It's time for Stone Gallo to take centre stage, and guys you're in for a treat! As Stone like his dad Mike is one mushy, smooth talking, extremely protective hottie.

And I devoured his story.

As Stone first lays eyes on Opal when she is being verbally abused by her boyfriend Jeff after he gets a tattoo at Inked. And whilst Gigi is ready to step in and kick his butt. It's Stone who after just one glimpse at Opal steps in to save her.

Then Stone offers her a place to stay when he learns she doesn't have any money, her phone or a friend to call on. And from that moment on he's smitten. But circumstances including his Aunt Fran keep him from acting.

Until weeks later his cousin Gigi calls to say Opal is at Mammoth and Tamara's garage. But so is Jeff. So once again Stone steps in to protect her

And this time he's not letting her go. Besides his Aunt Fran, Gram, sister and cousins won't let him!

However, Jeff isn't quite done with Opal or Stone and the pair have a battle on their hands if they want to get the happy ever after they've been starting to dream off.

And with lots of familiar faces, humour, family feels, heat, and sweetness. Not to mention a little emotion. This was a brilliant addition to the series, and its a story and series I would happily recommend to all.

My thanks to Chelle Bliss and Valentine PR for the opportunity to read an early copy of Inferno. 😊
