Men of Inked: Heatwave, Book 11

De: Chelle Bliss

Narrado por: Samantha Brentmoor, Connor Crais

Trace Caldo’s smart mouth always gets him in trouble. As the youngest of three brothers, he’s used to scrapping to earn respect. But when he picks a fight with the wrong person, Trace ends up kidnapped, bound, and blindfolded with no hope for escape. And when a beautiful woman comes to his rescue and offers him a way to staying alive, Trace can’t refuse her.

Ana Marie Kelly appears to live a charmed life. Raised in a wealthy family, she has everything a woman can want—if you don’t count freedom. Ana’s always been under her father’s thumb, expected to do as she’s told and not bring shame upon the family. But when Ana makes a mistake that could send her life in a tailspin, she can only think of one way out—the handsome man in her father’s garage.

And their only way out is to say, “I do.”

Torch is the 11th full-length stand-alone novel in the Men of Inked Heatwave series by Wall Street Journal and USA Today best-selling author Chelle Bliss.

TORCH, Men of Inked, Heatwave Book 11 by Chelle Bliss
This is another excellent read by Chelle Bliss, she never disappoints. Trace Caldo is the youngest son of Izzy and James. He is used to getting into trouble, but this time he bit off more than he can handle. Ana Marie Kelly comes to his aid, but with a serious problem she needs help with. By the end of the night they are married. I love the texting chain the Gallo second generation do, as well as the getting in each other's business. The close knit Gallo family is so entertaining.
What a beautiful man on the cover of the book representing Trace! This guy is what I picture James looking like too. I listened to the audio version and loved it, Samantha Brentmoor and Connor Crais do a great job as always with the narration. This is 5 stars.

Trace and Ana’s story

The Gallo family is the gift that keeps on giving! In Torch we meet Trace and Ana. Trace is a Gallo through and through, from his sexy looks, to his confident and somewhat cocky attitude, to the love he has for his family. Ana Kelly is the daughter of a mafia boss who is forced to live her life under her father’s rules and expectations.

Trace and Ana meet when she saves Trace. She saves him from a beating and possible death at the hands of her brother and his spoiled ways. What starts as a marriage for need and protection turns into some steamy, hot chemistry. Not only do we get to see Trace and Ana navigate their way to each other, we get to catch up with the entire Gallo family. Sunday meals with the Gallos are some of my favorite reads.

Samantha Brentmoor and Conor Crais do an amazing job, as always, of drawing you into the story and bringing you along for the ride with Trace and Ana. Seriously, I could listen to Conor talk all day. His voice is smooth and sexy!

Once again Chelle Bliss is able to give us a book that draws you in with an action-packed start and keeps you hooked until the last page and Samantha Brentmoor and Conor Crais bring it to life!

All the feels with wonderful narration

This is Trace Caldo and Ana Marie Kelly’s story and it’s the perfect addition to the Men of Inked: Heatwave Series. Trace is the baby of the Caldo brothers and being the youngest son of James and Izzy he seems to get away with anything and everything. Always finding trouble but always getting away with it until now because this time he has got himself kidnapped by a mob boss………
Ana is the woman who comes to his rescue, she will save him from the horrors the mob could inflict if he will save her from the father who is the boss. When Ana offers Trace a way out in turn for a marriage to protect and hide her pregnancy he jumps at the opportunity. What follows is two strangers realising they could be soulmates, a couple finding love as they find strength together…..
Samantha Brentmoor and Connor Crais did a great job bringing the chand their journey to life. They were spot on with the love, passion and humour and very easy to listen to.
This series is one of my favourites and for me it gets better with every release, I loved everything about this book, I loved Trace and Ana, my heart broke for Ana and the life she was forced to live before Trace and his family showed her what real love and families do for each other. As you would expect the Gallo family could not resist interfering and that in turn had me smiling and giggling. Torch ticked all my boxes, it’s entertaining and emotional, it has wonderful characters and more importantly it’s full of love.

Sweet and Spicy

Another Gallo family story that I want more of! This is quick read but left me wanting more….
Sweet, sassy and sexy, we get it all. Samantha and Connor are cast perfectly for these two.
