This isn’t how fairy tales typically begin, but it’s where mine starts…No money, no phone, and abandoned on the streets of Chicago. With my baby in my arms, I wander into a bar in a shady neighborhood and ask to use their phone.When my father turns us away and completely disowns me, the bar owner, and total hottie, offers us a place to stay…no strings attached.I’m leery at first.Hot alpha … attached.
I’m leery at first.
Hot alpha guy.
Down on her luck single mother.
I mean, who wouldn’t be?
Lucio Gallo isn’t like most men, though. He’s fiercely protective, loyal, and did I mention he’s covered in nothing but muscle?
Above all else, he’s everything I need but never knew I wanted.

Title: Maneuver Men of Inked Southside 1
Author: Chelle Bliss
Publication Date: July 31, 2018
I put off reading this because I was in a reading slump; should have known Chelle would have lifted me out real quick.
Great storyline with wonderful characters and flow. Who doesn’t love big Italian families that love so freely and welcome people with open hearts and arms; the Gallos are the kind of family I love to read about.
4 Stars
Oh SNAP! Did someone say more Gallos? Yes please! Lucio Gallo is everything that comes with the name…loyal, protective, hot AF and all Alpha male. So when single mother Delilah ends up in his bar, something inside him stirs. These two have hella chemistry, and add in momma Gallo working her magic…instalove! I’m loving this new Gallo series and can’t wait for Daphne’s book!

Men of Inked: Southside is off to a fantastic start with Maneuver, I could not put it down. The Gallo family is new to me, since this is only the second book that I have read by Chelle Bliss, but I have a remedy for that. Since I haven’t read Men on Inked and this series is a spin-off from that, I guess I need to start from the first book and keep reading.
Lucio and Delilah meet under stressful circumstances, her rich drunk dad just left her and her baby Lulu in a shady section of Chicago without a phone, money of anything. She has no choice but to find a phone to call someone to come for her. She wanders into a bar that just happens to belong to the Gallo family and Lucio quickly takes responsibility for her and her precious baby. Delilah needs to thank her lucky stars that her dad threw her out near the Hook & Hustle bar, because this family treats her better than her family ever has.
I loved this book and the characters, and cannot wait to read more!
Love all her books! So happy to see she is expanding on the Men of Inked books!
A great pairing of two people from opposite backgrounds. Delilah, coming from money, is cut off from her dad in the shadiest part of town. Stumbling upon Lucio Gallo ends up being the best thing to ever happen to her and her baby girl. What an amazing man Lucio is. Love the family. Can’t wait to meet more of the Gallo’s.
Amazing book!!!! Not what expected and hooked from the beginning to the end!
Enjoyed both of theses audio books. Maneuver is my favorite of the two. Both have the signature steam, parts of the Southside Gallo saga. Have to say Betty has way more stamina and patience then I would ever have. Enjoyed the drama and interactions of Lucio and Delilah. Daphne and Leo, have a good story. Both were good listens, romance, steam and story, can’t ask for much more.
Not sure why I took so long to read the Southside. Lucio and Delilah were so cute together. An instant meet, insta love with baby Lulu thrown in. Great cast of characters.
I really loved this book, but I didn’t read the whole series. Very good
Read the whole series loved them all
so sexy. Love a man who loves kids.
Easy Sunday read. Liked the characters, no cliff hanger ending so you could stop at this or read the others.
I read all the books in the series and enjoyed each one.
This has a nice steamy story with a great guy and a sweet girl.
