About this listen

Trace Caldo’s smart mouth always gets him in trouble. As the youngest of three brothers, he’s used to scrapping to earn respect. But when he picks a fight with the wrong person, Trace ends up kidnapped, bound, and blindfolded with no hope for escape. And when a beautiful woman comes to his rescue and offers him a way to staying alive, Trace can’t refuse her.

Ana Marie Kelly appears to live a charmed life. Raised in a wealthy family, she has everything a woman can want—if you don’t count freedom. Ana’s always been under her father’s thumb, expected to do as she’s told and not bring shame upon the family. But when Ana makes a mistake that could send her life in a tailspin, she can only think of one way out—the handsome man in her father’s garage.

And their only way out is to say, “I do.”

Torch is the 11th full-length stand-alone novel in the Men of Inked Heatwave series by Wall Street Journal and USA Today best-selling author Chelle Bliss.

I am so invested in these stories, I just simply cannot get enough. I finished this in one day and loved it so much I had to listen to it again. The Gallo's to me are like your favourite prime time sitcom that you look forward to watching every week, so much so that you find yourself watching reruns, just so you can get your fill before next week's episode airs to.

This is full of action, spice, witty banter and characters that you can relate to.

just can't get enough

Torch was a cute little story where two strangers fell in love against all the odds. Trace was sweet and caring. Ana was fierce but a little irritating when it came to her doubts. The narration was good overall an enjoyable listen.

Cute!

This is a great storyline. I really liked how this leading lady saved her man. It was a nice spin on the typical strong Alpha. With such emotional trauma this couple really was there for each other. A fantastic performance.

Very good

This book was just as magical as I expect from a Chelle Bliss book, the sense of family that Chelle brings to all her books makes this feel like a warm hug even with everything that happens in this book. I loved this so very much. Please do not ever stop writing these men of ink books they are impossible to put down and I can always read them again and again.



The narration on this one gave so much personality to the characters and ensures that yo feel that family warmth and acceptance. That’s not to say that there is no drama or suspense in it there is so much to keep you enthralled in the storyline.

Wonderful read

It is great to be back in Chelle Bliss’ Gallo world, one of my favorite places to spend time in. The heatwave series focuses on the next generation of the Gallos and Caldo family, the children of the characters in the original “Men of Ink” series, I highly recommend both these series, starting with the original is best, to get the most out of this amazing world Bliss created. This book is Trace Caldo’s story, son of Izzy Gallo and James Caldo, and he found himself in deep trouble, kidnapped and tied up not knowing what was going to happen to him, but an unlikely person helps him escape from his unknown fate. Ana Marie Kelly’s father is a powerful and controlling man who wants to dictate her future, a future she is not interested in. When she sees a man tied up in her father’s garage, she knows she should stay away, but doesn’t, instead she unties him, sets him free and tells him where to go. Trace does as instructed and not long after, the woman who saved him shows up and tells him what he needs to do to get her father off of his back. It is not a selfless plan, it works out for her too, since she is pregnant and she knows when her father finds out he is going to lose it. Her safest bet is to marry a stranger, a good-looking stranger. Trace and Ana hit it off right from the start, he hears her out and goes along with the plan, a solution to get her father off of both their backs. She is happy to leave Miami and go with Trace to his home where the two get to know each other and even after finding out who kidnapped Trace and why, he still stood by her side. She did not grow up in a loving family, did not have motherly love, and her father was just cold, so when she saw how the Gallo family was, she was in awe. Trace’s parents accepted her with open arms, and so did his brothers and cousins. I loved how everything played out in this book, it is a wonderfully written and plotted story with the perfect balance of drama, humor and witty banter between the Gallos, low angst,  heartfelt emotions, and steamy romance. Chelle Bliss thank you for another wonderfully captivating story.

🎧📚🎧And for the fabulous narration, Samantha Brentmoor and Connor Crais did an amazing job portraying the characters, giving each their own voice and personality and humanizing them with their emotions. Brentmoor, as always, was spot-on with her portrayal of Ana, and Crais did the same for Trace. Both were great performing the roles of the secondary characters and handling the witty dialogue too. These two make a great team, their voices and performance complement each other and they are believable in every role they play. They are entertaining storytellers and their narration enhances an already amazing story to another level. Thank you for another exceptional listen.
