Vinnie Gallo's the hottest rookie in professional football. He's a smooth-talker, good with his hands, and knows how to score.
Bianca Hernandez thinks she's immune to Vinnie's charms. She's not impressed by the glitz, glamour, or fame, but after a six month self-imposed break from men and sex, she feels her resistance slipping.
Nothing will stop Vinnie from trying to get the girl—not a crazy stalker, Bianca's two older brothers, or the fear he's falling in love.
I don’t know what century my mother is living in, but it’s not this one… “He has nice teeth too,” she adds, like that little detail should be enough to seal the deal.
You’re talking to a bunch of jocks and housewives, sweetheart. We barely write, let alone read.
She slides her hands down his thick neck to his shoulders. “Solid frame. Good genes. You’ll make wonderful grandchildren.” Vinnie stiffens. “I don’t think we’re ready to have children yet,” he tells her, letting her feel him up like she’s buying livestock. “I didn’t plan to have Luis when I did either. Accidents happen, handsome.”
I motion for her to give the book back. “But I want to finish it and yours too.” “Is Vinnie Gallo a secret romance lover?” “Shut your mouth. Don’t you dare tell anyone.”
My Review:
If in need of a quick, light, spicy, and irreverently amusing read, Hustle will put a smirk on your face and a kick in your pulse rate – this couple had sizzle and snap. Written in my favorite dual POV, the storylines were easy to follow and humorously entertaining while laced with sensual steam naughty levity, and bawdy talking characters. I enjoy the rowdy Gallos and am highly amused by the ingeniously uncommon element of an Italian mother who cannot cook.
It's hard to say which one of the books in this series are my favorite. I love all the Gallos. The cover of this book is smoking hot. I loved vinnie and the fact he is a hot football player.
Vinnie and Bianca start out as neighbors helping each other to one scorching hot couple. They are just combustible together. Let's just say, I'm jealous of a fictional character! Vinnie is super potent. And the families....well, we all know and love the Gallos but Bianca's gran.....let's just say, she fits right in! A definite must read!
Hustle by Chelle Bliss is book four in the Men of Inked: Southside Series. This is the story of Vinnie and Bianca. I have read the previous book, but feel this can be a standalone book. Vinnie and Bianca agree to a mutual arrangement where she pretends to be his girlfriend to keep a stalker girl from bother him and he will attend some of her family events. Of course nothing goes as planned and feelings start to become further engaged. This was a funny hot read...really enjoyed it.
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.
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.
Vinnie is living his dreams by finally getting to play in the NFL. Although he gets to play in the NFL there is one drawback to all of this. Vinnie meets his new neighbor but they don’t hit it off so well. Bianca is a writer and doesn’t take to well to her new neighbor. They both find themselves in a bind and need some help but they aren’t ready for instant chemistry and fire they have between them. Will they both be ready to lay it out on the line for one another?
I loved Vinnie and Bianca’s story and their characters pulled me in. I loved how they both stood their own with each other. Vinnie was use to a certain type and Bianca wasn’t that type just give in to each other and spoke her mind. I also loved how Vinnie brought out another side to Bianca. This book was everything I was looking for.
I have no idea where to begin...Vinnie's story has now become my favorite. He's the youngest Gallo in Chicago. He's got the world at his feet. He was chosen first round draft for his hometown team....His true dreams are becoming a reality. Is it an easy ride for him. Absolutely not. The poor guy is on a roller coaster. The ups can be very stressful, but those downs really re leave stress, And let me just say the way he handles the stress is a surprise. Cause it proves that Vinnie is truly a grown up and selfless. Bianca is truly the perfect fit for this Gallo. She's tough. Though when she met him her life was a bit messed up. But for 2 people who never though they wanted a commitment, they each threw the other off balance
Mhmm smoldering! Hustle is so good. It's sexy and fun. Feisty. I love the passionate build-up, the tension from others and the HOT romance. Vinnie Gallo is so intense with his magnetism and Bianca, Gah she is a Spitfire. I love her and her attitude, she knows how to handle this loverboy. These two are full of chemistry and the sparks they create is captivating. I love the family dynamics. The Gallos always manage to make me laugh and want to be a part of their family. They love deeply and Vinnie is no different, the way he falls for Bianca is swoon-worthy. Who knew this star football player is a hopeless romantic with a possessive side. The banter between Bianca and Vinnie had me smiling the whole time. I wish I was her that's for sure. All I kept thinking when I finished Hustle is Please let there be more Gallo's out there! Please, I can never get enough of them. Hustle is fast paced but not rushed. The characters are amazing and lovable. What a great story! A must read.
I received a copy and voluntarily left a review and all opinions are my own.
I never hesitate to jump into a Men Of Inked book by Chelle Bliss and revel in her newest fictional couple. But to say I was ready and willing to get up close and personal with the cocky, youngest member of the new Southside Gallo clan is an understatement. I couldn't wait to see a heroine lasso and tame this Gallo man. Of course with all Chelle Bliss books, the desire hits you from page one and keeps you humming throughout Vinnie and Bianca's story Hustle and has you turning pages as fast as you can. Chelle delivers another love story full of angst, a sassy heroine, a hero hot enough to melt your kindle, and a passion that consumes.
Vinnie Gallo had me besotted and caught in his web of smooth talking charms from the moment he was introduced in Manuever and kept me ensnared and waiting anxiously with each new story that Chelle pens in this series. I thought my heart was prepared for this hero but little did I know that his young age has nothing to do with experience in the bedroom because he quickly shows Bianca and readers that age is nothing but a number and has nothing to do with raw sexuality and prowess that he exudes.
Bianca Hernandez and her “swearing off men, celibate self” has no idea what is in store for her when she encounters the suave and sexy Vinnie in her apartment elevator. It isn't long before she realizes that her heart and libido are in serious trouble with this quarterback that knows how to score both on and off the field. And if encountering this Gallo and falling prey to his charms isn't enough, his family soon brings her into their fold and she is a complete goner.
Chelle Bliss delivers another love story that keeps us warm at the bosom of the Gallo family. I highly recommend Hustle along with the other books in the Men Of Inked: Southside series for a read that has you falling in love all over again with each new character that is introduced. I love a romance that surrounds us with a family that is passionate, boisterous, and loves fiercely and the Gallos always have that whether they are in Florida or Chicago, their love spans distance and time. Chelle Bliss always creates the perfect haven to show once again the beauty of love and how it is germinates, grows and flourishes no matter what the temperature. Although with her characters, it doesn't matter the climate, it is always steamy and more explosive by the moment.
Vinnie Gallo, the youngest of the Gallo’s of Chicago is finally living his dream…Professional Football Player. The hot rookie quarterback has it all, drafted by his home town, being close to his family again, moving into a penthouse apartment and NOT looking for love.
When he meets his moody next door neighbor on the elevator as he is moving in, he loves her attitude and beauty.
Bianca Hernandez is on a self imposed break from men. Yes, her new neighbor is hot and charming, but she will not fall for it. After Vinnie asks her to be his “fake” girlfriend to help ward off a stalker, and he is her “fake” boyfriend at a family function, the sparks start to fly.
Will they finally give in to the attraction between them or will they keep denying the pull they have between them?
I love this series and this book, but I did find some parts to be a little rushed. It is a stand alone book, but the preceding books in this series are worth the read. I will say I love how every book is really centered around family.
This review comes with a warning: cold showers or ice baths will be required at the completion of this book. Vinnie is the youngest Gallo, a star quarterback with the world which includes any woman he wants at his feet. A night of passion is all he ever promises the women after having his heart broken years ago and watching his parents messy relationship before they got it right. Bianca is a strong, driven, career minded woman who has sworn off men after the terrible choices she has made in the past. However as these two cross paths and favours are needed they may just discover that fate had this planned out all along. Hustle will grip you instantly, have you captivated and breathless and leave you with an unparalleled love story from this series. An impassioned love story full of heart, devotion and an intensity that you will never expect from the young Gallo.
Vinnie and Bianca's story was absolute perfection! Vinnie's a professional football player whose idea of a relationship is one night with a warm body. Bianca's a romance author whose real life doesn't depict her romance books at all. What happens when these two meet?? Nothing short of sparks flying, explosive chemistry, laugh out loud moments and undeniable attraction that will have you flipping through page after page for the INCREDIBLE story that unfolds. Vinnie is without a doubt one swoon-worthy alpha hero that gives all the Gallo men a run for their money! This is one Gallo that NEEDS to be read and savoured because there is no one like Vinnie Gallo!
I couldn't get enough of Vinnie and Bianca. These two are so perfect for each other but Vinnie just has to convince Bianca to give him a chance. Vinnie is a rookie football player and Bianca is a romance author. Vinnie has always been a one date person and Bianca has sworn off men for a while so when the two meet for the first time it's unbelievable, neither can keep their eyes to themselves. I could not read this story fast enough, Chelle outdid herself. I am a huge fan of all of her books but I think Vinnie is my favorite. This is a must read, everyone will love Vinnie and Bianca's story.
Just when you thought the Gallo's from Chicago couldn't get any hotter, you give us the baby Vinnie's story! Swoon.... Not only is he a legend in his own mind and in the minds of all his conquests, but he's a Chicago Bear...huge points in my book. He and Bianca are well written, compelling characters, their chemistry is hot, and I love her sass and his determination to break down her walls. I love the great big extended families...a fantastic addition to Men of Ink: Southside. I am voluntarily reviewing an Advance Reader Copy of this book
Absolutely loved Vinnie and Bianca’s book! Vinnie is my favorite Southside Gallo!! Bianca is his perfect match a sassy take no crap heroine. Can’t wait for more!! Definitely recommend this book
I have always loved Chelle Bliss books and they are very unique, I love it because it brings you right in, the sex scenes are steaming hot and the characters equally sexy!!
I am rating this a 4.5 and would definitely recommend it including the series!! H A P P Y - R E A D I N G
Hustle is my favourite book in the Southside series as I absolutely love Vinnie, the youngest of the Gallo siblings.
This is another quick, easy and hot read from Chelle that I couldn’t put down.
Vinnie and Bianca are neighbours who agree to help each other out by pretending they’re in a relationship to get a psycho stalker off Vinnie’s back and Bianca’s family off of hers.
Their friendship flows easily and Vinnie doesn’t mind helping Bianca out with her romance novel by providing his body for experimentation! So be prepared for some hot and sexy scenes re-enacted!
The characters have great chemistry, their families are both crazy - what more do you need?
Loved, loved, loved Vinnie and Bianca's story. He has to really woo her but when he does, it's amazing. This is another great book in another great series from my favorite author.
Yes I finally got my hands on Vinnie and I absolutely loved his book!!! I just knew when he found that one special woman she would bring him to his knees. And Bianca done just that to the playboy. And I loved every single moment of it. But she had swore men off for a bit she was so over being heartbroken by picking only the wrong men. So Vinnie really had to chase her and he is used to women falling at his feet for him. So it was funny to see him have to chase. I love Chelle Bliss' writing and this family and I didn't want it to end and I'm so happy that there will be more. I could read book after book after book of this family and be happy!! I highly highly recommend this book and this entire series!!!!
Vinnie Gallo, rookie football player. Hot as holy hell and has a smile that gets all the ladies jumping to his every whim. After all he is a Gallo. The Gallo men have no trouble reeling in the women, bringing them to their knees.
Vinnie literally bumps into Bianca Hernandez while moving into a new place to live and he got the shock of his life when Bianca was not interested in all his charms. She seemed disinterested. How is that even possible?. Vinnie of course sees this as a challenge. Bianca is a romance author, currently sworn off men and relationships of any kind. She is goal orientated and her life consists of work and nothing else. But Bianca cannot deny how utterly gorgeous Vinnie is physically. He fits the part for all her erotic, steamy novels that she writes about. The chemistry between Vinnie and Bianca cannot be denied. Vinnie is more than just a football jock. His feelings for Bianca are genuine and it was a punch to his gut when he finally realizes how much he cares for her, but in a very good way.
The chase by Vinnie in winning Bianca over is a delight to watch. For the first time in his life he has to actually work for something he wants badly, Bianca. The Gallo and Hernandez families are hysterically funny when they poke their noses into their business. I am looking forward to the next book in this series entitled Love.
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. :)
OMG Vinnie and Bianca have seriously become my new favorite super couple in the Gallo family. This book starts off with Vinny moving into a new place after being excepted into training camp for Chicago. It’s where he meets Bianca for the first time because she lives on the same floor that he does. Can a play boy like Vinny ever settle down and become a one woman man, and as a woman who works from home and less hours at a time ever have time for a relationship? You’ve got to read this book from Chelle Bliss to find out - and it’s amazing !! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Vinnie is awesome, him and Bianca are just amazing together, I seriously loved them. Vinnie is sweet, sexy as hell, totally alpha and just perfect and Bianca, she is fierce, stubborn and smart, she’s pretty cool, loved their story, it was just freaking awesome!!
