This is book #2, you will need to read book one as this one picks up right where one finished.
We continue the story with Gigi & Pike. Gigi takes Pike to her families Sunday dinner. Her Dad Joe lays into Pile almost right away. With a little intervention from Gigi’s mom Joe let’s Pike go and be with the family. Joe doesn’t like that Pike has put his daughter in harms way. He thinks Pike is no good for his daughter. Although Gigi can speak & make for herself, Joe doesn’t like her being with Pike.
Pike knows he’s not good enough for Gigi. But he loves her and wants to be with her.
Pike & Gigi go up to Tennessee and come home Pike’s young brother, Austin, who thinks he is a total ladies man. Austin is 17, and is ready to be adult and make his decisions. Pike is trying to get him to slow down. Joe doesn’t like that they now have his younger brother. Joe is worried that they are playing house and making decisions to fast. Pike didn’t even think about Austin’s high school grades, or records when they came down. They will need to work on his future plans.
Gigi loves being with Pike, but that also means more curve balls are headed her way and the Gallo family way.
I did receive a free ARC copy of this book from the author. I am freely leaving an honest review.
This is book 2 and picks right up after where Flame stopped. Chelle is an absolutely amazing writer and really out does herself every time. This book is spectacular and I couldn’t put it down. What a journey these two characters have been on and it was all so worth it! You get it all in the book sexy, hot, funny and sad all wrapped up in Pike and Gigi’s story. I can not wait to read the next book with Tamara. Please never let the Gallo’s stories end!
Omg I absolutely love everything Gallo. I absolutely love Gigi and Pike and when they are together they are explosive. Their story had me reading non stop. Every time I read any Gallo book, I swear I want too belong too this family. Truly an an read that will have everyone glued too their kindles. Another 5 Star read that everyone must one click.
Fantastic conclusion to Pike and Gigi’s story! Pike is just as swoony as ever and if possible I fell more in love with him. Gigi keeps herself a true Gallo, fierce but loving. I loved spending time with the whole family and getting to know the second generation better. The story flowed nicely and kept me page turning. I can’t wait for the next one!!
What an awesome conclusion to Pike and Gigi’s story. I have loved the Gallos since I met them in Throttle Me and this family is one of my all time favorites. I’m so happy they had so many kids so we can still experience the love and craziness of the Gallo family.
My heart broke for Pike and his little brother Austin with losing their mom. I just lost my mom and reading how Austin described his mother reminded me of what I went through.
I loved when Joe finally came around and saw Pike the way we all do. While it was a difficult journey for him to finally accept Pike, he finally came around. Gigi is the perfect little spitfire and she just loves giving Pike and her father a difficult time.
Definitely excited about Tamara’s book.
Burn picks up exactly where Flame left off. The book isn’t slow, but not a lot happens. It seems like most of the drama is between Pike and Joe. There is some action and quite a bit of humor. I can’t wait to read Tamara’s story.
Burn is Book 2 in the Men of Inked: Heatwave series. We pick back up with Gigi & Pike right where they left off. Pike is one sexy, tattooed man. Love these two together. This series is easy reading and keeps the pages turning. Love it!!
Gigi is one for not caring what others think, “I wasn’t asking your permission.” My eyes widen, and I bite my lip to stop myself from laughing. This chick is all sass and attitude.” Pike can only handle so much of his woman’s sass, “…moaning right afterward as I take another sip. “Darlin’, make that noise again, and the ladies are going to see more than my chest,” he warns me, giving no effs about the other women around us.” I lovwd seeing Pike, Gigi and the whole gang again.
This book lives up to its name…’Flame’ may have set you on fire but this book makes that fire BURN! I could not put this book down. I’m totally sad it’s over because I can’t get enough of Chelle’s words. There isn’t a single thing I don’t love about the Gallo family and Pike brought his A game in ‘Burn’ to help elevate him to their level. Just like book 1 in this series, book 2 is filled with action, sass, some very touching moments, laughter, and of course, steam!
I think for the first time ever I actually enjoyed the first book a little more than this one. That not to say that I think this one isn’t as good I just wasn’t feeling it as much as the first. I think I expected abit more action throughout. There’s lots going on but it didn’t have that can’t put it down feel for me. I loved all the interaction with City, he’s such a fun character to watch lose his mind and Gigi just wasn’t letting up on him. Pike and Gigi are such a perfect match and their relationship is going from strength to strength. There’s a lot of passion there and can’t see it ever waning.
I loved the set up for the next book in this series and I’ve got a feeling I’m going to absolutely love Crow.
5 Stars
Fan-fuckin-tastic!
That’s what the conclusion to Pike and Gigi’s story is…hands down. Chelle picks us up right where we left off in Flame and from there, it’s nothing short of a great ride. A great ride that includes all the twists and turns when you least expect it. These two have ALL the chemistry and the sexing (did I mention it’s super freaking HAWT sexing?), but it’s definitely not easy breezy. I am loving this new generation of Gallo’s and I can’t wait for Tamara’s book. One-click this book today, but make sure you pick up Flame too, it needs to be read first.

Burn picks ups were Flame left Gigi and Pike’s story, and boy do we get took on a wild ride. Love that no matter what was thrown at these two they were able to stay strong and deal with it together. As always nice to get more time with our favourite Gallo family.
Burn is book 2 in the men of inked heatwave series. This is the continuation of Pike and Gigi’s story. Pike and Gigi have already faced their share of hurdles, but their challenges aren’t over quite yet! This book picks up exactly where the last book left off, Pike father causing problems. Will Pike ever get away from his fathers poison? What happens when tragedy strikes and Pike is faced with a huge responsibility? Will City ever accept Pike? This book was an amazing conclusion of Pike and Gigi’s story, I can’t wait to see what’s next!
I have been reading this author since she started her Men of Inked series and each one has made me love them Pike and Gigi wow their story did not disappoint one single bit!!
This story has action, hot steamy all Inked men and the women who fall for them and hold on tight this couple fight for their future and I look forward to seeing glimpses of them in future books
As the completion of Pike and Gigi’s story, Burn is magnificent. Chelle Bliss gives us another outstanding Gallo story with all the hotness, humor and love that is the Gallos. Pike and Gigi’s story is amazing!
What a fantastic conclusion to Gigi and Pike’s journey! So many emotions! I laughed. I cried. I sat on the edge of my seat, needing to know what happened next! One thing is certain the Gallos take care of their own!
I loved every single word of this book! So much passion and hardcore love in this book. These two will hook your heart and never let go! An absolute MUST READ!!
* READ FLAME FIRST*
I am a Gallo fan through and through. I can’t get enough of this family and am so beyond excited to get the Second Generation. I love all the characters and the amazing story line. I always feel like part of the family while reading Chelle. She pulls me in and I can’t come up for air until the end. Can’t wait for more of this family and their awesome, intriguing story.
I have to admit after a few pages I couldn’t help but laugh. Pike is such a badass but totally afraid of Gigi’s family. These two together are off the charts hot but also the perfect match. Both stubborn but love fiercely. This was another amazing book. The plot is so entertaining you won’t be able to put this book down. I can’t wait for the next book in this incredible series.
We are back with Gigi and Pike exactly where we left them .. in big trouble. The main thing I love about all these books is the family love and it continues in this duet. Pike is the rough to Gigi’s smooth, he knows he’s not good enough for her and Joe makes sure he doesn’t forget it. Daddy Joe is just what I wanted but boy oh boy he mademe laugh so hard. I loved than when trouble came all the crazy Gallo men stepped up. If you think they’d have mellowed with age forget it they are NUTS. Seeing Gigi and Pike buidling something permanent despite all the opposition they face made me really happy. They are a seriously hot entertaining couple. Another great story.
