HOOK ME is the second book of the Men of Inked series which revolves around the wonderful Italian Gallo family.Chelle Bliss has a way to create the hottest alpha males… phew! Michael Gallo definitely fits the bill! He is the raw kind of hot and sexy, with tattoos and piercings just at the right places *giggles* Definitely swoon-worthy!Michael is the co-owner of the tattoo shop Inked and works there as a body piercer – by day. But every other free waking minute he spends on his true passion: Professional cage fighting. His ultimate goal: Becoming a MMA fighter. He is pretty close to achieving it and is training all the harder.After one ruthless fight it is Dr. Mia Greco who pieces him up again – and Michael is immediately drawn to her.…only Mia does not feel the same way. She is struggling every day to love her job in the ER, seeing all the diseases and damages on people whose lives she is trying to save, only to medicate someone who willingly causes injuries to others and risks being hurt himself. It just doesn't sit right with her. Her long shifts and the time she spends at a non-profit clinic do not allow any kind of relationship anyway.Neither of them thought they would meet ever again, but faith teaches them otherwise, when they happen to spend a night out at the same club several months later. Giving in to the attraction to one another, Mia has to learn that Michael is different to what she has expected, that there is more to him than just his cocky womanizer demeanor.Of course their relationship doesn't run just as smooth, especially after Michael’s crazy somewhat ex Tammy turns up with revelations that could easily destroy their tender bond.Before Mia he never has been one to commit to one woman, hooking up with a different girl every other night was more his thing – until Mia comes along… Because if you put his womanizer attitude aside, Michael is a loyal and overly protective man who does not take s*** from anyone. He always has his family’s back, stepping up for them whenever it is necessary and even for Mia: Although she would never ask for his help, he does everything in his power to make her job easier.Mia surely is the complete opposite of Michael, yet she is his perfect fit: She is strong and independent and not easily to mess with. She stands up to Michael and challenges him whenever she can. She is smart and knows what she wants.I really enjoyed this book. It doesn't have that much heartbreak, drama or complexity than several other stories, but is has just enough little twists and turns along with a lot of fun, a wonderful energetic and loving family and very steamy bedroom (well, not necessarily) scenes.Izzy’s, Michael’s sister’s, book is next and I really cannot wait for it to be released, it is gonna be a hell of a ride!!I highly recommend this series! Just sit back, relax and enjoy the Gallo family!
