The Caldo/Gallos are of too colder climes for a Christmas celebration to remember. All in aid of Grandpa Sal. Who wants a white Christmas just like the ones he had as a boy.
But the majority of the family are used to a much more sunnier climate and aren't exactly fans of the cold and snow.
Yet, they are willing to suck it up for Sal and make his Christmas wish come true.
And with a chapter from each of the grandchildren including Gigi, Lily, Nick and Tamara. This was a brilliant read. That reminds us all to make the most of the time we have with our loved ones.

Inked Holiday is the perfect Christmas treat and such a cute and wonderful way to catch up with the Gallos! The Gallos are my favorite family of all time and of course they brought the laughs, charm and heartwarming moments. I loved it!

Omg I never get enough of the Gallo family from paperback to audiobook, this family and Chelle feel like home to me. The humor and love of this family is endless and with Samantha and Lance narrating I can't get enough. In this holiday novella the whole families together and i couldn't be happier.

Chelle Bliss has given us yet another fab Christmas bonus as we get to see how all the Gallo cousins are faring as they enjoy married life and their burgeoning little families.
Everyone is getting acclimated to the cold as the parents rented winter cabins surrounded by a ton of snow. But although many of these Floridians are griping about the weather, they find a way to enjoy themselves as the crazy boisterous group, they are.
There are plenty of points of view as all of these wonderful Gallos realize just how lucky they are to have each other. I love this bunch and any excuse to hang with them is always a gift.
We also get a copy of an older Christmas novella showing us Gallo faithful just how grateful every generation has been for the family they have been a part of. Truly making the joy of the holidays that much more meaningful.
5 stars!

5 star Review Inked Holiday (A Men of Inked Short Story) by Chelle Bliss
eBook/Audio
Having enjoyed previous books in the series, when I heard that Chelle Bliss was releasing a holiday novella in the Men of Inked series, I was excited.
Told from multiple points of view, we got to catch up on the whole family as they celebrate the holidays in North Carolina mountains thanks to the patriarch of the family, a far cry from their home state of Florida.
There was a lot going on in this book and the banter between them is always witty and entertaining. A wonderful story that had me smiling throughut.
Lance Greenfield and Samantha Brentmoor did a great job with their narration. They brought all the fun, romance and heat to life with their performances. Bot only are their voices easy to listen to but they did justice to this wonderful holiday story that Chelle Bliss wrote.

Inked Holiday
It’s always amazing to get together with the Gallo family! But especially at Christmas time with the whole family being together and seeing the next generation of kids, continuing traditions that were started by Sal and Maria. I love that the original five boys had such amazing families, and then the children of those families have carried on the traditions set in place. It’s so heartwarming to read about a family like this. I totally loved this short story and hope that a lot of you pick it up and read about the Gallo family. They are so amazingly beautiful to read about and if you haven’t met them yet, you should go read the book that started it all - Throttle Me. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A snowy Gallo Christmas
What a wonderful Christmas surprise from Chelle Bliss. INKED HOLIDAY was a wonderful catch up with the Gallo cousins and their families.
Sal Gallo, the patriarch, has decided that the family is to spend their Christmas in the snowy mountains of North Carolina. Not exactly a place Florida natives want to be.
Each chapter is told from a different cousin's POV, and they're filled with fun, laughter, teasing, and the inevitable comments about how cold it is.
I love getting together with the Gallos, and as usual Chelle had me constantly grinning.

If you love the Gallo family series, you will love this quick holiday read/audiobook!
In this quick holiday read, we catch up with the latest generation at Christmas time, creating new traditions and holiday memories. This quick read was told from multiple POVs from the different books of the various series and gives a brief glimpse into the family as it continues to grow. It is a great way to catch up with everyone in the Gallo family.
Lance Greenfield and Samantha Brentmoor narrated the audio version of this book, and the pair did a great job telling this story and bringing it to life. My only issue with this book was that it was so short, but I enjoyed it just the same.

For the audio..
Inked Holidays was the icing on my Gallo cake. All of the Gallos represented for one awesome holiday. Each family had it’s catch-up. Even tho I love all of the family, I did think at times that I should get the Gallo family tree in front of me. I may do that when I relisten. This was a fun, light hearted story that was over in no time flat. From the moment Lance Greenfield uttered Darlin as Pike, I was hooked listening to him as well as Samantha Brentmoor with sweet Gigi. They both did an excellent job with all of the characters. And boy did they have their work cut out for them with this generational Gallo gathering.

I was so looking forward to this, but was dissapointed. There was no story here. It was just a long recap of the couples and all of the men saying they are so lucky to have found their wives. That's sweet, but there was nothing to this story! It was only 64% too. There were clips from some other books. There was a short Christmas story that was written from Michael's and Mia's perspectives at the end and that was nicer than the Inked Holiday story. Anyway, with so many Christmas stories out there, I would not suggest this one.

Happy Holiday to me. Chelle Bliss took the stress of the day away as I giggled and laughed out loud.
She has take the Gallos out of their comfort zone of sun and sand and transported them to a White Christmas.
Most are not impressed with the snow. They are not quiet in their dissatisfaction. Thank goodness for the cute little snow angels that bring a smile to the grumps. Filters are off, as usual, so use caution while reading. Coffee could fly. Snorts can wake the sleeping the cat.
Thank you, Chelle Bliss, for the gift of joy, happiness and lots of laughs.

It's always great visiting with the Gallo family. They spend Christmas in a cabin with snow and cold. The whole family is close and it was nice seeing the kids with their kids.
The book also had a shirt story behind it with the original Gallo men and the second generation is still little.
The stories give you pause to think about your own life and how time has flown. I remember being the kid then having a baby now my baby is a dad. My life is fulfilled and I can honestly relate to the feelings the Gallo's have being happy .

This is a short story with the whole Gallo family on a Christmas vacation together in a snowy mountain retreat. In typical Gallo fashion, there is snarkiness, a bit of steam but lots of family love. Memories are shared as well as made and surprises abound.
I have followed this family from the beginning and absolutely love this novella. Sal's chapter had me a bit teary-eyed but satisfied by his take on this gathering.
If I could pick a fictional family to be a part of I would pick the Gallos hands down.

Such a fun novella!! Love the younger generation!
I simply enjoyed reading this novella. Chelle had me laughing throughout this book. The second generation kids were gripping about the cold and snow! You hear them talk about everything! Their kids, the elders doing it, and having them watch the grandkids so they can go have a few. You'll be laughing and enjoying this quick holiday book. Thank you Chelle Bliss

When the Florida Gallos decide to hightail it to the cold snowy mountains, you're bound to get a novel that will keep you smiling as you're reunited with your favorite family, and find yourself getting lost in their antics all over again.
As usual, Chelle delivers a can't-put-down novel that will wrap you up and have you get lost in the Gallos and their antics.
Revisiting the Men of Inked series in this book is a true treasure, and I can't wait for more from Chelle!

The Gallos are my favorite family to read. They are so beautifully written by the Author. One gets sucked into the family and they grab ahold of you and your stuck. I have been an avid reader for a long time and never have this Author ever disappoint. Her storytelling is captivating and suspenseful. I absolutely love the Gallos and their adventures. I always recommend this Author and her stories, but this series is the very best of times and needs to be highly recommend to everyone.

Family Christmas?
Chelle doesn't disappoint with the family Christmas. All the characters from all sides of the Gallo family are included. You get caught up with everything that is ongoing. And as one of the guys says something along the lines of he hopes the parents are still getting it on at their age, because that would be a sad thing . So hope for the good stuff as you grow old like the Gallos.

INKED HOLIDAY by Chelle Bliss
This is a welcome seasonal short story that has the Gallo family coming together to celebrate a Christmas holiday together. Grandpa Sal was wanting to show the kids snow and having a great time in it like he had when he was young. I loved the visit with the Gallos, it is always so good. It's like spending time with your family. This is 5 stars.
I listened to the audio version that was excellently narrated by Samantha Brentmoor and Lance Greenfield.

Gallo Holidays❄️⛄️
Grandpa Sal has decided this year he wants to celebrate Christmas a little differently. The whole family ends up in “the middle of nowhere” with lots of snow🙈
We get POVs from a few different couples with some sneak peaks of what’s happening in “their” worlds❣️
Loved it…I received an advanced copy and voluntarily leave my honest review😍

Another quick read for this amazing family, the Gallos. Loved reading about everyone having a grand winter holiday. Great storyline, but I wanted more of their shenanigans. They all love each other so deeply. Can't wait for the next installment of Men of Inked.

I'm such a huge fan of the Gallo family! They're brash & bold & sweet & fun, just to name a few attributes! This story gives us a peek into several of their POVs at the huge family Christmas celebration Sal arranged. I loved each snippet! And the bonus POV! 💚
Great Christmas read!

I have loved reading all the Men of Inked series over the years since I discovered them. This Christmas short was great to catch up and see how some of the current couples are doing. If you haven't read any of these yet I highly recommend you do. Chelle has a way with these characters that make you love and rage at them all in the same breath. Happy reading!

As a fan of all things men of inked this was a wonderful novella. I did want more but I always want more Gallo fun. There was lots of dialog (which I love) and we got pov’s from lots of different Gallos, even Sal. This is a perfect listen when you don’t have a lot of time and want something fun. The narration is great as always from these two.
January 20, 2024
I loved it! This is such a sweet and cute Christmas novella, set in the snowy mountains. The story is told from multiple POVs. I liked the family ties, the humor, and the banter. The Gallos are amazing! Lance Greenfield and Samantha Brentmoor did an excellent job bringing this short story to life. I enjoyed it.

A holiday gift from Chelle Bliss that brought me back to the holidays. The family take a trip, gets into the usual hijinks and fills the readers with the love and affection we expect from this group of awesome people. Brought a smile to my face! And the narration was superb, as usual! All together, a short slice of life that made me smile from start to finish!
