Blaze

Blaze is the fourth book in the Men of Inked: Heatwave series. I am loving this next generation of Gallos!!! Jett and Lily have known each other since they were in diapers and are total opposites. Lily has always had a crush on Jett, but she is so backwards that she would never tell him. When Jett comes back to town and shows up in Inked where Lily is now working doing piercings, well, let’s just say, things get cocky, lol. Lily freaking cracks me up! She is so nerdy and backwards but hilarious! I loved this book so much. I love reading about all the other Gallos too. Can’t wait for more!!

I have never laughed so hard but Blaze is a fast-paced fun book in the Men of Ink Heatwave Series. So make sure you are ready for this Laughter filled ride.

I love how Lilly Gallo and Jett Michaels story just flowed so well. A hint of danger, full of fun passion, a Heartwarming story of a love you didn’t know you had until its right in front of you at a time.

Lilly Gallo the Nerdy girl who never thought she was worthy of the love and attention of the super hot Jett Michaels. But love has no bounds, Can Lilly finally see that Jett has always loved her for who she is and come to terms with the fact they were always meant to be or will she keep pushing him away and forever be the lonely nerdy girl who has never lived her life?

Jett Michaels has only had eyes for one special woman in his life, but can he make her see that he was always meant for her? Will Jett make the moves without messing everything up in this new uncharted territory that he is not exactly familiar with or will She go running in the other direction?

Chell Has knocked this one out of the park, I am so ready for the next book in this series that I have come to love. You will fall in love with the Gallo family and the entire Men of Inked Heatwave series.

Loved Lily and Jet!!

Lily is pure innocence, and at times very awkward. She has finally started to stand up for what she wants in her life. Lily is very family orientated and is always afraid she is going to disappoint them. She has always had a crush on Jet Michaels and can’t say no to him. So, when he comes up with the plan of them being roommates she fights herself on it but eventually says yes.

Jet Michaels has been away for the last five years. When he finally comes home he decides to go to Inked and get a piercing. He however, never expected to run into Lily Gallo. Knowing he needs to get out of his parents house he comes up with the solution of asking Lily to be his roommate. However, he didn’t really think it through because he has always hid his true feelings for her.

Now that Jet and Lily are roommates will they be able to keep their feelings a secret or will everything come crumbling around them? Will Lily finally come out of her shell? Will Jet be able to make Lily believe him and his feelings?

I loved every word of this book but then again I have loved everyone of Chelle Bliss’s books and can’t wait for the next one.

Blaze begins with Lily Gallo and her father, Mike Gallo, having a conversation at Inked, the family business. Lily, having dropped out of college when she realized being a doctor is not what she wanted, decided to follow in her father’s footsteps at Inked and learn the trade of piercing. She has trained and become quite good at the craft. Lily tells her dad to take the rest of the day off because she can handle whatever comes up. She hears someone enter the shop and is stopped short when she sees that it’s none other than Jett Michaels. Jett is a family friend and he is also a guy who Lily has loved from afar for what seems like her whole life. He was the cool kid in school. She was the nerd who knew she would never be able to exist in Jett’s world.

They are all glad to see Jett, who has just been discharged from the military. When he left, he was a kid finding his own way. What Lily saw walk in was a man who was even hotter than before. They are both shocked to see each other, but what shocks Lily even more is that Jett is there for a piercing……a very intimate one. When Mike learns this, he wants to stay and do it himself, but Lily and the rest of the Gallos persuade him that Lily can handle it. Mike concedes and leaves.

As Lily readies for the procedure, she and Jett visit about what’s been happening in their lives since he left town. She wants to be on her own, away from her parents’ house and he needs a roommate. What Jett hadn’t planned on was asking her to be his roommate. It just sort of happened. Add to that the fact that he has had a crush on Lily too only adds another layer of uncertainty for both of them.

When Lily tells her cousins, Gigi and Tamara, that she did his piercing and that he asked her to be his roommate, the convince her to do it. She wants to but she knows that telling her dad, who needs a bigger word for being overprotective, will be one of her biggest hurdles. The other hurdle being the feelings she’s had for him forever.

Lily and Jett find a house that suits their needs. No, her dad, Mike, is not a happy camper, but her mom, Mia, handles it pretty well. The rest of the Gallo family isn’t happy about it either, but Grandma Gallo handles them all like a pro. After all, what can go wrong?

Blaze is another amazing addition to the series. I loved getting to know these characters! Lily is so sweet and smart and a little naïve, but Gigi and Tamara help in ways that no one else can. Jett is loyal and protective and worldly. When the two of them are in a scene together, the chemistry is off the charts. Perhaps my favorite thing in this one is the literal laugh out loud moments that happen. Lily really doesn’t have much of a filter and the things she says, and thinks, are hysterical. She is self-deprecating and truly has no idea how into her Jett actually is, nor how beautiful she is. It takes a little while for her to come around and see Jett for more than being the womanizer he has been most of his life, but when the two of them connect? Jesus lord………… The scenes go from being funny and sweet to being downright scorching. Of course, we get to see most of the Gallos in this one, which is always a plus. If you’re not reading Chelle Bliss, you are sorely missing out on one of the best created worlds I’ve had the privilege of reading in a very long time. Well done, Chelle Bliss! Very, very, very well done!!!

Blaze clearly raised the bar in the Heatwave series as Chelle Bliss gives me my favorite story yet. The slow-burn romance between Lily and Jett is both sweet and sexy. Knowing the studious Gallo daughter as being quiet and always in the background should have had a man like Jett never truly acknowledging her as more than a family friend. But what surprised me most was how much he had been pining for her, almost as much as she did for him.

The way Jett handles Lily with the utmost of care and respect had me swooning like crazy. The fact that neither thought the other was in their league just made their unpredictable and tender journey that much more special. And with the incessant but very necessary prompting from Gigi Gallo, there is that moment where all the denial, the avoidance particularly on Lily’s part, is thrown out the window and the deep-held feelings between she and Jett are finally realized.

There is that signature Gallo humor, that adds the right touch time and again. Not to mention the overbearing but completely lovable persona that is Mike Gallo, just wanting the best for his little girl. The way Bliss conjures up a way for Jett and Lily to really get to know each other, not only in the very first scenes in Inked, which is freaking brilliant, but in their similar need to leave their family homes, is the perfect vehicle for these two to truly find each other.

The man-whore and the nerd have plenty of bumps in their road, not to mention a few surprises too, but you can feel the love between them is the real deal and I cannot wait for more of their story in the next installment of this series. Left on a bit of a cliffy, knowing we’ll also be seeing more of Tam and Mammoth, as well as Pike and Gigi has this Gallo fan extremely happy. There is a new future for Lily and Jett and I’m looking forward to more of that as well. It’s just a great story with endearing characters and the kind of love that will undoubtedly make you sigh.

Well done, I happily give Blaze a solid 5 stars!

This is the fourth in the Men of Inked: Heatwave series which features the children of the Men of Inked couples. And these children are funny, caring, and 100% family. And they will tell any man that they are right or wrong for a cousin just that.

Jet has been away serving his country, now he is back home. He walks into Inked, he never expected to see Lily, the only girl he really liked, sitting there. She works at the tattoo shop.
Lily is innocent, sweet, the nerdy bookworm type. Jet is the bad boy player that Lily should run from. But when they realize that they have both had a crush on each other, the sparks will fly.
Can Jet convince Lily that he really does see her beauty? Will Lily follow her heart with Jet? What will Lily”s Dad do when he finds out that Jet and Lily are together?
I think this one is my favorite, I love Lily and Jet, and I can not wait for the next book to see what is happening with Mammoth. If you haven’t read anything from author Chelle Bliss, I highly recommend that you do. You will not be disappointed.

I absolutely adored this story! Where the last 3 books in this second generation were a little more dramatic and action packed, this story was a little calmer. But it still packed a fantastic punch. Lily is the good girl in the family but when her hunky friend comes back to town her life is spun all around lol. I adored Lily’s naive, nerdy personality. It made for some great scenes with her crazy cousins. Jett is extremely swoony and although he lived a playboy lifestyle, when reunited with Lily I loved how everything changed. Some twists and turns in this book kept things interesting, it was hilarious at times and a terrific opposites attract story.

I fell into this book from the very first words. I enjoyed watching Lily and Jett on their journey from friends to happily ever after. I loved Lily’s awkwardness and how she had no filter. She was just so cute. I loved that she could handle herself. Jett was an Alpha, but very patient with his Lily. I loved how he loved her. They were just so cute together. Their sexy times were quite steamy. I think these two might be my new favorite couple. Lily and Jett gave me all the feels.
This family always makes me laugh. I usually read the books in one sitting because I just cannot put the book down. I have to see them get their happy ending. I love the Gallos and cannot wait for more!

This is an endearing story.
It had laugh out loud moments.
And sweet touching parts.
Even though Jett and Lily are totally opposite.
They fit perfectly together.
His confidence and experiences complemented her quirkinesses and shyness.
Lily had zero life experience.
And I liked that she was fine with that.
She wanted the important milestones to be with someone she saw a real future with.
I found some of Lily’s naivety on the extreme side.
Especially with Gigi and Tamara as cousins and them sharing all their exploits with each other.
I liked her shyness and unsureness.
It fit her personality.
But her never hearing of certain things couples do,I found I bit hard to believe.
I loved Jaxon.
His gentleness and calmness with Lily was so heartwarming.
He always wanted her to feel comfortable and safe.
Jaxon was patient and so willing to do anything for a chance with Lily.
Their banter and situations were adorable.
Such a sweet sexy story with a whopper of an ending.

Blaze is book four in the Men of Inked Heatwave series. This one is about Lily Gallo and Jett Michaels!! I really loved this one. Lily was sweet, innocent, awkward and sassy. Jett, the sexy and swoony badboy. Lily and Jett were scorching and perfect for each other! Of course we see all the Gallo’s, including Daddy Mike who can’t let his little girl go! Definitely recommend this series!
