Men of Inked #3
Resist Me
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?

Second time reading Chelle Bliss and I’m glad I persevered!
I first read book 1 in this series, "Throttle Me" not so long ago and I wasn’t quite sold. The blurb promised something fantastic and I was in a mood for an alpha hero, unfortunately I was sad to read a pretty basic story with insta-love and too many clichés.
The cover whore in me also pleads guilty because the covers for the Men of Inked series are just.. gah!
Let’s just say that if I had the paperback, I would stroke them. (I know, there is not forgetting I said that now.)
Anyways, same mood, 3 weeks later and I saw a friend just finished Resist Me, which is book 3 in the Men of Inked series. And again, cover lust!
Thus this time I was told the heroine was spunky and badass so although I was a little wary since I’ve read book 1, I decided to give it a try. It was late and I HAD to read something!
Well, you now what? This maybe wasn’t my favorite read this year, but it was pleasantly satisfying!
The heroine indeed was badass! Sexy and cursing like a sailor, a woman after my own heart!
Long story short, Izzy Gallo, tattoo artist, is surrounded by the alpha overbearing men of her family and swore she wouldn’t get caught with a controlling man. EVER.
Over a weekend getaway she finds herself tangled with the wrong crowd but she’s saved by James Caldo, sinfully sexy cop undercover… Sigh. Tattooed. And yes, as expected, controlling, overbearing, obnoxious.
He has his eyes set on Izzy since she pulled a hit and run on him a few months ago and he’s full on intent to catch the little Gallo sister for good.
The result is a hate to love trope with hilarious banter, sexual tension and fucking steamy sex scenes!
Nicely done, Chelle Bliss, you left me craving more of this explosive duo and I’ll be reading book 4 very soon!
If you are in a mood for a light and smoking hot read featuring a controlling caveman bordering the lines of an asshole and an heroine giving as much as she gets, then chances are Resist Me will please you!

3.5 "You. Will. Be. Mine." stars
Oh well, continuing with the outbursts of the Gallo men in the family and this time it's little Izzy's turn to kick some ass. Isabella/Izzy Gallo is anything but a sweet, quiet and compliant woman. She's the same as her brothers only in a woman's body. She swears, she can kick ass and she fucks like no man's business, when she wants and who she wants…
Until she barges in the middle of a MC where her older brother Tomas is working undercover and suddenly he needs to claim her to get her out of the „situation“ where a VP wants to claim her for himself. Tomas calls for a backup, his partner James Caldo, who happens to be the exact man Izzy had a one steamy night and she bolted before he woke up leaving things unsaid and unresolved.
But according to Izzy, „what was there to resove in the first place?“ And the last thing she wants is to see and spend time with James Caldo, who is her mirror image - commanding, demanding, controling, cocky bastard (bordering caveman BUT I let that shit go, somehow it wasn't the breaking point for me here), and of course, James sees this as an opportunity to settle things with Izzy once and for all, but it won't definitely stay just at „once“, he plans to stick around…and win her over…
and what transpires next between them is more than lust, it's an effin fire, they burn everything in their way when the bickering, snappy, sassy and dirty comes out of their mouths and then they explode…
And it scares the shit out of her. Cause she's afraid that he'll change her in the end into the opposite of what/who she is now…and she bolts again…
And then chase/catch, push/pull…until she figures her shit out…and James is like a bull, loves a good challenge and won't back down
But then it all ends in a cliffy with the problems in MC and Tomas is asking for James's help…
Ah, what can I say, I both liked and hated this story.
Liked it for the obvious reasons that are visible in my review – all the things mentioned worked fine – the chemistry, the sexy banter, bickering, even the action, in fact, they were the basis for me to finishing this, BUT on the other hand, all of the things above also went into the exact opposite in the end - the characters became caricatures.
Izzy went from being a badass into a overbearing and annoying chick that didn't know who she was, she wanted to act as men do BUT she obviously couldn't handle the things as men do, duh? Which is stupid, cause you can't actually diverse action, it sounds sexist as fuck…So from that point she lost her cool for me, cause it's one thing to curse, brake thing, fuck men, get drunk stupid, probably scratch your vagina in public too, and the other to have a firm stand and pull your opinion off as a stubstance and a way of a lifestyle!
So there's a difference…sure, fear of unknown, we all have that, but than you fuckin use your own stand to deal with the fear as a „macho“ if that's your preference, but don't go whining about it like some lost puppy „oh, I'm scared he'll change me“. Bullshit, if you had your stand already you can't change that for no one…you can adjust but not change. So bummer.
Oh yeah, and the "romance" stuff, pretty lacky in that department. Lust, sex, chemistry, fuck yeah, but romantic shit was just not believable enough! Bummer.
Then there was an issues with grammar mistakes, I have noticed them in previous books too but I didn't think of them much, I usually don't and I usually don't care BUT here, I was already riled up so I noticed them more. Bummer again.
Then the whole thing with the MC, jeez that was lame…in fact, it wasn't even eleborated as an real issue, I know it was probably meant to serve as an introduction into the next installment BUT it looked sloppy…
I m weighing between all there was said, and yeah, it's a screwed up thing BUT I still feel more inclined to continuing with the series…cause, I don't like leaving things unresolved
But that's my own curse and another story… *wink*

She's the same as her brothers only in a woman's body. She swears, she can kick ass and she fucks like no man's business, when she wants and who she wants…
No one told me what to do. I was Izzy Gallo. Slave to no one and master of my own destiny.
I acted like many men did; I used people for the physical aspect but never promised them anything more. I wasn't into relationships or being tied down. Having a man tell me what to do and how to act was my biggest fear, and something I'd run from at every opportunity
Until she barges in the middle of a MC where her older brother Tomas is working undercover and suddenly he needs to claim her to get her out of the „situation“ where a VP wants to claim her for himself. Tomas calls for a backup, his partner James Caldo, who happens to be the exact man Izzy had a one steamy night and she bolted before he woke up leaving things unsaid and unresolved.

I never believed in love at first sight. Lust, yes, but not love. The problem was that I did love Izzy Gallo.
and what transpires next between them is more than lust, it's an effin fire, they burn everything in their way when the bickering, snappy, sassy and dirty comes out of their mouths and then they explode…
James had enetered my life like a hurricane, slowly building over time and then creating total and utter devastation in his path.
And it scares the shit out of her. Cause she's afraid that he'll change her in the end into the opposite of what/who she is now…and she bolts again…
I needed to gracefully bow out of whatever the fuck this was
And then chase/catch, push/pull…until she figures her shit out…and James is like a bull, loves a good challenge and won't back down
I love a good chase and worthy adversary.
You. Will. Be. Mine.

Ladies and Gentlemen.. You ready?
Meet Izzy Gallo, smart-ass woman who takes no shit from a man. Being the only girl with 4 brothers didn't help her being a sweet girl. And believe me when I say that this one is a badass!
And James Caldo, dirty talker with a cock pierced (Yes it is important enough for me to mention it :p)
James and Izzy have a little history together. They met at her brother's wedding and after one night of pure pleasure she ran away...
A few weeks after, circumstances brought them back together and this time James doesn't want to let her go. And this is the beginning of a hot, steamy story!
Izzy is scared to let go and to love. She thinks that by letting someone in, she will be weak. She doesn't understand that she has to take a chance on love and I didn't always get it because she is surrendered with people who loves her. So where does her fear comes from?
James is looking for a partner, someone who will be there for him, someone who's full of attitude and that's precisely what he gets with Izzy.
My only disappointment was the epilogue. I get that the story is a little linked with Thomas's story but still I wanted more.
That being said, I think this is probably the best of the three books in this series so far! And I can't wait to read more and get to know Thomas better

There is a fine line between Independent and sassy AND just plain stubborn. Every bit of 50% of this book and maybe more I was still not a fan of Izzy. I am a super independent woman and I’m even stubborn but Izzy was irritating me. She needs to heed the statement “cutting off your nose to spite your face”!!
She was too willing to deprive herself pleasure to keep from getting attached to James Caldo. I get he was bossy but who doesn’t love an alpha in the bedroom?
I thought James was a great character and even though Izzy was irritating in a lot of the book it was a good storyline and ends in a way that I will definitely be reading the next book soon.

Men of Inked series- by Chelle Bliss
1- Throttle Me
2-Hook Me
2.5-Throttled
3- Resist Me
3.5- Resisting
4-Uncover Me
4.5-Rebound
5-Without Me
3- Resist Me
Isabella story finally: Isabella Gallo swore that she would never get involved with a bossy, domineering man after growing up with four brothers.
What I like about this book is even though Izzy is tough. Underneath that tough exterior is a woman who wants to be cherished just like anyone else. James Caldo is just the same. A tough DEA agent. When Izzy and James met it was an instant attraction both tried to deny. Of course one thing lead to another and what turned out to be the best night of their lives. Izzy did the walk of shame the next morning. James screams alpha male! They are mirror images of each other. Izzy is so afraid of losing herself, she is that she pushes James away. But the alpha in him pushes back till she things his way!

2.5 rating. In the prequel, I really enjoyed Izzy and James's cat and mouse game. I was interested in continuing their sexy love and hate dynamics in book 3. In the beginning, I was intrigued but after a couple of chapters into it I became very annoyed with Izzy's tough as nails persona. I found her extremely irritating and annoying. I mean, I love a strong sassy independent woman, but come on she was over the top. SHE WAS ANNOYING AS HELL!! I want to say at least seventy five percent of the book was Izzy's internal dialogue of, I'm so tough I don't need a man, should I or shouldn't I be with James. It was boring and redundant. Cursing and knowing how to knee a guy in the balls doesn't make you strong. She was indecisive. I didn't buy the explanation of why Izzy was they way she was. I get it, she has four bossy brothers, but she has a very loving, close family. And for as tough and bossy as she keeps saying she is, she should be able to handle a guy like James. Most importantly for me, I never felt at any point that Izzy realized she truly loved James and in the end I just didn't care if they were together or not. I also didn't think there was much of a story here. There was no build up or climax or anything that really propelled Izzy and James's story. The story left me unsatisfied. Hopefully, Thomas's story will be better than this one. Again, just my opinion.
October 26, 2014
Still waiting for the story.
I enjoyed the previous books in this series and I thought that it would continue with this book; however, I found this book lacking. The author spent at least 60 percent of the book with Izzy internal/external dialog about how bad she as and what she would or would not take in a relationship. Yet the first opportunity to demonstrate this belief was when she was performing fellatio with drool running down the side of mouth, tears running down her face and her gag reflect activated, she was told that she could take it and that she looked sexy. Her thoughts were how can he think that I am sexy looking this way. Really? And we won't mention the scene with Rebel. This book was simply about the h sexual activities with interludes with and about Thomas, who is the subject of the next book. I am curious about the Flash character..he served no purpose, other than to show that the h liked sex and he was her boy toy? In addition, do I want to spend time reading about the sexual activity, blow by blow, of the h character with other men.....I do not think so. And Flash being a FBI agent....that was a serious stretch. Then there is the profanity....there is a time a time and place for profanity; however, the constant and continuous use, shows totally redundancy, immaturity and moronic thinking. Perhaps the author foreword is an indication of her feelings on the subject of profanity?, lol. The episodes with Thomas were much more interesting than the entire story of Izzy and James. I did not buy the love between Izzy and James, the sex yes, not the love. The thought was there; however, the execution was poor....there was no story.

For me this one was the best in the series so far, because at least there was a storyline, a plot even.
It almost made it to the fourth star, but it is still plagued with some of the issues of the previous books : too many editing errors and, far more annoying, this author's habit to constantly repeat herself .
"No one told me what to do. I was Izzy Gallo. Slave to no one and master of my destiny."
Yeah right, I wonder how many times I read the same blurb in this book and the previous ones ... And yet this supposedly bad*ss girl just surrendered with barely a fight (I don't consider the early-morning-hotel-corridor-walk-of-shame as a fight or a rebel attitude, rather the opposite).

Salve lettrici,
Oggi vi parlo di “Non posso resisterti”
di Chelle Bliss, terzo volume della serie “Men of Inked” edita Newton Compton editori.
Il romanzo è uscito da poco in Italia e io ho avuto la possibilità di leggerlo in anteprima.
Seppur la serie non mi stia prendendo molto, ho letto entrambi i volumi precedenti, tutti autoconclusivi, sui componenti della famiglia Gallo.
Questa volta a far parlare di sé è la sorellina, quella che tutti vogliono proteggere, Izzy. L’ultimo membro della famiglia è coccolato troppo e assillato, ma loro la amano e vorrebbero il meglio per lei, sempre.
Izzy però non ascolta la sua famiglia e ama la libertà, così parte per un weekend con il suo amico e amante, Flash, pensando solo a divertirsi e a rilassarsi, senza curarsi troppo dei pericoli.
Il weekend non va come aveva previsto e dopo poche ore Izzy si ritrova nei guai.
A portarla in salvo c’è suo fratello Tommy, che fa la sua prima comparsa nella serie, che poi la lascerà nelle mani fidate del collega e amico James Caldo.
James è un sexy e spietato poliziotto.
Ogni volta che James punta una preda, da bravo cacciatore, la ottiene.
Izzy Gallo, da quella notte passata insieme, è la sua preda.
James e Izzy, infatti, hanno un precedente. Hanno passato insieme una sola notte, bellissima ed estrema, facendo tantissimo sesso.
Al mattino, però, James non ha trovato Izzy nell’altra metà del letto.
Ritrovarsela avanti adesso, in tutto il suo splendore, è l’occasione perfetta per conoscerla un po’ meglio e per avere ciò che gli era stato negato quella notte.
Dopo aver rassicurato Tommy, James decide di portare in salvo la sorellina del suo amico, accompagnandola a casa.
Ma bastano poche ore insieme e i due sono cotti dell’altro.
Oltre l’attrazione c’è molto di più, ma i loro caratteri forti e autoritari si rivelano un
problema, sopratutto per Izzy, che non vuole sentirsi debole e sottomessa.
Una volta arrivati a casa, tra sms spinti e frecciatine, cresce la voglia che hanno l’uno dell’altro e anche i loro sentimenti, tanto da non poter più fingere.
Insomma lettrici, come mi aspettavo questo volume non è riuscito a farmi cambiare idea sulla serie.
Anche questo libro si è rivelato troppo spinto, volgare e povero di emozioni forti.
Oltre il sesso c’è davvero poco e, sebbene ben strutturati, nessuno dei due protagonisti mi ha intrigato tantissimo.
James è sicuramente un uomo dalle mille risorse, deciso e sexy da morire, ma non spicca in questa storia. Non è riuscito a conquistarmi e lo stesso vale per Izzy.
Lei è una ragazza forte, piena di vita e tosta da morire. È una Gallo e la sua famiglia le ha insegnato a prendersi cura di se stessa.
Izzy crede di non aver bisogno dell’amore nella sua vita, ma l’attrazione che la spinge verso James è forte, così come il loro carisma e la loro personalità, ma nessuno dei due elementi spicca.
Questa è una storia che colpisce per l’alto livello di scene erotiche, che io ho trovato talmente esagerate da togliere spazio al resto.
Non riesco ancora a cambiare idea su questa serie che, Gallo dopo Gallo, non cambia scenario.
Sono storie ben scritte, ma povere. Peccano di emozioni, dettagli e sembrano scritte troppo velocemente.
Non appassionano, ammaliano e stregano, ma sono letture abbastanza piacevoli da non farmi abbandonare la serie.
Diciamo che di solito al terzo volume, fortunatamente, si sa già in che lettura andremo a immergersi, quindi non mi aspettavo altro che quello che ho trovato.
Leggo questi volumi sempre senza aspettative, così posso godermi della compagnia della famiglia Gallo, che è davvero una famiglia sboccata.
Questa volta, inoltre, l’autrice mi ha sorpreso con un epilogo aperto, che presumo avrà un seguito molto presto e che io sicuro leggerò, come sempre, senza troppe aspettative.

Oggi vi parlo di “Non posso resisterti”
di Chelle Bliss, terzo volume della serie “Men of Inked” edita Newton Compton editori.
Il romanzo è uscito da poco in Italia e io ho avuto la possibilità di leggerlo in anteprima.
Seppur la serie non mi stia prendendo molto, ho letto entrambi i volumi precedenti, tutti autoconclusivi, sui componenti della famiglia Gallo.
Questa volta a far parlare di sé è la sorellina, quella che tutti vogliono proteggere, Izzy. L’ultimo membro della famiglia è coccolato troppo e assillato, ma loro la amano e vorrebbero il meglio per lei, sempre.
Izzy però non ascolta la sua famiglia e ama la libertà, così parte per un weekend con il suo amico e amante, Flash, pensando solo a divertirsi e a rilassarsi, senza curarsi troppo dei pericoli.
Il weekend non va come aveva previsto e dopo poche ore Izzy si ritrova nei guai.
A portarla in salvo c’è suo fratello Tommy, che fa la sua prima comparsa nella serie, che poi la lascerà nelle mani fidate del collega e amico James Caldo.
James è un sexy e spietato poliziotto.
Ogni volta che James punta una preda, da bravo cacciatore, la ottiene.
Izzy Gallo, da quella notte passata insieme, è la sua preda.
James e Izzy, infatti, hanno un precedente. Hanno passato insieme una sola notte, bellissima ed estrema, facendo tantissimo sesso.
Al mattino, però, James non ha trovato Izzy nell’altra metà del letto.
Ritrovarsela avanti adesso, in tutto il suo splendore, è l’occasione perfetta per conoscerla un po’ meglio e per avere ciò che gli era stato negato quella notte.
Dopo aver rassicurato Tommy, James decide di portare in salvo la sorellina del suo amico, accompagnandola a casa.
Ma bastano poche ore insieme e i due sono cotti dell’altro.
Oltre l’attrazione c’è molto di più, ma i loro caratteri forti e autoritari si rivelano un
problema, sopratutto per Izzy, che non vuole sentirsi debole e sottomessa.
Una volta arrivati a casa, tra sms spinti e frecciatine, cresce la voglia che hanno l’uno dell’altro e anche i loro sentimenti, tanto da non poter più fingere.

Holy %¿@*, what a story! Izzy and James certainly didn't disappoint with their instalment in the outstanding Men of Inked series.
James is my new obsession and Izzy hit the nail on the head when she said that the sound of James' voice is "pussy clenching"! But let's be honest, everything you read about James in this book will have you living every lustful fantasy known to woman! Move over City, James has joined the party.
We had hints and teasers into Izzy's life during Throtted but nothing could have prepared you for James, and Flash.
Living day to day with Flash as her boy toy, Izzy's life is uncomplicated despite living in the shadows of her slightly overbearing brothers: Mike, Joe, Anthony and of course, the elusive Thomas. After exerting her single mindedness and blatantly refusing to do as her brothers ask, Izzy heads off to Bike Week with Flash and, unbeknownst to her, into a whole lot of trouble. After experiencing the attention of the MC Pres, Izzy knows she has made a mistake going with Flash who is merely a prospect and unable protect her from Rebel. Fortunately for Izzy though a stranger is looking out for her and eventually she is released into James' "protective" custody. The spark between James and Izzy is immediately reignited and, despite Izzy's reservations and determined efforts to reject his advances, she starts to fall for this gorgeous but domineering man.
James is [hello!!!] a Dom and wants Izzy to submit to him in the bedroom but Izzy being Izzy has some choice things to say to him on the subject. The only problem Izzy has though is convincing her body to do what her mind is telling it and it's not long before she does indeed "beg" James for his larger than life ego to satisfy her needs.
The story continues with Izzy pushing and pulling against James bit this man is determined and won't give her up without a fight.
I love Izzy's personality. She takes no BS off anyone and between her looks and one-liners, James has a real battle on his hands. Will he be able to tame the wild and free spirit that shines brightly inside of her or can he accept and love her for who she is, a passionate and free-willed woman that rocks his world.
The story reveals some shocking secrets about Thomas and Flash that you really won't want to miss. This is a fast paced read and one that I couldn't put down. I really can't wait for Thomas' story now. Yet another awesome brother from the Gallo brood who is also likely to blow you mind!
Finally, check out that cover. It fits the story perfectly and adds an extra element to this already perfect book!

My Rating
4.5 Sizzling Stars
Favorite Quotes:
“I didn’t want to lead a senior-citizen lifestyle. I wanted a partner, someone I could spar with and make love to at the drop of a dime.”
“When I touched you for the first time, it was like fireworks exploding under my skin.”
My Review:
I no longer live in a cave as I have read my first MC book – and wow – did I pick a winner to take my virginity! Hawt! Steamy hot! Volcanic action hot! I will have extra laundry this week. Despite having nothing in common with these characters, I found them all likable, well, most of them anyway. I typically try to avoid series but I am definitely going to make my way through her entire catalog as I now want to know all the stories. Laden with humorous and lively dialog, expletives, and steamy sex – color me surprised, but this old cougar hit nirvana.

Isabella likes to believe she's so bad and doesn't take crap from anyone, she's actually immature and in need of growing up. Throws a tantrum whenever she doesn't have her way and because she's the only girl with four older brothers the little brat gets away with her tantrums. Don't worry my brothers will take care of everything for me, I'll just run to them after I pretend I can take care of myself. I'm so tough that's why in the biker bar I was so scared I didn't know what to do. My brothers warned me not to go. I told them I could handle myself and to back off. Yet when it came down to it I couldn't, neither could the guy I was with. Good thing my big brother showed up to get me out of there. I'm this big bad chick that doesn't need to be protected, doesn't need a man in my life for anything other than a one night stand.
Grow up already.
Grow up already.

Love this series
Izzy is a tough chick growing up with over protective brothers and having to hold her own made her one tough nut to crack.
James is the exact same breed as her brothers, overprotective, domineering an all round Alpha male.
Izzy didn't want to be controlled she'd grown up with her brothers trying to control who she could and couldn't have a relationship with as they scared off everyone who got close to her, none of them measured up for their Izzy well until James they liked him and so the battle comences, the chase is on as James sees what he wants and that prize is his in his eyes.
Its a hot, quick paced read, has action and drama a woman who swears like a sailor, humour and good plot. Recommended series.

I have never pitied a hero more for getting the girl.
I have never felt so bad for a hero. This heroine was a loose cannon and there were so many things wrong with this book. It was so bad I don't even want to think about it anymore.

Non potevo aspettare ancora. L’attesa mi stava uccidendo. Altrimenti sarei morto di palle gonfie o di noia.
Izzy Gallo era l’unica cosa che manteneva vivo il mio interesse.
Inizio con il ricordare che questa serie, partita con molto entusiasmo, tratta di una famiglia di fratelli, i Gallo, che gestiscono uno studio di tatuaggi e scorrazzano con le loro moto. Ogni libro è dedicato ad uno di loro e se i precedenti mi avevano convinto con qualche riserva, questo su Izzy purtroppo ancora meno.
L’unica femmina dei Gallo è infatti decisamente troppo viziata per usare il proprio cervellino se non per dire continuamente “Non posso perdere la mia indipendenza”. Non lo usa di certo per evitare le situazioni di pericolo in cui si caccia nonostante gli avvertimenti dei fratelli, o forse proprio per ripicca capricciosa. Sono loro poi a dover sempre correre a salvarla, mettendo in pericolo se stessi. Ogni tanto speravo che qualcuno di loro la prendesse a calcioni. Macché, non è mai successo.
D’altra parte uno dei più cari amici di Thomas Gallo, il fratello più grande, è un certo James Caldo (il nome è tutto un programma), agente della DEA sotto copertura e segretamente, neanche troppo, attratto da lei. Lui è la pedina che salva la partita. Con i suoi dialoghi frizzanti e ironici, il suo fisico da urlo e la sua tenacia, riesce a convincere chiunque a proseguire con lui: Izzy per concedergli più di una notte, e noi lettrici per leggere il libro fino alla fine.
James Caldo era come un parassita, ma dannatamente sexy.
Che dire poi se il finale è spalancato su un futuro che ci fa incrociare le dita e sperare per il meglio?
Chelle Bliss, ci toccherà continuare a leggerti per sapere come andrà a finire questa tormentata storia d’amore…
Navillus.

Incredibly sexy and irresistible!
4,25 stars
This is a standalone that is also a part of Men of Inked series, we get a closer look at James and Izzy's story!
We met them before, and we even got a glimpse at them in Resisting, but now we get to know them even better!
They were passionate, hot, pure burning fire and they were a total match! They were stubborn, hard headed and strong. They were indpendent and totally their own person. But they were also vulnerable, loyal and loved fiercely!
They needed work to be with one another, but they were worth the fight. Being strong as they are, they couldn't be with anyone else!
But, mand, they were stubborn, specially Izzy. I loved that she was fierce and didn't want to bend to this and that person (I don't like either!), but some of her choices were just like she was trying too hard to be a hard person. It wasn't just about strength and bein independent, sometimes she was being plain stupid, and no, I'm not saying that because deep down I dont think a woman should speak up. That's not it at all, because even if a man was doing some of the things she did, I would think he was stupid too and it would piss me off just as much.
But the point is, that was her, she was her own person and she didn't apologize for it. And James understood that and, better yet, loved that about her, and he was patient to wait for her to come around about her feelings.
And let me tell you: their chemistry was off the charts! seriously! They had so much energy and fire, and together there was no resisting, they just combusted!
And the icing of the cake? We finally get to meet Thomas!! And I can sense he is about to give Joe Gallo a run for his money, and I'll have a hard time choosing between the two of them!

Shorter read but yet again chef's kiss.

Izzy and James . . . both strong willed learning how to navigate around each other.

Izzy and James path cross again and this time he's not letting her go. Of course, she runs emotionally but in the end James gets his woman. This book ended with a HEA for now feel. Plus there was a dog gone cliffy involving her brother. Why are the rest of the ebooks in this series so much? As my sister is fond of saying...everything goes on sale, eventually. Guess I'll have to be patient.

Ich liebe die Gallo Geschwister und ich habe mich sehr auf die einzige Frau unter den Geschwistern gefreut. Das Cover gefällt mir richtig gut und es passt perfekt zu den anderen beiden Teilen. Der Klappentext hat direkt mein Interesse geweckt. Chelle Bliss hat einen wunderschönen, flüssigen und emotionalen Schreibstil. Ich war von der ersten Seite an, in der Geschichte gefangen und ich konnte das Buch nicht mehr aus der Hand legen. Ein Manko hatte das Buch allerdings. Die große Szenen am Ende, die erste Begegnung zwischen Izzy Gallo und James Caldo, hätte eher an den Anfang gehört. Für mich wäre es interessanter gewesen, wenn ich diese Szenen zuerst gelesen hätte. Die Handlung der Hauptgeschichte was sehr spannend und verdammt heiß. Beim lesen wurde es nie langweilig und ich habe regelrecht mit den Charakteren mitgefiebert. Die erotischen Szenen sind ausführlich und authentisch beschrieben. Diese fügen sich gut in die Handlung ein und dominieren sie nicht.
Die Charaktere waren gut ausgearbeitet, facettenreich und hatten ihre Ecken und Kanten. Da das Buch sowohl aus Izzys Sicht, als auch aus James Sicht geschrieben wurde, konnte man die Handlungen und Denkweisen der beiden gut nachvollziehen. James war der typische Alphamann. Ihn habe ich von der ersten Seite ins Herz geschlossen. Er tut alles dafür, dass es seinen Freunden gut geht und beschütz diese so gut er kann. Zu Izzy hat er sich direkt hingezogen gefüllt und er lässt nichts unversucht, um sie zu erobern. Izzy war ein etwas schwieriger Charakter. Bei vier Brüdern muss man taff sein, aber ihre zickige Art und Verweigerungshaltung ging mir doch teilweise auf die Nerven. Zwar konnte ich es bis zu einem gewissen Grad nachvollziehen, warum sie sich so verhalten hat, aber dennoch hat mich das etwas gestört. Es ist immer wieder toll, etwas über die anderen Gallo Brüder zu lesen und ich fand es richtig schön, einen kleinen Einblick drauf zu erhalten, wie es mit den anderen Brüdern nach deren Buch weiter ging.
„Resist me“ ist ein toller dritter Band der Reihe. Ich habe mich gut unterhalten gefühlt und freu mich schon auf die weiteren Bände der Reihe. Wer Teil eins und zwei mochte, wird auch den dritten Teil gut finden.
Von mir gibt es ein klare Leseempfehlung.

Chelle Bliss brings back my favorite two people as Isabella is thrown into a situation that isn't easy to get out of. She takes us down a road of cat and mouse and this time there will be no running without a chase.
Isabella Gallo is still well, Izzy. Just as sassy, bawdy, and bullheaded as before. But this time we get to not only see, but experience the MORE that James saw within her. We get to see her falling in lo... and it's beautiful, breathtaking, exhilarating, even scary all at once.
"This could be the destroyer of all men who might grace my future. James was wrecking me and doing it on fucking purpose."
James Caldo, my goodness... Ugh, this man! I love him, like seriously in all his domineering ways. But, what I loved the most about him was the strength he has. I mean, let's be honest. Izzy is not a roll over type of chick, so you have to be a strong man to go up against her. Even when she pushes him away, he doesn't walk completely away. This is a man who knows what he wants and doesn't mind chasing if it means getting him her. Plus, did I mention he is skilled and well endowed in ALL aspects...
"You know you want me,” I growled, my lips a breath away from hers. “I wrecked you for any other man. I own your ass , Izzy. I’ll let you run, but you can’t resist me forever."
Together, Izzy and James are a force to be reckon with. Their banter had me smiling the entire time. Their chemistry is even hotter than before, if that's even possible, and believe me it is! Seriously that one scene though, ugh it was so hot my kindle overheated each of those three times I read it. Can we say animalistic sexuality? THEY CAN *fans self*
"I was breathless and wanton. I would’ve professed my love and a horde of children to this man for a single orgasm."
"I had particular tastes. Most people do. I didn’t do missionary style with rose petals spread across the bed. I liked shit raw and rough, and I wanted to be in total control."
Add in all the twists and turns, plus the glimpses of what will go down in Thomas' story that Chelle Bliss throws at us and you are lucky if you make it out of this one without suffering from heart palpitations! I'm a nervous wreck, wanting more of James and Isabella. Wanting to submerge myself into their love story so deep that I don't know anything but them. I just want MORE of THEM and NOW, ugh... it's something about that man and they way he doesn't relent when it comes to her.
"I waited all my life to find someone that lights my fire like you do, Izzy. Nothing can put out that flame."

Izzy Gallo is the only female sibling and has been more than a match for her 4 brothers since she was a small child.
However as a grown woman she now finds herself more than matched with DEA agent James Caldo and their story is as complicated as it is sexy.

Wow! What can a girl say about a book that is so HOT you find yourself squirming in your chair, having drenched panties and wondering where the hell can you find a man like James!!!!????
Chelle Bliss has completely outdone herself with this book in The Men of Ink Series. She writes with a talent that is undeniable, humor that makes you laugh out loud, passion that makes you want to fall in love and enough mystery that you have to continue reading because you must know what the end will be. I am in awe of her talent.
Izzy.....I love her! She is gutsy, ballsy and has a take no prisoners attitude. She can handle her own, stand her ground and has the mouth of a drunken sailor. Her brothers (and d**n they are hot too) have made sure she can handle herself, fight her way out and have protected her fiercely. But to them she will always be their "baby" sister and NO man will ever be good enough for her. Hell, no man will ever be strong enough for her, she chews them up and spits them until.......
James.....Panty drenching James! He's all alpha, all protective and hotter than fish grease. He knows what he wants and has no issue pursuing her. He's strong, he's controlling, he's sexy, he's smart, he's loyal and he's HOT! Muy Caliente!!!!!! He's also strong enough to deal with Izzy after one drunken night......
Izzy and James embark on a wild ride. The strong, take no prisoners girl and the man that can break her down. Can he bring her to her knees (literally), can he tame that wild child, can he make her is all while fighting to protect her?
Chelle Bliss has become one of my new fav authors. I impatiently wait for the release of her books. I love the men she creates. They come from a big, loud Italian family. They are tatted, pierced and again I can't say it enough......HOT!!!! Each book I read of Chelle's leaves me fanning myself, calling my friend.....oh hell.....they just leave me horny!
If you have not met The Men of Ink you are truly short changing yourself and I feel bad for you. Start with Throttle Me, go on to Hook Me, find your way to Throttled and of course you have to see if you can Resist Me. I don't think you can! I know I can't!
Chelle Bliss has completely outdone herself with this book in The Men of Ink Series. She writes with a talent that is undeniable, humor that makes you laugh out loud, passion that makes you want to fall in love and enough mystery that you have to continue reading because you must know what the end will be. I am in awe of her talent.
Izzy.....I love her! She is gutsy, ballsy and has a take no prisoners attitude. She can handle her own, stand her ground and has the mouth of a drunken sailor. Her brothers (and d**n they are hot too) have made sure she can handle herself, fight her way out and have protected her fiercely. But to them she will always be their "baby" sister and NO man will ever be good enough for her. Hell, no man will ever be strong enough for her, she chews them up and spits them until.......
James.....Panty drenching James! He's all alpha, all protective and hotter than fish grease. He knows what he wants and has no issue pursuing her.

Shhhh.....there are just some thing you don't want to hear. Don't say it. Just keep it to yourself. Izzy doesn't want to hear it. Just shhhhhh.
Izzy is the Gallo Gal. She is the one sister to the whole passel of Gallo men. Some sexy, bossy, possessive men. But this is not about them. This is about Izzy. She has been raised with these Alpha men and she is about tired of them telling her what to do, where to go and who to go there with. She knows what she wants and it is NOT a man like her brothers.
James is the best friend of her brother Thomas. Thomas who has been MIA for a few years. Come to find out, Thomas is undercover and James is his only contact. But that is not what brings them together. James steps in when Izzy gets herself in a bit of a pickle. A MC Club type of pickle. Very pickled.
Now that James has gotten back in touch with Izzy, he does not want to lose her again. He can't get her out of his mind.
She was like MasterCard---everywhere I wanted to be.
But Izzy doesn't trust James to let her be herself and she certainly doesn't trust herself to not get lost in James.
This is a Chelle Bliss, so of course there is lots of steam. Lots of Alpha shenanigans. Lots of sexy banter. I can't wait for the next one. Not only do we get Thomas' story, but we get THOMAS' story!!!!
