Description from the publisher:

This isn’t how fairy tales typically begin, but it’s where mine starts…

No money, no phone, and abandoned on the streets of Chicago.

With my baby in my arms, I wander into a bar in a shady neighborhood and ask to use their phone.

When my father turns us away and completely disowns me, the bar owner, and total hottie, offers us a place to stay…no strings attached.

I’m leery at first.
Hot alpha guy.
Down on her luck single mother.
I mean, who wouldn’t be wary?

Lucio Gallo isn’t like most men, though. He’s fiercely protective, loyal, and did I mention he’s covered in nothing but muscle?

Above all else, he’s everything I need but never knew I wanted.

MANEUVER is the first book in the Men of Inked: Southside series, a spin-off of our old favorites from Florida. These are their Chicago cousins. This will stand without having read any of the previous series.

Delilah and Lucio’s story is like a Disney romance. Insta-love! She is Snow White – a princess being cut out of the family and left to fend for herself with her sweet baby girl. Lucio is her prince from the other side of town and with a heart of gold. He’s also the total package – besides being sweet on her, he’s also fallen head over heels for her little bundle of joy. He’s protective, encouraging, honest, and has muscles and tattoos. He is patient, alpha, and swoony. Yep, he is everything on the checklist.

I loved Delilah’s strength. It’s not easy to set aside a toxic natural family and accept that you are worthy of the love of the family that wants you. She sees and she’s not afraid to grab it with both hands. Logic and timelines be damned!

I loved this story and read it in one sitting. In fact, that’s pretty much a given when it’s a Chelle Bliss book. I plan for the day and indulge because it is worth it every time!

Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
