MY REVIEW

 

Hook by Chelle Bliss
Angelo & Tilly
JOYFUL, SAD, AND MOST ENJOYABLE
5 Ugly Cry Stars

From the newer Gallo spin off series, The Southside.. this one will nearly kill you!! Have you ever woken up your husband at 1AM by blowing your nose and wiping your face? Well, that would sum me up while reading this book!

Angelo is this solid, smart, and generous guy that you will fall in love with immediately. He has so much love in his heart to give that may be masked by pain and sorrow. It’s just waiting for the right girl to crack that thing wide open and implant herself in there… sometimes without even knowing it’s happening. I gotta say, he made it easy for me to love him.

Tilly is this little spitfire that moves her new cupcake shop next door to Hook & Hustle (Angelo’s’ family’s bar) and 5-4-3-2-1, let the fireworks begin. She’s struggling with similar issues, but seems to have more of a hold on her circumstances.

The supporting character cast is fantastic. Of course all the family will be involved, but that one little girl.. Little Tate (Angelo’s daughter) is so damn cute and smart beyond her years. She knew what her Daddy needed long before he did… This kid is incredible.

This damn book will make you look like a damn mess the next day after reading it… with your puffy eyes and red nose, but it’s effing worth it. Ugly cries, laughter a plenty, and characters so fantastic that I feel like I know them so well. It’s not a dark read, but you will be all over the spectrum as far as your emotions go. The pacing is swift, the dialogue flows, and the writing style is brilliant. Highly recommended!!!n
