brothers but she’s just obnoxious to me.
