This book was not for me, and it's possible because I'm not starting at the beginning of this world of characters. In my opinion, the heroine is a TSTL, inconsistent jerk. I never got into any of the characters and found most annoyingly over the top.

All I can say is that City has his hands full with Gigi. I loved reading every word. Making it even more enjoyable were the glimpses of the agony to bestowed on the Men of Inked in the future. The next generation is going to be overflowing with drama.
For those that like to be warned this is a cliffhanger. I am going crazy predicting what is going to happen in Burn. I don't usually like cliffhangers but this was perfectly done. The reader thought there was resolution to the drama that has occurred then BAM Gigi and Pike's world comes crumbling down.
Trying to sum up what I enjoyed in this book is easy-- EVERYTHING. (not in any specific order)
1. Revisiting so many of the past alphas.
2. Dinner with the Gallos.
3. Izzy is still AMAZING and the queen of control.
4. Second chance romance
5. MC romance, including a real Bad A$$ club
6. Tattoo artists
7. Suspense and intrigue
8. mouth dropping moments.
9. PIKE because he is gorgeous, has manner, is a gentleman, protective, biker, tattoo artist
10. Gigi all grown up and ready to be an adult even with mistakes.
11. Most of all the amazing talents of the author, chelle Bliss
12. The ending--I can't wait to read Burn.
13. Young love, Gigi is following in her parents footsteps so you know there will lots of drama.

Ends in a Cliffhanger
This was a good read. I enjoyed the characters. I wished there a little more depth to them. However I was still invested in their story.

Flame is the perfect title picked for this book! While it starts out HOT, the story is truly a slow burn. Gigi is in Daytona for bike week during her spring break. She hooks up with Pike, an alpha, overprotective, hot, inked man and figures, a week of fun,and she will disappear with some great memories. Now graduated and ready to start in her family tattoo business, she shows up for her first day, and who is also there? I cannot tell you how much fun this book is. There is witty banter between Pike and Gigi and a chemistry that pulls them together. But it is it enough to bring them back together? Bliss writes with passion, and I love the family vibe she brings into her book. It has the perfect balance of relationship building, family drama without the angst and a little suspense. I loved this mix and can't wait to see what she has in store for book 2!
Give me a book narrated by Jason Clarke, and I am a happy camper. He has a very relaxed sound when he narrates, and no matter the character, is able to find the stride to make him his own. This is my first Samantha Brentmoor performance, and I enjoyed her voice. She gave Gigi that overconfident, spunky attitude and let me love her as she adjusts to her new life. The two complimented each other well and the performance was hours of entertainment.

DNF at 15%..
I don’t like it when the first few chapters the main characters hook up.. it also had/has a lot more cuss words than what I’m used to. This was the first book I’ve read from this author, I might try again and read another and see how it goes..

So Flame...interesting name! Love the meaning behind it. She's trouble. He's trouble. They are combustible together and we wouldnt want it any other way.
My first Chelle Bliss book had to be a cliffhanger. Sigh, I'm too inpatient for cliffhangers. Luckily, the series is well under way before I stumbled upon it.
