I have been addicted to Chelle Bliss since her first book in her first Men of Inked series and I haven’t been able to pass one up since. This book is another example of why I can’t pass up her work. I have loved getting each siblings story and am always eager for the next and especially since you get a bit of the character with each book. Needless to say I have been waiting anxiously for Vinnie’s story.
Vinnie is a rookie on the team and is having a bit of a problem that is putting his career in jeopardy. He comes up with a plan to involve the neighbor he met in his new building, the problem??? She doesn’t seem to like him or want anything to do with him. He loves her feisty personality and that she isn’t like all the other women he has had come and go in his life.
Bianca decided to take a break from men and hopefully all distractions that they bring. She has to focus on her career and she knows after their brief meeting that Vinnie just that…a distraction. She tries her best to avoid him but maybe they can help each other out?? The problem??? He isn’t like what she expected. He may have been known as a playboy but maybe things have changed. He is sweet, caring and understanding and she finds it hard to resist him.
I really hope we get more from this branch of the Gallos. I am going to be sad to read their last book because I always get attached to Chelle’s characters. This was another great read and if you haven’t read the others in the series you will still love this book and not feel lost at all.
Be still my beating heart! Vinny Gallo, a football QB for his hometown, and Bianca a romance writer. Both occupy condos on the same floor. Bianca thinks Vinney is like all the other players in the world, and Vinny is taken back by her smart mouth, and attitude. When crazy stalker Tracy try’s to turn up the heat Vinny does everything he can to stay clear! Insert foot in mouth and now he must convince Bianca who has sworne off men to help him out. What started as a deal to help both out with work and family becomes so much more. Can Vinny change his playboy ways and convince Bianca that he is the man for her? Or will this all come crashing down!
Hold on to your seats because Vinny will steal your heart ladies!
Just when you thought the Gallo’s from Chicago couldn’t get any hotter, you give us the baby Vinnie’s story! Swoon…. Not only is he a legend in his own mind and in the minds of all his conquests, but he’s a Chicago Bear…huge points in my book. He and Bianca are well written, compelling characters, their chemistry is hot, and I love her sass and his determination to break down her walls. I love the great big extended families…a fantastic addition to Men of Ink: Southside.
I am voluntarily reviewing an Advance Reader Copy of this book
Vinnie and Bianca’s story was a perfect “ending” to meeting all of the Gallo’s in this series. Who knew the youngest one would have such charm and charisma. He did learn from the best by observing everything his father and brothers did with business and the ladies though. I do love that Chelle wrote Bianca as a strong and successful woman. She didn’t take anyone’s crap, especially from her family. They may have wanted to protect her but she knew it wasn’t necessary with Vinnie. I’m glad that by the end they had their families meet and I LOVE how this story ended. I don’t want to spoil anything but I think Vinnie may turn out to be an all around ladies man by having everyone wrapped around his finger.
Thanks, Chelle, for giving us a hot and successful football player to fantasize about while we read about him reading Bianca’s books. I seriously can’t wait to read more about this family especially if there is a book about Santino and Betty.
Hustle is what you would call a opposites attract story. On one side you have Vinnie with all of his charm and Bianca on the other thinking she can resist. Believing she doesn’t need a man to complete her, she soon finds out just how persistent a Gallo can be. I loved reading Bianca and Vinnie’s story and look forward to the next book in the Gallos family.
Seriously Enjoyable Read!
Vinnie Gallo is Chicago’s brightest new star on the field, recently drafted and hungry for a starting Quarterback position. He’s a player both on and off the field, with no time for romantic involvements, and he likes it that way. Bianca Hernandez AKA Bianca May is a hot romance author who writes books as dirty as they come. Vinnie finds himself the object of a team stalker’s attention and needs a plus 1 to convince everyone he is taken and protect his image. Bianca’s mother is insisting she bring a date to her parent’s anniversary party. They agree to help one another out, but it is just an end to a means, right?
Each time I think to myself” oh, this character is my favorite”, Chelle describes a new ultimately yummy man for me to fantasize over! I love the family’s sense of humor, the comradery among the siblings, and the inevitable hilarity that ensues whenever they get together. For all the ball busting they do, it is clear that they are close knit and love one another. The Hernandez family has a lot in common with the Gallo’s and it is highly entertaining to see them come together. Vinnie & Bianca’s chemistry is smoking hot! I love, love, love how the author has incorporated the idea of a romance writer’s work being (VERY) influential in a relationship- it’s sexy, fun, and so right on! I cannot get enough of the Gallo’s! As Bianca says: It’s the Gallo effect, and I am swept up in it.”
I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for an enjoyable, light hearted – sexy as sin-read. Oh, and anyone who is a fan of loud, too in your business, real as can be families will absolutely love this book!
This was a hot sexy funny read about Vinnie and Bianca. Loved their interaction and banter. The twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat. I couldn’t stop reading until I finished this sexy amazing wonderful story. We finally get Vinnie’s story and he definitely met his match in Bianca. The sexy times were super hot. Loved this amazing story and this was an awesome addition to the Gallo series. Can’t wait to read more by Chelle Bliss
The Gallo Boys as always are the best and Vinnie Gallo was no surprise. Chelle is master storyteller and this book is just wickedly awesome. Vinnie is a playboy first round draft quarterback for Chicago. Moving into his penthouse loft he meets his neighbor Bianca a beautiful famous successful Romance writer and the sparks fly. This is their story where fate, family, fun, friendships, Fantasy, and football. The perfect storm and a five star read.
Hot! Hot! Hot!
Vinnie and Bianca start out as neighbors helping each other to one scorching hot couple. They are just combustible together. Let’s just say, I’m jealous of a fictional character! Vinnie is super potent. And the families….well, we all know and love the Gallos but Bianca’s gran…..let’s just say, she fits right in! A definite must read!
While I found the story to be anticlimactic, I still very much enjoyed it. I adored Vinnie. He and Bianca had great chemistry.
This is a football/opposites attract romance. Vinnie is a player. He’s cocky and confident, never having any issues getting any girl he wants…until he meets Bianca. Bianca is his new neighbor who isn’t so crazy about Vinnie. Bianca is a romance author. She is staying focused on her career and due to some negative experiences with men, she has sworn them off. This is a new concept for Vinnie. He finds Bianca sexy as hell and loves her fiery attitude. When they meet, sparks fly! There’s no denying they have chemistry. There are also laugh out loud moments that keep you entertained.
I enjoyed this story from start to finish. The steam level was high! Get ready to become addicted to yet another Gallo! I highly recommend this entertaining sports romance.

I absolutely loved Vinnie and Bianca. Their story was supposed hot. I loved seeing Vinnie change from playboy football god to a man that was completely smitten by a girl that in the beginning wouldn’t even look at him twice. She truly made him work for it and that made it all the sweeter. I just couldn’t get enough of them and I just devoured this book in one sitting.
Of course it’s always fun to see the characters from the other books. Especially Betty…that’s a special woman right there.
Definitely one of my top favorites from Chelle.
Yes I finally got my hands on Vinnie and I absolutely loved his book!!! I just knew when he found that one special woman she would bring him to his knees. And Bianca done just that to the playboy. And I loved every single moment of it. But she had swore men off for a bit she was so over being heartbroken by picking only the wrong men. So Vinnie really had to chase her and he is used to women falling at his feet for him. So it was funny to see him have to chase. I love Chelle Bliss’ writing and this family and I didn’t want it to end and I’m so happy that there will be more. I could read book after book after book of this family and be happy!! I highly highly recommend this book and this entire series!!!! 5 Stars isn’t enough for this book!!!! – By Tina
Absolutely adored Vinnie and Bianca.
Loved the storyline and connection between them.
They were so meant for each other.
Abuela was right in saying he was the one for Bianca.
Wonderful book, wonderful series.
Love is already pre-booked and I can’t wait.
I absolutely love the Gallos
Hot! A great addition to the Men of Inked series!
The Gallo family just keeps getting better. I am not sure how Chelle does it! I absolutely loved Vinnie and Bianca’s story. Of course with any Gallo you get a hot sexy cocky of a man and Vinnie does not dissapoint. This is a great story with just the right amount of love, sex and drama that isn’t overly done. This is a must read even if you haven’t read any of the other books. But then you are crazy not to read them all 🙂 they are all fantastic books!
You know what they say, the bigger they are the harder they fall. And boy does the supremely sexy, and surprisingly sweet, Vinnie fall hard for his Bianca. This is a gentle, funny and incredibly hot story, both main characters are incredibly likeable and the story is really entertaining.
Whilst there isn’t any forced or unnecessary angst between the couple, there are external factors that add shade into the mix. A good blend of sub-plots give the story depth and help keep you reading, whilst the chemistry between Vinnie and Bianca adds spice to the creation.
I just found this such an easy book to read, the writing flows smoothly and the characters felt believable, as does the plot. Whilst it isn’t an edge-of-your-seat read, at no point is it bland or boring either. It’s definitely a must read for both Chelle Bliss fans, but also those who love a well written contemporary romance.
Vinnie is awesome, him and Bianca are just amazing together, I seriously loved them.
Vinnie is sweet, sexy as hell, totally alpha and just perfect and Bianca, she is fierce, stubborn and smart, she’s pretty cool, loved their story, it was just freaking awesome!!
Vinnie is living his dreams by finally getting to play in the NFL. Although he gets to play in the NFL there is one drawback to all of this. Vinnie meets his new neighbor but they don’t hit it off so well. Bianca is a writer and doesn’t take to well to her new neighbor. They both find themselves in a bind and need some help but they aren’t ready for instant chemistry and fire they have between them. Will they both be ready to lay it out on the line for one another?
I loved Vinnie and Bianca’s story and their characters pulled me in. I loved how they both stood their own with each other. Vinnie was use to a certain type and Bianca wasn’t that type just give in to each other and spoke her mind. I also loved how Vinnie brought out another side to Bianca. This book was everything I was looking for.
Here she gives us yet another one that delves into a relationship that gives us what we crave. She does it with characters that are familiar and or want to know better with this one being another one in this series. I fall deeper and deeper into this world with each one. Vinnie is a football player so not being alot into sports I had it harder to get a feel for this character but he is one that does like contact sports it would seem also lol. Then there is Bianca whom thinks she can resist but since it goes beyond simple it was fun to see it go down. One of the refreshing things on this one is the sprinkle of humor in this one too. Since he is the one with road blocks you get to see how they take care of them. Bottom line this is one that has all the good stuff you want in a read.
