Love by Chelle Bliss is book 5 in the Men of Inked: Southside Series. This continues the story of Tilly Carter and Angelo Gallo, their story started in Hooked book three. This covers their wedding and does bring back former characters that was a joy to catch up with them. I did feel with this author’s writing you could make this a standalone if you wish to do so. I enjoyed their story in Hooked and was so happy that this book added to their story and that it helped to wrap up their story.
This book had everything, hot scene, fun scene and family interactions. Loved it and this series.
Love how it starts with the brothers Angelo, Lucio, Vinnie & Leo ( brother-inlaw ) sitting around talking thern the cousins Joe, Mike Thomas, Anthony,Morgan and James come to join them and find out what they want to to do for a bachelor party. then the girls : Tilly, Daphne, Bianca, Delilah doing the same except at another location then Mia, Max, Izzy, Race, Angel & Suzy join and talk about the bachelorette party. A love the story line and how Chelle brings all the characters in this and at one part it brought tears to my eyes and I love how it ends. I recommend this book!!!!!
OMG WOW!! This book has everything!!!!This is positively the perfect wrap up/end to this amazing series and the wonderful men and women of the Gallo families!!! Even though this was technically a book about Angelo & Tilly, I feel it was about everyone in the family and that is what made it so fantastic!! The love, loyalty and respect that all of these people have for each other while still busting each other’s beans on the regular, is everything family is about. I felt so many different emotions reading this! I love that both the Chicago & Florida Gallos are brought together for this amazing story it was great to catch up on everyone!!! I felt like I was at a family reunion and never wanted it to end! I absolutely love and adore Angelo & Tilly so much in their book when they meet and fall in love, but this story, well I was so incredibly emotionally satisfied that my heart was filled to bursting!!!! I love their sexy times as well as well as the sexy antics we get from everyone on their interesting adventure! I love the extra good stuff we get from Vinnie and Bianca too!!! Angelo’s amazing children gutted me, and those letters, well they just about ruined me! This is an absolute must read!!
Here comes the bride, the groom and the rest of the Gallo family for Angelo’s nuptials with this final book of the Men of Inked: Southside series. Ms. Bliss saved the best for last with this heartwarming and emotional read for her readers. Neither Angelo nor Tilly thought that they would find love again but fate had something else in mind by bringing these two together. The love that is felt by all of the members of the Gallo family and now extended to embrace Tilly is felt as each page is turned showing the true meaning of family. Not only does the reader get a look into more of Angelo and Tilly but the author gives up other sides of the rest of the Gallo clan and showing off some of the edgier antics that they engage in. Filled with humor and steam, this is one family reunion that is not to be missed!
I volunteered to read an advance copy of this book and all opinions are my own.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding meets My Big Italian Gallos! Love! Men of Inked: Southside #5, is about Angelo and Tilly’s wedding day. This story brings the entire family home to Chicago and I LOVED it!
Angelo and Tilly’s story was one of my first reads in this series, so they are near and dear to my heart. Their chemistry and love between each couple is off the charts! What really pulled me in is Chelle Bliss brought the entire family into this book. The banter, the cousins and the sibling’s relationship make this a superb read. Chelle Bliss nails the writing from the little details to the big ones. Even though the story is short, it is perfect. You do not notice the length at all.
Each of these books brings their own little identity and this one was freaking HOT! Get to that one scene and you will understand 😉 I loved reading about all of the Gallo’s in this book. I wanna be a Gallo.
a perfect ending to this great story. This is Angelo and Tilly’s wedding. Loved that we get to see the Florida family.
Love is the 5th book in the Men of Inked: Southside Series.
This is Angelo and Tilly’s getting married story. Love has all the Gallo’s portrayed in this book!

This series is a must read. You need to read about “The Gallo’s and all their glory! This huge family is full of big time love!
What was great with Love: Southside is that we get to see the whole family the family that I loved in Men of Ink (Chicago Gallo’s) and Men of Inked: Southside (Florida side of the Gallo’s). It was like visiting
And once you become a Gallo you are family! Whether you live in Chicago or Florida.
A truly enjoyable book to read and lose some time in. 5 + stars!

5 Stars
Oh how I want to be a part of the Gallo family! This loud, crazy and chaotic bunch has wound their way into my heart and I love them like crazy. I absolutely adored seeing the whole group together again. This book is more than just about Angelo and Tilly’s wedding; it’s all about the love this crazy family has not only for each other, but really shows how true love between two people is supposed to be. This is just one of those feel good stories that make your heart swoon. I can’t wait for the next generation. Bring on Gigi’s story!

Love is book number 5 from Men Of Inked: Southside. This story is about Tilly and Angelo, it tells there Happily Ever After in my opinion. Love is about there wedding and where they invite all the Gallos and of course former characters from Men Of Inked (Florida family).
I cant say Southside couldn’t have ended any other better way because it was amazing there was so much love in this book from all sides of the family. Also, for Tilly who didn’t have no one until she married into the Gallo family.
The Author did amazing job once again.
Chelle Bliss never disappoints. The Southside Gallos have been some of my favorite characters. To get a fifth book to celebrate Angelo and Tillie’s wedding was such a gift. To have the family all together to help them celebrate was amazing. Visiting again with City, James, Izzy, Bear, Thomas and Mike – the whole Gallo gang. To learn that a new generation of Gallos is coming soon makes me so happy.
LOVE (Men of Inked Southside Book 5) By Chelle Bliss
What a read this is! This is an exceptionally satisfying, great finale for the Men of Inked Southside! This is Angelo and Tilly’s wedding with the Southside Gallos and the Florida Gallos coming together to celebrate. The Gallo reunion is everything you would expect, the banter is flowing freely, emotional, sexual chemistry on fire, the angst is also free flowing for City & Suzy as their girls are growing up with their oldest, Gigi getting ready to date. The cousins are having a great time as the bachelor/bachelorette parties go to full swing. I am anxiously awaiting the books that are coming about the younger Gallos. It would be more than 5 stars if possible. Chelle Bliss is absolutely amazing with her talent!
I absolutely love the Gallo Family. This book has everything. It just captured my heart. I loved Angelo and Tilly in Hook and I was so happy to see them again. And to bring the entire family from all the men of inked books, that I have been in love with since the beginning in Throttle Me. I listened to the audiobook for this one and the narrators, Lance Greenfield and Samantha Brentmoor, did so many characters voices so well. It just blended perfectly from one character to the next and came right back to Angelo and Tilly. They did a spectacular job bringing Chelle’s story to life. So many heartfelt moments that completely had me balling my eyes out. The steam is off the charts. Angelo and Tilly experimented in something different and it had me salivating. I mean, no words can describe it. And this entire family always has me cracking up. I just loved this book, it gave me all the feels.
If you LOVE the Gallos and all things Gallo, this is a gift from Chelle Bliss to all her readers. Angelo and Tilly’s HEA, complete with siblings & partners, cousins & partners, aunts, uncles, kids and extended family. I loved a glimpse of everyone’s lives, I wish we had more…more LOVE. Fan’s of the Gallo’s will LOVE this book and we all thank Chelle for her gift.
The final Men Of Inked book by the lovely Chelle Bliss is now live! (Also in AUDIO)
Love (Men of Inked: Southside #5) is a continuation of Angelo and Tilly’s story from Hook, they are finally getting married. Angelo and Tilly have both had heartache in their lives, the only difference is that Angelo had a big family to help him get through it. Tilly only had Roger who has been a constant in her life, always there for her and now he is losing her to Angelo. But not so quick, with this big family you do not have to be blood, you just have to be family and they welcome Roger in, which made me shed a few tears. Poor Tilly she is overwhelmed by the number of people in this family, I mean you have the Gallos from Southside and the Gallos from Florida, that’s a whole lot of family. When you add Izzy and Daphne in together, look for fun or trouble or both!
This book was the best yet, with all the family members together you cannot help but have love, romance, passion, laughter, and fun.
Ms. Bliss out did herself with this final book of the Southside Gallos.
Angelo & Tilly’s story in Hook brought a few tears to the readers but in Love, we get to cry happy ones now.
Plus the whole gang is here. The banter between family is one of the best but you can also feel the emotions come off the pages while reading.
Another amazing series in the books for this author and I can’t wait to see what she brings next to the table
Tilly & Angelo belong together. When you become a Gallo you become part of a family that is tight and believes in sticking together. I love seeing these two become one & all the family being there. It’s the perfect ending for a series, although I’d love to read more about this family.
If I could give this book 10 stars I would! This was the perfect ending to and era whether it be the Florida Gallos or the South Side Gallos! I have loved the Gallo’s from the very first book and I don’t think the ending could’ve been better!
I love that we get to go back and see Tilly and Angelo! They’re book was absolutely amazing with all the feels so to see their wedding was the cheery on top. I FLOVED seeing the dynamic between the two Gallo families and the banter we miss from the original Gallo group! I know Gigi is next and we really get a good introduction to her and I’m DYING for that book. She’s so feisty!
To say this book is a must read is an understatement! If you love the Gallo’s then this book will just fill your heart up!
Favorite Quotes:
“First stop is Gavin’s for some martinis, then we have tickets to a show,” Daphne says over her shoulder. “What kind of show?” My stomach flips a little because Daphne’s looking at me in such a way that I know she isn’t telling me everything. “It’s like the ballet.” “Like the ballet?” I ask flatly. She nods quickly and hooks her arm with mine, leading me toward the sleek black limo. “There’re men dancing.”
I feel like I’m stuck somewhere in the naughtiest Twilight Zone episode, where all my relatives are freaks, and I suddenly realize I am too.
“We grew up. $* isn’t all it’s cracked up to be either,” Thomas says. “Have kids, they said. It’ll be fun, they said. Biggest lie ever.”
“I’m not listening,” Gigi sings into her phone screen. “This is way too much information and oversharing from all of you, not to mention gross and the things nightmares of made of.”
It’s not all tight bodies, big tits, and hot guys. This is Florida. You have a better chance of seeing an old man with a beer gut wearing a Speedo on the beach than some hot young thing.

My Review:
I adore Chelle Bliss and her lively and close-knit Gallo clan, they are large, loud, and love each other hard. The men are gorgeous and bossy yet tender-hearted alpha males while the women are as feisty as they are lovely to look at. Written in my favorite dual POV, the smirk-worthy storylines were engaging, quickly paced, easy to follow, deliciously steamy, and laced together with highly amusing and irreverent levity.
This is the continuation of Angelo and Tilly’s story from Hook (Book 3) but it also involves all the Gallos. The family is gathering for the wedding and Tilly is feeling overwhelmed and doesn’t know what to do about it. Angelo knows something is wrong with Tilly. She has a talk with her sisters in laws about how they met their husbands and begins to feel better about things. The Gallo family is what you want to be a part of and how you want family to act. This was such a great ending to this series. I loved every Gallo book and am sorry to see them go.
