Ratings and reviews

Ember is a wonderful addition to the Men of Inked: Heatwave Series. As soon as I saw the blurb for Rocco and Rebel’s story I knew we were going to be in for one very special read and Ms Bliss did not disappoint because this book was everything I expected and so much more. It’s beautifully written, it’s emotional and it will certainly tug on your heart strings. It was always going to take a special lady to win Rocco’s heart after all he has a very special mother to compare all woman too but as soon as I met Rebel I knew this single mum from his past was going to be that woman. This is a fast paced, emotional and passionate story that touched me on so many levels, I loved Rocco and Rebel, I smiled, I swooned and I sighed but it was an adorable little girl called Adeline who stole the show with her classic one liners that left me giggling. . I love the Gallo family and just when I think I have read the best from this series, we get another heartthrob to fall hard and fast for, we get more characters to add depth to the family and we get another read we won’t forget. Im really loving this second generation series and I’m excited for the next instalment.

5 star Review Ember (Men of Inked: Heatwave #7) by Chelle Bliss After finishing Spark, I was a little worried about what Chelle Bliss had in store for Ember, book seven in the Men of Inked: Heatwave series. Having read all the previous books I was convinced that I have already read my favourite but I wasn’t counting on James and Izzy’s son Rocco who I adore. I fell hard and fast for this swoon worthy, caring, protective and passionate man and knew that the woman who earned his love would need to be special. When I learnt that the woman who burrowed deep down into his soul is Rebel, a woman from his past and that she is also a single mum, I knew we were in for one heck of a ride. This was a fast paced, passionate, story which will keep you on the edge of your seat as danger and suspense unfolds. Reading a book about any member of the Gallo family is for me like catching up with much loved family members. There is humour, steam, tears and an adorable little girl called Adeline who almost stole the book right out from under the Gallo clan. This book is all about love and family and what one will do for the person who holds their heart. I love this generation of the Gallo’s as much as the originals.

First, if you've never read or listened to a Chelle Bliss book, you need to! I'm fairly new to her books, but I'm loving every book. Including Ember. This second chance romance is so perfectly named. Things get dark and circumstances come between Rocco and Rebel, but the flame doesn't go completely out, even ten years later. Rebel is a strong woman, determined to make it on her own, but the Caldo brothers don't give her much choice other than to let them help her. The chemistry between her and Rocco is off the charts, and these two really bring the heat. And Rocco - Well, Rocco is one of those completely swoony alpha males that you're not likely to forget, one that easily lands in the top ten book boyfriend list. Add in how thoroughly Rebel's very precocious five-year-old has him wrapped around her finger, and he's that much sweeter. We also get plenty of page time with Rocco's larger-than-life family, including some past favorites. Samantha Brentmoor and Connor Crais voice these characters, and Chelle Bliss couldn't have chosen any better for Rocco and Rebel. The narration captures the emotion of the story perfectly. Whether it's danger or love or swoony heat, it all comes through loud and clear. I've listened to both of these narrators before, so I expected good things from them, and boy, did they deliver. Finally, and this probably should've been first because it's the first thing you see, but can we take a second for some cover love? That's one hot cover for an equally hot leading man.
