Men of Inked Series Book #1

SYNOPSIS:

Suzy’s a control freak and has her life mapped out - work hard, find a man with a stable job, and live happily ever after. She’s content with the status quo, but her plan comes to a screeching halt when he enters her life and turns it upside down.

City gave up on love when his heart was crushed in college, preferring to be the typical bachelor. He spends his nights hopping from one bed to another and his days working at his family tattoo shop, Inked. A chance encounter on a dark road makes him question what he had sworn off forever – a relationship.

A night of passion and lust causes them to question everything. Is City the knight in shining armor to the damsel in distress? Can their relationship survive when a fantasy falls apart and a secret comes out that changes everything?

Becky says…

To be honest, I bounced back and forth between 4☆ or 5☆before writing this review. The questions I ask myself every time I rate a book are *Does it have a cliffhanger? This one is a major one for me because I Loathe cliffhangers more than anything. BUT NO it does not have a cliffhanger. *Was the storyline believable and easy to navigate through without becoming lost in the words? ABSOLUTELY!! *Was it a page turner from the beginning? YEP Are the characters relatable? *Sigh* City is my new book boyfriend HELL YES THEY WERE Would you read this book again? ABSOFUCKINLUTELY!

So with the Q&A part I do mentally with every review, I realized it was absurd to give Throttle Me anything less than 5☆ This is my first book by Chelle Bliss but it will not be my last!! And I CAN NOT wait to get my hands on Men of Inked #2!!!

Suzy is a shy, kinda backwards, reserved Math Teacher who has a plan of how her life should go. I see her as being on of those women who need the 2 story house with the white picket fence, picture perfect husband and 2.5 flawless kids. But on the inside a freak is waiting to be unleased lol. I even pictured the Stripper Teacher from Varsity Blues a few times as I read. I loved Suzy and found her character to be so endearing! I do think opposites attract and I guess that's why I am drawn to good girl falls for tatted and pierced bad boy. Suzy being stranded on the side of the road was probably the best thing that could have happened to her. Fate had it in his cards for her to meet City Gallo *sigh* (Just typing his name makes me fall in love with him all over again)

City Gallo is a bad ass, Italian, Biker tattoo artist who stole my heart and melted my panties the minute he came into the story.

"Yep, you're cute. Innocent, but fucking dying to be bad"

Yep he has the mouth of a bad boy for sure but he is sweet as can be too! He has a way of pulling Suzy out of her shell and making her emerge a stronger character after! There is not much more I can say about City without giving the book away.

I loved being introduced to his family and if my calculations are right we can expect possibly 4 more books in this series!! I can not wait!!

“Do you swear?” I asked as she set the glass back on the bar.

“What?” She gaped at me.

“Do you swear? Simple question. You’ve said ‘heck’ and ‘friggin’’ so far, but nothing dirty.”

“Oh, um, yeah, I swear.” Her cheeks turned pink and a small smile spread across her face. “I’m just used to watching my words with the kids around all day.”

“Prove it,” I said as I stared in her blue sapphire eyes.

“What? Why?”

“Cause I need to know if it’s in you. Are you all good girl or is there more under there dying to come out?” I hid the smile and laughter that was so close to breaking free from my lips. The pink of her cheeks spread across her face. I know I embarrassed her, but fuck, I needed to know if I stood a chance.

“Yes, I swear. What do you think I am? I’m not a child, City.” She glared at me as she raised the drink to her lips and wrapped them around the rim. Fuck I wanted those lips wrapped around my shaft, taking me deep and sucking me off.

“Never said you were, babe. Do you drink besides tonight?” I asked, now smiling because I knew she was upset. I liked the fire I saw in her eyes when I pointed out her good girl qualities – she obviously didn’t like being labeled.

“Sometimes. I’m just responsible. I don’t drink and drive. My dad used to be a cop and it was drilled into my head at an early age.” The words she spoke hit me like a ton of bricks. Drunk driving was the one thing in the world that caused my blood to boil.

Good girl teacher with a cop father? Just my luck. “Nothin’ wrong with that. Virgin daiquiris aren’t always your thing, then?”

“Why? Do I have to be a drinker? I mean does it make me less of an adult?”

“No, Suzy. Just trying to get a feel for who you are – what you are.”
