About this audiobook

MANEUVER

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? 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.

FLOW

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 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.

What could possibly go wrong?

Ratings and reviews

I loved this boxed set of Men of Inked: Southside. This set contains: Maneuver : Lance Greenfield and Erin Mallon did a great hob narrating. Omg I’m so happy to be back with the Gallo’s and I was so excited that the part of the family from Chicago are getting their own series and let me tell you Chelle Bliss did not disappoint with book one in her new Men of Inked: Southside series if this book is anything to go by this series is shaping up to blow our minds......... Lucio Gallo meets Delilah when she stumbles into his bar with her baby and nothing but the clothes she is standing in and like all the Gallo’s we have meet before this is where Lucio steps up and shows Delilah that there are men out there who will help in anyway they can. Delilah’s ex left her when he found out she was pregnant and up til now she has been living with her acholic father but the night she stumbles into the Gallo’s bar is the night her life is about to change for the better..... I love this family in fact with every book I read I feel closer and closer to the family where loyalty is the number one rule they all live by. Flow: Wen Ross and Kai Kennicott really brought the story to life with their narration. I was so happy to be back with the Gallo gang but this book is a bit different this time we meet a strong sassy Gallo woman named Daphne and I love her, this book was everything I have come to expect from Chelle Bliss and more it captivated me it took over and I never wanted it to end. A lot of expectations go with the Gallo name and that means love doesn’t always run smoothly more so if you happen to fall for a rival crime families son. Leo and Daphne may come from families that hate each other but both have moved on and they won’t let their surnames dictate their future but will the families allow them to have the relationship they deserve....... A fast paced love story with plenty of twists and turns, Flow will certainly draw you in and keep you hooked right up to the very last line. Forbidden love lots of great characters with sizzling chemistry and some visits from some old favourites from previous books what more could you ask for. Chelle Bliss shows us once again why she is a go to author for so many of us and I’m so looking forward to book 3 in the Men of Inked: Southside Series.

Two Gallos in one download! Bargain! Maneuver wasn’t the story I expected going into it. I wasn’t too hyped up after reading the blurb about a woman abandoned with her baby. You might ask why did I listen, well it is a Gallo story. And I have complete faith in the Gallos. I am so glad that the author, Chelle Bliss, didn’t let me down. Once again, the Gallos shined through the story. They loved with all of their hearts. It was great that they could share that with Delilah. Betty Gallo was wonderful as she spilled her secret of being a strong Gallo woman with Delilah. Lance Greenfield was perfect as the tough and yet soft hearted Lucio as Erin Mallon brought enough strength and character to Delilah without making me cry for her every time I thought about her situation. Both these brilliant narrators helped to weave a perfect happy every after. Flow - Bang! Daphne is a Firecracker. She has to be in a world full of Gallo men. It is going to take a lot to meet her standards. Which is why I adored Leo Conti. He was as strong and demanding as he needed to be and yet as gentle as Daphne really wanted. This story was a perfect yo-yo back and forth between the two of them. Wen Ross brought shivers as Leo working his way of telling Daphne to just do things and stop thinking. Kai Kenicott was perfect for Daphne and her quick banter and way of telling her family off.

Maneuver: Well I never thought I could or would fall for another Gallo man but Lucio Gallo hits all my buttons and is totally swoon worthy. There is nothing that I did not like about this man, he just does it for me. Although a ladies man, when the right woman comes along and in this case it is single mum Delilah Miles, he knows his is a goner in more ways than one. From the first page until the last I was captivated by their story and truth be told I didn’t want it to end. This was a smoking hot read that ticked all the boxes for me and in my opinion Chelle Bliss has another winner on her hands. The Chicago Gallos are just as family orientated as their southern cousins and just as inked, tempting and hot. They love, play and are loyal to a fault and for me if they would adopt me I would be so happy. When Delilah and her daughter fall on tough times, thanks to her horrible father, she has no idea how walking through the door into the Gallo’s Hook & Hustle South Side bar will change her life. Lucio and his mother Betty immediately offer her unconditional assistance and it is this that shows Delilah what family is meant to be. Betty was such a great character that I cannot wait to see what mischief she gets up to in future books. I love that at the heart of these books is the love of family and what they will do for each other and for those in need. Chelle Bliss writes with a depth of character that at times comes right out of no-where and knocks your socks off and this book was no exception. Lance Greenfield and Erin Mallon did a great job bringing this story to life and the narration was awesome. Flow:Not only are the Gallo men outstanding but so are the women. I absolutely loved Daphne Gallo and the man who captured her heart Leo Conti. Flow is the second book in the series and though a quick read it certainly packs an awful lot into it. Of course being a Gallo it means that the course of love does not run smoothly, particularly for Daphne as Leo is the sworn enemy of a rival crime family who her father loathes. Despite that, Leo has no hesitation in going after who he wants and he wants Daphne. The chemistry between them is off the charts and as always it was great to see some familiar faces pop onto the story. I love the Gallo family and when I start a new book it feels like I am coming home. Betty is such a great character that I cannot wait to see what mischief she gets up to in future books. I love that at the heart of these books is the love of family and what they will do for each other and those they care about. This was a fast paced, hot, steamy story full of surprising twists and turns which will keep you on the edge of your seat. Once click now you will not be disappointed. Chelle Bliss has another winner on her hands in my opinion. Wen Ross and Kai Kennicott did a great job bringing this story to life and their narration was spot on. In truth I could listen to this narrating duo all day every day.
