If you are not a fan of insta love, this one is not for you. This relationship moves very quickly but it is still enjoyable.
Lucio is something else. It was refreshing to read about a man that has his share of women but isn't made out to be an asshole. He is young, hot, and single. Why shouldn't he enjoy himself? Usually these guys are portrayed as thoughtless, arrogant, and irritating. Lucio is a hot guy with a heart of gold.
Delilah grew up with money but it sure didn't make her life easier. Her mother left, her father is an alcoholic, and her baby's father ran off when she was pregnant. Her father kicking her out of his car in the middle of the night with her baby and nothing else turns out to be the best thing that ever happened to her.
There is reasonable drama without the over the top stuff that often happens in bad boy romances. I love the Gallo's and was excited to meet the cousins. This family is awesome. I look forward to reading the next books.

When I saw this pop up in my suggested, I hummed and hawed over it, mainly because the synopsis and title really don't go with the cover. When I started it, it seemed to be slow, and it was a slow burn throughout the book, but as things moved and progressed I understood more and more the choices Chelle Bliss made and why. I read this one in about 6 hours, and it was a great sweet and steamy read! It is typical Mom porn fashion that this rough and gruff guy would melt and become the soft sweet but fiercely protective man his woman needed. But I also like how Delilah kept her independence and as much as Lucio wants to wrap her up and take away any more pain and suffering from her, he lets he fight he own battles, gives her massive support and love that she has never seen.
I will have my full review on my blog later on www.confessionsofareadinfreak.wordpress.com

Maneuver was a fast paced, entertaining, fun, absorbing and easy read. That had me hooked from the start. Thanks to the great characters and the general craziness that is the Gallo family, and if there is one thing Chelle Bliss knows how to write, it's big, loud and loving families. And these particular Gallos are easily all three.
Plus, I loved the almost insta love romance between Lucio and Delilah and the way Lucio protected and cared for Delilah and Lulu from the first moment they stepped foot in Hook and Hustle.
And I'm really excited to read more of these characters, especially after the way this story ended. And I would happily recommend this story to others.

A little too wham, bam, thank you ma'am for me. I love me some insta-love romance, but this one was a bit too perfect and farfetched.

This author is hit or miss for me. I was actually really enjoying this story. But it lost me when Lucio took advantage of a very drunk Delilah, which is a total turn off for me. Plus, there wasn’t any conflict between our main characters. I didn’t mind the story being sweet or an insta-love, but I wish we could have seen them work through something together and come out stronger.
