Maneuver by Chelle Bliss

More Gallo men? Why thank you very much!
Ever since finding City (Joe) Gallo and Suzy I have been a huge Chelle Bliss fan. James and Izzy are probably my favourite Gallo couple, but I have to say that I'm really liking the Chicago branch of the family too.
Delilah is a single mother but also an uptown girl. An argument with her drunk of a father leads to her being abandoned, with her daughter, on the street outside a bar. Lucio is part owner of the bar and he swoops in to rescue her like the superhero alpha male he is.
Lucio is just such a wonderful hero, one you just can't help falling in love with from the moment you meet him. No wonder Delilah fell so hard and so fast! The story is a little insta-love, which isn't a trope I really care for, but the excellent quality of writing meant that this was easy to accept.
The story is fairly low on angst, with any issues coming from outside of their relationship. Delilah and Lucio have an instant attraction and this soon forms a deep connection. Personally I would have liked to see Delilah stand on her own two feet and gain some independence before shacking up with Lucio. If I hadn't believed in her feelings for him, courtesy of this author's great writing, she could have felt like a user or just a very desperate and needy character.
The book is really easy to read, held my attention and was very enjoyable. There is a lot of dirty talking, though only a couple of get down and dirty scenes. As long as you don't mind some bad language and bedroom activity then this is a book I am only too happy to recommend.
