Hook

I knew this story was going to rip me apart from the little snippets the author was sharing here and there. What I wasn’t expecting was to be crying like a baby while reading the prologue, it gives us a glimpse into the past and the hurt and pain will rip your heart out. I have read books that have parts that will have you shed a few tears here and there, books that end with me crying happy tears because it ends in a HEA, tears for a a emotional roller coaster ride. But it has been a while if ever that I have had a book that I was crying before chapter 1, laughing and crying through out the whole book and crying at the end. This book is filled with all the feels you could ever want in a fantastic book. And then there is Angelo, husband who lost the love of his life to cancer, left with two small children who lost their mother. The Gallo family that has had his back through it all. When Tilly moves to town, his world seems to be put back on the right track. Tilly has a loss that can never be healed, Angelo sees the same pain in her eyes that he feels. Tilly wants to move on with Angelo but feels guilty. She feels that her world is right when she is with Angelo. Can Angelo and Tilly find love that will help them both heal and move on with a future together? I think it will be fun for them to try and with the Gallo’s around you never know what is going to happen next. If you have read anything from author Chelle Bliss before, you know how she can draw you in to a story and keep you there until the end. And if you haven’t read her, then you need to read this one, yes it is part of a series but please read this series so you can read this book, you will not be disappointed. **I received a free copy of this book to read and review and this is my honest opinion**

OMG…Chelle Bliss is a GODESS!!! This series Southside books are AMAZING! I was a bit scared reading this book because of the content…now ill explain…Cancer it welll STINKS! I deal to well with it…BUT Chelle did it AMAZINGLY well! I cried at the prologue and I guess I always will when I read it…trust me I’ll be reading it again…now back to Angelo and Tilly…WOW!!! You read books where the couple is playing around for like 17 chapters and you don’t know when they will get it together to start a relationship and well it’s boring…not this one…they had INSTANT Chemistry since they met! Right off the bat! You have Angelo who has a family a daughter who has the world wrappped around her fingers…wants her dad to move on and get back into it again…she thinks she is getting a horse lol…he has lost his wife from cancer and hasn’t moved on…yet! Then Tilly who has lost a husband not to cancer but worse..War! Mitchel and Marisa were their loves of their lives…they never thought they could move on but fate is a fickle…you know…and when fate stops being fickle….it gets HOT!!! Read this book this series….if I could give more stars I would!

The Gallo family reminds me of my own Italian family; full of love and always hosting a big family dinner on Sundays that everyone must attend. They also mourn very deeply when someone they love passes, which is the case with Angelo and his beloved late wife, Marissa. His children are his top priority and he is unsure how they would feel if he started dating. He doesn’t feel it is the right time to be with anyone but from the moment he first saw Tilly, he knew his life would never be the same. Tilly is an angel in his eyes and she makes people smile and lights up every room that she enters. She has warmed his sad and broken heart and he finally felt that he could look forward to a future of love and happiness. Lilly mourns her late husband every day but when Angelo stepped into her cupcake shop her heart skipped a beat, her skin tingled, and life looked a little brighter. Where had he been all of her life? Did Angelo come into her life for a reason and was he the man who will make her smile and keep her safe? My heart broke for Angelo as I began reading this passionate and hopeful story about a grief-stricken couple who weren’t looking for love when they met. They were just taking one day at a time, one step at a time, toward a new life filled with the possibility of a second chance at love.

Loved this book Angelo’s story from the Southside Gallos. This book had my heart by the end of page 1, by page 2 I was sobbing. As a widower with two children, Angelo hasn’t had time or inclination to think about himself since he lost his wife. His family help, the bar, his mother, along with the children have kept him on track. Tilly also a military widow, opens her dream cupcake shop next to the family bar. The sparks fly, the guilt crashes the party, but together they find a second chance at love, passion, a family. Are they strong enough to let their spouses go, and grab the chance? This is a definite must read, read the two books before this to set the scene and full enjoyment but not essential. Tissues to hand, time set aside, you’ll not want to put this book down.

This was a fantastic story. That had a prologue that just about ripped my heart out!! And hooked me in, so much so I could not put it down. And it’s honestly the best Men of Inked: Southside book so far, and that’s saying something as they are all brilliant. And if you don’t laugh, cry and fall in love with Angelo, Tilly, Tate and Brax then there is something seriously wrong with you! Would definitely recommend
