Delightful Slow Burn

Emotional, entertaining, witty, thrilling, passionate, beautiful, evolving, quirky, engaging, sweet, humorous, steamy...the list goes on. I loved that it was written as a slow burn, and watching the two MCs grow through out the book. It was great catching up with the Gallo clan again and those text groups were the best!

I'm in love

another amazing book. I love the fact that all the males in this family care and love an respect and even protect there girls. family is everything and thats what feeling i get when I read Mrs. bliss books. its an eye opener from beginning to end. her books are always a much read vibe. they open your mind to a world full of love and romance. thank you again for another wonderful read.

Fire!

I am in love with Connor Crais and Samantha Brentmoor as Carmello & Arlo.
Connor and Samantha brought these two to live for me, they made the story that much more enjoyable.
Connor has a simply sexy tone in his voice and Samantha brings the right amount sassy and sexy to Arlo's voice.
I love this family and this series so much that I think everyone needs to grab it and listen!

A story that will sweep you off your feet!

Another breathtaking listen from Chelle Bliss! I cannot ever get enough of the Gallo Family. Chelle always has me laughing out loud and then crying over her words. And to top it all off with the narrator, Connor Crais, I melted over his smooth, sensual voice. He truly embodied Carmello, making me swoon and fall hard for the hero.

Carmello and Arlo were all playful banter and blazing sexual tension. A slow burn that was so worth the wait. Their pasts, though tragic, made them stronger in the end. I enjoyed every second of this listen/read, I am at a loss for words. It is just that perfect and I always want more once I have finished.

My heart is so full and there is a giant smile on my face. I feel like these characters have become my family because I have been on this ride with the Gallo Family since the very beginning. This story is everything to me!

Beautiful story

I loved this story so much! I’ll address the elephant in the room persay. Carmello oozes sex appeal. Him and Arlo together are hot but there is only 1 sex scene in this book. I loved it even more for that fact. Chelle Bliss creates a beautiful friendship between Carmello and Arlo. I feel like it was one of the best developed back story because you didn’t have sex getting in the way.


The narrators Samantha Brentmoor and Conner Crais are so good together. They both bring so much to the story. Chelle Bliss’s audiobooks always feel like I’m watching a show. I might just get the story read to me but depending on the narrators, and these two are fantastic, I can visualize the story in my mind. It’s all brought to life by their voices, by their emotions. Miss Brentmoor has a sexy and soothing voice. She’s fun and charismatic. Crais seemed to bring Carmello to life. He also sounds sexy and completely charming. This duo is so balanced and so pleasing to the ears.

Gallo’s got it!!

Ok sooo, the Gallo family is the one you crave to be apart of.

Chell’s got it on the spot. Her stories just reach out and suck you in. Once you start you cannot put it down or turn it off.

This book gives you all the feels. You laugh your ass off then you have tears and before you know it. Your heart just swells with love.
The narrators to me just fit the the characters and brought them to life.

Cannot wait for the next installment.

Enjoyed

I am current on Chelle's collection so happy that this story was released. My favorite part is the chat's between all of the cousin's. Fun to see the journey of friendship between Mello and Arlo. Samantha is only in the epilogue. I share that as I like to know when a co-narrator is in only a small fraction. Looking forward to learning more about the family in upcoming stories.

Fantastic

Have read all of this series, love this author! The series follows generations of the family. So darn good!

Moving on

Another great book for Chelle Bliss. I listen to the audio, and I think the narrators did a wonderful job and just helped add to the story.

When I was first introduced to Carmello in Ember my heart broke for him. Everyone deserves to heal, and he is no exception. I think some of the worst scares one can have is the ones that you can not see. Carmello sure has a lot of them. But underneath all his hurt he still maintains to be a great moral. He has a good heart and has not allowed that heart to truly harden which I think is great.

Arlo is a strong woman but that does not mean she does not need saving. I think the chemistry between Arlo and Carmello is awesome.

This story is a great story and I truly recommend this book.

Camello is book boyfriend perfection

Jesus I was not prepared for Carmello. This man is perfection wrapped up in a sweet alpha. Arlo is perfect for Carmello and Carmello perfect for her. They have an intense connection that goes beyond physical. I love the journey they went through for their happily ever after.

Connor Crais is a new obsession. He has a smooth voice that is perfect for Carmello. He voiced almost the entire book and he made a day of work go by fast. I loved the way he brought Chelle's words to life. He made me realize I missed the Gallos. They are crazy and I love them. For the short bit Samantha Brentmoor voiced she was great for Arlo.

This family grows and grows and it will be a sad day Chelle doesn't write these Gallos. I can't wait for more.
