5 star Review Hustle ( Men of Inked: Southside #4) by Chelle Bliss
I was certain that nobody could top Angelo Gallo but I have to say that Vinnie Gallo has certainly come close, in fact it may well be a tie.
Vinnie Gallo is a special man and it takes a unique woman to capture and hold his heart; Bianca Hernandez is just such a woman. Chosen as a first draft pick for his hometown team, Vinnie is living the dream, well if he could get rid of his stalker that is.
As soon as Hustle landed on my device, I dove in and did not come up until I had finished it. From the first chapter I was totally riveted, I really fell hard and fast, not only for Vinnie but Bianca as well. These two are meant to be together and the story that Ms.Bliss wove had me invested in their happily ever after from the start.
Both Vinnie and Bianca need assistance, as he is desperate to get a crazed stalker off his back, he and Bianca enter into an arrangement to help one another. She will help him by pretending to be his girlfriend, if he acts as a date for a family function. Nothing goes to plan for these two as neither want commitment. However, the chemistry between Vinnie and Bianca is so intense, they cannot ignore it.
I loved how confident, hot and swoon worthy Vinnie is and I particularly liked the determination, sassy and feistiness of Bianca. It was intriguing to read the interactions between Vinnie and Bianca and of course his crazy,interfering family are always outrageous (throw in Bianca’s grandmother who is almost as bad as his mum) and you know that there are going to be laughs, which adds another layer to the story. I also thoroughly enjoyed the way Ms.Bliss and Bianca made Vinnie really work for this happily ever after.
I love the Gallo family and when I start a new book it feels like I am coming home. They are all such great characters and Hustle is an awesome example of the love of family and what they will do for each other and those they care about. This was a hot, steamy story, full of emotions which will keep you on the edge of your seat.
I honestly thought Lucio was my favorite Gallo but Vinnie has knocked him out of the running. Everything Vinnie had dreamed for us coming true. A pro football player with an amazing team. But what he didn’t count on was a crazy stalker who just could take no for Dan answer. When he meets Bianca, he immediately attracted to her and when push comes to shove he might just need her help. Swearing off men isn’t a good thing. Especially when you’re trying to write a romance novel. But when she meets Vinnie, he’s a literal test of self control. I fell in love with this book from the moment I started reading it. I can guarantee you will absolutely love Vinnie and Bianca.
Vinnie is hot, brash and knows what he wants. He needs a girlfriend to protect his sanity and career. He asks his private neighbor Bianca to pretend to be his girl. Their relationship is hot and steamy and I loved everything about it. Great addition to the family.
Another Gallo man to love (& swoon & drool over)!
I loved both Vinnie and Bianca’s feistiness & stubbornness. They truly were made for each other. And she has just as crazy a family as he does!
My heart is so warm after reading this! It’s sweet & romantic and definitely spicy & sexy. Vinnie is now one of my favorite Gallo men!
I loved it!!!!
Damn! Every book Chelle writes is amazing! I LOVE Vinnie’s cockiness and strength. I absolutely adore how Bianca is a fiery independent woman. The two together are explosive. The Vinnies stalker in the story plot was realistic and easy to see happening. I just love the Gallos to pieces!
Vinnie has totally met his match in Bianca. I love strong fiery women as lead characters and she is independent and feisty and I kind of had a bit of a girl crush. She’s a romance writer and we are treated to some funny reenactments that left these two needing fresh underwear and they weren’t even naked! They took dry humping to the next level! Sports romance is definitely one of my favourite tropes and I loved how these two look like such an unlikely pair but just work. Also Bianca’s mother is hilarious, there were plenty of laugh out loud moments. Listening to this following Hook for sure lightened my mood. This book is much more upbeat and playful than Hook and it was the perfect thing for me. Two of my favourite narrators read this and Jason and Samantha killed it. For me these are narrator royalty and such a winning combo. Samantha gives us accents, insecurities and sass. Jason gives us the swoon 1000%. Another cracker of an audiobook.
Vinnie Gallo is known for playing the field both with women and on the football field. Vinnie has been drafted and is now trying to secure his role as Quarterback on the team. Moving into his penthouse is just the first step on that path but what he doesn’t plan for is his feisty neighbor Bianca Hernandez.
Bianca is a writer on a deadline and is grumpy at best when she first meets Vinnie. When Vinnie comes to Bianca with a request for help, Bianca has a need for a favor as well. Vinnie has a stalker who just so happens to be the team owner’s Granddaughter. He needs a pretend girlfriend and Bianca fits that need. Bianca comes from a family who wants her happy, but her Mother believes she needs to be set up which is how Vinnie comes into the picture. Feelings quickly arise though when Bianca and Vinnie spend more time together and Vinnie has no doubt in his mind that Bianca is his girl, now he just needs t convince her.
This was a lot of fun. I had wondered what Vinnie’s story would entail as he is such a randy player in previous books and his story did not disappoint. Bianca is great and I liked the cultural differences between the family dynamics, it just made the story more delightful. Terrific read.
Sexy! I’ve volunteered to review this book for the author. I love to read Chelle Bliss stories! This is the fourth book in the Men of Inked: Southside. This is Vinnie and Bianca story. Vinnie has it all looks, charisma, physique, fame and money. Bianca is a romance author with a string of very bad relationships. Their chemistry is off the charts HOT and will set your kindle on fire. From the first chapter their connection was amazing. You will be drawn into the book just like me. I couldn’t put it down at ALL! I can never get enough of the Gallo family. I can’t wait to see what else Chelle will one up with. Keep up the amazing work! I HIGHLY recommend this series to EVERYONE!!!!
I devoured the first three books in this series but wasn’t to interested in reading Vinnie’s story. He came across as such a narcissistic douche-canoe in the prior books. But I couldn’t resist spending more time with this Gallo family. Glad I did.
Vinnie totally redeemed himself. All these books left me feeling good and boy are these guys gems.
Fabulous read! Chelle Bliss brings characters to life!
Oh my!! I loved this book! I was hoping there was going to be a Vinnie book and I love that the girl (Bianca) he was falling for was also a great romance writer! I was so glad to read that Vinnie, who was drafted in the first round for the NFL and plays for Chicago, was finally going to stop being a playboy and settle down!
But, first he had to get the psycho owner’s granddaughter away from him and Bianca. She was a girl that has been stalking Vinnie for over a year and she took it a step too far when they got back from their mini vacation and “WHORE” was spray painted all over Bianca’s car. Well, of course Vinnie was not going to have that and took matters into his own hands. He even told his coach and the owner to trade him and when they said they would not, he said he would quit the team unless the crazy girl was taken care of. So the owner agreed to send her to a mental institution in another country, because he wanted Vinnie to stay since he was going to be the starting quarterback and they were building the team around him.
But the best part…..he said he would have to talk it over with his girl before he agreed to anything! I just melted! He went from a player to a man that was falling in love!
(Review for the audiobook version) I really loved this audiobook. I love everything Chelle does. And omg Jason Clarke and Samara Naeymi did such an amazing job with this one. Jason Clarke had me swooning hard as Vinnie. His voice is so deep and perfect. And I love Samara’s voice, she does such an amazing job with the male characters. And it’s crazy hot! A serious eargasm! This story is so, so, so good! I devoured this one up so quick! I had to keep listening, the anticipation was killing me. It’s seriously worth listening to!
OMG Vinnie and Bianca story was sizzling HOT from start to finish. Vinnie is rookie footballer and Bianca Romance author, The banter back and forth between them so funny also sets off some really steamy moments. ONE-CLICK NOW.
Vinnie is the youngest Gallo brother and living his dream of being in the NFL. Bianca is his neighbor and they get off to a rough start. After he gets a female stalker, he makes an arrangement with Bianca for her to pretend to be his girlfriend and he will escort her to some of her family functions. The only problem is that actual attraction and feelings being to develop between them. This is a hot, sexy read with all kinds of awesomeness.
Chelle writes alphas like no other author can! She has what goes on inside a guy’s head down to a science. Her alphas are everything a good alpha book boyfriend should be, sexy, cocky, funny, sweet, and above all else…they love their women fiercely. Except, it didn’t start that way with poor Vinnie. I think he met his match with Bianca. She is feisty and sassy and hides her attraction of Vinnie well. I think I like her female leads just as much as her alphas. Not one is a wilting wallflower, and with the Gallos, they can’t be. This family, and Vinnie in particular, make reading fun. Hustle has the right amount of heat, the right amount of drama, and the right amount of swoon worthy Vinnie that I think he is my new favorite Gallo.
This is the fourth book in the Men of Inked: Southside Series. Every book in this series has become my new favorite book and this one is the same. Chelle has rocked this series from book one. I was so excited to read Vinnie’s book because I knew it was going to take an extraordinary woman to “lock that shit down” lol!! Bianca far exceeded my expectations. These two scorched the pages even with dry humping, lmao!! And Bianca’s grandmother, let’s just say I want her in my life! LOVED THIS BOOK!!!
Vinnie and Bianca are perfect together! I loved the building of this relationship so much. All of Vinnie’s cockiness and all of Bianca’s attitude, as well as her insecurities, just made me fall for them fast.
Chelle Bliss just keeps making this entire family so much more fun. Add in the Hernadez family and she kicked a touchdown!
Then there was the psycho they had to deal with. Man did she make it interesting. I loved how Bianca took her down a peg.
Now I am anticipating Love. I am anxious to see how they all get into mischief and I am dying for a wedding. 🙂
Great job Chelle! Keep them coming!
“It’s the Vinnie Gallo effect, and I am swept up in it.”
This is the fourth book in Inked: Southside series. This is Vinnie Gallos story. It is a stand alone, but each book has been outstanding. So you’re missing out if you skip them!
Vinnie was drafted by his hometown team. He’s trying to prove he can be their starting quarterback.
One thing isn’t helping him and that’s the owners granddaughter. This chick is white-padded walls and straight jacket crazy! Beyond a stage 5 clinger. And he never did anything with her!
Maybe a fake girlfriend will help?
But what happens when you really aren’t faking it?
Bianca is Vinnie’s new neighbor. She lets him have her full attitude and doesn’t give into him, at all. He has to work for her. She challenges him at every turn and I love it!
Bianca’s abuela is awesome.
“Don’t let fear stop you from happiness. Broken hearts just propel us down our destined path until our souls find where they’re meant to be.”
I do hope Bianca’s two brothers get books of their own now! I loved them.
Can’t wait for the next book!
Hustle is book 4 of the Men of Inked: Southside series. Vinnie and Bianca are destined to be together. This story was filled with hot sexy scenes and a lot of fun! I loved Abuela!! Can’t wait for the next one!
Aww our Baby Gallo has found his match!! The chemistry between Vinnie and Bianca is off the charts! I’m so glad Bianca’s a down to Earth, take no crap, independent woman and not one of his usual Saturday night specials (not that Chelle would give us a floozy of a heroine). She definitely gives him a run for his money and he steps up to the plate. Vinnie is absolutely adorable as he falls for Bianca! He’s secretly a giant teddy bear.
