Blaze: Men of Inked: Heatwave, Book 4 (Unabridged‪)‬

There are times when a book just hits you, and Blaze does it for me. I am not sure if it is the combination of characters, or the addition of the talented narrators, but it is a fantastic listen. Jet is home from the military and when he bumps into Lily in the tattoo parlor, things for our couple begin. Jet is the one Lily pined over in high school, you know the one that all he girls love. Being the studious nerd, Lily didn't think she was even on Jet's radar, but was she? Now several years later, she agrees to be his roommate. Can she do it? Between her overprotective family and friends and her lack of risk taking, we shall see! It's fun, flirty and just a blast to listen to. All our favorites are present, with Tamara and Mammoth, Pike and Gigi along with the Gallo family giving us all the love and laughter and alpha protectiveness! It's a great listen and the ending just made me smile!

Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke are an amazing team! I loved them together. Clarke just dials into Jet, with his charm and warmth. I could see why Lily fell for him! And Brentmoor is fabulous as the innocent Lily as she gains her confidence. They compliment each other well and make the listen fly by. Loved every minute!

Men of Inked: Heatwave

Narrated by: Samantha Brentmoor, Jason Clarke

I love, love, loved this book, it is a great mix of sweet and blazing hot, the story is captivating from start to end. The Men of Inked: Heatwave characters are 3rd generation Gallo’s, Sal and Mara Gallo’s grandchildren and 2nd generation in the Men of Ink series. This is Lilly’s book, her parents are Mike and Mia, Mike a former fighter and now works in Inked. Lilly, a book nerd and one of the quietest of the Gallo kin, was set to follow her Mom’s footsteps and become a Doctor. But while in med school she realized it was not for her, she returned home and trained with her Dad to do piercings at Inked. Training over she was set to do her first client solo, who turns out to be the guy she crushed on forever, Jett Michaels. Jett served his country and traveled around before coming home, he always wanted a Prince Albert piercing and went to get it. He did not know it would be her to do it, he secretly crushed on Lilly for years but she was too young and too good for him, but none of that matters any more he is going to go for it. OMG, I loved how every thing plays out in this book, there is some great inner dialogue and humor, Gigi as usual added some fun times too. The story flows naturally and is well plotted, the is never a dull moment with plenty of drama, some humor, just a touch of angst, some heartfelt moments and some hot romance. I am just loving this series and these characters and am looking forward to what comes next. Chelle Bliss thank you for another awesome story.

Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke are talented narrators and voice artists. They bring bring these characters to life, give each their own voice and personality. You could hear how much heart they put into their work as they capture the characters emotions and project them into their performance. I loved Jason Clarke’s Jett, he truly grasped his persona and Samantha Brentmoor did the same with Lilly, kudos to both, great job with the secondary characters too. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thanks you for another awesome listen🎧
