I love this so much I've read it twice already! We all know how hot the Gallo men are, but just wait until you meet the Caldo men!! Rocco is Izzy and James son. He has gone through more in his 29 years then many people. Ten years ago he the one person for him, only to have tragedy affect everything. Rebel is tough and has always looked out for herself, but just one night with Rocco made her want more....until they couldn't. Ten years later Rebel seeks refuge from the only person she thinks he can count on, Rocco's twin, and Rocco is having none of that! They sizzle is still there, but so is ten years of pain, and the only thing that has kept Rebel sane the last few years turns out to be the glue that helps heals both of them. This is definitely an emotional rollercoaster that will make you cry, laugh, make you scream...both good and bad! What makes their story extra special is the interactions with the rest of his huge, crazy family! I loved this so much and I can't wait for Mellos' story!!!

Another great read!!

This was another great read from Chelle Bliss!! Tons of sizzling chemistry, some drama, all the amazing characters we love are there. Rocco and Rebel were great leads, and Addy was cute as a button! I can’t wait for Carmello’s story!

Ember was so HOT!!!! Rocco and Rebel had one night together ten years ago but the heat never died. They were far apart but never far in thought. Tragedy pulled them apart. Tragedy crashes what they started. Tragedy will bring them back together.

Rebel needs a place to hide. Rebel needs a place to keep her little girl safe. The cabin from ten years ago would be perfect. Can she open herself up? Can she risk her heart? Does she have other options?

One call changes her life. One decision brings her back to Rocco. Ten years apart is a long time. The spark might have fizzled. Rebel fears the future. Rocco needs to know, needs to care for the one woman that has had his heart.

Rocco's life might have turned to ash but the ember for Rebel remains. Ten yeas and the heat hasn't died. He just knows she is everything. Can he show her? Can he convince her?

Ember is a beautiful journey. Ember is a show not tell romance. Rocco will do everything within his power to show Rebel that the embers of their past can ignite their future. I was so happy to be long for the journey. Ember was so satisfying that I read it for a second time.

Now I get to smolder, waiting for Carmello's story.

Ember
Men of Inked: Heatwave, Book 7
By: Chelle Bliss
Narrated by: Samantha Brentmoor, Connor Crais

First, let me say, I love the Gallo/Caldo families. Every book pulls me in and makes me want to be there with them! This one is no exception. Rebel and Rocco meet when they are 20 & 19. After a night filled with passion and an incredible connection, tragedy strikes, The two meet up again 10 years later and now things are much different. Both matured, but single the connection is still there. But Rebel has baggage. An abusive boyfriend that may be trying to find her, she comes to the one place she feels safe. And she has a beautiful daughter to protect! Will she be able to stay and protect her Addy? Talk about heart melting. I loved Rocco's confidence from the beginning. He is very secure in who he is, and now that he sees Rebel again, he knows exactly what he has been waiting for in his life. The scenes of him with Addy are touching and truly show his true heart. Rebel is a little harder to warm up to, but I can understand her. She has been through a lot, and trust doesn't come easy. But this family...enveloping all the loves of their children's lives and making them part of their own just warms my heart. This is one of my favorites of this series, and I will be visiting it again.

Samantha Brentmoor and Connor Crais are a fantastic team! Brentmoor always brings her best, and as Rebel, she is incredible. Then she flips to Addy, and brings a smile to my face! Crais is fast moving up to one of my one clicks. His voice is like melted chocolate, and just draws me in. Together these two are amazing.

Highly emotional romance with two amazingly strong characters you can't help but root for. Rocco and Rebel are a perfectly matched duo who complete each other beautifully. Throw in a sweet and irresistible kid plus all the rest of the Gallo family and you've got a five star read that's difficult to put down.

Hot Hot Hot!
This story is sooo freaking steamy!

Rocco and Rebel have had a fast start and ending to their story. After a tragic accident Rocco swears off of love and Rebel flees.
10 years later Rebel returns with her daughter to start new and fresh. But she didn‘t expect the connection to Rocco still being there.

Chelle Bliss wrote a great second chance romance with Ember. The characters are perfect for eachother and they go so well together. It‘s steamy and just overall a really good story in my opinion.
It wasn‘t to much drama which I really enjoyed but it had the right amount of suspense aswell as some amazing Gallo Family momenta.

4.5 ⭐️

Rocco and Rebel have so much chemistry. When tragedy strikes will they be each other's comfort or pain?
