HOLY HOTNESS!! I freaking Love all of Chelle Bliss' books, but Tamara and Mamouth are just out of this world! I totally love that all the Gallo kids are getting their own stories. Chelle adds just enough angst to make you keep devouring the pages, and just enough love to make you swoon. Perfect combination.

Tamara... wild child... looking for “adventure”... Gigi’s best friend. Crow, one of Pikes former brothers in the Disciples pays attention to her, is ice to her. She’s attracted, and wants some adventure in her life... so she goes to him at the club.. Only to find that he didn’t. He’s a jerk.
In the process, she meets Mammoth,who is big, gorgeous,and treats her well.
Mammoth, Disciple brother, takes her under his wing when Crow disses her. Finds himself intrigued. But, is he really what he seems? Uncle James knows who he is, and he’s not happy.
When Tamara finds out who, or what, Mammoth really is, how will she react? Will she find out his secret, and if she does, will it cause her to run.

This was a nice book and I loved Mammoth <3
What worked:
- The book is beautifully well written;
- The plot is thick, I didn't get boring one bit. Even though the focus of the story wasn't always the main couple, I like it well enough and I did enjoyed;
- Mammoth is a great character. He is an MC with a moral compass, which I love! He is sweet, sexy, funny, protector, not at all an alpha-hole.
- I liked that the author throw a little b*tt play in it. The majority of novels I read seems so prude! But not here, there is dirty talk and both MCs are comfortable with their bodies and sexuality.
What didn't work:
- Insta-everything. Although the relationship itself take a little longer to develop, the insta-lust were so strong that sometimes seems very close to insta-love. Mammoth got one look at Tamara and wants to protect her and forgets she is almost everything he doesn't like in a women: he said he doesn't like feisty/mouthy women who throws themselves at him. Well, she is feisty, mouthy and throw herself on him. I'm not keen of these plot device, I think the MCs end up doing things they normally wouldn't do because of it.
- Tamara. I did not like her at all. She is childish and a bit stupid. If a guy is being a jerk to her and he says she has a nice ass or great boobs, she forget all about being mad at him and just beam. She have little sense of self-preservation, she teases and disobey Mammoth to the point I was getting annoyed for him.
- The epilogue. It wasn't bad by any means, but I would have liked to be about Tamara and Mammoth.
- No condoms used/ not safe.
Narration
Jacob Morgan is fantastic as always, I have no complaints. His voice is deep, sexy and growly. His pacing is spot on and he can differentiate the voices beautifully. Callie Dalton is not my favorite. Granted, I'm not keen of female narrators since the female lead sometimes end up b*tchy and whiny, and that's exactly what happened. Her narration was very good, pacing, different voices, etc. But I didn't like her voice, as I said, I though it was whiny at times. And with a FMC as Tamara, who is whiny by nature, it was almost unbearable. But this is very personal, listen to her and decide for yourself. :)
I was given this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

Holy hotness batman!!!! Tamara Gallo is everything I was hoping she would be, and then some!!!!!!!! Tamara has always been a wild one, but when she ditches Gigi and Pike to head back to the Disciples compound she gets way more than she bargained for! She heads there ready to surprise Crow, but the surprise she gets isn't the one she is expecting!! He ballsy appearance leaves Morris shaking his head....another Gallo girl....and now she has a new "babysitter" in Mammouth. Cue the flirting, snark and wild temper that only a Gallo girl can dish out! Now she has to survive a lockdown, then her family when Mammouth brings her home. Neither of them counted on any connection deeper than the incredible lust and it throws them for a loop. The tension and intrigue are amped up once Mammouth realizes he knows her Uncle James!! I don't want to spoil anything, you have to read every pulse pounding, smoking hot, snark filled page for yourself. I absolutely loved this and can't wait for Lily's story!!

Tamara went to the Disciples compound looking for Crow. She wanted to see if he meant what he told her. Upon her getting there hs turns her away but Tiny and Morris are having none of that because it is late and she is a Gallo. Mammoth is asked to protect her because shortly after she arrives the compound is put on lockdown. Mammoth and Tamara have this instant attraction and Mammoth is doing everything in his power to not sleep with her but that is a hard thing for him to do. Once lockdown is lifted he brings her home and meets the rest of the Gallos. To say that things are interesting when some family realize they know him is an understatement. Chelle has this way with making her readers want more and I love that about these books. I can't wait to see what might be in store for these two.

You can't go wrong by reading a book about the Gallo family. With the second generation things get even more interesting. The older Gallo men might have thought they were the bad boys but the have nothing on Mammoth.
His name lets you know he is a giant of a man. He is covered in tats and piercing. You would think the guys would welcome him with open arms. You would be wrong. Mammoth is a member of a MC, and not just any MC. Mammoth is a member of the Disciples.
Tamara Gallo was looking for excitement when she entered the Disciples compound. She got a lot more than she asked for. The wild child needs protecting. Mammoth is just the man for the job, or is she the man he needs to be protected from?

Wildfire
Men of Inked: Heatwave book 3
By Chelle Bliss
Narrated by Jacob Morgan, Callie Dalton, Samantha Brentmoor
I would love to hang out with the Gallo family and Chelle Bliss gives the opportunity to through these amazing characters. Tamara is looking fir a thrill and what better way than to follow an NC member home. When she’s rejected, she can’t leave the compound and is under watch by Mammoth. Mammoth is not looking fir a relationship but this girl is under his skin. What an incredible story. Bliss gives us such wonderful characters. I love Tamara. She is spirited and knows what she wants. But afraid to voice it, she is a force. Mammoth is the ultimate alpha. He is complex and commanding. This couple is combustible and loving. Add in the Tamara’s parents and uncles and this story had me laughing at the conversations. It’s fun, sexy and entertaining.
Narration by Jacob Morgan and Callie Dalton is spot on. Morgan adds that over protective sense in his voice, letting us feel his dominant side while Dalton as the spunk and sass to Tamara. The cameo in the epilogue by Samantha Brentmoor sets us up for our next adventure in this series, only making us yearn for it soon!!! Loved the performances.
