5 freaking stars! On the hotness scale Mammoth is a SUPERNOVA!! I loved this book and this series is extra-special. Chelle Bliss’ writing just keeps getting better and better!
This was a nice book and I loved Mammoth <3
What worked:
- The book is beautifully well written;
- The plot is thick, I didn't get boring one bit. Even though the focus of the story wasn't always the main couple, I like it well enough and I did enjoyed;
- Mammoth is a great character. He is an MC with a moral compass, which I love! He is sweet, sexy, funny, protector, not at all an alpha-hole.
- I liked that the author throw a little b*tt play in it. The majority of novels I read seems so prude! But not here, there is dirty talk and both MCs are comfortable with their bodies and sexuality.
What didn't work:
- Insta-everything. Although the relationship itself take a little longer to develop, the insta-lust were so strong that sometimes seems very close to insta-love. Mammoth got one look at Tamara and wants to protect her and forgets she is almost everything he doesn't like in a women: he said he doesn't like feisty/mouthy women who throws themselves at him. Well, she is feisty, mouthy and throw herself on him. I'm not keen of these plot device, I think the MCs end up doing things they normally wouldn't do because of it.
- Tamara. I did not like her at all. She is childish and a bit stupid. If a guy is being a jerk to her and he says she has a nice ass or great boobs, she forget all about being mad at him and just beam. She have little sense of self-preservation, she teases and disobey Mammoth to the point I was getting annoyed for him.
- The epilogue. It wasn't bad by any means, but I would have liked to be about Tamara and Mammoth.
- No condoms used/ not safe.
Narration
Jacob Morgan is fantastic as always, I have no complaints. His voice is deep, sexy and growly. His pacing is spot on and he can differentiate the voices beautifully. Callie Dalton is not my favorite. Granted, I'm not keen of female narrators since the female lead sometimes end up b*tchy and whiny, and that's exactly what happened. Her narration was very good, pacing, different voices, etc. But I didn't like her voice, as I said, I though it was whiny at times. And with a FMC as Tamara, who is whiny by nature, it was almost unbearable. But this is very personal, listen to her and decide for yourself. 🙂
I was given this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
OMFG What an amazing addition to this series!! Mammoth and Tamara’s book was off the charts. This pair after having an instant connection had chemistry that was off of the charts. Pair that with the appearances of the rest of the Gallo family and you have a story that one can not put down until it was finished. I was hooked from the start of this book and now I can not wait for the next book in this series. I would definitely recommend this book and this series to others!
Tamara really lucked out with her man, “her face brightens immediately. “Big, bedazzled ***k and cooking skills. You’re like a dream man.” Mammoth loves to spoil his woman, “he ticks his head toward my bedroom. “I left an outfit for you on your bed. Put it on and then we’ll go.” I liked this book, I loved Mammoth.
Hello hotness!
You gotta love the Gallos. This family is full of great characters that will have you laughing while you fall in love with them. This is Tamara’s book and boy are you in for a hot treat.
Tamara and Mammoth are smoking. He’s the mighty beast and she’s a funny sassy spit fire. These two together are explosive and their story is burning up the pages. You’ll definitely want to check out this awesome read. Loved it!

*Review by Michelle
Wildfire begins with Tamara Gallo showing up at the Disciples compound to see one of the members, Crow, whom she met in the previous book. She did not get the reception she thought she would. When he sees Tamara, he blows her off in spectacular fashion. As he tells her to leave, Morris, the Disciples’ leader, appears at the door and informs Tamara that her family is worried sick about her and the she will not leave on her own. He brings her into the compound to see about getting her home safely. Tamara sits at the bar, where a very good looking member, Mammoth, gets her a drink. Morris tells Mammoth to look after her as he attends to Club business.
While Tamara sips her drink, she and Mammoth talk, and flirt. It doesn’t take long for the Club to go on lockdown and Mammoth is tasked with keeping her safe. Of course, sparks fly and they share some intimate moments together during said lockdown. Once the all-clear is given, Mammoth is the one who decides that he will be the one to get her home safely. Even though he has been told to keep his hands off of her by Morris, Mammoth finds himself wondering, for the first time, what if he can settle down and have someone for himself.
Once Mammoth and Tamara arrive at her grandparents’ place, things go a little awry when James sees Mammoth. Seems the two of them know each other from a club that they have frequented…..and not a motorcycle club. As for the rest of the Gallo family, especially the women, they welcomed Mammoth with open arms. When Mammoth and Tamara decide that they will be together, as in long term, they know it’ll be hard for a little while. Tamara is still in college and he has to deal with the fact that he is a full member of the Disciples. There are a few bumps along the way, but the two of them know what they want………and that’s each other.
Wildfire is another awesome story by Bliss. The chemistry between Tamara and Mammoth jumps off the page. I love the fact that Tamara is feisty and knows what she wants, and what she doesn’t. (She is a Gallo through and through!) Mammoth is a character that I didn’t see coming. I love his backstory and his willingness to do anything for those he loves. All of the Gallos show up in this one, which is always a good thing. The interactions are real and leave you wanting more. If you’ve not read Bliss, you are truly missing out. Her world building is second to none. I may have said this before, but I’ll say it again: I was hooked after one book and am so glad that I get to read what she writes and shares with us. I haven’t been this excited about a “new to me” author in a very long time. If you like your stories with a little humor, a lot of hotness and amazing characters, this is the series for you. Well done, Chelle Bliss!!! Very, very well done!
I absolutely loved Tamara and Mammoth. I loved how they met and just connected. Mammoth was very protective of her and didn’t shy away from the thought of a relationship, which totally shocked me. I figured him being a biker guy, a relationship would be the last thing he wanted. Tamara surprised me to. I didn’t really love her in the previous books but she was a spitfire and I loved that about her. She definitely kept Mammoth on his toes and you just never knew what she would say or do next.
There were quite a few places that I was absolutely wanting more in depth story telling of what was taking place but these were just glazed over. Not sure why. Loved the little surprise connection Mammoth has with one of the other characters from the original Men of Inked series.
And after reading the epilogue, I am definitely dying to get Lily’s book. I have a feeling that girl will surprise me just like the others have.
As usual, I devoured this story! Tam is definitely a wild child who likes to play with fire and Mammoth is the bad boy to keep it from turning into a full on Wildfire! There are some great “OMG” moments in this book! Can’t say enough good things about the next generation of Gallos! They are taking us by storm and I’m along for the ride!
Chelle has certainly turned up the heat factor on this one. It is scorching hot off the charts. I was trying to find ways to cool myself down. Whew!!! Holy hotness factor. Mammoth and Tamara together are explosive. These Gallo ladies are pure Rockchicks in my book. I also love the closeness of this family who would pretty much do anything for each other. Loved the epilogue where we get an insight into Lily… I cant wait for her story its gonna be a cracker.
Chelle Bliss delivers another hit with Wildfire! The Gallos are back but this time, it is one of the Gallo children, Tamara. Mix a hot as sin MC biker (JD aka Mammoth) filled with tattoos and a killer smirk, with a smart mouth, feisty, sassy, wild young woman who is off-limits, and you’ve got yourself one smokin’ hot, sizzlin’ romance! Tamara just may have met her match in Mammoth. Mammoth may have gotten more than he bargained for when he is elected to babysit Tamara until she can be returned to her family.
Wildfire was funny, suspenseful, dramatic, and angsty. I loved seeing the Gallos again. They are one of my favorites! It was very entertaining and well-written. The characters are all wonderful and addicting. I recommend reading this book. I can’t wait to read Lily’s story next!

Mammoth and Tamara are hot! I will admit that I was never really a fan of Tamara but Chelle has changed my mind with bringing Mammoth into her life. Mammoth….he is amazing! If you love City, you’ll love Mammoth. I really do not want to give anything away by saying how Mammoth brought the maturity out in Tamara but this is worth the read to find.out. I cannot wait to find out more on Lily’s book.
The author has done it again and brought us another great book. I love the direction she took with this story.
I love Tamera. She truly is a wild child and is one that needs taming. She never thought she would find someone that could handle her sass and tame her. It appeared she was all about fun and not much more.
OMG Mammoth was so sexy. Can we just take a moment an appreciate that name.. Yum, Mammoth. Any way I loved how he was an over all amazing guy and has a few secrets in how he likes things. but you will have to read the book to find out more about that.
I love how the Gallo family are so tight knit. They truly love each and every family member.
This was a great story which I so loved. The audio book was truly amazing and the narrators did a wonderful job. I would so recommend this story.
Wildfire is smoking hot!! Alpha biker Mammoth has met his match with this sexy little spitfire Tamara. All she wants is an adventure well he’s sure the hell ready to take her on one. I swear my kindle was smoking from these two! I love the Gallo family, their protective of one another, their dialogue and antics make me smile and laugh. I’m glad we are getting the second generation stories.
Tamara Gallo is a spitfire. She loves to have a good time. She doesn’t exactly plan on Mammoth though. Can she handle him once she finds out all of his secrets?
HOLY HOT DIRTY BIKER! Mammoth and Tamara’s chemistry is insanely hot!! I was obsessed with these two from the start! So hot and full of passion. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Gallo family book without the craziness that is the Gallo family!
I loved every sinfully sexy word of this book! GAH!!! I can’t get enough of these two amazing characters! 5 easy stars!
Five wild hell raising stars for the third book in the Men of Inked: Heatwave series. I always knew Tamara would stir up trouble and she did exactly that with a capital T. This girl went into things with her eyes only partly open and all it took was being blindsided and Mammoth showing her what she needed to open her eyes wide. These two are like a burning inferno and the chemistry that they have is explosive. He will be the calm to the storm that is her and she will be the home that is has been searching for. Judgements will be made, apologies will need to be said but these two will hold strong to each other. A story that will make you smile, have you cursing up a storm at James and heating up as Tamara and Mammoth light a fire so wild. As you reach the ending you will be left with wanting more of this couple that have managed to crawl their way deep under your skin and the epilogue will leave you hungry for the next book in this addictive series.
OMG! This was hot with a capital H. Chelle knows how to write steamy stories with the perfect amount of story, sexiness and romance blended together. This book had everything you’d expect from Chelle and so much more. Bada$$ alpha males are what she does best and Mammoth is the epitome of bada$$. Add in the spitfire Tamara and you have an explosive story that will burn up the pages.
Jacob Morgan has a voice like sweet honey and the perfect addition to this series. Callie Daton brought Tamar perfectly to life. Together these two were narration perfection and perfect for Wildfire.
Let’s not forget those ridiculous Gallos. Chelle had me laughing hysterically with all their shenanigans with so many laugh out loud moments mixed in with the sexiness of Mammoth and Tamara.
Oh and let me tell you how Ms. Bliss loves to give you a teasers. I mean that sneak peek at the end had my mouth watering for more and I cannot wait for Lily’s story. Oh holy h@ll that is going to be another epic ride.
Oh man this author really knows how to give us what we desire when these come along. The characters are so yummy you eat them right up. Tamara is one that keeps you guessing what she will do next as she is in search for that one. Since we have met her before it was more than easy to follow her. Mammoth is the other main squeeze and I do mean squeeze is what I would like to do with this one, but anyways he is quite taken with since the chemistry will burst that bubble and the readings will be off the graph. With this also being a MC it was such a pleasure to relish this one. The action between the two will give you whiplash at times with the story being one you skim right through. now to have to wait for more will be worth it I am sure.
Sometimes you go looking for one thing and end up finding something even better. That seems to be the perfect explanation of how Tamara meets Mammoth. It’s a very unexpected meeting that spirals into a fast and furious love story.
There were several scenes that I wish had gone more in depth. Maybe that’s a testament to just how much I liked this couple, I wanted it all. A few scenes were built up to be a much anticipated part of the book and instead of us actually getting to read how things went it was basically skipped over completely.
I also wish the epilogue was actually about them. I felt like there were many things left out in the open for Tamara and Mammoth. While I loved reading about Lily and Jett in the epilogue, because it gives a great insight for what we can expect in the next book in the series, I needed things more wrapped up for Tamara and her man. It sounds like there will be another book for them at some point, so I’ll keep my eyes open for that one.
OH EM GEE! This book!!! FIRE STEAMY JUST FREAKING HOT
The chemistry between Mammoth and Tamara is off the charts freaking good. This book leaves you feeling sooo satisfied and happy! It keeps you engrossed and continues to give you the family that we have all grown to love so intensely!
You want this book, you need this book, everything about it is absolutely amazing! That’s all I can say pure freaking amazingness is in between these pages!
5 stars Chelle! I can’t wait till this is on my shelf
