Suzy’s a control freak and has her life mapped out — work hard, find a man with a stable job, and live happily ever after. She’s content with the status quo, but her plan comes to a screeching halt when he enters her life and turns it upside down.
City gave up on love when his heart was crushed in college, preferring to be the typical bachelor. He spends his nights hopping from one bed to … bed to another and his days working at his family tattoo shop, Inked. A chance encounter on a dark road makes him question what he had sworn off forever — a relationship.
A night of passion and lust causes them to question everything. Is City the knight in shining armor to the damsel in distress? Can their relationship survive when a fantasy falls apart and a secret comes out that changes everything?
This is the first book in the Men of Inked Series.

City and Suzy make up the dream couple that most people can only dream about. This book sucks you in on the first page and you just can’t stop reading.
Throttle Me is the first book in the Men of Inked series, and I have no idea why it took me so long to start this series. I have fell in love with the Gallo’s, every last one of them and I cannot get enough. I guess I started backwards because I started with the Men of Inked Southside series which led me to start with the Men of Inked series.
That …
Chelle Bliss…I’m still melting from this read…
Smoldering, hot…passionate. 5 stars!

Suzy knows that he is not Mr. Right but hell it …
Amazing things can happen when your car breaks down on the side of the road. Perfect timing when this happens for these two people and luckily they were willing to take a chance on each other. I loved listening to this book and can only hope I get to listen to the next in this series in the future.
This was my first read by this author, and I absolutely loved it. Her writing and the story were absolutely perfect! Both characters were guarding their hearts due to their pasts, so it took them a while to come to their senses, but the ride to their happily ever after was amazing!
Loved this book and the book cover! It will be one of my favorite reads. You have a shy girl with naughty desires and a sexy bad boy who will make you want to drop your panties. Instant chemistry and steamy sex. I loved the interaction with all the characters and the storyline. Can’t wait until the next book in this series!
Favorite Quotes:

“I was happy with my bland sex life and you had to go and ruin me with all those trashy novels.”
“He’d ruined me for any other man that could’ve had a place in my future. How could …
A steamy novel that challenges my view of tattoos and piercings. The twist at the end is heartwarming! Have to love the Italian family values!
Absolutely love the chemistry between City and Suzy. Unexpected and keeps your attention. A must read that will leave you breathless. Great start to the amazing Gallo stories.
I read this as a quick break from my own writing. What I didn’t expect was to really love these characters. I LOVE that there is a storyline there, amongst the steamy scenes. Most books in this genre have no storyline, plot or character development.
Please tell me there are more books with Suzy and City?

“Sometimes life doesn’t give us what we’re looking for, but it gives us what is supposed to be. We just have to be willing to take the plunge. Live a little. Take a risk for once.” – Chelle Bliss
I read this a few years ago, but listening to it again on audio made it even better! The Gallo’s are one of my favourite book families and I loved …
Audio Review
This was one of the first books I read by this author and I was excited to have City and Suzy come to life through the narrators Lance Greenfield and Kirsten Leigh and boy did this duo do a great job.
City is a character that oozes sex appeal, he loves to dominate and control but when it comes to his life with Suzy we also get to see …
Another Gallo Alpha to drool over! Loved it!
Would recommend this book to all my avid Chelle readers. She does not disappoint!
I absolutely loved this book. So much I am looking for the rest of the series. I went to my library in town and checked out the next one because I really cant afford to buy them unless they are free or 1.00.
great series
This is the first book of an amazing series. The series is about a family called the Gallo’s and each of the siblings finding their “one”.
This book features the story of City and Suzy. These two first meet when Suzy is on the side of the road with a broken down car. City sees her standing there while he is on his way to his favorite bar. He …
Great flow of story.No filling with constant rehashing. Loved the characters.Reading book two and am not disappointed. Loving this series.
