Brax Gallo doesn’t believe in love at first sight. Heck, he doesn’t stay in relationships long enough to develop real feelings for any woman. But one look at the sad girl alone at his bar, checking her phone, and gnawing her lip with worry and he’s absolutely smitten. He knows in that moment; it’s possible to fall hard and fast.
Iris has always been unlucky with love. After being stood up at the altar two years ago, she has no interest in dating. But her friends leave her no choice when they create a dating profile for her and set up a date. She hopes for the best, thinking she’s due for a break. She waits for him. And waits. But when he doesn’t show, she’s reminded that men break her heart every time.
What starts out as a flirty banter leads to something neither of them wanted, but everything they needed.

I’m so obsessed with the Gallo family and Brax and Iris’s story was another unputdownable book. When Brax first met Iris he knew she was special. Brax and Iris are inseparable but when Iris’s ex comes back into the picture, Brax will do anything to protect her. Another amazing read that had me hooked.

🫦 I want to fall in love with a guy with tats…and a piercing…who knows a guy who knows a guy; that’s going to protect and cherish me. That’s Brax Gallo
📚Review~ Want (Men of Inked Sinners Book 2)
🖋Author~ Chelle Bliss
🖋Genre: Men of Inked Sinners, Alpha Male Romance, Contemporary Romance
⭐️Rating 5/5
💖 Brax and Iris 💖
I’ve been a longtime fan of Chelle Bliss and the Gallo family. I love the way the Gallo family instantly welcomes Iris into their midst. Brax is so patient and understanding, putting Iris and her fears before his own desires. He is everything that Iris’s former fiancé is not. And thank goodness! Because he is open with his feelings even while Iris is afraid to make herself that vulnerable again.
Even while dealing with the devastating betrayal of the man she thought she loved sends Iris into a self-imposed dry-spell, her two friends are wickedly sweet and so much fun! Their banter and positive influence are the reason Brax and Iris unexpectedly meet.
🎨 “It’s time to stop grieving what could’ve been and start getting excited about what will be.�
Want is a slow-burn of attraction, love, and patience. A true demonstration of how love can selflessly flourish. Another fantastic addition to the expansive Gallo family. And, Brax wants to share it all with Iris…forever� the neighborhood bar with its good-natured regulars, old Irish gangsters, and a fantastic Italian grandmother whose eggplant parm is the absolute best.
🫦 Highlights:
🦖 I really like Brax. Even though his name sounds like a dinosaur, Braxasaurus-Rex has my belly flipping out of lust, not fear.
🎨 Finding your forever isn’t always easy. Hell, it doesn’t happen for everyone. But I have a feeling my future is next to me, and I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her there.
🦖 We’ve dealt with men like Malakai our entire lives, and all that matters is that you are safe from here on out.

After a string of DNF reads, *Want* by Chelle Bliss swooped in like a warm hug on a cold day—and what a perfect choice it turned out to be. As someone who’s read and enjoyed a few books from the original Gallo Brothers series, I was beyond excited to dive into this spin-off. The moment I saw it featured Santino (Tino) and Betty’s extended family, I was all in.
The story kicks off with Brax, who’s working behind the bar when Iris walks in, having just been stood up on a blind date. Cue the snowstorm of the century—classic Chicago vibes—and a very generous offer from Brax’s sister Tate to let Iris crash in the apartment above her tattoo shop. What starts as a night of awkward but cute proximity soon becomes the beginning of something real between Brax and Iris.
Iris, however, comes with baggage. Her ex not only broke her heart, but also left her with a dangerous mess—he owes some very bad people a lot of money. As feelings start to build between Brax and Iris, so does the tension. Can Brax keep Iris safe and show her that she’s worthy of the love he’s ready to give? And will Iris let herself fall again, especially when the threat of her past is still very present?
What made *Want* such a standout for me was the blend of warmth, family loyalty, sizzling chemistry, and just enough drama to keep the pages turning. It had the same charm and heart that made me love the original Gallo series, but also gave me those feel-good, fresh-start vibes that make romance so addictive.
If you're a fan of series like *The Edens* by Devney Perry, *The DiMarcos* by Jennifer Hanks, or *The Lancasters* by Monica Murphy, then you'll absolutely love what Chelle Bliss is building here with the Chicago-based Gallos. It’s got that same sense of found family, steamy slow-burn romance, and enough personality to make you want to binge the whole series.
*Want* has completely rekindled my love for the Men of Inked world, and I can’t wait to dive back into the stories of the siblings, cousins, and all the Gallos that make this fictional family one worth obsessing over.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review.
This is the story of Brax and Iris. If you have been reading the Gallo family series then you are going to know who all these characters are and who is related, who knows who and how. I don't want to go into the history of the characters in case someone hasn't started the series. If you haven't you really should. Brax is a man who doesn't do love. He isn't even sure he would know what love he. He is more a go out with them have a great time and move on before anyone develops any sort of feelings kind of guy. But when he met Iris he knew that she was special. She has been engaged before. But, that relationship ended badly and she has put herself one a self imposed no men rule. He betrayed her in the worst way she imposed the no men rule, but thank goodness she has two friends that help her make it through this mess. Thanks to them she meets Brax. This man, oh my, he is going to steal your heart. He is so patient and kind to Iris. Putting her needs before the serious desires that he is holding onto. I love the way that he wasn't afraid to show her that not all men are the man she thought she loved. He was open about his feelings and laid it all on the line at times with her. Something he has never done with anyone in his life before. When her ex comes back into the picture Brax will do anything to protect her. This book is sweet and romantic.. Nerve wracking at times. A slow burn of a romance that you do not want to miss.

Want is the second book in the Men of Inked Sinners series and this book touches your heart and soul with such a need. Brax is drawn to Iris the moment he lays eyes on her and as much as Iris is attracted to him her walls are up due to the pain love has brought her before. With Brax wanting what his sister and his parents have, Iris just might be the person he has been hoping for. The chemistry between these two is electric and the heat that radiates between them can be felt deep under your skin. Brax will steal your breath in the way that he cares and treats her and that nothing will stand in his way to protect her. Their story has a little drama, action and suspense to it to keep you on your toes. The witty banter between the side characters including Iris's friends and Brax's family brings a little lightness and entertainment to this storyline. Another beautiful love story in the Gallo world that has us all wanting what they have.

Love Love the second generation of Southside Gallos! Brax (Tate's brother) loves women, just not relationships. He wants want he parents have, but doesn't think its in the cards for him. One night his is world is turned upside down when he spies a beautiful woman at bar looking so sad. Iris has been hurt badly in the past and has given up on men, trusting only her best friends. Her best friends are the reason she is sitting alone at a bar, confirming her thoughts that men are not worth it, when the most handsome man notices her. The chemistry is there, but is she willing to put herself out there again? Is the flirty bartender more than the playboy he seems? Brax is determined to make Iris his, he just has to convince her, and he'll do whatever it takes...no matter who he has to face. Throw in a nosy and opinionated extended family and sassy best friends and you have a recipe for a love story you won't forget!

I enjoyed reading this story!!!! Starts with Brax working at the family bar Hook & Hustle and that is where he meets Iris. Iris is there because her friends set her up on a blind date who never showed. Brax and Iris end up talking and when she wants to leave he walks her to her car but the car doesn't start so Brax tells here that he has a place she can stay the night . I was drawn in to find out what is happening with them and when Iris ex texts her how they deal with that. Love reading how Brax is with is family in Chapter 5 you can feel the love that they have for each other and laughs. Chelle stories are filled with family that loves and stands by each other and always there for each other. I look forward to the next book in this series Need.

5 Star Review Want (Men of Inked Sinners #2) by Chelle Bliss
From the moment Brax Gallo set eyes on Iris while working at the family bar, Hook and Hustle he felt a connection.
I really loved Brax, he was totally swoon worthy. He is my idea of a book boyfriend, caring, protective, a man with a heart.
I felt for Iris, after being jilted at the altar, her friends have finally convinced her to take a chance on dating again. Of course this doesn’t work out but then she meets Brax.
From the first to the last paragraph , I was invested in the story that Ms. Bliss wove. Their journey was rocky but what a journey it was.
Want is everything I look for in a romance story. It was emotional, passionate and witty with characters whose story you cannot help but be drawn into.

What I always love when stepping into a book about the Gallo clan is the sense of family and whether they live in Florida or Chicago that family theme is always present and Want, book two in the Men of Inked Sinners series is no exception.
This is Brax and Iris� story and these two found something special right from the start. Brax is the owner of the bar and the bartender which keeps him in the know about what is happening in his neighborhood. So when Iris shows up in his bar he feels the need to protect her especially when her ex brings danger to her doorstop all bets are off and the Gallo’s do what they do best, bring people they care about into their fold and keep the safe and cared for.

This is the second book in this amazing series and this is Brax and Iris’s story.
Brax is sweet and protective, but he does not believe in love at first sight, while Iris is unlucky in love after being jilted at the altar. From the moment that Brax spots a sad Iris sitting at a bar, he is instantly smitten.
This is a well written, easy to read, with found family, friendships, emotions, engaging and realistic characters, drama, action, grumpy / sunshine, opposites attract, romance, and love, which leads to an entertaining, and endearing, addictive page turner.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

Brax Gallo doesn’t believe in love—until he sees Iris, a heartbroken woman stood up on a blind date. Drawn to her sadness, he can’t help but step in. Iris, still reeling from past heartbreak, isn’t looking for romance, but Brax’s charm proves hard to resist. What begins as playful banter turns into something unexpected—something they both desperately need.
Want is a steamy, grumpy-sunshine romance featuring found family, commitment fears, and an alpha hero, its page turning from the start and I loved it.

Iris is just going on a blind date so her friends will leave her alone. She is stood up but ends up talking to the bartender, Brax. Her car breaks down and his family becomes her saviors. They help her through her crisis and they all get on Brax for not getting her number. But once again her friends convince her to go back to the bar. This leads to them dating and Braz and his family saves her again due to the trouble her ex put her in. Nice romance and you know the Gallo's will never leave a lady in distress.
April 3, 2025
Brax and Iris' romance, nestled in the Gallo family dynamics, was a sweet, entertaining, generally low angst foray into this new world for Chelle Bliss. Building off of the humor that I expect from the Gallo family, Brax, like all of the Gallos from series past, love hard and love completely, making their romance totally swoony. The addition of conflict stemming from Iris' past added a little dimension to the story beyond the romance but wasn't too angsty. A wonderful read that promotes smiles galore!
April 7, 2025
This is Brax and Iris's love story. They both thought they needed a story. Yet, they both Wanted love . A blind date that went so right for these two. Iris was sitting alone waiting and waiting for a date that never shows. Brax sees her at the end of the bar. Needing to see her smile they start up flirting. Brax dosent believe in love at first sight but he feels it with Iris. With mother nature and family lots and lots of Gallos help these two really find their connection. More and more they find love in each other's lives. Finding something they needed and WANTED.

Brax and Iris’s story�
I do truly love that the Men of Inked series’s are following the whole Gallo family and you are getting to see where their lives have taken them.
Case in point with Brax. He is working at Hook & Hustle (the family bar on the Southside of Chicago) and he meets Iris.
I wish their story would have had a little more heat and more drama but� all in all, it was a fantastic quick read.
Now I have to go back and read the books I haven’t read in this world! Heck, I may start at the very beginning of it all! ;)

Iris sits at a bar for a blind date and gets stood up. Enter snowstorm to complicate everything and Brax Gallo to save the day. Brax is a true Gallo gentleman and makes sure Iris is safe for the night. Both try to deny the pull but that beautiful, meddling Gallo family makes sure they don’t deny it for long. Soon their histories collide and that “are you freaking kidding me� moment happens. Or should I say moments. A wonderful story but not a long spice. A good feel good read.
April 8, 2025
I absolutely loved Brax and Iris’s story!! Brax is amazing!! He is protective, sweet and soo hot. Iris just naturally fit into the Gallo family. Despite having a crappy past love life, Iris lets Brax mend her heart and in the process she settles the playboy down. Together these two burned up the pages. Chelle Bliss is always a must buy author for me but this addition to the series just knocked it out of the park.
April 9, 2025
I loved reading this story. This is book 2 in A Men of Inked Sinners. Braxton Gallo is the hero and Iris is the heroine. Brax is Tate's brother and we see all the Gallos. There is some suspense, lovely slow burn, sweetness and family dinners with everyone involved. Easy to read and nice character development. The epilouge was delightful. I am looking forward to reading the next story when it releases.
April 6, 2025
This is the second book in the Men Of Inked Sinners series. This is the second generation of the Chicago Gallos. They are stand alones.
This is Brax and Iris' story.
I love how these two met and their relationship evolved.
Iris gets stood up by a blind date at Hook and Hustle. The bar Brax owns.
She doesn't trust easily anymore. not after being left at the altar on her wedding day.
But Brax shows her that she can trust him. He proves it to her multiple times. Especially when she sleepwalks and when her ex comes back in the picture.
You gotta love how grandpa Gallo comes in for the rescue.
I absolutely loved their story.
These two are great.
Can't wait for Lulu's story next.
I do wish that we would have seen what Malakai did with the ex.

Who knew this chance encounter could turn out so well. Brax and Iris are the perfect blend of sweet and spicy.
Full of love, passion, and just a hint of suspense. This book will have you clinging to every page watching these two fall hard for each other. I was hooked from the start and loved every exquisite word.

I was left with all the warm and fuzzy feelings I didn't know I needed and didn't expect. I think it was the same for Brax and Iris. Not looking for it and not expecting it but - boom! - there it is! And it is huge. Their connection is almost immediate. It's so sweet and so electric!
I loved this book! I'm so happy and content right now. I think I might not be able to start another book just yet. I need to bask in this glow for a bit. Brax and Iris are awesome! And of course the whole huge Gallo family is there as well and I'm loving every minute of it.

Brax Gallo is not the type of man who wants a relationship but that changes when he meets Iris. Iris has had her heart broken and went to Hook and Hustle for a blind date. Brax is there and helps to protect her when a guy gets a little too handsy.

...And now we have a witty, sweet, sexy story.
Want is So Good! It drew me into a Gallo world filled with fun family antics, romance, and some tense drama.
Right from the start, Brax and Iris have a magnetic connection that I could feel.
They are just so cute and perfect together.
I love how Brax treats her, and Iris, who has her doubts, can't help but fall for him.
There is definite heat between these two (I will tell you that Iris's friends weren't the only ones to Google something to get an image) you'll see.😉
WANT may be Brax and Iris's story, but I love how we get the whole South Side Gallo family it's the perfect Happily ever after.

The Gallo men always find a way to steal your heart. And Brax is no different 😍 He is charming, swoony, sexy & protective. He got swept up with Iris from initially meeting her, and it just kept getting better & sweeter. Absolutely loved it!! Excited for the next book!

Oh Brax. I never thought he would fall. But then again i didnt see Iris in his path before either.
Chelle Bliss has done it again in creating a story that kept me from sleeping. Lol! I couldn’t put this down and wanted it to never end.

Oh I love this series but I think Brax just took over as my favorite. I love these characters. The banter is entertaining and as always I wish I were a Gallo. Iris is so good for Brax. I love the storyline and the drama. Amazing 5 star read. Couldn't put it down.

I love love love Bax and Iris' story. It was so sweet and sexy and just so easy between these two. They were def meant to be. Love the Gallo family as always. The funniest and most amazing bunch. Can't wait to read more!

Chelle Bliss you did it again! You wrote two wonderful characters that I fell in love with. So happy Brax got his HEA after a sad childhood. Iris is awesome. Loved seeing some of the old Gallo’s make their appearances. And I absolutely loved and laughed with Iris’s two friends.
