Burn, burn, burn! Hot as hell as Pike/Flame and Gigi’s story continues. These two are magnificent as they continue to build their romance to a flaming hot love even as Joe doesn’t like it. Pike is just too sexy with his laidback style and biker attitude. I love Pike as he fights for his relationship with Gigi and to keep his job at Inked. It’s a slippery slope with Joe and Aunt Izzy watching out for the feisty Gigi and her best interests. Family is everything to the Gallos. Unfortunately Pike is not so lucky in the family department. A trip home for Pike with Gigi in tow finds trouble that endangers all that Pike’s worked for and his new life with Gigi. Twists and turns will challenge the couple but will their love survive? I love the introduction of Pike’s brother, Austin, and can’t wait for more of him. A love interest for Gallo girl, Tamara? As always this fabulous author has given us another spectacular Gallo story in a long line of excellent stories and outstanding characters. I love Gigi and Pike as they fight for love. It’s just too good! Not since Suzy and Joey have we seen such a fantastic romance. I can’t wait for the next installment in this saga of family and love. Absolutely stunning! I voluntarily reviewed an ARC. 4.5 stars

This book has it all, the action, love, heat and so much more! This second book in the series will give you all the answers you seek after book 1. But remember once you start you wont stop till your done, and then you will still be beginning for more!
This book was an amazing conclusion to Gigi and Pike’s story.
The action kept me reading until the very end and it just seemed to keep coming.
The chemistry between Gigi and Pike was off the charts. As for the family love it was amazing that it just kept growing and never seemed to stop ever after things started to get bad.
I can’t wait to read Tamara’s story in Wildfire!!
Absolutely amazing hotter then hell conclusion to Gigi’s and Pike’s story. So freaking good, loved it from start to finish!!
The conclusion to Pike and Gigi’s story was one amazing read and well worth the wait. Their story left my head spinning and that is before the twists that came with the story! I was hooked with this portion of their story as much as I was hooked from the first part of the story. I loved the return to the Gallo world and I can’t wait to see what happens next in this series.
The narration by Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke was performed well and the pair did a wonderful job bringing the rest of this story to life
I thought this one was good! I’m glad things started from where we left off. Although, I will say book 1 Flame is still my favorite so far in this series. Maybe something was missing for me in Burn that I had felt in book 1 with Flame. I’m curious though to see how Tamara’s story will play out so things start to get set up at the end of Burn.
Jason and Samantha did a great job narrating.
I received this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
I loved this second installment with the next generation of Gallos. The way that Chelle writes these characters with depth and grit lends to a story that grabs onto you and doesn’t let go. Pike and Gigi are officially my new favorite fictional couple!
Not many books can grab my attention as quickly as Burn did. It picks up where Flame left off, so if you haven’t read it, don’t read this one until you do!
I loved Pike and Gigi from the beginning. Their relationship started out with a bang, but it sure didn’t fizzle out. There’s so much more depth to their characters and story in Burn, and I only fell harder for them. There’s definitely angst, but there’s so much love! We finally get to see City’s reaction to his baby girl falling in love for real. It’s emotional, and will absolutely bring a tear to your eye.
Burn is definitely one of my favorite reads this year, and I can’t wait for the next book in the next generation series.
Freaking love the Gallos and all that they stand for! Family, unity, brotherhood, sisterhood, love, loyalty to list a few! This family love hard and don’t apologize for doing all they can to keep those they love, safe.
This wasn’t just about Pike and Gigi, it was the relationship between father and daughter, the relationship between all family members. And it was fire and it was beautiful.
Five huge freaking stars for this author and the Gallos! I am home once more and it’s fantastic!
This story was super hot, hot, hot. It picked up right where Flame ended. Pike and Gigi’s relationships grows stronger and more beautiful. We learn more about Pike’s past and it was heartbreaking. I couldn’t stop reading until I finished this wonderful, thrilling, hot love story. The twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat. Loved this beautiful story and I can’t wait to read more Gallo’s by the awesome Chelle Bliss.

What started with Flame has now been stoked and what is left is one powerful storyline that will blow readers away. The story picks up with Gigi taking Pike to Sunday dinner with her family. There is no hiding the fact that her father, Joe, is not thrilled with his little girl getting involved with a man who he believes is not good enough for her. From the moment Pike met Gigi, he knew she was the one for him even though he did not deserve her. She is the rock that he leans on when he returns home to see his grandmother and pick up his younger brother Austin. Pike and Austin have some past issues to work out and are lucky to be surrounded by the Gallos. However, all is not roses when Pike’s past come back to haunt him. Filled with twists and turns, this is one wild ride that does not disappoint! It also gives a glimpse into the next adventure that will involve Tamara and I cannot wait to read it. I volunteered to read an advance copy and all opinions are my own.

Gigi and Pike are back with enough drama to give any daytime soap opera a run for their money! Ya’ll … these two attract trouble like bees to honey! Not gonna lie, on more than one occasion all I could do is just laugh because it was a lot. However, it wasn’t OTT. It felt natural for Pike and Gigi to have this kind of life. Crazy, chaotic and passionate. That’s the best description I can come up with for them, and entertaining. Let’s not forget entertaining because there was never a dull moment. I said this before, the story’s energy sparked from the beginning. It wasn’t just the story itself, Gigi and Pike sparked. These two kids were just perfect. One of the best second generation stories/journeys I have ever read. I can’t wait to find the time to #bingeread the first generation but more than that, I can’t wait to read on with this generation!
Sidenote: Thank you for the ending. I laughed, very loudly, for a full minute!
This is the second book in a duo. The first book was Flame where we first got to know Gigi and Pike. This book has suspense and love and is such a fun read. It’s great to see the Gallos again and how they come together to help the next generation. All the new characters make me eager to see how the young Gallos fall in love. The book was satisfying and set up the next story in a fabulous way.
A great conclusion. Gigi and Pike’s next instalment is an intense story full of unexpected twist and turns, it’s an emotional journey that again proves that family ties, love and loyalty can always be counted on. An exciting addition to this excellent series. A real rollercoaster of a ride that will tear at your heart, and leave you gasping for more. A fantastic read!
If you haven’t read Flame yet, stop with Burn and go read Flame! It’s a must! Burn picks up right where Flame left off, which is right in the middle of a hot mess with Pike’s dad causing all kinds of problems for Pike and Gigi. Pike and Gigi go through some serious sh*t in this book! It is intense and keeps you turning the pages so you can see what happens next. Because, let’s get real, you have to know what happens next! Not only is Burn a page-turner, it has all the feels! The sexy scenes are scorching hot, “holy crap what is happening to Pike” scenes, sassy and funny Gigi setting Joe straight scenes, and your heart will cry when you hear what Austin (Pike’s brother) went through with their mom. My only complaint is I wasn’t ready for this book to end. There is a crazy cliff-hanger and even though I knew the book was done, I tired to swipe a page turn multiple times just to make sure!
Hot damn I’m in love!
We pick right up where Flame let’s off so yes you definitely have to read it first. Pike and Gigi, gosh they are great characters and their story is exciting and sexy.
I love the Gallos, and getting their children’s stories are fantastic. In fact, I am loving them just as much if not more then their parents books. Each has me falling more in love and invested in this family. Not only are we getting a great love it’s filled with danger and excitement which of course keeps bringing me back for more. I absolutely loved Pike and Gigi and so excited to see what Tamera gets into in the next book. Definitely recommend this series and all of the Gallo reads.

*Review by Michelle
This book continues where we left off in book with, continuing Pike and Gigi’s story. You will be quickly drawn back into the story with all that is going on.
Pike has done everything he can to leave his past behind him and start a new life. The only things from the past that he has really brought with him is his Gran that he still keeps in touch with. Regretting that he left his little brother behind, but knowing that his parents always treated him well and showed him love. But thanks to his father that hasn’t happened and now once again he finds his past threatening the one thing he has come to love the most.
Gigi has fallen very quickly and thought her father is concerned for her, she is not backing down. This girl and the way she puts her daddy in his place is something else. She is determined to stick by Pike’s side through all the turmoil that is happening right now. Convinced that they are stronger as a team than alone.
Can Pike finally rid himself from his past? Will Gigi get her way and stand beside him? Can they convince her dad that Pike is what his daughter wants and needs?
A great read with lots of twists and turns, keeping you reading and needing to know what is next. Excited to see if Tamara gets her wild adventure next.

Favorite Quotes:
“I ain’t dying, fool. I’m like Iron Man. The bullets bounce off.” Bear pounds on his chest, trying to prove his manhood.
Bear winces as his eyes soak me in. “He looks like hell,” he argues. James glares at Bear, slapping him in the chest with the back of his hand… Bear shrugs. “Wasn’t joking. Look at him.” He throws out his arm toward me. “If hell had a look, it would be that.”
She shrugs, giving me a smile. “My life is so boring. Like, if white paint had a life, the shade would be Tamara.”
My Review:
This volume was action-packed and filled to the brim with smirk-worthy sizzle and sass, licentious humor, volatile family issues, life-threatening peril, bad-boy biker attraction, brassy levity, and only a small bit of slightly over the top melodrama. Sigh, I loves me some Chelle Bliss.
