City & Suzy from Throttle Me are back in Honor Me… Find out what happens next to the favorite Men of Inked couple!
I had everything I ever wanted—a wife, a kid, with two more on the way. I was living the American dream. After the babies were born, we hit a rough patch. I did everything to prove my love, to show Suzy that nothing was more important than her. After some work and a lot of … lot of time, we found our groove again.
Just when life had evened out, a familiar enemy came back to haunt us. It wasn’t my past that followed us, but my brother’s. When the danger gets too close, I’ll do anything to defend my family. There’s nothing more important than the people I love, and I’ll protect what’s mine—even if it costs me my life.

To fall in love again with Suzy and Joseph Gallo!
I’ve been binge reading Men of Inked and I’m in love with this series and the characters. I love their banter, their love, their loyalty and even their nosiness. I love how they can count on each other for everything and how they protect and help their loved ones.
After falling in love and getting married, Joe and Suzy are even more connected and passionate than ever. And now, being parents of Gigi, they are expecting two new aditions to their family.
Their love is pure, intense, hot and runs deep! They are partners and lovers, friends and each other’s happy and safe place. And no matter the changes, no matter what they face, no matter the doubts and insecurities, their love only grows.
“When I look at you, I see the same girl I fell in love with. I love you more today than I loved you the day we got married. Everyday with you is like a gift. The fact that you’re doubting that has me scared”
One thing I loved about this book is that, even though the blurb was based on a serious and very important point of the plot, the whole story showed a lot of things about their lives and didn’t revolve around one single event.
There were sensible topics that I loved to read about and that more people should read. There were other arguments between the couples and, of course (as the blurb showed) a new danger. There were a lot of things happening, but it was amazing to read, because we saw their day to day lives, their problems, their solves, their fears, their overcoming and, mainly, their love.
‘I’ll always be there to rescue, my love. No matter what happens, I’ll be there to catch you when you fall”
It was beautiful and enticing, and once again, my love for this huge family grew!
It was wonderful visiting with City (Joe) and Suzy again, as well as all of the Gallo family. My how they have grown! I loved the banter, the heartaches and the dynamics that keep this family fiercely loyal to one another. I am glad Chelle thought to give us a look into post-partum depression and let everyone know it is treatable. With the return of some old enemies you get a look at Alpha and the way they protect their own. The series of Men of Inked is filled with hot Alpha males and I was thrilled to spend time with them again! Thank you Chelle Bliss for keeping it smooth and steamy, sad and funny, true to Gallo form. Loved it! (Except the one part towards the end where I wanted to strangle you before you pulled your throat out of my grasp! lol )
Favorite Quotes:
“We’re married. What’s his is mine and what’s mine is mine.”
“I have it in my will that you’re to be buried with me like the slaves in Egypt. You’re coming to the afterlife with me, baby.”
My Review:
It feels rather heavy – and the end of an era – to come to the last Men of Inked book. I love reading Chelle Bliss as much as I adore this loud and irreverent family with their outrageous antics, sexcapades, and spats. Ms. Bliss has mastered the art of writing steamy sensual scenes with the added bonus of entertaining hits of humor. I am going to miss this intriguing and complex family with their dirty mouths, dirty minds, and big hearts.

I love Joe, how he handles everything and the love and support he has for Suzy and all the family is strong and unrelenting. The problems they face after the birth are very real and a lot of women and couples face this and just try to plod through. Asking for and getting help is so important but sometimes the biggest hurdle is understanding you need it. This family as a whole is unbreakable, each have times where they are a little weaker because of some issue or other but others step up to enforce the barriers and keep them from falling down. This story has some wonderful humorous moments and I laughed, i could picture the faces of all around with the conversation and trying to figure out just how to answer without making things worse. There were also some suspenseful and worrying bits, where I stopped breathing and even had tears. At one point I actually wanted to yell at the author until I continued reading! I loved the characters and this book held me throughout, I didn’t want to put it down but life forced me too. Started 3/9/21 Finished 4/9/21
5 Sugar Stars!!
I was soooo freaking excited when I heard there was going to be another City and Suzy book! They are my favorite Men of Inked couple. Honor Me is everything I thought it would be and so so so much more! I didn’t realize just how much I missed this family and it felt good to be home again.
Honor Me centers the story around City and Suzy, who by this point, have been married a few years with one daughter and twin daughters on the way. Chelle touches on the subject of post-partum depression and I loved how she portrayed the struggle Joey has with not being able to help Suzy as she struggles with finding herself again. It takes a strong man to stay by his woman’s side while she questions everything about herself. His unconditional love and adoration is something every woman craves to find in a husband.
The loyalty this family has is as deep rooted as it comes and shows full force when the past comes back to haunt Thomas and the rest of the Gallos. I was on the edge of my seat and in tears, and at one time I thought I was going to have to unfriend her, but she restored my faith with her amazing story telling and all is well again!
The comradery in this family is just so amazing, but I have to say Gigi stole the show for me in this book. I found myself literally laughing out loud at the things coming out of her mouth that is “straight out of the mouths of babes”. Those dreaded moments we, as parents, always cringe on, but are hilarious to everyone else.
You don’t have to read the others to enjoy this book, but why wouldn’t you want to? One of my all time favorite series and totally worth #oneclicking today!

Honor Me (Men of Inked #6) is a continuation of Joe and Suzy’s story, boy has life changed for them. Oh the passion and romance is still there, but they now have a sassy little girl named Gigi, who has her father wrapped around her little finger, even though she is a lot like her Aunt Izzy. They also are about to welcome two more additions to the family, pink is now a favorite color for Joe. When Ma Gallo pushed her kids to give her grandchildren, they listened and held up their end of the bargain.
This book is mainly about Joe and Suzy, as they struggle with hormones, which Joe has no idea how to handle, so he just loves her through it. It also involves the whole Gallo clan, with the ladies getting some time of their own. When trouble comes in the form of the Sun Devils, the Gallos do what they always do, take care of their own.
Needless to say I have fell in love with City and Sugar all over again!!
Getting more of the Gallo family was amazing, but getting extra extra Joe and Suzy was a fantastic treat. This family continues to awe me with their loyalty and support. Add in the sexiness, suspense, and laugh out loud moments and you have an ABSOLUTE MUST READ!!!
OMG .. this book played with my emotions. Between my heart pounding, tears flowing and laughing until my ribs hurt, I couldn’t put it down til I finished. You will love this installment of Men of Inked.
I love the series by Chelle Bliss
Honor Me was a MORE. More Suzy, more City, more Gallos! I keep saying it about this author, she never disappoints. There is just something about these characters that I just never want to let them go. When Ms Bliss said she was writing this book I was ecstatic. As I began to read it I was of course enthralled in the world of these hot tempered but ever loving Italians. But as it continued on she built up a story that dang near slayed me and I almost crushed my Kindle at one point. I nearly lost my mind! I am not talking a little crazy I am talking full on insane crazy fit throwing in public. These scenes will cause a reader to express themselves vocally and loudly. This was so close to being one of the best books because it was so emotionally evocative. I don’t think I will ever reach a point of being tired of reading about these Gallos. They slay me with their passion and love. This was beautifully written and heart wrenchingly perfect.
I was beyond thrilled when it was announced that there would be another Men of Inked book. This has been my favorite series since I opened the first book, as much as I love the ALFA series, the guys got there start in the Men of Inked so this series will always have a special place on my shelves and in my heart.
City’s & Suzy are back y’all but not quite the way you remember them.
Suzy’s got some serious issues to deal with, and as much as Joe want’s to fix things for her he can’t. She’s got to accept outside help an get back on track herself and he has to accept that there are some things he can’t do for his wife, some things he no matter how much he wants to help he just cant.
To a man like Joe having his hands tied when it comes to his family is probably the worst thing that can happen, so while Suzy is struggling so is Joe.
Honor Me catches us up with our favorite family, all of the Gallo’s are back and I as most of you know am a HUGE Izzy & James fanatic so seeing them, especially Izzy’s smart mouth and James using his Dom voice an going all alpha on her was a bonus for me.
This time though the story is more focused on family relationships, yes I know every book in this series is based on their strong family ties but this one focuses on Joe & Suzy’s life, the changes they’ve been through and how they stick together to get through it, along with the rest of the Gallo’s of course!
Once they finally seem to have their life back on track something from the past comes after them and threatens the family. Once again they must work as a unit to keep everyone safe.
Honor Me has something for everyone. There’s the humor we’ve come to know and love but also angst, sadness and suffering, unconditional love, suspense and everything Gallo all wrapped up on one great story.
Joe’s unconditional love for Suzy made this book, his will to fight and never give up on her no matter how hard things got may have earned moved him closer to the top of the list when it comes to my favorite Gallo.
The 2 person POV is amazing the banter just makes you laugh, cry, angry and get the WTF look on your face and so totally worth it in the end. MUST READ story!!! You can’t stop till you reach the end and then your left with wanting more and more. For some reason you just can’t get enough of the words or how the story unfolds in front of your eyes, makes you feel as if your really there like a fly on the wall. The cover of this story fit it perfectly as well, matched the story to a “T”, not to mention it was amazing and really looked like City for that fact it could have been any of the Gallo men and their babes.

Once again Chelle Bliss takes her readers from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows. I have been a fan of this series for almost two years. I have eagerly awaited each new release & not once have I been disappointed. The true measure of a good author, IMO, is in the emotions they can pull from their reader & this book had me laughing so hard one minute & on the edge of my seat reaching for a tissue the next. And oh my, would that every woman could have a man like City (Joey) in their lives. Thank you again, Ms Bliss, for giving us another glimpse into the Gallo family. Would that we all could have a family like that, too!!!
** spoiler alert ** I loved this Gallo’s family from the minute I started reading the series, You got to love City & Suzy kid GIGI what she comes out with had me in stitches laughing. Then ready to ball my eyes out when I thought Thomas was dead. Notting more I can say it made me cry and laugh. Everybody needs Gallo boy in there life. Hope this will not be the end of the Gallo family.
