The moment I looked into his eyes, I knew I was in trouble.

The second I heard his name, I knew I should stay away.

Our fathers were mortal enemies—Chicago crime bosses from rival families.

But that didn’t stop Leo Conti from pursuing me.

Being together was dangerous, reckless, and totally hot.

He wanted me. I wanted him.

Nothing could possibly go wrong, right?

My Thoughts:

Daphne Gallo has an interesting family. Most of the time when I read a book that has alternating persons the chapters also alternate to reflect that. Our author though doesn’t do the expected. We get Daphne’s impressions first. Then once we get enough information, the author then gives us the opportunity to get Leo Conti’s point of view. He’s a man who doesn’t give up when he wants something.

This is the second book about a member of the Gallo family. You don’t need to know Lucio’s story in order to enjoy this one. But after reading Daphne’s interaction with her dad you may wonder what you missed. The good news is that this is only the second book in the series so you haven’t missed much. We also get to meet the younger Gallo brother. I loved his interactions with his older sister.

Don’t get me wrong I really liked this story but I felt it leaned more toward the Gallo family then the interactions between Daphne and Leo. I liked to see that our author created a good friend, Michelle, who seemed to be the voice of reason when Daphne needed it. But she also had the finger wave when she needed to. Most of all she will fight for Daphne’s happiness. One of the times I finally see Leo he is very adamant about is what he feels.

Our author gives the reader a real sense of family. Good, bad, or indifferent you can feel the love the Gallo’s have for each other. It had me remembering what our family was like when I was a kid. One thing that became important was mealtime because for the most part is was the time when we were all together. This was a story where I felt that I had to fill in the blanks because I got a surprise that I wasn’t expecting. But I had no trouble seeing the romance in the story – the love may have been a little harder to see but the romance shown through. It had me thinking of a contemporary Romeo and Juliet – as far as the family feud goes. And the difference between these families is that this story comes with a happy ending. In the next instant we’re left at the top of a cliff hanging on by a thread. Where will we go from here?

He’s death for hire…
Some people measure life in hours. Days. Weeks. I measure mine in kills. A covert military mission gone wrong robbed me of my memory and any link to my past. This is my existence now.

Bare Naked Words Presents: Maneuver by Chelle Bliss; #BlogTour, #ReleaseBlitz, #NowAvailable, #OutNow, #Live, #Review

Maneuver
by Chelle Bliss
Man Of Ink: Southside Series, #1
Release date: 31st July
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Rating: 5 Stars
Told in the first person. Alternating persons.

The Gallo's are back in this new standalone release

Synopsis:

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 guy.

Down on her luck single mother.

I mean, who wouldn’t be wary?

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.

Your perfect poolside accompaniment

My Thoughts:

Delilah Miles finds himself in quite the predicament. I like how strong our author made her I hope if I were in her position that I would be that strong. Lucio Gallo has an interesting family. His mother Betty is one hot ticket. His siblings are a trip and a half. Having the Gallo family in Delilah’s world seems to be fate. And it must have been fate that I happened to have this book to read.

Our author shows that money isn’t everything – it can’t make you a better person, it doesn’t buy you love, and it doesn’t always make you happy. Delilah is one smart woman because she rises above her family life and finds something better. We can’t always make assumptions based on where a person resides.

The visuals with this book are both cute and hot. Lucio is one thing that helps with those visuals – small spoiler alert he likes kids. There’s nothing bad that I can say about this book. Right from the beginning Lucio is a very likable man who seems to have a heart of gold. Make no mistake; he’s also very bad. Delilah seems to be at the right place at the right time. The whole Gallo clan seems to be there too but Lucio’s siblings seem to like to tease – you’ll get a few chuckles out of that.

As I was getting this review ready, I found that I missed at least one book and that is titled The Gallos. Before I get ready for the next book in this Southside series, which is an offshoot of the Men In Ink series, I need to read that novella first. I’m not saying you have to but I want to see if it gives me a little family background. But then I also have to read the rest of the Men In Ink so I think I’m going to be busy for quite a while.
