I love loved love Lily Gallo and Jett Michaels. I loved how oblivious Lily was to Jett who is so used to women dropping at his feet. She couldn’t let herself believe that he would want her, this guy she has a crush on all through high school and after. To Jett, Lily is a forever kind of girl. He has known for a long time that she is the girl who will be his future. Loved seeing glimpses of the OG Gallos, and Mike Gallo, Lily’s dad, just made me LOL so often. He didn’t want to accept that his baby girl was an adult.
With the way this book ended, I can’t wait to see what happens next!
Amazing! This book has everything and more in it. All around kept me interested and made me want to keep turning the pages, I found myself reading this wherever I went because I couldn’t put it down!
Jett and Lilly are HOT HOT HOT I promise you that you want to read this story. No Gallo book has ever let me down and this one is just as good as all the rest in this amazing series!!!
Must read #HeatwaveBookFour #ChellBliss #GalloLoveChelle Bliss
FANTASTIC!!!
I absolutely love each and every book in this series, and possibly this one more than the others! This is Lily’s story and she is so much different from her cousins it’s like night and day. Lily is the quiet one in the Gallo family. The one that always tries to do the right thing, please everyone. And though Jett has always been known to be a bit of a man-whore he’s like a totally different person with Lily.
The chemistry between these two is classic Chelle Bliss magic! And the humor is everything one would expect from any book about the Gallo family! A definite must read if you are a fan of Chelle Bliss and the Gallos!!!
Jett is the sensible one in his and Lily’s relationship, “sometime I’d like to come by, bring my girl dinner, spend a little time with her. I can’t do that if her family doesn’t know we’re more than just roommates.” I liked this book, I loved Jett
Addictive! That is what this book is. Right from that first chapter I was hooked. One of my favourite things to read in unrequited love, and this book was everything I didn’t know I needed. I just love the Gallo family!!
Lilly is so different to our hero, but opposites definitely attract here and boy are they explosive! This book was hot, steamy, swoony, and amazing. I love how protective Mike is, he is such a big teddy bear of a man, who loves his daughter so much. I could say so much but I really don’t wAnt to give anything away about this book at all. Just know it is a MUST READ!
I am addicted to all things Chelle Bliss and I can’t wait for more from the HEAT WAVE series! I am already craving my next HEATWAVE hit!
Lily and Jet will leave you needing an ice bath this is one hot story. This story has moments that will have you cringe with embarrassment, laughing out loud and plenty of steamy to make you fan yourself. Like that Lily was shy but still able to stand up for herself and that Jet went after what he wanted.
I was waiting for this book for so long, that when it finally hit my kindle, I was thrilled to dive right into it.
Lily Gallo has an overprotective father and a doctor for a mother. She had a path set out for her to follow in her mother’s footsteps. But, things don’t always go as they seem, and Lily wants to step out and shine in her own light and help out at her family-owned tattoo shop. What she wasn’t counting on was running into her childhood crush, now turned into a man, and having to come face to face with his perfect body.
Jet Michaels was a ladies man. With his good looks and charm, he could win the hearts of even the coldest of women. But, he’s only had eyes for one girl–Lily Gallo, a family friend who Jet dreams of corrupting in the best way possible and helping her shed her innocence and bring out a woman deep inside her that he loves unconditionally.
This was, BY FAR, my favorite book in the Heatwave series. I was so anticipating Lily’s book, because I could relate to her on so many levels. I am so glad I got to read this book, and can’t wait for more Gallo kids to read!
Lily is the shy one of the bunch of Gallo kids, but has always had a crush on Jett. When he comes back after being gone for years they reunite in such an awkward and funny situation. These were so cute together and I just loved Jett. He was so patient and kind and Lily with her quirkiness was so delightful. The ending kind of leaves us hanging but I can’t wait to see what happens next.
Lily is a bookworm. Jet is a a man who goes after what he wants. He doesn’t take no for an answer. Loved there connection and chemistry. Could not wait to see what would happen next. Loved Mikes reactions to his daughter growing up and how Mia handles him. Love this. A must read.
Since the first Gallo book I have been hooked. I love the Gallo family and so want to be a Gallo. Chelle pulls you in like that in every single book. I feel like I am a family member. I love how she takes away reality for a while. I couldn’t put it down. Jett and Lily are so good together. The second generation of Gallo’s are giving the first a run for their money. Can’t wait for more!
Decadently sinful! With book four in her Men of Inked: Heatwave series, Chelle Bliss brings all the sassiness and feels in BLAZE. I adored the characters, the pace of the story was spot on and the laugh out loud moments were divine. The ending was a bit abrupt with a smidge of a cliffhanger, but I loved them so much that I can’t complain. Looking forward to the next in the series!
Jett Michaels is strong, opinionated and so so swoonworthy. He has never been ashamed of living life, but he’s always had a time in the back of his mind when he would claim his destiny … and that time is now.
Lily Gallo is adorable! She’s awkward as all get out, but it just works on her. She had me laughing on more than one occasion and I loved the easy chemistry she had with every person she interacted with.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves an opposites attract story of a couple who was plainly meant to be. They have a great cast of friends and family surrounding them that make a great back drop to their love story. I’m definitely going back to catch up on the books I’ve missed in the Gallo saga!
Ahhh another slam dunk on this one! I love that Chelle can make her books go from sweet to dangerous to funny to hawt as h*ll and back again! This book was perfect for Lily’s story and that killer mic drop moment towards the end was AMAZING! I really really hope this means we’ll get more of Lily and Jett because they really are like a “gross Hallmark movie” (in the BEST possible way!). The Heatwave series is very quickly climbing my chart for best CB books!
I have loved all of the Heatwave books so far. But this one is my new absolute favorite. The best one hands down. Lily and Jett are absolute perfection.
Lily and her sweet innocence is so endearing. Her verbal vomit when Jett is around is down right hilarious. Lily has had a thing for Jett for years but he was a little older and she always thought he never noticed her. She was the nerd, the awkward one, the shy one, the quiet one. She thought she was way out of his league. But she would soon learn how wrong she was.
Jett always saw Lily. But no one knew. He kept those thoughts and feelings to himself. He wanted her to grow and live. He has his work cut out for him in convincing Lily he means what he says about what he wants for his new life.
I loved the slow burn for these two. The sexual tension and chemistry is off the charts. And of course the way it ends, I’m dying for more.
Here we are book 4 in this Series and the bar keeps raising a little bit each time. I love that while we move on to the next couple the family is never too far away.
Lily is working hard at getting her footing after quitting school and moving home. Working for the family at Inked and trying to decide her next step. She has always been considered the quiet bookworm of the family and she does show her innocents but she is anything but a week woman. Mike make damn sure his girl could look after herself if she needed to. But she is still his little girl.
Jett Michaels has arrived back home after serving the country. He is determined and ready to make sure that he gets what he wants, knowing that he might have to do things a little bit sneaky to get it. Ready to start working at ALPHA with his woman at his side. She just doesn’t know it yet.
Will Lily let him in? Yes she has always crushed on him but he seriously can’t like her. She is so not his type, or at least that is what she thinks.
It is funny that the whole family can see the way Jett looks at her but she has no idea. I love the fun banter between these characters and the way Jett works things around to get to spend time with her when she is apprehensive. Jett has spend enough time with the family to understand that he has to tread lightly and make it seem like it this their idea. A fun read in all.
*** Advanced copy provided in exchange for an honest review. ***
Lily and Jett’s story had me from the word “Go”. I fell totally head over heels for these two. I thought that Lily was super real and relatable and Jett was fever dream material. This is a couple that will definitely have you swooning from the major case of “The Feels” it inspires. The well crafted story is filled with plenty of emotions, cuteness, humor, heat and heart. A real heart melting romance. This is my sincere review that I am posting of my own accord.
Loved, loved, loved this book! Five stars are not even enough for this one! Sweet, innocent Lily and Jett who we meet way back when he was a baby. Gah! These two together were scorching hot and I cannot wait for their next book to come out! Chelle Bliss has definitely hit a grand slam with this one!
Holy blazes, loved this from the very beginning!! First off, that first chapter had me cracking up (can’t tell you how many times I’ve re-read it). And then Lily & Jett’s time together at Inked…classic! This is Jett & Lily’s story, with all the other Gallo’s thrown in, and then some. Their story was so much fun, both hiding feelings to begin with, and Lily being nothing like her cousins Gigi & Tamara. While they’re a bit wild-ish & experienced, she is the complete opposite, pure & sweet, smart & a bookworm. But she’s always had a crush/some serious feelings for Jett. Jett, who once upon a time was very active with the ladies, shall we say, now wants to put all that behind him and just focus on who he cares about most, Lily. Them getting there is quite a trip though. And I totally loved it!!! I love this family and I cannot wait for more!!!
I have loved the Men of Inked since she wrote the very first book and with each book and us getting to know the Gallo’s has made me love the family even more , wishing I could be a part of them.
In Blaze we get Lily Gallo’s book and she is what we all know a bookworm , geek who loves to read albeit pretty naughty things , and then we get her old crush Jet, these two burn up the pages of this book and I can not wait for you all to get to know these two
Blaze is book 4 of the Men of Inked: Heatwave series. This is Lily Gallo and Jet Michels story. Lily has always been the good girl, who has always had a crush on the bad boy, Jet. Little does she know Jet has always had a thing for the innocent nerdy girl, and believes he is out of her league. Now Jet is back from the military, will he ever act on his feelings for Lily? How will her father react? I absolutely loved Jet and Lily, they are my new favorite! I can’t wait for the next book!!!
Blaze by Chelle Bliss is book four in the Men of Inked: Heatwave Series. This is the story of Jet Michaels and Lily Gallo. I have read the previous books which did add to my enjoyment of this one, but I do think this can be a standalone book if you wish to do so. Lily has dropped out of college and is pursuing a career like her dad which is working at a Tattoo shop for now learning the trade of piercing. Jet has returned home from the military looking to get a certain piercing which leads him to Lily at the shop. Lily has always had a crush on Jet but know she isn’t in his league because she is just a nerdy somewhat plan girl and he was a playboy with the bimbo girls. Jet to we learn has a secret crush on Lily and can’t believe that she is single. Of course each dance around their feeling not fully acknowledging their feelings to the other but when they end up being roommates it hard for them not to act of those feelings. Hot and Spicy read…loved it.
