Throttle Me by Chelle Bliss Blog Tour Stop

Men of Inked Series Book #1

SYNOPSIS:

Suzy’s a control freak and has her life mapped out - work hard, find a man with a stable job, and live happily ever after. She’s content with the status quo, but her plan comes to a screeching halt when he enters her life and turns it upside down. City gave up on love when his heart was crushed in college, preferring to be the typical bachelor. He spends his nights hopping from one bed to another and his days working at his family tattoo shop, Inked. A chance encounter on a dark road makes him question what he had sworn off forever – a relationship. A night of passion and lust causes them to question everything. Is City the knight in shining armor to the damsel in distress? Can their relationship survive when a fantasy falls apart and a secret comes out that changes everything?

“Do you swear?” I asked as she set the glass back on the bar.

“What?” She gaped at me.

“Do you swear? Simple question. You’ve said ‘heck’ and ‘friggin’’ so far, but nothing dirty.”

“Oh, um, yeah, I swear.” Her cheeks turned pink and a small smile spread across her face. “I’m just used to watching my words with the kids around all day.”

“Prove it,” I said as I stared in her blue sapphire eyes.

“What? Why?”

“Cause I need to know if it’s in you. Are you all good girl or is there more under there dying to come out?” I hid the smile and laughter that was so close to breaking free from my lips. The pink of her cheeks spread across her face. I know I embarrassed her, but fuck, I needed to know if I stood a chance.

“Yes, I swear. What do you think I am? I’m not a child, City.” She glared at me as she raised the drink to her lips and wrapped them around the rim. Fuck I wanted those lips wrapped around my shaft, taking me deep and sucking me off.

“Never said you were, babe. Do you drink besides tonight?” I asked, now smiling because I knew she was upset. I liked the fire I saw in her eyes when I pointed out her good girl qualities – she obviously didn’t like being labeled.

“Sometimes. I’m just responsible. I don’t drink and drive. My dad used to be a cop and it was drilled into my head at an early age.” The words she spoke hit me like a ton of bricks. Drunk driving was the one thing in the world that caused my blood to boil.

Good girl teacher with a cop father? Just my luck. “Nothin’ wrong with that. Virgin daiquiris aren’t always your thing, then?”

“Why? Do I have to be a drinker? I mean does it make me less of an adult?”

“No, Suzy. Just trying to get a feel for who you are – what you are.”

REVIEW

5 *WINK* READ

This was my first book by this author! I know, I know...I heard a lot of gasping as you all read that last sentence. I had heard a lot about her and her books but just didn't get out of the circle of books I was reading to venture into Bliss. I am so glad I signed up for this tour to get a taste, and I want more!!

The story was simple but yet the characters caught your attention. Let's just say City (Joseph) is pretty hot and carries this bad boy vibe about him but he is anything but. Yes he has tattoo's, peircings, and rides a bike but he is gentle, kind, and HOT DAMN he is sexy!

Suzette 'Suzy' McCarthy is so cute in her own little ways and I really enjoyed watching the character grow more confident in herself, branch out to new things and embrace her "fun" side. With a little help from City of course *wink*, but her character was completely loveable and I think most will find her relatable!

There was just enough drama to make it interesting, but if you are looking for a complete "rollercoaster of emotions" book you won't find it here. It was an easy, relaxing read, with just a hint of life's little hiccups. I really enjoyed this read and I recommend it to anyone who is looking for an easy romance that will make you smile, blush, and accept the next ride offered by a hot dude on a bike *wink*
