Such a fun and sexy read! I enjoyed all three books and highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys a quick and sexy read full of strong family ties!

These were just meh for me. The characters were okay and it was a little spicy in places but it just felt like some of the dialogue was too cheesy. They were okay books but I’m probably not going to read any others in the series.

Good series!!! 👍

I’m struggling a bit with how to rate this. In retrospect I should’ve just gone with each one individually, but here we go.
For me, Flame and Burn are both worth five stars. I loved Gigi and Pike together, and I loved them separately. The banter was great, the spice was incredible, and the stories themselves were well thought out and put together. They were exciting and suspenseful, heartfelt and heartbreaking. I’m not kidding when I say I bawled like a baby when Gram gave Pike the letter from his mother. Full on ugly cried. This family is solidifying their spot in my heart.
Now for Wildfire. For me, this one was a 3.5 star at best (hence the overall 4 I gave it) I did not feel connected to Tam or Mammoth. It’s not that I didn’t like them (although Tamara did grate on my nerves quite a bit) but I just didn’t feel like there was enough of a story between them to even get to the point OF liking them. One day they were meeting and then f*cking and then WHAM in love, meeting the family, together forever. I don’t feel like this story had a climax or even a main plot point. It was just kind of meh for me. Then to sprinkle in the fact that he’s a Dom but in no way really flesh that out? I don’t know. Wildfire fell short for me. I’m hoping their second book can emotionally invest me in them as a couple more than this one did. I didn’t hate it, but I skimmed more than I read if I’m being honest, which is starkly different than Flame and Burn where I went back to reread passages over and over.
I’ll in no way stop reading this series or this author. Flame and Burn were enough to make me want to devour the rest. I just hope they’re a bit more gratifying than Wildfire ended up being for me.

Men of Inked Heatwave (Men of Inked: Heatwave #1-3) was a great read by Chelle Bliss. This book consists of; Flame, Burn, and Wildfire. Flame: Men of Inked: Heatwave, Book One was a great read by Chelle Bliss. Gigi Gallo has been used to motorcycles and tattoo guns since she was a child. Once she graduated college she started working at her families tattoo shop, Inked. She never expected that on her first day she would run into Pike, someone that unbeknownst to her family, she knows. Pike is trying to start new but his families dark past catches up to him. I loved reading Gigi and Pike’s story. Burn: Men of Inked: Heatwave, Book Two was another great read by Chelle Bliss. This book finished right where Flame ended. Gigi never wanted to fall in love until Pike came into her life. Pike cares about Gigi but his past is threatening their future. Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke did a great job narrating the characters so that you fall in love with them and care about what happens to them. Wildfire (Men of Inked: Heatwave #3) was another great read by Chelle Bliss. Tamara is a Gallo who feels as though she is missing something in her life. She goes to the Disciples Compound to look for a good time with a biker. Mammoth isn't the biker that she was looking for but he is everything that she wants. He is tasked with keeping Tamara safe while the club is on lockdown. This was another great read by Chelle Bliss and I can't wait to read more in this series. Callie Dalton, Jacob Morgan and Samantha Brentmoor did a great job of narrating the characters.

What a box set. This is the next generation of the Men Of Inked series which was so good. This time, we follow the daughters. The first and second follow Gigi and her cousins Tamara and Lily as they near graduation and ready to flee the nest.
This causes much anxiety to their parents. Especially as their girls are a chip off the old block. We follow Gigi as she is ready to graduate and join the artists of Inked. But the cousins have one last secret fling at the bike weekend in Daytona, where she meets Pike. After lying about her age, they spend a lovely few days together. On the premise of coffee, she then ventures back to her last semester without a goodbye.
However, a year later, who should turn up alongside her as their new artist if Inked.
Book one and two follow Gigi and Pike as they fall in love against her Dads wishes. Not all is smooth sailing as his past comes back to tip the boat.
Book three follows Tamara as she finds her own bad boy while hanging out at the MC that helped Gigi and Pike. Another Sassy lady with Attitude. But can Mamoth finally tame her. Can't wait to read the next in the series and Lily's story.

My feelings:
I love love love loved this book!
This was the one that had the first 3 of the series in one.
It was so good!
“I’ve never wanted anyone as badly as I want you. I’ve never felt so at peace with someone as I do you. I’ve never been surrounded by so much love as I have been with your family, even if they don’t like me.”
Very spicy and I loved being able to read the next one straight away!
“Have kids, they said,” he mutters. “It’ll be fun. Biggest fuckin’ lie of my life.”
Will be getting the rest in this series was very well written.

A must read!
"A DELICIOUSLY WILD RIDE!" doesn't even begin to describe it. This book was gripping from start to finish, making it a perfect introduction to the series. The shocking ending left me eager for book two, and I loved every moment with these unforgettable characters.
Pike and Gigi’s story continued with just as much passion, sweetness, and fiery chemistry. The Gallos are a one-of-a-kind family, and reconnecting with them was pure joy.
Then came Tamara and Mammoth — absolute fire! Their chemistry was explosive, with Mammoth’s rugged charm perfectly balancing Tamara's wild spirit. Their journey was intense, captivating, and undeniably HOT. I was hooked from start to finish. Highly recommend this series — and Saint, I’d obey you anywhere!

The Gallo family lives on
The three oldest girls are just as hot as their Dads and Moms
City and Suzy's Gigi, Anthony and Max's Tamara, and Mike and Mia's Lily are just as wild and sassy as three college kids can be on Spring Break in Daytona, FL during Bike Week without their parents knowledge . Gigi meets Pike and it's lust at first sight.
Fast forward 15 months, Gigi has graduated (the other two have one more year) and is now a full-fledged tattoo artist in the family business Inked. Guess who walks in after waiting three years to lease a chair in Inked?
F.un read and Chelle Bliss doesn't disappoint with this series. Looking forward to reading more

second generation gallos
Read the first book a while ago and although a good set to introduce tge second generation I agree with other readers that both Gigi and Tamara come over as spoilt, immature females. Good storyline but frankly the spoilt girls acted like juvenile bunny’s who had no sense of danger, although at the start I thought they were okay characters. The guys were too good for either one, so whilst I loved the guys and all the first generation characters was disappointed in the portrayal of the girls.

so good
Tamara, a spoiled Gallo young woman, goes to the Disciples compound to see Crow, who had told her to drop by sometime. When she shows up looking for Crow he was being a huge jerk toward her and was going to leave her out in the dark..alone, possibly walking the 3 hours home. Mammoth then comes to the rescue and invites her into the clubhouse to make sure she is and will be safe. Not saying much more as I don’t want to drop any spoilers but…I love Tamara and Mammoth together. These two are absolute fire!!!

It's been a while since catching up with the Gallo's.
I love reading about the Gallo's! City being my favorite. It's fitting that Gigi, his daughter, finds Pike, a biker of the Disciples MC and one that City does not approve of at first. Then there's Mammoth, his niece Tamara is now in love with fron the same MC. The Gallo's are a tight knit bunch thanks to Gma. Can Pike & Mammoth infiltrate them and win over their acceptance and love?

September 16, 2024I love this series!
This series follows the next generation of Gallows. These ladies are as fierce as the alpha men who love them. Flame and Burn give us Pike and GiGis story. While Wildfire is about Tamara and Mammoth. I highly recommend this series, especially if you're like me and prefer your MC stories without all the graphic gory details. I'm off to read the next book in this series.

What a great way to check in on the Gallos. Lots of laughs, romance and family.
Gigi Gallo gets her man, Pike in Heatwave. He won't have it easy, but neither would her dad, City. There story concludes in Burn. Pike and Gigi really heat up the pages.
Tamara Gallo gets more than she expected in Wildfire. Mammoth, is supposed to be keeping her safe, but who will protect his heart?

Great series!
I loved all the Gallo family books that started with City (Joe) Gallo, and this next gen series is a great continuation of their family tree stories. It’s hard to pick a favourite because they’re all unique to the characters being highlighted, but all contribute to a bigger picture of family dynamic.

WOW!
Talk about hot, omg! I couldn't stop. Made having the flu almost worth it. I was able to read until my heart's content. No one to bother the sick lady. If only they knew I was fantasizing about this book! They flowed into one another so seamlessly.
Very interesting and well written. Kept my attention with out even trying. Ready for the next one.

Good read
I really enjoyed this book. It was full of protective fun loving family and men who are gorgeous. Young women with older men who know danger and get into dangerous situations. Wonderfully written and full of love for each other. Having great guidance and history of longevity.

I’ve never given a 1-star rating before and it almost physically hurts me to do.
I really HATE DNFing books and I wish I could continue this series but I just can’t get passed it. I’ve heard a lot of good things about this series so I was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately, I just couldn’t get into it :(
I might try reading again in future.

All the books are great reads. Flame and GiGi, and Mammoth and Tamara. Hot alpha men with strong independent women. I enjoy Chelle Bliss books and this is the second generation to Men of Inked. Can't wait to read about the other children.

An entertaining series
This is an entertaining series with strong characters and plenty of steamy scenes. Some of the violence might be off-putting for some readers but still recommended for fans of the genre.

Love this series
I have read a few of Ms. Bliss' books, and they never disappoint.
The series revolves around the Inked shop and the members of the Gallo family.
I definitely recommend this series and Ms. Bliss' writing.

It was okay
The story was cute. Too many cliffhanger moments. Too many unanswered questions. A lot of repetitive word use. Really could have been fleshed out more. It was cute with some steamy scenes thrown in at random. I don't think I'll continue the series
