Hustle (Men of Inked: Southside Book 4) Kindle Edition

4.7 out of 5 stars 1,851 ratings

Vinnie Gallo's the hottest rookie in professional football. He's a smooth-talker, good with his hands, and knows how to score.

Bianca Hernandez thinks she's immune to Vinnie's charms. She's not impressed by the glitz, glamour, or fame, but after a six month self-imposed break from men, she feels her resistance slipping.

Nothing will stop Vinnie from trying to get the girl—not a crazy stalker, Bianca's two older brothers, or the fear he's falling in love.

Hustle is the fourth book in the interconnected standalone Men of Inked: Southside series by USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author Chelle Bliss.

5 out of 5 stars
Vinnie and Bianca are perfect together!
Vinnie and Bianca are perfect together! I loved the building of this relationship so much. All of Vinnie's cockiness and all of Bianca's attitude, as well as her insecurities, just made me fall for them fast. Chelle Bliss just keeps making this entire family so much more fun. Add in the Hernadez family and she kicked a touchdown! Then there was the psycho they had to deal with. Man did she make it interesting. I loved how Bianca took her down a peg. Now I am anticipating Love. I am anxious to see how they all get into mischief and I am dying for a wedding. :) Great job Chelle! Keep them coming!

    A great book that has so many layers. People who are so wrapped up in their careers that they forget to make room in their lives to find their person. I loved the grandma that seemed to know the future.

    I've said for the past 3 books that I wanted to be a member of the Gallo family, and now after book 4 I still want to be a Gallo but I also want to be Bianca's BFF!!!! We've heard a lot about Vinnie from his brothers and sister, so I kinda already had an idea of what kind of character he'd be, but Bianca was a huge, wonderful surprise!!! LOVED HER!!!
    I will say that Vinnie wasn't what I was expecting. In the previous books he was a playboy, womanizer who was just out for a good time. Which was probably true while he was in college, but this Vinnie is becoming an adult with adult responsibilities. He's having to step up his game to match his new adult life. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised in how he became an adult, thinking of others before himself. Our baby boy grew up good!!!!
    Bianca is his only neighbor on the 11th floor of their apartment building. They meet on the elevator as Vinnie is moving in. Of course, Vinnie effects Bianca but she's not going to let him know that! And, she has no idea who he is. Vinnie is intrigued from the get go and wants to get to know Bianca ASAP. What I love about Bianca is that she's her own woman. She doesn't need a man to complete her life, she's stubborn, independent, and isn't willing to drop at Vinnie's feet like she suspects a lot of women do. If Vinnie really wants her then he's going to have to work for it!!
    The secondary characters are wonderful!!! The Gallo's are out in full force again, since they're such a close family. We get to meet the Hernandez family, Bianca's parents and her 2 older brothers. They are just as interesting as the Gallo's, with their own little quirks and attitudes. We meet some of Vinnie's new teammates, his coach, and unfortunately his stalker, Tracie. She's a complete nut job!!! Hated her and what she put Vinnie and his family through. Also, hated that, since she was the owners granddaughter, the coach and staff did nothing about her behavior!!! Don't want to spoil anything, but LOVED the way Bianca dealt with her when she got the chance!!!!!
    This was such a wonderful book!!! The story flowed seamlessly, the characters were well developed, the relationships were amazing, and I got to spend time with the Gallo's again!! I highly recommend this book to everyone, as well as the 3 previous books in this series!! Can't wait for book 5!!!!!

    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.

    Reviewed in Canada on March 26, 2019
    h my Vinnie is HAF and a man that knows what he wants and goes after it no matter what stands in his way. Standing in his way is his neighbor Bianca who made a certain promise to herself and who got off on the wrong foot with Vinnie. 
    Well with Vinnie's charm and sexy attitude she can't resist him and they end up in a hot and sexy relationship. There are some compilations along the way but you will have to read it to find out what happens. 
    Loved Vinnie and Bianca together and loved this book so much that I ended up reading it in one sitting. Can't wait until the next one!

    I love this series, the hot alphas, strong women who bring the guys to their knees and writing that means you loose time getting sucked it to her world. Strong families add into the mix / with a little crazy thrown in and it all rolls into a total page turner. Oh nearly forgot Bunnies and Biancas story is HOT, and so good single sitting was all it took. Amazing give this book a try, I'd suggest reading the whole series for the full experience, and it's definitely worth it! Enjoy.
