WOW! Chelle has done it again! I hate to say goodbye to the men (and women) of the Southside, but this end to the series is more that I could have hoped for! It begins with Angelo's wedding to Tilly, and ALL the Gallos are coming! It's such a fabulous wrap up/catch up of all the Gallos! All the humor, snark, steam and drama you crave is packed into every page! Vinnie and Bianca have their story in there too so nothing is left hanging. When the cousins get together, look out Chicago! I also loved that Bear and Fran are here...love that Bear! It's the perfect ending and the perfect setup to the next generation of Gallos and I can't wait to see what happens when all their children grow up!!!

Chelle has done it again. Love her books and the Gallos. Angelo and Tilly deserve their happy ever after. I laughed and cried with this one.

Oh My Word!! I can't get over how many stories were packed within this story. I laughed. I cried. I wanted to join in the celebrations. One thing is for sure I will never think of gray hair in the same way.

If you have enjoyed the Gallos you won't want to miss this merging of the Floridians and the Chicagoians. Like the windy city you will be blown away. This is not just the story of Tilly and Angelo walking down the aisle. The reader gets to enjoy a wedding cake made of words.

Love is book 5 in the Men of Inked: Southside Series. It brought all the Gallos back to Chicago for Tilly & Angelo’s wedding. The story was fun, entertaining and sexy as hell!! It wrapped up the series in a great way!!!

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!!!

Ughh. Let me reiterate two previous opinions: Angelo and Tilly were my favorite couple and there is too much happening in this book.
1. The first three chapters: so freaking weird. I don’t wanna judge someone else for whatever floats their boat, but
Spoiler going to a sex club with your whole family feels universally weird.
Spoiler Sorry not sorry.
2. Maybe this is my fault for expecting something it wasn’t, but I thought this would be more of a continuation of Angelo & Tilly’s story and it was not. It felt like it should’ve been focused on their wedding, early marriage & what follows instead of attempting to skim the lives of every Gallo. That is a different type of book. From the original book it was clear that there was a backstory or fertility issues to explore, but that was barely touched on. Instead it was various quasi-family reunion situations.

A disappointment

Loved it.

I loved this last book of the Southside Gallos. Not only was it great on its own but it has me ready for more!

This was just the best story to end the Men of Inked: Southside series on. As not only did it strongly feature Tilly and Angelo, who have been through so much. But it had plenty of the rest of the Gallos too, including the entire Florida contingent. Which meant there was a wealth of hijinks, heat, heart, emotion and laughter to enjoy and I really did. So much so I could not put it down and I would happily recommend it to others.

I read this thinking I was going to get more Angelo or maybe a quick novella featuring him and his first wife, Marissa, but it was a different thing all together.

This was an odd mishmash of the Gallo family and an introduction to their cousins and that side of the family. 
This one felt like a throwaway to me. It introduced another branch of the Gallo family that I'm not gravitating towards, so I might look for more of Bliss' work at my library.
