Could you love a man surrounded by danger?

Gigi Gallo’s childhood was filled with the roar of a motorcycle and the hum of a tattoo gun. Fresh out of college, she’s about to start working at her family’s tattoo studio — Inked. But when she shows up the first day, she never expects to run into someone tall, dark, and totally sexy from her not-so-innocent past.

Pike Moore is a bossy biker with a cocky attitude and an even bigger ego. He came to Inked to start over. New town. New job. New roots. None of that included coming face-to-face with the hot chick who spent a week in his bed before she vanished without a trace.

But when Pike’s dark family history catches up with him, can he stop Gigi from being caught in the crossfire?

Flame is book one in the Men of Inked: Heatwave series by USA Today bestselling author Chelle Bliss. The Men of Inked: Heatwave series features steamy romance, hot heroes, and strong women.

Love the characters - unique- an MC romance - with no derogatory treatment of women!!!
Exciting story line Gigi & Like meet up at Spring Break- where Bikers week is happening!!! Things are going great- until....she slips away - he didn't have her info! Almost a year and 1/2 later they meet up, and so does his past!!! Exciting, some hot moments, incredible characters! A must read!!!

Really good read - easy to identify the characters. Hot hot 🔥 scenes. That will keep you up reading way past bedtime !! Only flaw - it’s a cliff hanger ending. And I hate. Those with a passion. So then you have to buy the second book because you’re invested in this couple and family. Let’s hope book 2 is as readable as number 1.

Flame is out of this world sexy and witty and full of heart!!

Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2019

Flame is fanfreakingtastic! Chelle Bliss has clearly brought her writing to another level as the story of Gigi Gallo, daughter to City and Suzy, kept me captivated from the very first words until the last lines were read. I just adore Gigi and that crazy Gallo spirit. Despite her young years, the woman knows what she wants and when she wants it and prayers are definitely needed for anyone who dares tell her no. Even her macho father and the rest of the protective family she loves with all of her heart. There is amazing banter, as usual, when these Gallos are together and trying their hardest not to lose tempers or their minds! Gigi is as feisty as her dear Aunt Izzy and gives everyone more than their fair share of worry when she finds Pike Moore in her life after 'knowing' him 15 months prior. As not only the man who will be manning a chair at her beloved Inked but as the one who is destined to drive her a bit crazy, both in and out of the bedroom.

The flow of this story is perfect, Bliss allowing Gigi and Pike to reacquaint themselves while both trying their hardest to pretend they don't know each other at the same time still lusting for one more taste. The hilarity at the situation is not lost on either of them, realizing how interwoven their lives truly are now.

Bliss takes her time in reigniting the passion, and boy is there plenty to swoon over once that fire is lit. The true love that emerges is just that: sincere and credible. Pike is sexy as sin but has a heart of gold. And Gigi is feisty and a bit of a smart-ass but has a vulnerability that only a man like Pike can protect. They are both a bit skittish when it comes to matters of the heart but they somehow find a way, and it's one hell of a crazy path they embark upon, to be that forever someone to each other no matter what.

There is much more than just romance in this well thought-out and perfectly-paced book as Pike's past comes back with a vengeance and James Gallo along with his brothers get to show a bit of their muscle, both figuratively and literally, usually held under wraps. There are layers to this book that took me by surprise and added the absolute right touch to the burgeoning romance between Gigi and Pike.

The story is not over as we now wait for book two and what promises to be one wild conclusion to this unexpected love affair. I can only imagine what is to come and hope the wait isn't too long.

Chelle Bliss has written some of her best words and happily give Flame a huge 5 stars!

Flame by Chelle Bliss

Men of Inked: Heatwave book one

I've read books before by Chelle Bliss so I knew this would be a great read and I have to say this was fantastic. I'll be looking for the next book when it goes on sale for sure. He meets Gigi at Bike Week in Daytona Beach and they just have sparks flying between them but the next morning she's gone and he goes on with his life. Little does he know she's the bosses daughter at his new job.

Pike Moore had rough childhood with parents who wouldn't win any best parents awards. He's tried to find a place to settle down and just do his art at Inked but when Gigi walks in on her first day of work he knows that even though he wants to steer clear he wants the sparks all those months ago at bike week.

Gigi Gallo has always wanted one thing to do her art at her families Tattoo studio Inked but everyone wants her to go in another direction. But her little secret trip to Daytona on spring break will walk into the shop she knows this is what she wants with all her heart. Now how does she convince him of that? When Pike's past shows up and kidnaps her he'll do whatever is necessary to get Gigi back because she's his heart and soul.

Strong start but…

Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2023

I got into this book pretty quickly, and it felt like it had great tempo & a pretty solid storyline (for the most part)…..but it really started to fall apart for me towards the end.

Some spoilers below!

Pike was talking about wanting to plant roots & realizing that he wanted to have a real relationship with Gigi, and that he’d need to convince her & show her he he was ready. But then all of a sudden, after everything that went down, he has some kind of existential crisis or something & is ready to run?! That makes so sense & seemed ridiculously over the top. The very last scene also felt kind of like it came out of nowhere, and the timeframe of those events also didn’t add up at all.
I was also surprised that they never once discussed the reason behind Gigi fleeing from him in Daytona. Who the frick texted him? I’d guess it was Morris, but that just felt like a loose thread.
The spicy scenes were pretty good, but definitely fell short & sort of felt cut off in some ways for me.
Basically, the 10% or so of the book dragged it down by a solid 1-1.75 stars for me.
I hope the next book is better.

Very entertaining it has a little bit of everything you like in an MC Book. Loyalty, conflict, tension and passion. Their relationship is heated and very strong willed women in that family.

Gigi her cousin and friends went where the shouldn’t have and met Pike and they spend a good time together. Then Gigi up and leaves with no explanation. 15 months later they meet up again at her family tattoo shop. Both are starting as new tattoo artists. Then trouble arrives thanks to his father who he hasn’t seen for 15 years. This is a great rest that keeps you read until you finish. I can’t wait to read the next book.

Previsível

Reviewed in Brazil on March 1, 2021

Verified Purchase

Achei o casal bem heterogêneo: de um lado, Pike, uma cara com passado sofrido, mas muito carinhoso, romântico, muito centrado e muito responsável e consciente do que e de quem quer. De outro lado, Gigi, com família estabelecida, mas sem perspectivas, bem mimada e muito imatura.
Por vezes, seus diálogos beiravam a infantilidade.
Além disso, achei a trama extremamente previsível e rasa. Tudo acontece e se resolve rapidamente, sem nenhum twist que seja para dar gosto ou nos forçar uma mudança para dar agilidade ou sabor extra ao livro.
O estúdio e a tatuagem, que seriam o ponto focal da trama (pelo menos o título nos leva a crer nisso), são meramente citados, sem qualquer profundidade. Nem sequer se descreve tattoos nele ou nela, por exemplo. Achei que o livro foi curto e corrido. Parecia “forçação de barra” para uma continuação.
