Series:  Men of Inked #2Category /Genre:  Contemporary RomanceReceived from:  Chelle Bliss (in exchange for an honest review)Recommended for:  18+ due to explicit sexual contentGrammar/editing:  ungraded – book received as an unedited ARC / errors excusedThis is the second book in the Men of Inked series.  They each stand on their own, but I would recommend reading them in order.Michael Gallo may be tattooed and muscled, but he is not a muscle head.  He knows what he wants and works hard to go after it.  What he wants is the championship in MMA fighting.  Then he meets Dr. Mia Greco and now he has two desires, two passions to pursue.  Mia is drawn to Michael, but abhors both his vocation and his avocation.  Discovering his secret may be one thing too many to deal with.  Will it rip them apart?I love love-stories and this one was a great one.  There was just the right balance of angst, passion, and external forces to keep me turning the pages, but my favorite character this time was Ma Gallo.  Michael’s mother wants grandchildren and she doesn’t really care who knows it.  She is a constant presence, often with crochet hook producing baby blankets, and the glue that holds this family together.  Suzy and City (aka Joey) return in this story, as well as Izzy.  What can I say, I love the whole Gallo family and I’m looking forward to returning to them as soon as possible.  Do you think they would adopt me?
