The Gallos – The Beginning by Chelle Bliss

Short Prequel to the Men of Inked Series. Can stand Alone.

The Gallos by Chelle Bliss is a short prequel story to the The Men of Inked Series by Chelle Bliss. I think you will look at it very differently if you are already a fan of the series, vs. if this was an intro to the series for you. I loved it so much!

At only about 40 pages, this was a quick introduction to the Gallo family. Each of the kids in this Italian American family get their own book, and this one is about the parents, so we get to meet each of the kids.

The story begins with Maria, the Mom of the Gallo clan watching her grown kids, hang out at her house, and hoping that they find a love like the one she had with Salvatore.

“Even at our age, he still did it for me. I didn’t see a man in his fifties, but the muscular, sexy man I met over thirty years ago.”

Maria gives us a nice overview of each kid, before they each meet their loves. and as they ask the secret of finding lasting love, Sal answers.

“Son, when you find the right woman, age will never matter. She’ll always be the one you fell in love with.”

“The trick is to find someone who doesn’t change you, but makes you better.”

The kids are over for the day, but Sal, bless his heart, is dying to get rid of them. This older guy is still ALL ALPHA.

“Right before they arrived, I had Maria pinned against the kitchen counter, kissing her neck as I ran my hand along her inner thigh. Just as I was about to pull out my cock and bury it deep inside her, the doorbell rang. I swear to shit that kids are born with the ability to cock block.”

I have been with Mr. Ana for 28 years (OMG! When did I get that old? Lets just say we met in Kindergarten) and I still find him totally hot, and we still have amazing, hot alpha sex. Even my parents are still crazy about each other after 56 years of marriage. So I must say, it’s a total pleasure reading about a hot older couple, because DAMN, Chelle can write sex, no matter what the age.

Likes:

Great intro to the series. I love the parents, and it turn, I love the kids.
Wonderful to see an older couple who can still be hot together, especially after 30 years.
Damn, Chelle can write alpha sex!
It’s FREE!
It’s a wonderful way to check out Chelle’s writing quickly.
Would make a great gift to readers of her series.

Dislikes:

I would love more than 40 pages!
I think it may be even better to read after you know the characters, because to me, the description of each character was a bit tedious, but I think I would have loved to see mom’s thoughts after reading the whole series. I will re-read after I read this entire series.
The cover doesn’t fit the story, but it matches the series.

Rating 4.5 short story stars, 5 heat

The Down and Dirty

The Gallos is a great introduction to the Gallo kids, the heroes of the Men of Inked series. This can be a great gift to current readers, or a great introduction to new readers. The sex was super hot, and between an older couple still in love after 30 years.Chelle said she felt a little dirty writing it, because they became like parents to her, and it’s possible some loyal fans may feel like that, but I for one, loved it. The short book is free, so why not see for yourself?
