Men of Inked Blog Tour Reviews for Throttle Me, Hook Me, Throttled & Resist Me
This series lives up to the gorgeous covers. HOT, HOT, HOT!!! The Gallo family has me obsessed and I cannot wait to read Uncover Me (Thomas's story) and his story is Untitled, but I cannot wait to get in to Anthony's head! Stars are not hot enough for the Gallo family, so I will be reviewing with flames instead.
Throttle Me
Synopsis
Suzy’s a control freak and has her life mapped out - work hard, find a man with a stable job, and live happily ever after. She’s content with the status quo, but her plan comes to a screeching halt when he enters her life and turns it upside down.
City gave up on love when his heart was crushed in college, preferring to be the typical bachelor. He spends his nights hopping from one bed to another and his days working at his family tattoo shop, Inked. A chance encounter on a dark road makes him question what he had sworn off forever – a relationship.
A night of passion and lust causes them to question everything. Is City the knight in shining armor to the damsel in distress? Can their relationship survive when a fantasy falls apart and a secret comes out that changes everything?
Review Oh Joseph Gallo…you are my kind of “City”. City runs a tattoo shop with his siblings and is the bad boy book boyfriend ultimate package: the bad ass biker, covered in tattoos, pierced in all the right places that will smack your ass, but also whisper sweet nothings in your ear and take you home to meet the parents. Something about the good guy that has a filthy mouth makes me cling to my Kindle! Suzy…eh she was Ok. Little to weak for me, but she still had a likable side. I am queen of OCD and even I wanted to grab that checklist from her and smack her upside the skull. Get with it girlfriend, not everything in life is mapped out. These two are polar opposites, but you know what they say…opposites attract and when these two connect, it is electric. What Suzy lacked, City more than made up for. I also loved “meeting” the other Gallo’s. I just know they all have unique stories to tell and I cannot wait to read all about them. Great intro into what seems to be a series that is right up my alley! Four Flames 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Hook Me
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.
Review These Gallo brothers are working their way in to my heart one by one!! Just when I thought City would never be knocked out of the top spot, along comes the next Gallo; Michael Gallo, piercer by day and MMA fighter by night. Nothing gives Michael a rush more than a fight. This time the fight of his life will be love. Mia is the doctor that helped him when he cracked his ribs after a fight. The sparks flew and Michael knew there was something different about this woman. They meet again when she comes to the rescue with a family tragedy. I loved these two together. Mia seemed quiet and meek and first, but this kitten has claws and she will need them to keep up with Michael’s lifestyle and the bit of crazy he has lurking. Another entertaining read in this sexy series. I absolutely cannot wait to dive in to the remaining Gallo’s. I love their family dynamic. Four Flames 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Review This is not a standalone, but a great continuation of Suzy & City from Throttle Me. I love them as a couple and being able to continue on with their story was fun especially when the Gallo's are involved. City and Suzy are still scorching hot and I got an epilogue! Making this a well rounded, perfect novella. So to sum it up: Revisit a favorite couple - CHECK Giggle at the Gallo dynamic - CHECK Get a dash of smut - CHECK Get an epic epilogue - CHECK CHECK CHECK Four Flames 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Resist Me
Synopsis
Izzy Gallo has never been described as a member of the weaker sex. She’s a woman who doesn’t take shit from anyone. Growing up with four older overprotective brothers has hardened her, making her a force to be reckoned with.
Against the wishes of her two brothers, Joe and Mike, Izzy takes a weekend trip to Bike Week in Daytona, turning her world upside down.
Over her head, in a world she doesn’t understand, there’s only one man who can save her.
James Caldo has dedicated his life to protect and serve as a member of the DEA. He’s cocky, overbearing, and doesn’t take no for an answer – the Gallo men have nothing on him.
When their paths cross, James makes Izzy question everything she believes about completely surrendering to the opposite sex.
Does James have what it takes to overpower the headstrong Izzy, capturing her heart forever?
Review YES! I knew I would enjoy Izzy's story. She is a firecracker. It is good to see a female character not take any crap from a man and speak her mind. I love her. Her alone made me give this 5 stars! There needs to be more strong female leads! You really do need to read Throttle Me, Hook Me, and Throttled to truly enjoy the complete Gallo dynamic. They are a realistic family. One that swears, yells and loves with all they have. The smart mouth, killer body and looks that comes along with being a Gallo were not lost on the only girl in the family. Growing up with four brothers, she is also loaded with attitude, but she has finally met her match in James. I loved the banter between Izzy and James. James Caldo can go toe to toe with Izzy any day when it comes to their feisty personalities. He knows what he wants in and out of the bedroom and that scares her to a point where she is convinced she cannot be with him. Then she realizes that letting go of a bit of control is exactly what she needs. She can no longer deny what is right in front of her. I am DYING to see how this one continues in Uncover Me. This is not the last of Izzy, James and Thomas, the one Gallo who has been MIA until now. This story is far from over. FIVE Scorching Flames 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
