Review: Throttled by Chelle Bliss

Throttled Buy Links:

Amazon US | Barnes & Noble | Kobo | iTunes
 
Throttled Synopsis: She’s about to become his – Mrs. Joseph Gallo. All she wants is to be his, but his possessiveness days before the wedding has her questioning the reality of a happily ever after. He’s not easy. He’s territorial and doesn’t share well with others. City’s staking his claim, making Suzy his forever. Their future teeters precariously on the cliff of matrimonial bliss. Will their love survive his alpha nature or will it all unravel before she can say ‘I do’?

My Review

Holy Toledo Batman! City is one hot Alpha male in this book. I thought that he was hot in Throttle Me but he gets better. Actually all the Gallo men are hot. If they exist in real life, please point me in their direction. ;)

Anyway, Suzy and City find their happily ever after in this book. But we all know, not all roads in a storyline are smooth. There has to be a little bit of drama, right? That comes from City's uber alphaness (it's a word right?) and jealousy. A little bit of loving fixes it all. Who could stay made at Joseph 'City' Gallo for long? 

This novella sets you up for Izzy's book, Resist Me. You meet the new additions in this book. How they relate to the characters, I can not say. You'll have to read it to find out. =)

My all time favorite character from the series is Mrs. G. I love listening to her commentary with her kids. She is hilarious. Anthony is great too. His banter with his siblings is pretty funny.

Chelle Bliss' writing captivates you from the beginning. She uses STEAMY love scenes and humor to entertain the reader. She has quickly become one of my favorite authors.

My overall thoughts of this book are that I LOVED IT. If you have not read the Men of Inked Series yet, well why haven't you? Pick up Throttle Me first before you read this one, though. Chelle Bliss' books are a must read. Recommend for readers 18+. 

**Note:I received this book from the author, in exchange for an honest review.**

My Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars

A.C Bextor - Holding On

This novel contains material that is not suitable for individuals under the age of 18. Content includes: drug use, explicit language, violence, rape, and other scenarios with content that readers may find offensive. Please use caution when deciding on this book, as every reader has the right to understand the product before purchase. This book is one of two and does not contain an exact HEA as the reader may expect, yet. “You are mine. You’ve been mine since you took those training wheels off that pink bike of yours and fell at my feet. Never even cried, you didn’t. Just sat on my lap trusting that I had you. Well I have you now, baby. You’re grown up, you’re a woman, and you’re mine. Mine.” That’s Shame. My brothers best friend and the Vice President of Lights of Peril MC. Along with my best friend Sadey, we’ve all grown up together. I don’t have a memory that isn’t surrounded by the four of us. Years together as friends and often times in the face of adversity has led Shame, Hem, Mace, and Sadey to share their lives now as adults. Sadey and Mace have been best friends since they were five years old. As a child, teenager, and then young woman, Sadey longed for Hem to notice her. As years passed, she vowed to save all of herself for him with the hope that one day he would see her as the woman she was turning herself into, not just the child he remembers. Mace and Hem are siblings that grew up in a small town in the Midwest. Sharing the same mother, Mace’s father refuses to accept Hem as his own, leading him to a life similar to that of his biological father. Hem never set out to be President of the Lights of Peril Motorcycle Club, but when he left home at 17 to find the acceptance he was so desperate for, he ended up finding Doc. After Doc's passing Hem was determined to lead Peril into a clean existence. The story is about love, heartache, and tragedy. Sometimes we search our whole lives for something we think we are missing, only to find out what we had with us is what we were looking for all along.

Book Tour, Review & Giveaway: Hook Me by Chelle Bliss




Title: Hook Me (Men of Inked, #2)

Author: Chelle Bliss

Genre: Erotic, Contemporary Romance

Release Date: June 6, 2014



Synopsis



Michael Gallo found his calling in life – he wants to kick ass. He works at Inked as a piercer, but spends his mornings training and dreaming of winning an UFC championship. Michael is the road to achieving his goal when a chance encounter alters his world forever. The title is no longer enough – he must capture the woman of his dreams. 



Dr. Mia Greco is dedicated to saving lives and helping those less fortunate. She doesn’t have time to meet Mr. Right with her busy schedule. She buries herself in her work and helping humanity. Fate steps in and sweeps the carpet out from under her. She tries to deny the pull to him, a man that uses his fists for gain, but the universe won’t let her walk away so easy and Michael isn’t one to take no for an answer.



He has a secret that may rip them apart. There are forces bigger than them at work; drawing them in and making their worlds collide – not letting either one of them walk away.




My Review

Ms. Bliss takes the reader on an entertaining adventure with Michael and Mia. You fall in love with the characters and at the same time laugh at their antics. Michael is one of the hottest characters because not only is he sexy as hell but has a heart of gold. Especially when it comes to Mia.

The two best characters, other than Michael, would have to be Mrs. Gallo and Tammy. Mrs. Gallo because of her straight forward way of talking to her children. Plus she has grandbabies on the brain all the time. Tammy, well you would expect to hate her because she is the supposed "villain". But Tammy is coo coo crazy in a funny way and you end up laughing at most of the things she does.


My overall thoughts of this book are that it lives up to it's predecessor. The Men of Inked is an awesome series and I look forward to reading more books. I highly recommend this one but only to readers that are 18+ due to HOT and STEAMY scenes. ;) 


My Rating is 5 out of 5 Stars

Hook Me - Excerpt


His hand rested against my back, pulling me closer, and I became lost in his kiss. The feel of his rough thumb pad as he stroked my face made my body feel on fire. The sound of the rain beating against the truck, the thunder rumbling outside, and our breath frantic and quick, filled the cab.


I climbed in his lap as he gripped my ass and pulled my bottom to him. I could feel his hardness against me and I ached to feel him inside.


I couldn’t deny myself any longer.


“Take me home, Michael. Stay with me tonight.” I didn’t even have to think about it.


I wanted him.


The light touches, commanding kisses, and the feel of his hardness had me wanting more, needing it.


“Mia, I don’t know if that’s a good idea,” he whispered against my lips.


“I want to feel your skin against me. Remind me what it feels like to be loved, Michael. Show me the beauty and make me forget.” I held myself up and stared in his eyes.
“Please,” I begged.



His fingers swept against my cheek and I leaned into his touch, closing my eyes. “I’ll do anything you ask,” he said.

Hook Me - Excerpt



The latch snapped. I could do this. The nearness of him dulled my fear.




His fingers brushed against my mound, sending an electric current through my body, as he grabbed the latched. “Safe and secure,” he said, pulling on the latch with a chuckle.




I opened my eyes and looked down at him. “I wouldn’t use either of those words right now,” I said as I smacked his shoulder.




I wasn’t talking about parasailing either.




“Come on, beautiful. There’s no turning back now. Up ya go,” he said, grabbing my legs and throwing me my over his shoulder.




I squealed as I flopped against his body, my chest colliding with his shoulder. I smacked his back; bouncing as I kicked trying to break free. “Put me down!” I yelled and laughed.




“My view is too damn good to do that, Doc,” he said and swatted my ass.




“Pig.” I reached down and tried pinched his ass.




Fucker was rock solid and I could barely get enough between my fingers.




“Nice try,” he said, unaffected by my effort and swatting me on the ass again.




I yelped, the sting from palm making me wish I could reach back and rub the tender spot. “Ugh,” I said as I bounced and grew slack in his arms, finally defeated.




The beach disappeared as he stepped on the boat. “Will you put me down now, please?” I asked, trying to sound sweet as sugar.




“If I must,” he said before placing a light kiss against my hip.




I closed my eyes and tried not to think about it, about him. The feel of his mouth against skin that hadn’t been touched in so long had me at my breaking point.




He wrapped his arms around my legs, pushing the harness into me, before pulling my body down against him. He controlled the speed, making the journey to my feet as drawn out as possible.




By the time my feet touched the boat I forgot how scared I had been. The sexual frustration I felt trumped everything. “You’re not safe,” I whispered as I looked up at him with one eye, the sun behind his head almost blinding me.




He laughed, pulling me against his shaking body. “Doc, I’ll make sure you survive the trip up there.” He bent down rubbing his nose against mine.




“It’s not the ride I’m talking about, Michael.”




“I know.” He smiled and kissed me, his lips shaking under mine from the laughter still rumbling through his chest.
