The fiery conclusion to Gigi and Pike's story.

This is the second in the 2 part story telling Gigi and Pike's story. This is a story full of tattooed alpha bikers. They are literally everywhere! Two generations of them. It’s a fast paced story with plenty of action. These two fell hard and fast and I love that although Pike hasn’t had the best role models of love in his childhood, he is fiercely protective and selfless in his love for Gigi. She returns his love and is showing him that family rallies and boy does Pike need them to rally for him. You’re introduced to some of the other kids who will get books later in the series and there’s some funny banter throughout. The heat in these books is just as their titles suggest. Tattoos, ripped muscles, cocky one liners and fiery passion.

There are lots of appearances of the couples from the two previous series but you don’t have to have read those books for these to make sense.

I listened to Flame and Burn (Gigi and Pike's Duet) and I’ve always been a fan of Jason Clarke. His voice is gruff and se*y as hell but, he is able to give you the softer side of Pike too. The emotions are right there for the taking. He serves them up for you to feast on. Samantha Brentmoor is a new narrator for me and let me tell you, what a find she is. Her performance was phenomenal. She has a great raspy voice and her male voices were top notch too. She gives you the emotions by the truck load. These two in combination give you all the heat with ALL the feels and emotions you could ever want. An excellent performance by both and I can’t wait to listen to some more Samantha now that I’ve found her.

I’d definitely recommend these books. You are gonna love these two and their fast paced, action packed, fiery story.

Through hell and back

Pike and Gigi continue their epic story. The danger spikes around these two as Pike comes to the realization that family is, indeed, something he needs and the Gallo's are there to step up. Hang on tight!

Meh

The narration by Jason Clarke was superb. The first book ended on a cliffhanger, but since the second book was already out I didn’t have to wait. I felt that this book was not as good as others by this author. It felt to me almost as if I was in a car driving by each of the relationship milestones and plot twists. However, they were tied together loosely or not at all and I didn’t get a chance to linger. For example, we finally met Pike’s grandma. There was some interaction, then she never appeared again. Then the last part of the book was all a set up for the next book. Not my favorite by this author.

Bikers🔥🔥

I loved the continuation of Pike and Gigi’s story! His alpha love over her and willingness to die to protect her!! Can’t wait for Tamara’s story!! She is a hellion!!! Would love a story about Lilly also!

Heating Up

Sebastian who? Jason Clarke’s voice is smooth honey especially as he says all the naughty buts. He brought another level of hotness to Pike. I don’t think I would’ve been able to listen with any other voice. Samantha Brentmoor is a new narrator to me but man she was perfection as Gigi. She gave her extra sass and the enthusiasm in her voice gave Gigi extra character. This was a great combination of narrators and I could picture both of these voices as these characters.

As for the story, Chelle once again wrote a brilliant action packed book. She gives you the right amount of heat, romance and suspense to give you a great story. I love how she weaves a story keeping you intrigued and captivated from the first page to the very beginning and never letting up. And let’s not forget about those Gallo’s. This family that Chelle created is one that everyone wants to be a part of. You get to see City at is alpha best and the rest of the smoking hot Gallo men will make you drool all over again.

Chelle never disappoints and I can’t wait to see what kind of trouble Tam has gotten herself into.

Pike: the hits keep coming!

I love the performance of the narrators! Samantha Brentmoor is amazing as is Jason Clarke. The story itself is 💛💛💛 and the narrators add to it with their inflection. I love the flow of Gigi and Pike’s relationship. They have kept growing together and now they’re raising Pike’s little brother. I can’t wait to see how their story grows in the continuation of this series.

The Action Continues!

This book continues right where Flame left off-so you absolutely have to read Flame before this one!! There is just as much action in this one as the first one and Gigi's family comes to help because that is what their family does! Gigi still kinda got on my nerves but I love Pike and everything to do with that man!! I loved the fact that this series is building on the original series that we all know and love!

Jason Clarke and Samantha Brentmoor do an amazing job with the narration. There aren't any crazy accents and I love Jason Clarke's voice!! So nice to listen to! Now I just need to wait for the next one!

Picks up right wehere we were left off

Pike and Gigi's story continues in Burn. But to me, this book seemed more intense, in everything! Suspense, family, laughter and romance, Burn delivers what I have come to expect from Chelle Bliss. The introduction of different family members, particularly the grandmother, brings out that true sense of family that the Gallo family strives for. But nothing is ever easy for Pioke and Gigi and we find them in a situation full of suspense and hang on the edge of your seat writing. I cannot wait to listen to the next book in this series and find out where these two end.

Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke brought out the suspense in this story through there performance. They truly had me hanging on every word as I listened. Their voices are easy to listen to an compliment each other so the story flows smoothly. I enjoy listening to this team's narration.

Great Read

Burn: Men of Inked: Heatwave, Book Two was another great read by Chelle Bliss. This book finished right where Flame ended. Gigi never wanted to fall in love until Pike came into her life. Pike cares about Gigi but his past is threatening their future. Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke did a great job narrating the characters so that you fall in love with them and care about what happens to them. I can't wait to read more by Chelle Bliss.

Love this Series

Omg what a great book and series.. please please please keep the same narrators for Tamara’s Story Wild Fire 🔥 I really can’t wait to listen to it! My favorite narrators always been Sabastian York and Andi Arndt but now I can add Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke too ... thanks Chelle Bliss for a great Story and series to look forward too

Fantastic Story & Narration🎧 Gigi💘Pike🔥

I am loving this series, I just binge listened to the first two books “Flame” and “Burn”, they are Gigi Gallo and Pike Moore’s story. I recommend reading and/or listening to both book back to back starting with “Flame” where Gigi and Pike first meet. Gigi and the girls are vacationing during spring break and it turns out to be bike week too. Gigi has her eyes on the hot biker dude at the bar and after a few cocktails decides to go for it. Pike may look like a bad ass biker but he treats Gigi good and does not take advantage of her drunkenness. The two wind up hitting it off and have a hot fling. Fast Forward fifteen months, Gigi graduates college and is ready to start her job at Inked, she and another guy will be starting at the same time. Turns out the other guy is Pike. Well their meeting does not go off so great, but she can not say much since no one knows she was at bike week and she can not say how she knows him. The tension and angst is between them is electric so is the chemistry between them. I love how their story plays out and what it leads up to. When Pike’s past catches up with him, or should I say his corrupt father’s problems catch up to him. The Gallo’s step in and come up with a plan to keep Gigi and Pike safe. The story continues in Burn, but the problems for Pike continues, he earns respect from Gigi’s father and Uncle with how he deals with it, he is just as protective as Gigi as her father is and he finally see that. There is never a dull moment in these books, they are plotted out nicely with plenty of drama, angst, some Gallo humor, some action, thrilling & suspenseful moments as well as heartfelt ones, plenty of hot romance too. Chelle Bliss thank you for these awesome stories.

Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke are fantastic narrators and voice artists. They did an amazing job portraying the characters and bringing them to life. They gave each character their own voice and personality, captured their emotions and passion which could be heard in their performance. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another awesome listen🎧

Such a fantastic book

This was such a fantastic book, plenty of drama to keep me desperate for more, enough heat to melt my earphones. And just the excellence that I have come to expect from Chelle Bliss.

I also loved the way that it had a little teaser for the next book. So now to not so patiently wait for it

Great Listen

I’m really loving this Heatwave spin off and thoroughly enjoyed this instalment.

Burn picks up the story from where Flame ended so for me I would definitely recommend listening to Flame first. This was a fast paced story and kept me hooked throughout. It had plenty of drama and action but I’m really enjoying the humour that Chelle is able to weave throughout the story. It’s a Men of Inked story so family plays a major part and we get to catch up with some old favourites and meet some new characters. I really enjoyed Pike and Gigi’s story. They had smoking hot chemistry and they’re just great together.

I really enjoyed this listen and would happily recommend it.

An emotional roller coaster!

Burn is the continuation (and conclusion) of Gigi Gallo and Pike Moore’s story and picks up where Flame left off.

This book is one emotional roller coaster—it’s sexy, dramatic, funny, with a little mystery! My heart broke for Pike when the reason why his parents treated him so badly was revealed and I loved the dynamic of the Gallo family. The story is full of twists and turns that kept me at the edge of my seat until the end.

Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke did a fantastic job narrating.

Burn is a contemporary romance in dual first-person POV and performed in dual narration. It ends with a HEA. No cliffhanger, no cheating.

I received this book at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.

omg

wow this series keeps getting better and better , I still absolutely love Pike and probably more so now, all the characters are great and the storyline is gripping
can't wait for the next book !
narration was second to none , perfection !

brilliant

I loved listening to this book , Jason Clarke as Pike has a sexy voice that you just cant get enough off. Another great story by Chelle, cant wait for the next in the series, well worth reading and deserves more than 5*

I love this family!

I love this family! This book follows “Flame” and is also about GiGi and Pike. We get to meet some of Pikes family in this book. There are some scary and intense situations that made me cry a little. The dual narration is great and I can’t wait until “Wildfire”, the next book in this series is out. We will hear more about Tam’s antics in “Wildfire” I definitely recommend this series!

🎧Audiobook Obsession

I loved it

Burn is the second book in the Men of Inked: Heatwave series and the continuation of Gigi and Pike's story. This novel started right where the first book left off and was filled with family drama, action, twists & turns and sweet & sexy moments that will entertain you and have you hooked from beginning to end. I enjoyed the antics of the Gallo family and seeing Pike's inclusion into the family dynamics. This novel will evoke a range of emotions from you as it takes you on a wild ride and you will love every moment of it. I enjoyed it and would highly recommend it to all lovers of contemporary romance.
I listened to the audible version of this novel which was narrated by Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke. These two did a fantastic job with this story. They were able to give the different characters their own voice and infuse sufficient emotions into the narration. They had great pace and timing and really brought the story to life. It was a pleasure listening to them narrate this novel.

Great!

The conclusion to Gigi and Pike's story did not disappoint anyone who has been eagerly anticipating this book's release. All questions from the first book were answered, no loose ends were left untied. The chemistry between the characters continued to burn, steaming up the pages. Tears were shed especially when Pike received a letter from his mum and when Pike was taken hostage. This book had it all - laughs, tears and all the feels. The narration was fantastic really helping to bring the characters to life for the listener. My only criticism was the introduction of the character Tamara. She was annoying and childish and I really didn't like her at all.

Great story, Gigi & Pike are brilliant, thank you Chelle Bliss for another great book!
