Favorite Quotes:
“First stop is Gavin’s for some martinis, then we have tickets to a show,” Daphne says over her shoulder. “What kind of show?” My stomach flips a little because Daphne’s looking at me in such a way that I know she isn’t telling me everything. “It’s like the ballet.” “Like the ballet?” I ask flatly. She nods quickly and hooks her arm with mine, leading me toward the sleek black limo. “There’re men dancing.”
I feel like I’m stuck somewhere in the naughtiest Twilight Zone episode, where all my relatives are freaks, and I suddenly realize I am too.
“We grew up. Shit isn’t all it’s cracked up to be either,” Thomas says. “Have kids, they said. It’ll be fun, they said. Biggest lie ever.”
“I’m not listening,” Gigi sings into her phone screen. “This is way too much information and oversharing from all of you, not to mention gross and the things nightmares of made of.”
It’s not all tight bodies, big tits, and hot guys. This is Florida. You have a better chance of seeing an old man with a beer gut wearing a Speedo on the beach than some hot young thing.
My Review:
I adore Chelle Bliss and her lively and close-knit Gallo clan, they are large, loud, and love each other hard. The men are gorgeous and bossy yet tender-hearted alpha males while the women are as feisty as they are lovely to look at. Written in my favorite dual POV, the smirk-worthy storylines were engaging, quickly paced, easy to follow, deliciously steamy, and laced together with highly amusing and irreverent levity.

The Gallos each and every one
I love the Gallo family and this book will make you smile. It's about each and every one of them. Angelo is getting married. Then there's a surprise and the book ends with Suzy and city's daughter graduating high school.

I love the Gallo's. These men are amazing and the women in their lives are lucky to be apart of them. They are all fierce, alpha, hot and when they love it is everything. This book was an amazing story of Angelo and Tilly and they are perfect for each other. When you marry a Gallo you have more family than you can ever imagine and they are protective of everyone and when Tilly entered the family she saw that. The bond everyone has is amazing in itself and can be overwhelming but soon she is feeling a part of everything.
Chelle couldn't have ended this series any better, such an amazing story. Everyone needs to read this one if you have read the others.

Holy Cupcakes....this book was AH-MAZE-ING-LY EPIC!!!! I am head over heels in love with the Gallo's and this book right here is the reason why. This book gave me ALL THE FEELS.....I laughed, I cried but most of all my HEART was full. Why??? This family is so strong, so heartfelt and they have a bond like no other, they have each other's back and no matter what they are ALWAYS, ALWAYS there for one another through thick and thin. This was a story about Angelo and Tilly but it was also a story about the entire Gallo family and one that you need to read because I can't put into words how much this book meant to me. The Gallo family is one that I have always loved and will always hold a special place in my heart!

Just perfect extended epilogue of the story so far. Angelo and Tilly get ready for married life. Loved seeing all the couples again. Love the sense of family and belonging. Just a great summer read.
Oh--- and a little nugget dropped that the next gen may be getting ready to share their HEA's soon. Cant' wait!

This is a continuation of Tilly and Angelo’s story from Hook book 3.
Tilly and Angelo have found love again with each other. In this story we see them getting
married and being around Angelo’s monster size family.
Tilly feels overwhelmed with everyone in town and isn’t quite sure how to handle everyone. Angelo knows something is off with her as she is retreating into herself. Once Tilly talks with her new sisters about how everyone met she feels better with being around everyone.
Angelo’s family is always so warm and inviting. Once you are in the family you are in for life.
I did receive a free ARC copy of this book. I am freely leaving a honest review.

5 star Review Love (Men of Inked: Southside #5) by Chelle Bliss
It was so good to be back in the world of the Gallos and even knowing that this is the last book in the series, I was anxious to dive in to Love.
Not only do we have all the Southside Gallos but the whole Gallo gang comes together to celebrate Angelo and Tilly’s wedding. Oh how I love this family and I freely admit that I would love to be a member of this family. Any time I pick up one of their books it gives me a feeling of happiness and of coming home.
This is the continuation of Angelo and Tilly’s story from Hook which is still my absolute favourite from Chelle Bliss.
Love is a story of second chances and was full of romance, spice, humour, as well as hot and steamy scenes that had me riveted from the first to the last page.
They are all such great characters and Love is a fantastic 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.
One click now, you will not be disappointed. Chelle Bliss has another winner on her hands in my opinion.

The gang's all here...
LOVED AND ADORED THIS BOOK....Seeing Angelo and Tilly finally get married made my heart smile. Angelo never thought he would find love again after losing the love of his life. He found it again with Tilly. Angelo worships the ground that Tilly walks on. It was a beautifully written scene when they are getting prepared to get married. Angelo's children are so obviously in love with Tilly, and it was so cute to see how they react to the both of them tying the knot.
The cherry on the sundae was reuniting all the Gallos together to join them in their happiness. There is always drama with this clan and there is plenty of that in this book. Chelle wrote too many emotional tug on heart scenes to list them all here, but she never ceases to bring me to tears with her words.
I am sad that this is the end of the Southside series, but I look forward to reading about the Gallos through the next generation. It should be quite a ride.

I don’t think that there could be a more fitting end to this series than to be there to experience Angelo and Tilly’s wedding. They have both been through so much and endured so much pain to get to where they are now which is embracing a future with each other and becoming a family.
Tilly is feeling a little overwhelmed as she has no experience with such a large family especially one so boisterous. They welcome her with open arms and hearts which allows us to not only spend time with Angelo and Tilly but with this wonderful family as well.
It is great to see not only the love between the couples but the bond between the women as well which they need when it comes to dealing with the sexy alpha protectors in their lives. Full of heat, love and family this story doesn’t disappoint.

This title says it all. LOVE. That’s exactly what this book is all about; unconditional love. Chelle couldn’t have written a more perfect Gallo book. It was everything. The Gallos are good people and the family you dream about being a part of. The bond is strong and the love they have is all consuming.
The laughs, the tears, the giddy smirks and heated moments are what make a great book. This book was beyond amazing. Chelle pulls all the feels from you.
I loved the memories of the past and the look to the future. Chelle knows how to weave the perfect story. She’ll pull on the heartstrings and give you everything you are looking for and more. I can’t wait for more Gallos because this can’t be the end!

The Gallos are my favourite family ever. The men are all strong alpha types who love hard. Its time for Tilly and Angelo to get married which brings all the extended family to town. I felt for Tilly having to deal with the crazy Gallos, I mean who wouldn't feel overwhelmed. This book showcases not only the love between the couple but the whole family. Catching up with my favourite couples was a huge bonus I loved seeing them with their families. Now I'm looking forward to Gigi's book.

This is the continuation of Angelo and Tilly's story from Hook (Book 3) but it also involves all the Gallos. The family is gathering for the wedding and Tilly is feeling overwhelmed and doesn't know what to do about it. Angelo knows something is wrong with Tilly. She has a talk with her sisters in laws about how they met their husbands and begins to feel better about things. The Gallo family is what you want to be a part of and how you want family to act. This was such a great ending to this series. I loved every Gallo book and am sorry to see them go.

This is a continuous book of Angelo and Tilly. It starts on their wedding day and what all the Gallo family is up to. Can Angelo and Tilly make a life together with both having deceased spouses ? All of the Gallo are in this book, Joe, Mike, Thomas, Anthony, Izzy, and James, along with Lucio, Daphne, Vinnie , Angelo, and all of there spouses.
Love is a wedding. That's it. Just a wedding. The blurb said they were getting married, but I guess I expected more of a story. This one was JUST. A. WEDDING.
3.65 rating... CL listen 🎶

Angelo is quite the possessive one, "Angelo shifts, moving me to his other side and putting distance between Slate and me. “My woman enjoyed herself, but I’m not sure we’ll be coming back.” Oh how I missed Vinnie, "his hand moves to her hip. “I’m a grown-*** man, baby. Nothing bad is going to happen. Calm those sweet **ts of yours, and give me your lips.” I loved seeing the gang all together and see that the guys still lose their cra p over their women.

I loved how we got to see all of The Southside Gallos again!!! And to see all of them together was amazing and even though I am behind and haven't read the other set of Gallos....yet. I didn't feel I was missing anything at all. It just made me want to hurry up and clear my schedule and get caught up on all things Bliss!!! I'm telling you tho she could write another book of random get togethers with this family and I would buy it and read it!! I highly highly recommend this entire series!!!! 5 stars isn't enough for them. By Tina

Another great book written by one of my favourite authors. This was a great ending to another series. All of the Gallo’s together was a genius idea and a great way to refresh everyone’s memories before starting a new series with the next generation of these characters. ❤️❤️❤️

Oh how I loved this book, what a fantastic way to celebrate the end of a series with Angelo's and Tilly's wedding. Loved how the whole family came and made an appearance in this book.
Angelo and Tilly are definitely one of my top couples. Could read about them forever. Well done Chelle, absolutely amazing book and series!!!

Wow! I don’t have the right words to describe Love. What a great wrap up of the Southside Gallo’s. This story was everything! Angelo and Tilly had me crying my eyes out in Hook and the tissues had to come out again in Love. Some sadness, thanks again for the heart wrenching letters Chelle Bliss, but a lot of happiness. The entire Gallo family is together for the wedding of Angelo and Tilly. In case you can’t remember who is with who and some of their back stories it is written in nicely to recap The Men of Inked and The Men of Inked Southside. This is one amazing family and I am happy to have been a part of them.
The good news......this family can reproduce! So I’m sure there will be the next generation of Gallo’s to come. Just read the final chapters and you can get a glimpse.
Thank you Chelle Bliss for this family, their ups and downs, and their LOVE.

There is nothing better than getting both of the Gallo brothers together unless it’s getting both their families together!! I love that the Florida Gallos came north to visit the Chicago South Side Gallos for wedding!! For Angelo and Tilly finding love a second time means a new found happiness for each one of them. Bringing both families together for this book was sheer genius!! There were so many poignant moments throughout this book that just make you feel like your part of something greater! I loved this book and highly recommend reading it if you’re a Gallo family fan!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I loved this book so much! I ate it up with double fisted spoons. Chelle for the win again!
I love a good wedding and this one was epic! The Batchelor/Bachelorette parties were phenomenal! Having all the Gallos gathered was so much fun to see. I had missed our Florida crew. Tilly and Angelo gave us all the fire we have come to love in Chelle's books. Oh and tears as well. I am trying not to give anything away so I will just say that from start to that kick butt-ending I so loved this book!

It was amazing, I love this family so much, they are all super awesome and this book made me also love Joe and Suzy more.
Only thing I was expecting to see more was of the other Gallo kids not just Gigi, but it was still more than I had imagined.
Chelle once more knocked it out of the ball park!!

I received a copy and voluntarily left a review and all opinions are my own.
I can never wait to jump back into a fictional story with this beyond crazy, lovable family with colorful skin, equally colorful language, and a whole lot of heart. I have fallen as madly in love with the Southside Gallos as I have with the Florida Gallos, so when she brings them all together to celebrate Angelo and Tilly's wedding and all the festivities that go along with it, you are in for lots of hilarity, outrageous times, steam, and visits with old friends. Before I knew it, I had pulled up a chair and was elbow deep in their shenanigans and ready for more. Chelle Bliss always manages to bring us laughter with tears, heartfelt togetherness and enough desire to melt your kindle.
I loved being back with Angelo and Tilly, the one couple who had already found and lost love and wasn't looking for a new love that fell into their lap. I fell so hard and fast for this couple that I couldn't believe my luck that I would get to rub elbows again with them in the height of the festivities for their wedding. I couldn't wait to experience the great times and the heat between these two when they put the rings on each other's fingers. They made me double over in mirth and experience hot flashes by the dozen.
If that wasn't enough, Chelle takes us back into the fold with some of our favorite couples from the Gallo family that just couldn't stay away from the celebration. I was in absolute heaven being in the midst of Izzy's sassiness and all the alpha hot cockiness of the Gallo men starting but not ending with City. They always leave me with the warm and fuzzies wishing that I had more time with them.
Chelle Bliss delivers another addition to the Men Of Inked:Southside that is sure to bring you laughter, tears of joy, and lots and lots of heat! I highly recommend Love and ALL of Chelle Bliss's Men Of Inked series for a peek into an Italian family that will have you falling so fast into love with them that your heart will never recover. I cannot wait for the next Gallo family member to get bit by the love bug and show us their heart and freaky side.

Love is ... the Gallo Family
Since the very first Gallo, Joe "City", entered my life in Throttle Me, Chelle Bliss has captured my heart with this amazing Italian family made up of alpha men and strong women. LOVE is the final book in the Southside Series and the entire Gallo clan has gathered together to celebrate the wedding of Angelo and Tilly. You just know that when the Gallo's gather, the girls are going to get up to mischief and the men are going to bring their alpha hotness ... and Chelle does it all with her usual finesse.
Love is the foundation of this story. The love that Angelo and Tilly share together and with Angelo's children, but also the love that is to be found amongst all of the Gallos. Tilly is struggling with her emotions, leaving her past with Mitchell behind and trying to come to terms with entering such a large family. With no family of her own she is unsure of how she is going to cope. With her every step of the way is Angelo, a man who loves her with all of his heart, but he too is moving on from his past to form a new family with Tilly and his children.
Marrying into the Gallo family means marrying ALL of them, cousins included. this is a family that truly shows what love is all about. A family who automatically accepts you, regardless of your past. Tilly learns this after a night out and several conversations with all the Gallo girls.
A fun-loving story that will have you laughing so much you'll be crying. Along with the laughs there is plenty of HOT STEAMY moments too, Chelle never lets her readers down in this department. She also gives her readers a glimpse toward the future with Gigi, Joe's daughter, I'm sure she'll be the death of him.
A superb read and nothing less than what I would have expected from Chelle and the Gallos. She has made them become a part of my family too. A highly recommended read.

Chelle Bliss did a bang up job with this final book in the Men of Inked: Southside series. I couldn't have asked for anything better. This book had me from the very beginning, hell it had me with the first book in this series. That is the talent that is Chelle, she delivers books that you can't miss out on. I fall in love with each and every character and feel invested in not only their story but in their family as well.
In this book we get more of Angelo and Tilly and their journey to the alter. The feeling they are both going through with moving on even more from their grief from losing what they thought was their truly only loves and finding their place in each other's lives. We see Tilly finding her place in what is a big and overwhelming family and we see Angelo and his kids accepting Tilly even more into their family unit.
Not only do we get to see more of Angelo and Tilly but we get to catch up with not only the Southside crew but the original Gallos and boy did I love that. We get to see where they are in their lives with their families and we get to see what is promising to be another great future series with the Gallos second generation.
This is an author to follow. You will absolutely love ALL her books and fall in love with the characters if you haven't read them before and if you have then what are you doing??? Grab this baby quick because it is a DO NOT MISS book!!! Needless to say I highly recommend this book and think it would be best if you at least read Angelo and Tilly's book before reading this one to fully enjoy this book. I would recommend the whole thing because they are all really great books that I am thrilled to have read each and every one of.

In what is the final installment of the Men of Inked: Southside series, Chelle Bliss clearly saved the best for last. Love is just that: a book that embodies that emotion tenfold. We get more from Angelo (the oldest Southside Gallo) and his wife Tilly, the woman who saved him from an excruciating grief only she would understand. Watching as their affection only continues to grow as they marry and turn his lonely existence into a new family of 4. And in the meantime, other updates from not only this Chicago crew but the Florida cousins, who we met in the original Men of Inked series, make this book a family reunion of epic proportions.
Told in both Angelo and Tilly's POV, this eclectic and very tight group of Gallos let her in on their own love stories and how much they will make sure she is firmly entrenched in their lives. And Tilly couldn't be happier. In addition, Bliss manages to bring out the passion between these lovers with a sexy scene at a club that is not only wildly erotic but full of tenderness that I could not get enough of!! These Gallos know how to show their love in ways that only Bliss can deliver and it continues to set these stories on fire time and time again.
It was also fun to watch the younger set, in particular Gigi, who not only gives City and Suzy a run for their money as their headstrong daughter but shows she is a Gallo through and through and was taught well on how to handle the opposite sex. Tears from both laughing too hard with these crazy Gallo women combine with teary moments as Tilly finds her place among them to create the life she only dreamed of. All in all, an absolute perfect ending to this extraordinary saga.
Roger contends with some naughty of his own and I am hopeful we get his story someday soon. But overall, each member of this boisterous and very loyal Italian family get their happy. This glimpse into their lives as they continue to maneuver that crazy thing called love is full of mirth, joy and satisfaction as they find themselves exactly where they want to be.
I am beyond pleased at how Bliss not only gave us a bit more of Angelo and Tilly but got us all caught up on every character that has graced the wonderful pages of her work as it pertains to all things Gallo.
A must read, especially for fans of these books, Love deserves all the stars and more. I just loved it.
5+ stars!
