5 Hot Gallo Stars!
I’m a HUGE fan of Chelle Bliss’s Men of Inked series and I have been waiting for Honor Me with bated breath. Loved, loved, loved it! This book has EVERYTHING I have come to expect from this amazing author.
We are back into the lives of Joe (aka City) and Suzy (aka Sugar) after marriage with all its ups and downs and the entire Gallo family I adore so much!
Joe's love for Suzy is incredible. When Suzy goes through her postpartum depression after giving birth to the twins, Joe is there every step of the way to help her . For him nothing is more important than his wife. He’s just amazing. The perfect protective Alpha male with a heart of gold, loving and cherishing his loved ones. And he’s such a hunk of hotness!!!
"I wanted my wife back, and I wouldn't let her push me away for some crazy fantasy she had in her head that wasn’t my reality"
"No matter what happens, I'll be there to catch you when you fall."
Suzy and City's relationship is unique and one of a kind. I loved them in Throttle Me and now after reading this book I fell in love with them all over again. The chemistry between them is off the charts and I like the way they dealt with everything as a complete unit together showing how strong and beautiful their bond and relationship really is.
Gigi, Suzy and City’s daughter cracked me up so much! She was hilarious and stole the show every single time with her questions. There even were quite a few scenes where I literally laughed out loud.
Once again Chelle Bliss did a wonderful job creating a book jam packed with heat, passion, emotion, love, super steam, suspense, angst and humor. At one point I was on edge, almost in tears and truly thought my heart stopped.
One of the things that I like most about this Series is that I feel emotionally connected with the Gallo clan. The undying love they have for each other and the funny banter between the siblings is a real winner for me. Don't think I will ever get tired of this family.
I highly recommend this series & book! Definite must read!!

Holy moly this was intense!

Years ago, if you'd told me I'd live in a house filled with women and pink shit everywhere, I would've laughed in your face. But it was my lot in life. Pink had replaced the white space, filling up every corner of my world.
LOVE this series and I absolutely adore City and Suzy! The first book in this series is still one of my favorites. Now City and Suzy's lives have changed quite dramatically with their young family and Suzy has some serious issues to deal with. This book is funny, sexy, heart-warming and action-packed, as are all the books in this series. And the Gallo men always step up to protect what's theirs.
I love every brother and love how they all are back in this wonderful entry in the Men of Inked series.
This book takes a little bit of a departure from the earlier books, but I loved the direction it took and Honor Me really stays true to the series. City is one of THE sexiest dads around and this book is a fast-paced, warm and witty addition to the Men of Inked series. Perfect for ail Chelle Bliss fans!

March 4, 2017We return to the story of Joey and Suzy in Honor Me. After a few years of marriage and one baby under their belt, their life is about to be turned upside down when the past returns to stir up trouble for the Gallo family.
Everyone expected that the time that Tommy spent undercover was over, they never expected that members of the MC would figure out just who Blue really was or that they’d be able to track them down to their home town.
As much as Honor Me focused on Joey and Suzy, with the struggles that came with the birth of the twins and Suzy’s suffering with postpartum. This was really a story that showcased the traits we loved from the entire Gallo family.
I went into this story with one real purpose. I was a bit concerned that reading this before I started the series would ruin the entire experience, but it didn’t. What it did do is cause me to read through the entire series immediately. I binged on the Men of Inked series. I did not stop until I had read every single book and novella. Even knowing how these characters all ended up years after their book, I couldn’t stop myself – I had to know how it all started.
This series was utterly fantastic. A complete hot read filled with alpha-male heroes and lovable, feisty heroines and a family that you fell in complete love with.

A sweet, sexy, and sensational story swathed in suspense, Honor Me penetrates the heart and soul. Raw and real, this story brings on the feels. Love. Loss. Longing. Honor Me is nostalgic, noteworthy, and oh-so-nice. Being reunited with the great Gallos feels like coming home to friends, family, and everything familiar.
Ever since I wrapped up the great Gallos with Without Me, there was a pang of longing that refused to leave. An endless hangover. A wish for the story to go on as it definitely could not be over. I wanted…no needed…more of this family that is my family. I especially missed my first Gallo, Joe, ‘City.’ and like the bookworm addict I am, I had one big bookgasm upon discovering Chelle Bliss was gifting more Gallos…and CITY…my favorite!
The gorgeous Joe ‘City’ Gallo with his dark hair, blue eyes, ink, and tall, muscular body is BACK! I could not help but picture myself a few times as Suzy, his blonde, blue-eyed, and beautiful wife. When we left City and Suzy, they had their little lady, Gigi, but are adding two twin daughters to their Gallo clan.
"Little did I know that my guy would knock me up with twins. His sperm just had to be so strong that it found a way to hook up with two eggs and not the typical one."
City may be rugged and all alpha, and a lion on the outside, but he is a pussycat inside. Fiercely loyal but loving. Protective but proactive as a husband and father. Oh City, beneath that tough exterior is a sweet and sensitive man.
"Suzy was the love of my life...my soul mate...She was the mother of my children and would always be the one who did it for me."
I'm in Swoon Land.
Suzy is the opposite. She looks pure and innocent on the outside, but is a sultry spitfire inside.
" Everyone thinks I'm innocent, but I'm not."
City loves his sweet and sexy more than ever. His vixen. His Sunshine. His everything.
The fire still burns like an inferno between this captivating couple who still stokes those embers any chance they get. I love the way they keep their marriage spicy.
"Suzy had a thing for being woken up with my dick buried deep inside her. A fantasy she shared with me a long time ago and I took advantage of it, playing it over and over at every turn."
I'm still swooning but now scorching too.
What is special and sweet about City and Suzy's romance is that it is raw and real. Their struggle of trying to find themselves after having two more babies, twins, is a common problem for parents. City and Suzy are trying to connect after children and make time for them as a couple. The dilemma is a real-life one that many parents can relate to in reading this story.
"I knew that something big was simmering beneath the surface...I wanted my wife back."
Suzy is lost with hormones taking her head hostage where her emotions are on overdrive.
"All I think about is that my wife doesn't love me anymore."
My heart breaks for this big and beautiful man. City loves Suzy with everything he has and just wants to find his wife again.
Time heals most wounds. Patience and perseverance along with City's support and love has finally healed Suzy and this couple. They are the City and Suzy we all know and love: happy, heated, and hopelessly in love.
Sometimes the past reappears like a tornado, threatening to destroy everything and everyone in its path. Unyielding. Unrelenting. Unforgiving.
."...I sat there for a moment and thought about the possibility of losing someone I loved. I'd never let it happen. There wasn't one person close to me for whom I wouldn't jump in front of a bullet to protect."
Everything City, Suzy, and the Gallos have could be gone in an instant. Destroyed. Done.
"Whatever happened, I knew everyone else felt the same way. No matter what...we'd protect what was ours."
The depth and devotion of this great Gallo family is like no other. Their bond is incredible and their banter---sometimes bold, often playful, and always loving---could be that of so many tight families. I fell in love all over again and can’t love this family enough. I know them so well. They are real, right?!?
Chelle Bliss has created magic in this mesmerizing and meaningful Men of Inked series that melts hearts and elicits emotions in the best way. I was honored to devour Honor Me, a story that revisited the familiar family of Gallos, and has still left me with a hangover where I want more. Need more.

You’ve got to love those Gallo men but it’s the Gallo women and children who outshine the men in this latest instalment in the fabulous Men of Inked series!
We're back in the arms of City and Suzy for this latest instalment but from the outset, it is clear that City's life has certainly changed, in a dramatic fashion.
Years ago, if you'd told me I'd live in a house filled with women and pink shit everywhere, I would've laughed in your face. But it was my lot in life. Pink had replaced the white space, filling up every corner of my world.
The Gallos have seen their fair share of ups and downs over the years but just when they think their lives have settled down, they find themselves embroiled in danger yet again which overshadows the family as a whole. With the story highs, I laughed, and with the lows, I cried, and I'll even admit to calling Chelle every name under the sun at one point in the book, but thankfully the story ended positively with the City et al showing us just why we love them so much.
With all of the Gallo’s now partnered up, and with children, the men, and Izzy, are finding a new set of life challenges, primarily being responsible parents. Gigi, City and Suzy’s daughter, was a blast in this story and her personality was captured perfectly. I’d love for Chelle to start writing a spin-off series with the Gallo children when they are grown up. I’m sure Gigi would be a massive success if her wayward personality carried over into adult life.
Although this story focused mainly on City and Suzy, all the characters we’ve come to love were part of this book, including the Gallo parents, who show readers that you are never too old to enjoy yourselves. There is plenty of baby talk in this book which readers with families will enjoy and relate to. As parents will also understand, there is also plenty of awkward talk as Gigi starts asking some pertinent questions, especially in relationship to her father’s sexual activities with her mother and I loved the way the family dealt with her curious mind.
Discussing your sex life with your kid was the worst kind of mortification. She'd probably be scarred for life. Someday, when she was older, she'd have a lot of questions that I still won't want to answer.
As always with the Gallos, there is plenty of sexy time to savour with City and the other domineering men showing just why we love them so much. We were also treated to a trip to James and Izzy’s “club” and Suzy certainly got more than she anticipated from her unexpected visit. I’m with City though and find the thought of Izzy on a leash a little bizarre, especially given her feisty personality but whilst she’s sassy and determined in her day-to-day life, she is clearly ready to submit to James’ will in private.
On a side note, the end of this book includes an excerpt from Chelle’s forthcoming book, Top Bottom Switch and I can’t wait to get my hands on that story and to see Chelle taking her kinky side to a whole new level. Add it to your TBR today!!! Top Bottom Switch

h Chelle, you cruel, cruel woman! My heart definitely skipped a couple beats with this one! This was an emotional, heart pounding, and scorching HOT read! I expect nothing less with the Men of Inked series!
The GALLOS are back BABY!!!
I've been freaking out ever since I learned we were getting more City and Suzy! This was a romance reader's DREAM COME TRUE I tell ya! Even though HONOR ME punched me in the gut a couple of times, Bliss gives her fans a happily ever after they will remember for a very long time.
I wasn't too worried going in, knowing this was a happily ever after TAKE TWO with this beautiful couple, but I gotta say, the author took us on one EMOTIONAL ride! HONOR ME dealt with marriage and parenthood and all of the struggles that couples face all the time. Whether it be the good, the bad, or the ugly, the author held absolutely NOTHING back.
In reading HONOR ME, I was happily reminded how AMAZING this family is. The love...the devotion...the loyalty...nothing can tear these people apart. It's wonderful, beautiful, heart wrenching, and HOT as HELL! I loved EVERY SECOND of it! It always pains me to say goodbye to these characters and the Gallo family. I can only hope they pop up again in the near future.

Well, Ms. Bliss has done it again. Not only has she taken us back into the world of the Gallo family, she has once again made me fall in love with the bond and love that they all share.
We are back with City and Suzy in this book. The love these two still have and the heat they create turns into humor-filled times when they find out the kids have been overhearing more than they thought…
When an old threat turns back up, things become far more serious. And in true Bliss fashion, I was on the edge of my seat, cursing her name while rocking back and forth. (I may even have muttered out loud that I never wanted to read her books again, but that was an idle threat. I will continue to read every single one).
This book had a lot of time with just the girls too, which turns into a belly-aching laugh with all the antics they throw out. And the trip to the club?? WOW.
Overall, I loved this book. HARD. I think the emotions that the writer feels flow off the page and into our hearts. It made me connect with the book on a level I typically wouldn’t. You feel every emotion the characters are feeling, and that makes this book almost come alive. I can only hope that we get more of the Gallo family—they truly are my favorite book family. ~ Devlynn, 5 stars

The Gallo men are back in Chelle Bliss' latest release Honor Me and they are as sexy and alpha as ever. Chelle has solidified Joe Gallo as one of my absolute favorite book boyfriends and told a story that has plot twists and a serious jaw dropping moment.
Honor Me is told in dual point of views, by Joe and Suzy. Suzy is about ready to pop out twin baby girls to add to her and Joe's family. They already have Gigi, who is the apple of her father's eye, and now two more girls are on the way.
All of the Gallo brothers and their only sister Izzy (who is still my favorite badass chick) have at least one child. They are an incredibly tight family. Still sharing Sunday dinners at their parents house, still working together at Inked and still having boys and girls nights out. I love that Chelle makes them all so close.
Honor Me gives you some insight into all the Gallo's relationships and yes, they are all still deliciously naughty. Those boys know how to please their women and there are plenty of steamy scenes in this story that will have you fanning yourself. Keep Joe and Suzy together at Izzy and James' club in mind while you're reading, because, holy hotness. Which brings me back to Joe. He is just so sexy that I can't get him out of my head. His dark hair and blue eyes, not to mention that rock hard inked up body, drive me crazy. Oh, did I forget about his piercings? Yummmmmm.
Okay...deep breath and...back to the story. If you're new to the Men of Inked series, please get started reading quickly so you'll be caught up. Remember Uncover Me? How Thomas and James took down the Sun Devils MC? Well the Sun Devils make a return appearance in Honor Me. Only now, they're after all of the Gallos. So the boys band together and with the addition of the other ALFA PI men are on a mission to keep their families safe.
There is nothing sexier than men protecting what's theirs. Oh wait, unless it's Joe teaching Suzy how to shoot at the firing range. Seriously, he makes everything hot.
So even though the Gallos are in danger and everyone is on edge, Chelle Bliss still finds a way to put a lot of naughty humor into her story. Mom and dad Gallo even get in on the naughty fun. There is a running joke throughout the story that everyone will appreciate. Especially since it's something that freaks out all of our uber hot Gallo men.
There's a plot twist that I totally didn't see coming. Kudos girl, because you got me at that part. I almost lost it.
Honor Me brings together one of my favorite book families in a story that is sexy and yet suspenseful. Four solid lips smacks from me on Chelle Bliss' newest release.

"God clearly had a sense of humor." And so does Author Chelle Bliss.
Suzy and City are back with the entire Gallo family. Unlike the previous books (exception is Uncover Me) in the Men of Inked series that are under my erotica shelf, this book falls into my contemporary romance category. Oh, don't you worry. Ms. Bliss gives us plenty of hot sexy times with City and Suzy again. However, this book you get to spend quality family time with all the Gallos through their eyes. Whenever a family expands, humorous situations will occur between the seriousness that is adult life. In addition to seeing your favorite characters grow up,or better, man up, Ms. Bliss gives the reader a few different story plots that seamlessly weave together for an excellent weekend read.
If you haven't read any of the Men of Inked series, I strongly recommend you read, at a minimum, Throttle Me for Suzy and City's origin story. Although Chelle Bliss is excellent at telling the story if you haven't read the other books or series so that you don't feel lost. However, you'll be doing yourself a disservice if you don't read book 1 at a minimum. If you are one of the lucky readers who have been following the Gallo family and ALFA PI, you find an excellent story that brings all the characters you love together. I'm going to put my two cents out there. It didn't feel like good-bye or a wrap up novel if that's what you anticipate. As I read through Suzy and City's POV, I felt like I got to be a part of the lives of the Gallos. But ended on a note where (hopefully) there can be more.
4.5 out of 5 stars

Unlike the previous books (exception is Uncover Me) in the Men of Inked series that are under my erotica shelf, this book falls into my contemporary romance category. Oh, don't you worry. Ms. Bliss gives us plenty of hot sexy times with City and Suzy again. However, this book you get to spend quality family time with all the Gallos through their eyes. Whenever a family expands, humorous situations will occur between the seriousness that is adult life. In addition to seeing your favorite characters grow up,or better, man up, Ms. Bliss gives the reader a few different story plots that seamlessly weave together for an excellent weekend read.
If you haven't read any of the Men of Inked series, I strongly recommend you read, at a minimum, Throttle Me for Suzy and City's origin story. Although Chelle Bliss is excellent at telling the story if you haven't read the other books or series so that you don't feel lost. However, you'll be doing yourself a disservice if you don't read book 1 at a minimum. If you are one of the lucky readers who have been following the Gallo family and ALFA PI, you find an excellent story that brings all the characters you love together. I'm going to put my two cents out there. It didn't feel like good-bye or a wrap up novel if that's what you anticipate. As I read through Suzy and City's POV, I felt like I got to be a part of the lives of the Gallos. But ended on a note where (hopefully) there can be more.

This might be my favorite Men of Inked book. In this installment we revisit City and Suzy who are in a completely different place in life then they were way back when. Sleepless nights and real issues are plaguing this couple and now they have to see if they can figure out how to get it all together. Then just when things start to level out, an old enemy comes into the picture. Nothing is ever quiet in the Gallo family and this book was no exception.
While a lot of this book was focused on Joe and Suzy, the other family members were always around. It was nice to see into their lives and see what is happening with everyone, not just our main couple. This book was full of laughs, heat, sweetness, struggles and an OMG moment like you wouldn't believe. You know that moment...when you are reading and you get to that one part and your heart is in your throat and you will murder anyone that bothers you until you get through it...yup that kind of moment.
From beginning to end, I thoroughly enjoyed this installment. I love the interactions with all of the other characters and even though they all have bog personalities they all work so well together. It is nice to see how life has made them grow and if possible I fell more in love with City. And of course Suzy Sunshine, even when life gets her down, she is a trooper. She knows when she needs to lean on others and when to stand her ground. While I never expected that this series was going to continue, I am really glad it did. It's become one of my favorite series and being able to see them all over again was really the highlight of my month.

So I have to try and put into words the way I feel about this book and Im not sure I can.
If you are reading this and know me, then you know my love for City is very very real. So when I heard he was getting another book I nearly passed out. Then I got to read it and it was better than I could have imagined.
In Throttle Me I fell in love with City, he stole my heart and I didn't want it back, but in this book I fell in love with Joe! There was a big difference in his character, even though he was still the same guy. He is just more in this book, more alpha, more loving, more mature, more giving...just more. The way he loves is on another level to a lot of men Ive read about, and he shows it with everything he is in this story. He puts his women on a pedestal, and his family is everything to him. I love seeing his passion for Suzie, the way he puts her before everything makes me sigh!
BUT....I will say that there was a moment that I held my breath, the moment that I wanted to get a hold of Chelle and slap her....but Im not going to mention THAT HEART WRENCHING MOMENT!!!!
If you like the Men of Inked series then this is a must for you. Seeing the men in a different light, seeing them maturing and becoming the men they truly are is just everything to me. If you fell in love with City, then prepare to fall in love with Joe.

I didn't think it was possible to love Men of Inked more, but now I do...
I can't get enough of this incredible series that has pulled me into the Gallo family and made me feel like I belonged. Chelle Bliss has created an amazing cast of characters that she has written so perfectly that the line blurs between fiction and reality. I can almost taste the food at the Sunday dinners and hear the laughter as the siblings tease each other mercilessly. I'm sure that anyone watching me laugh out loud as I stare at my kindle will agree that my reality is blurred, I just hope they don't call the men in the white coats to come get me. But I can't help myself, it's just too damn entertaining sometimes.
Each time I read a new book in the series, I love it. But this time, I have to say...again, that it's my favorite. The more I get to know the characters, the deeper I fall into their lives, the more I'm invested in each book. I devoured Honor Me quickly, it's almost impossible to pry your fingers from your kindle once you start reading. It's full of love, laughter, and suspense. You'll either be giggling, gasping, or going back for more. Yes, there's definitely a few pages that you might want to bookmark for repeat visits (wink-wink).
I don't know if this is the end of Men of Inked or not, only time will tell. However; I am very excited about the author's new project. I can't wait to get my hands on Top Bottom Switch, I'm very intrigued. The line forms here... ♥

It has all been leading up to this. We met and fell and in love with the Gallos. We watched them fall head over heels, one by one, and now they are here to give us their final word. You thought the drama was over. You thought we had heard it all. But Chelle Bliss comes back to this series with the explosive last piece of the puzzle.
Honor Me is not one to be missed if you have read, followed, loved, and stalked this series. You are going to laugh, smile, cry, swoon, get angry, and fall in love all over again. Your heart is going to race and your breathing will accelerate. You might find yourself on the edge of your seat, racing to the finish just to get to that happy ending.
And the final piece of the Men of Inked series is here. This is the continuation of City and Suzy's story. We met them in the beginning of this series. We watched them fight for their love and get their happy ending. Now you will be thrust back into their lives. Drama. Passion. Secrets. You are in for quite an emotional ride.
I highly recommend this book.

WOW! That was my reaction finishing this book. Another home run from Chelle Bliss. I couldn't wait for this book to hit Amazon & I was NOT disappointed! I love City & Suzy but what I love about Ms. Bliss' books is we get to have a taste of all the Gallo's & friends!
I laughed out loud so many times with this one! The labor scene was hilarious! I could just picture City & Suzy in that moment! There were a lot of those moments that I loved & some that brought me to tears! At one point I was crying & silently begging the pages to not let me be reading what I was reading! I wanted to scream & I just may have done that! Ms. Bliss did an awesome job creating a book jam packed with suspense, love, steam, humor, angst & did I mention suspense??
I would highly recommend this series & book! Looking forward to the next!

Favorite Quotes:
“We’re married. What’s his is mine and what’s mine is mine.”
“I have it in my will that you’re to be buried with me like the slaves in Egypt. You’re coming to the afterlife with me, baby.”
My Review:
It feels rather heavy – and the end of an era - to come to the last Men of Inked book. I love reading Chelle Bliss as much as I adore this loud and irreverent family with their outrageous antics, sexcapades, and spats. Ms. Bliss has mastered the art of writing steamy sensual scenes with the added bonus of entertaining hits of humor. I am going to miss this intriguing and complex family with their dirty mouths, dirty minds, and big hearts.

Let me say that I enjoy reading about the the guys in this family but I can't stand Izzy. I enjoyed diving into this world but I was not happy with the women. The women to me seem bossy and abusive to the men. I'm still trying to decide what else I feel about the book but I was really put off by the women.

It was so good to meet Gallo's family again,they are loud,loving,sexy with a bunch of little children (Gigi is my new favorite child ever-can i adopt her?)
Thank you Mrs. Bliss for this family,maybe there will be Gallo's next generation? I would love to see how all the boys cope with grown up children and starting to date?

Loved it... City was my favourite Gallo, so, so good to read about him and his Suzy again! This book has it all; and we get a glimpse of all the Gallo's lives since we've last read about them. So much emotion, I laughed, I cried and felt... Thank you Chelle for another great instalment of the Gallos!!

To fall in love again with Suzy and Joseph Gallo!
I've been binge reading Men of Inked and I'm in love with this series and the characters. I love their banter, their love, their loyalty and even their nosiness. I love how they can count on each other for everything and how they protect and help their loved ones.
After falling in love and getting married, Joe and Suzy are even more connected and passionate than ever. And now, being parents of Gigi, they are expecting two new aditions to their family.
Their love is pure, intense, hot and runs deep! They are partners and lovers, friends and each other's happy and safe place. And no matter the changes, no matter what they face, no matter the doubts and insecurities, their love only grows.
"When I look at you, I see the same girl I fell in love with. I love you more today than I loved you the day we got married. Everyday with you is like a gift. The fact that you're doubting that has me scared"
One thing I loved about this book is that, even though the blurb was based on a serious and very important point of the plot, the whole story showed a lot of things about their lives and didn't revolve around one single event.
There were sensible topics that I loved to read about and that more people should read. There were other arguments between the couples and, of course (as the blurb showed) a new danger. There were a lot of things happening, but it was amazing to read, because we saw their day to day lives, their problems, their solves, their fears, their overcoming and, mainly, their love.
'I'll always be there to rescue, my love. No matter what happens, I'll be there to catch you when you fall"
It was beautiful and enticing, and once again, my love for this huge family grew!

Emotional and funny! A great "catch-up" on how the Gallos are doing.
I have devoured this series all week and fell more and more in love with them all over the last few days. They've gone from enjoying single life to overprotective parents. They've become their versions of Ma and Pop Gallo, even more so with their über alpha tendencies.
Honor Me takes place years after the Throttle Me began. Joe aka City and Suzy have been married for years and are expecting twins. Their little girl Gigi is already and handful (and totally adorable) so they've got a lot on their plate.
While they prepare and adjust to the life's recent changes they now have to beware of the villains from Thomas' life undercover. All of the Gallos are facing this danger and and City as well as Suzy acquire Mama Bear and Papa Bear attitudes.
What I loved was that even though they all had to worry for their safety, it didn't deter them from continuing with their lives. They banded together and proved, yet again, how strong the Gallo bond is. Their love knows no bounds. And no matter what is going on around them, they still have time to be just as naughty as ever...even with little ones. They are never too busy to appreciate their partners and demonstrate their love between the sheets. EVEN Ma and Pop Gallo.
Believe me, even with the suspense and emotions it evoked, this will have you laughing too.

Love those Gallos!!! Honor me is mostly about Suzy and Joe Gallo (the man who made us start to fall in love with the Gallo Men. ♡) Parts of this story delt with some series issues, but mostly it was pure HOTNESS and So Funny.

I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.
Ever since first being introduced to Chelle Bliss's books I have salivated, over heated, and even shed a tear or two while reading and absorbing every word that she has written. I along with thousands of other fans fell madly in love with Mr. and Mrs. Gallo and all five of their inked, pierced, loud mouthed, big hearted Italian offspring, from the first word of Throttle Me until the last page of Without Me. Chelle has enticed and seduced us with every foul or passionate word they uttered, the danger they endured, every fight they started or finished, and every Sunday family dinner they consumed. She cut us off at the knees emotionally with this clan and created an unforgettable family that made us feel like we were there for every bite of lasagna, bawdy joke, or lick of delectable flesh. Although I have loved all of her books since in the Alfa PI series and Enshrine, a piece of my heart was still left back with the Gallo family that we would occasionally receive a glimpse of in her newer books. Even though my affections run the deepest for James and Izzy, City and Suzy are there right beside them. So I was beyond thrilled as I am sure all the other Men Of Inked fans were to visit the Gallos again and experience all their pain and joys.
Joe "City" Gallo is all heart under all that yummy inked and muscled goodness and it only beats for his family, his beautiful wife Izzy, their daughter, and unborn children on the way. He is quickly realizing that there are many dangers out there that can threaten this beautiful life that he has built and he will protect it at all costs. I loved being back with this motorcycle riding hottie and his complete adoration of his Suzy who he affectionately calls “sugar” all the time. He makes you weak in the knees with his dominance, protectiveness over those he loves, and his ability to rock Suzy's world and always give her what she needs in or out of the bedroom. Seeing him as a husband and father melted my heart and made me love him all the more.
Suzy Gallo's body and emotions are ever changing in her state of growing two more Gallos to add to the family tree. Chelle brings her vulnerability to life in such a way that the reader is right there with her through every disparaging thought, shed tear, rediscovery of herself, and whimpered desire for City. To be a part of her journey is breathtaking and empowering and I couldn't help but feel closer to her and want to experience more of this woman who became the “sunshine” of the Gallos after one passionate night in Throttle Me.
Chelle Bliss has taken her fans on another emotion filled trip with the Gallos that had me alternating between laughter and tears of happiness from being among their presence again. The Gallo family has grown in every way and will consume even more of your heart while they fight to keep a strong hold on those that they hold near and dear to their heart. I highly recommend for romance readers who want to live, eat, and breathe amazing characters that will set up residence in your heart and will become friends that you have to revisit again and again. Honor Me has all the heat, laughter, and danger that has surrounded them in each book of the Men Of Inked series and you won't want to miss a word of City and Suzy's journey.

Chelle Bliss takes readers back home to the Gallos in Honor Me. This crazy, lovable family does not disappoint, serving up another sexy, thrilling, and heartfelt novel. Honor Me continues Joe aka City and Suzy’s story, picking up in the middle of Suzy’s second pregnancy and following the highs and lows of married life. Chelle Bliss isn’t afraid to get real with this one, putting this couple through the wringer as they face the raw and sometimes devastating storm of emotions that come with parenthood and getting older. There was still plenty of sexy fun, especially with the rest of the Gallo couples around to swap stories with and in true Chelle Bliss fashion, I found myself blushing on more than one occasion. Chelle Bliss writes with undeniable passion and care, putting her heart and soul into these characters and demonstrating her love for the Men of Inked world. Honor Me is another memorable piece of the Gallo story.
I very much enjoyed the emotional journey that Joe and Suzy’s relationship took in this book. Their lives were unpolished and their problems weren’t easily resolved, but it was this realistic portrayal that made their journey feel so incredibly genuine. Chelle certainly didn’t gloss over the issues that come with being parents and maintaining a marriage and my heart definitely ached before she made it flutter, but ultimately this struggle made Joe and Suzy’s marriage more meaningful and gave this book the emotional depth necessary to balance the steamy encounters and hilarious banter. I loved how Chelle Bliss unraveled Suzy, exposing her insecurities and vulnerabilities to readers and making it ok for her to feel those things. I felt much more connected to the character because of her flaws and the way in which she accepted them, grew from them, and eventually owned them.
The Gallos embody the unconditional love, unwavering loyalty, and emotional turbulence that define family and I always end a Men of Inked novel with a familiar feeling of contentment. This time around, Chelle Bliss ties in the ALFA PI series, crossing over characters to create an even larger circle. Having not read the ALFA PI series, I felt as if their relationships with the Gallos, while briefly mentioned, were not explained sufficiently enough to demand my investment in those ties. The plot also exhibited some discord that caught my attention. The personal battles Joe and Suzy faced in their home life seemed so separate from the danger they faced as a family during the second half. I would have liked to see a bit more continuity in the storyline, hints of the danger peeking through in the beginning, in order to better maintain the flow of the story. Overall, I enjoyed Honor Me and had no problem falling in love with Joe and Suzy all over again. I loved seeing the Gallos a little more grown-up but still just as dirty!

I was beyond thrilled when it was announced that there would be another Men of Inked book. This has been my favorite series since I opened the first book, as much as I love the ALFA series, the guys got there start in the Men of Inked so this series will always have a special place on my shelves and in my heart.
City's & Suzy are back y'all but not quite the way you remember them.
Suzy's got some serious issues to deal with, and as much as Joe want's to fix things for her he can't. She's got to accept outside help an get back on track herself and he has to accept that there are some things he can't do for his wife, some things he no matter how much he wants to help he just cant.
To a man like Joe having his hands tied when it comes to his family is probably the worst thing that can happen, so while Suzy is struggling so is Joe.
Honor Me catches us up with our favorite family, all of the Gallo's are back and I as most of you know am a HUGE Izzy & James fanatic so seeing them, especially Izzy's smart mouth and James using his Dom voice an going all alpha on her was a bonus for me.
This time though the story is more focused on family relationships, yes I know every book in this series is based on their strong family ties but this one focuses on Joe & Suzy's life, the changes they've been through and how they stick together to get through it, along with the rest of the Gallo's of course!
Once they finally seem to have their life back on track something from the past comes after them and threatens the family. Once again they must work as a unit to keep everyone safe.
Honor Me has something for everyone. There's the humor we've come to know and love but also angst, sadness and suffering, unconditional love, suspense and everything Gallo all wrapped up on one great story.
Joe's unconditional love for Suzy made this book, his will to fight and never give up on her no matter how hard things got may have earned moved him closer to the top of the list when it comes to my favorite Gallo.
City's & Suzy are back y'all but not quite the way you remember them.
Suzy's got some serious issues to deal with, and as much as Joe want's to fix things for her he can't. She's got to accept outside help an get back on track herself and he has to accept that there are some things he can't do for his wife, some things he no matter how much he wants to help he just cant.

5 star Review Honor Me (Men of Inked #6) by Chelle Bliss
This was City and Suzy’s follow up story, but it wouldn’t be a Men of Inked book without the appearance of the rest of the family. I loved this book from start to finish. This book was as wonderfully well written, as previous books I have read from this author. Ms. Bliss brings The Gallo family to life for me and frankly all I want is to be adopted into their family.
I love that at the heart of these books is the love of family and what they will do for each other, no matter the cost; even if the cost is the death of a loved one.
I laughed, I cried, I yelled out loud and I refused to put Honor Me down. I have to say whilst reading this book my heart stopped a few times. I read this book in nearly one read, I was riveted; I had to know what was going to happen next!
As with previous books in the series, Honor Me was an emotional rollercoaster whilst being downright sexy and dirty, in the best possible way at the same time. I love how caring and yet dirty City is with Suzy. He absolutely oozes sex appeal, dominance and control; a real alpha male, one I would most certainly love to meet. The heat and emotions are intense and don’t be surprised if you get burnt as you read.
The sex is absolutely scorching but the danger is real. Will they all survive, or will tragedy shatter this close knit family?
Actually, I love all of the Gallo family. At times I felt that City and Suzy’s daughter Gigi almost stole the book. She is one funny and feisty young lady. They will certainly have their hands full when she gets older, that’s for sure.
Ms. Bliss writes with a depth of character that at times comes right out of no-where and knocks your socks off. The layers of emotions she peels back can at times be heart wrenching, shocking and surprising.
This is one of those series that you do not want to see end and I cannot wait for the next book in the series.

4.5 star
The story has laughs, twists and turns, secrets, ton of pleasure, and heartbreak.
I would recommend reading the below before reading this story
The Gallos: The Beginning (Men of Inked #0.5)
Throttle Me (Men of Inked, #1)
Hook Me (Men of Inked, #2)
Throttled (Men of Inked, #2.5)
Resist Me (Men of Inked, #3)
Resisting (Men of Inked, #3.5)
Uncover Me (Men of Inked, #4)
Without Me (Men of Inked #5)
This is more of Suzy and City (Joe)’s story. Suzy is having a tough time with things and City is trying to help her out but also knows she might need more help than just he can offer. You get updates on all the brothers and things they have been getting into since the last story. There are twists and turns in this story that will keep you hooked until the end. Also something that you might not be expecting that might just break your heart at first. But when the dust settles you will be happy with the outcome. Secrets will come into play but really should you keep secrets from your family? Can this family deal with the outcome of the secrets and revelations that are throughout the story?
I was able to connect with the characters and the story was a great read. Chelle’s stories are funny, engaging, suspenseful, and erotic all at once. I was sad to see this series end. Story skimmed over issues that were solved in the background. I felt the end was a little rushed but overall I enjoyed the story.
I recommend this book, the series, and can’t wait for the next story from this author.

This is the sixth book in the Men of Inked series. I love the Gallo family and was so excited to hear about this book. Chelle Bliss is an amazing storyteller who is so very talented and I love her books. Joey is my favorite Gallo so I was excited that this was about him and Suzy and of course the rest of the family appears in the book also. At one point I was crying my eyes out and cursing Chelle Bliss but it turned out to be misdirection. Joey and Suzy Gallo have their adorable little girl, Gigi and are now expecting twin girls (poor Joey). Gigi is a total Daddy's girl and she's also a lot like her Aunt Izzy, which is hysterical. Suzy is feeling fat and unattractive and doesn't understand how Joey could possibly want her or love her. Her depression continues after the twins are born and Joe is scared of what will happen to his beloved wife and their marriage. He talks her into seeing someone and after months of therapy she is back to her usual happy and confident self. Just when they think everything is peaceful their perfect life is threatened. When Thomas Gallo was a DEA agent he went undercover and took down the Sun Devils MC from the inside. Two of the MC members have been released from prison on a technicality and they know who Thomas really is and they want revenge. Can the Gallo men and James keep their women safe without scaring them too much ? I really loved this book, it was funny as hell, sad, sweet and just really friggin' good.

When Chelle Bliss releases a new book....you stop what you're reading, and jump right in. No matter what!
Hearing that City and loveable Suzy were coming back had me excited as anything. What can I say? As much as I love all of Chelle's alpha men, City will always have a piece of my romantic heart. The big teddy bear loves his family to pieces, and will stop at nothing to make sure they're all safe.
It was so wonderful getting back to the Gallo family again. Seeing how everyone was getting along in life made me smile. Of course, now that there are three little girls in Joe's life just made me giddy as well. Especially the little spitfire known as Gigi. Her antics had me laughing throughout the book. Totally takes after aunt Izzy!
When hardship strikes thanks to the past, Joe stops at nothing to make sure his family remains safe. I will admit, this book made me cry at some points and gasp. I thought for sure somethings were set in motion, but thankfully, Chelle managed to make me go from wanting to hit her (gently!) to wanting to hug the ever loving crap out of her.
I loved getting to see every Gallo sibling again, along with the founders, Sal and Maria. The entire family is still the same as when we last saw them in Unlawful Desire, Sinful Intent and Without Me.
You will not regret reading this book, in fact, I have a feeling you'll be smiling big once you finish.
