Just when you think a Series has reached it peak this author throws us another hero to fall in love with. Hustle is book 4 in the Men of Inked: Southside and it’s the book I have been waiting and let me tell you Vinnie’s story was everything I expected and more.
Vinnie Gallo is man not looking for love it’s going to take one special woman to chip away at his heart and Bianca Hernandez is one special woman. Vinnie is a first draft pick for his home NFL team and you may think he has everything he could ever want, he is living the dream except for the small fact of a stalker who just happens to be the owners daughter. Bianca is just what he needs a strong spitfire of a woman who stands for no nonsense but can she put up with the stress of loving a NFL player and the ups and downs that follow ......
This book captivated me, I love the Gallo’s and just when I think I know all their personalities Chelle Bliss gives me another totally different hero to fall for and I fell big for Vinnie. Every time I pick up one of the Men of Inked books I feel like I’m going home visiting family and friends because this is a family we all wish we had, the witty banter flows as do the storyline’s, the characters have chemistry and when these guys fall in love they fall big time. I can never get enough of this family and there stories will be read over and over again because I will never tire of them. This is a must read for any lover of romance.

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.

I LOVE the Gallo family!! And basically, you just need to read this series. Just figured I would start with that, lol! This is the fourth book about the Gallo family and they just keep getting better. Hustle by Chelle Bliss is freaking amazeballz!
Bianca and Vinnie have made a pact. They will be each other’s “girlfriend/boyfriend” for certain events for work and for families events. Vinnie needs her on his arm to ward off some crazy stalker-chick who happens to be the team's owner's granddaughter. That chick is cray-cray! One of those "Bye Felicia’s".
The bonus, for Vinnie, is Bianca is freaking gorgeous. Which has Vinnie trying to win over Bianca before the pact is up. He also slips into the role of Bianca’s muse and the “body” Bianca needs to work out issues she is having with some of the scenes in the novel she is writing.
OMG, have I mentioned she is a romance writer and those scenes with them “working out the issues” are freaking priceless. They are freaking HOT. But Bianca is trying to hold strong. She has sworn off men for a year due to a bad relationship but little does she know how Vinnie would be able to sneak in under that radar.
This book is hotter than heck! Vinnie and Bianca have topped the books in this series. This is a standalone, you do not need to read the other books to understand this one, but reading all of them is so worth it. They are strong Italian men raised by a strong Italian family that knows how to take care of their woman. Momma taught them right.

Chelle Bliss has done it again with this amazing book!!!
Vinnie Gallo was swoon worthy to the point that I want to know where to find a guy like him. Vinnie knew just the things to say and also how to handle almost every situation thrown at him. Vinnie has recently made his dreams come true by making it to the pros. However, with this comes some situations that he wants to avoid like the plague but it will not go away.
Bianca is a strong independent, young, author that has her mind set on staying away from men. That is until her new neighbor shows up. Will she be able to resist him? What happens when they both come up with a plan to get others off their back for different reasons?
Vinnie and Bianca have a chemistry that will eat your heart out. Even though all of Chelle's characters are amazing I think these two have made the top of the list for me. I can't wait to read more of the Southside Gallo family.

I am so in love with this series. I have read every book in this series at least twice. Thank you such wonderful collection of stories. Each story is different but compliments the series

The best by far in this Men of Inked: Southside series, Chelle Bliss turns up the heat in this truly tender kind of love story with Hustle. It was hard NOT to love Vincent Gallo and his sexy ways and there was no way Bianca Hernandez could have ever resisted the self-assured rookie football player. From the very first pages, as these two meet and realize they are the only two apartments on the 11th floor, there was a definite spark between them.
The newly-professional quarterback and the romance novelist are pure gold together as they start to spend some time together, even as Bianca tries her hardest to keep Vinnie at arm's length. The fiesty latina and the Mama's boy have a fiery chemistry that cannot be ignored. Together with some wildly steamy and dare I say, erotic trysts, these two had me fanning myself as they find themselves falling for the other when that was truly the last thing on either of their minds.
Bliss creates the perfect setting for why Vinnie and Bianca have to become closer and it's a battle of wills to see just how fast he can break down her defenses and be able to claim her for his own. Theirs is a surprising kind of romance but was clearly predestined prodded along with the sweet help of a few well-meaning and endearing characters.
The Gallo clan together with the Hernandez crew is one helluva boisterous group and I found myself smiling as they are not all that different, just wanting what is best for one of their own. They all provide a ton of comic relief as their protective sides come out to play more than once.
I loved every minute of their journey and succumbed to the Vinnie Gallo effect right along with Bianca. You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who could resist that incredible man. He is clearly the book boyfriend his girl could only dream about and write about and she deserves nothing less.
With the right amount of angst and true feeling, Hustle is a winner from beginning to end. It deserves 5 stars all the way!

Not my favorite by Chelle Bliss.

I have been addicted to Chelle Bliss since her first book in her first Men of Inked series and I haven't been able to pass one up since. This book is another example of why I can't pass up her work. I have loved getting each siblings story and am always eager for the next and especially since you get a bit of the character with each book. Needless to say I have been waiting anxiously for Vinnie's story.
Vinnie is a rookie on the team and is having a bit of a problem that is putting his career in jeopardy. He comes up with a plan to involve the neighbor he met in his new building, the problem??? She doesn't seem to like him or want anything to do with him. He loves her feisty personality and that she isn't like all the other women he has had come and go in his life.
Bianca decided to take a break from men and hopefully all distractions that they bring. She has to focus on her career and she knows after their brief meeting that Vinnie just that…a distraction. She tries her best to avoid him but maybe they can help each other out?? The problem??? He isn't like what she expected. He may have been known as a playboy but maybe things have changed. He is sweet, caring and understanding and she finds it hard to resist him.
I really hope we get more from this branch of the Gallos. I am going to be sad to read their last book because I always get attached to Chelle's characters. This was another great read and if you haven't read the others in the series you will still love this book and not feel lost at all.

Great series.

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.

Prepare to be dazzled and charmed by the newest Gallo man. Vinnie is going to tackle you with is charisma and personality just like he does Bianca... Well, maybe not exactly like that, but this book is super hot, sexy and a great read. Chelle Bliss keeps bringing these super hot Gallo men into our lives and I hope they have lots more family because I love this series.

While I found the story to be anticlimactic, I still very much enjoyed it. I adored Vinnie. He and Bianca had great chemistry.

Love this story! Vinnie is living his dream he wants to become a quarterback for a pro football team but has a stalker and Bianca is a romance author but is having trouble writing her next book. Vinnie meets Bianca when he is moving into his place and it turns out she lives right next door to him. Things go from there that keep you reading to find out what is going on and I could not put it down till I was finished it. I recommend this book!!!!!

Hustle is onelick wonder that will have your body buzzing with need, and your heart filled to the brim with love. Plus there is no end to the alpha hot, fun banner that has a way of leaving a huge smile on your face.
Yes, Vinnie’s book is must have in my option!
|

Omg! Vinnie is now on of my favorite Gallos! Hustle is Vinnie's story. This has all the snark, feisty women and hot alpha guys that you expect from a Men Of Inked book. His is packed snarky exchanges between Vinnie and the fiery Bianca, drama from a crazy fan, tons of interfering nosy family members and a growing attraction neither can fight. What starts out as a fake relationship to bail each other out turns into so much more...passion...love....this is just soooooo good!!

Hustle is the fourth book it the Men of Inked:Southside series but this can actually be read on a stand alone basis.
Hustle has been by far my favourite book of this series so far. It’s a real page turner and the story flows really well. It’s one of those books that it so easily devoured in one sitting. I absolutely loved Vinnie and Bianca and loved watching Vinnie help Bianca regain her self confidence. This couple have great chemistry and the play between them is fun yet absolutely smoking.
This was a real feel good read. It had humor, sexy times and a little drama thrown into the mix. Overall, a really enjoyable read.
I was provided with a copy of this book from the publisher; there was no inducement or obligation and I opted to leave a review.

I adored this book. Vinny was a player with the heart of a romantic. Charming, talented and famous, he knows what he wants until he meets Bianca. Bianca was sassy, fun, successful and quirky. She knows what she doesn't want until she meets Vinny. I thought these two made a very swoon worthy couple. The fun story line offers a blend of heat, heart, humor, drama that will keep you entertained and rooting for this couple.

Favorite Quotes:
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.

Hustle A fun romp with a bite of steam. This is an entertaining read. There could have been a little more depth and the antagonist was left unfinished, so perhaps to reappear in another story at a later date? There is romance, a small amount of angst and fun, romantic, steamy interactions between Bianca and Vinnie. Enjoy this one.

Oh Vinnie.... he's the baby but boy is he all man! We know him as a playboy but he really shows he's grown into quite the gentleman. And Bianca..... well she fits absolutely perfect for him and the Gallo family. This story was sweet and sexy with a good storyline.

I love the entire Gallo family and it is impossible to pick a favorite, but I found Vinnie sexy and very appealing with his chiseled abs and confident personality. I couldn’t wait to find out what lucky girl would catch his eye and capture his heart.
Vinnie never wanted a commitment until he met Bianca and she brought out his soft side and made everyday seem brighter. He is romantic, thoughtful, kind and takes care of Bianca when she is overworked and on a deadline. He was glad that Bianca didn’t know who he was and wasn’t impressed by his money and fame. She liked him for the man that he was, deep down inside. Vinnie’s close knit Italian family is something I can relate to and his nurtured upbringing has made him the man he is today. I love when he brings Bianca dinner, helps her with her writing, and always wants to take care of her. It is apparent that Vinnie likes getting his own way but with Bianca, he never pushed her and always treated her lovingly and reverently, as if she could break into a million pieces if something went wrong.
I love Bianca because she is motivated, hardworking and close to her family. She is funny, has a great personality and when she first saw Vinnie, she found it hard to talk to him because she was caught up in his sexy hotness. She took her time getting to know him and even though he came on a bit strong, that didn’t deter her from falling for him. As they became closer she learned that he was genuine, fun, a good listener, caring, and was always there for her, which made her feel cherished.
My favorite scenes in the book are when Vinnie stops by to see Bianca, shirtless (on purpose), and she is mesmerized by his muscles as he rubs his hand back and forth across his chest. I laughed every time this happened and I don’t blame Bianca for being in awe of him and his body. Their journey was uplifting, full of surprises and sexy moments, and one I will never forget.
