Inferno: Men of Inked: Heatwave, Book 12 (Unabridged‪)‬

More Heatwave Hotness! Fabulous Story & Narration🎧

I love, love, loved this book and spending time with the Gallo family is always a treat and an enjoyable time. Chelle Bliss creates something very special when she created her Gallo world. The characters are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with and their stories are not only captivating from start to end but they are escapism at its best. The “Men of Inked: Heatwave” series is the second generation spinoff of her “Men of Inked” series and it is always great when those characters, the parents, make appearances in these books too. This twelfth book brings us Stone Gallo’s story. Stone is Mike and Mia’s son and is a tattooist in the family-owned shop. Gigi was not happy with the way he was treating his girlfriend, but refrained from saying anything. When Stone steps in and sees her, he could not help himself and jumped in coming to her defense. No one ever stuck up for Opal before, and she had enough of Jeff’s verbal beat downs. Now she had no place to stay, Stone offered to help her, but she didn’t accept help easily. She goes with him and then they run into his Aunt Fran and Bear, and his aunt connected with Opal immediately. Opal tries to bail, but Stone is on to her and he and his aunt convince her to stay. Stone, the partier and player, is taken with Opal and is not sure how he feels about it. Opal has not had the best of lives, and is not used to people being so kind, helpful and protective. It amazed Opal how tight the Gallo family was, their love for one another and the camaraderie amongst them and how accepting they were of her. Opal’s ex is not done with her yet and both she and Stone need to watch their backs. Wow, I loved how everything played out in this book, and as usual, the writing, plotting; and world building is phenomenal. It was great to watch Stone fall head over heals for Opal and to watch Opal to grow into her own. Chelle Bliss, thank you for another fabulous story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 And for the fabulous narration, Jason Clarke and Samantha Brentmoor continue their magic at the mic and do an amazing job of bringing these characters and story to life. They understand the characters they are portraying, give each a voice that is firing and they are believable in every role they play. Brentmoor nailed it as Opal, grasping every side of her personality, from her vulnerable side to her more confident side as Opal grew into her own. Clarke’s Stone was spot on, an alpha with a heart, not afraid to show his protective and caring side. They were just as fantastic performing the roles of the secondary characters, too. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. These versatile voice artists are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another exceptional listen.
