The moment I looked into his eyes, I knew I was in trouble.
The second I heard his name, I knew I should stay away.

Our fathers were mortal enemies—Chicago crime bosses from rival families.

But that didn’t stop Leo Conti from pursuing me.
Being together was dangerous, reckless, and totally hot.
He wanted me. I wanted him.

What could possibly go wrong?

Review

Flow is the second book in the new Men of Inked: Southside series by USA Today bestselling author Chelle Bliss.

Daphne Gallo never thought she'd fall in love... especially not with a bossy alpha.

...but there's a problem -- he's totally off limits.

Romeo and Juliet have nothing on the Gallo's and Conti's!
Daphne Gallo and Leo Conti are the proverbial star-crossed lovers. Being the children of rival mob bosses makes their romance not only defiant but dangerous. Daphne is scared of blowback if they are ever seen together. Leo knows the danger but wants her anyway. He pulls out all the stops to get her into his life while she drags out every excuse why they can't. Fun is watching him lock her down with passion and promises. This is why I keep coming back to Chell Bliss books. She takes a story and makes you feel like you are watching it happen instead of just reading it. The Gallos are my virtual family. :) Bring on Hook!!

This is book 2 in the Southside series and I would recommend reading book 1 too. Although you don't have to, each book is written as a standalone but you have to read Lucio's story and you will fall for him too.
This is Daphne and Leo's story and it is hot, sexy and forbidden. But that makes it all the better because Daphne is a Gallo and Leo is a Conti and that means their fathers are enemies. So does that mean that Daphne and Leo should be too.
While at her brother's wedding, Daphne begins to fall and Leo catches her. And she is lost when she looks into his eyes. And the sparks fly until Daphne learns who he is. She tries to stay away but her body betrays her mind.
Leo has nothing to do with his fathers business and he wants to see where things go with Daphne. Can he make her see that they are made for each other? Will Daphne give in and be able to keep them a secret? And what will happen when their secret gets out?
If you haven't read anything by Chelle Bliss, then you need to read this series or even this book. It is a perfect love story that will keep you on the edge of you seat until the end. I loved everything about it and all I can say is, Get It, Read It, Love It. I hope the next book is about Angelo, he is yummy.

Daphne Gallo has enough going on in her life with her Father getting out of prison and finding his place in the family again and the bar to run, she doesn't mean to bump into Leo Conti. Leo is from the Conti family and is a sworn enemy to her family, but from the instant she meets him she wants him. Leo feels the same but they can't be together without causing problems for the family, or can they?

Leo is a man who gets what he wants and he wants Daphne. He knows what they are doing is dangerous but he also knows if he lets her go it will be like losing a piece of himself. Two families suffering the fate brought on by their fathers, can Leo find a way to make Daphne his?

This was good, I was curious where the story with Daphne's father would go and his is an interesting tale. I thought this was a great story, chemistry between Daphne and Leo is sizzling from the very beginning. Entertaining read, well worth picking up this series.

Daphne Gallo and Leo Conti are like Romeo and Juliet - from two families with a history of animosity and violence. Their love is forbidden, but as soon as they see each other for the first time, their love can’t be denied.

Daphne is a strong woman - smart, determined, and confident. She loves Leo fiercely, but is realistic about their situation. Daphne could become shrewish in another author’s hands. But Ms. Bliss does a great job of balancing her toughness with showing her big heart.

Leo is tough, too, but cautious. He’s always had to be to avoid getting pulled into his father’s business. But Daphne totally catches him off guard and gets under his skin right away. He can’t help himself when it comes to her. He could seem over-bearing if not for the gentler shades Ms. Bliss colors him with.

They are two great characters; worth rooting for from the moment they meet. The secondary characters are also well drawn. You feel like the Gallos could be your neighbors (and may find yourself wishing they really were).

The story is familiar without being predictable. The colorful world Ms. Bliss has created feels familiar and real. The dialogue is snappy and fresh. Overall, I really enjoyed “Flow” and recommend it to you.

Daphne & Leo
5 Stars

This is definitely one of those books that will pull you in all directions. You want to side with one while the other is pulling your heart strings in the other direction.

Daphne is a Gallo, need I say more? She’s spunky, full of sassy comebacks, and she feisty as heck. One thing she does lack is the strength to stand up to Leo Conti. Oh boy!

Leo Conti is part of a Chicago Mob family. The very family that Daphne’s father considers his enemy. Although Leo may not partake in the family biz, he’s still labeled as such and this hunk-a hunk-a burnin’ love is all about his newest interest… Daphne Gallo!

The supporting character cast is fantastic as usual. We have Gallo’s upon Gallo’s and wowza are they hot. Hot-sexy and hot-mad at the thought of their sister & cousin falling for the unknown likes of Leo Conti.

I really enjoyed this one. It proved to be a nicely rounded story. Great characters that offered plenty of laughs and chuckles. This dialogue flowed with efficiency and the pacing was perfect. I loved it!

In Gallo fashion Daphne is tough as nails because if the men in her life. Just like Izzy she takes no s*** for no one. During her brother’s Lucio wedding she drinking with her family and almost falls and is caught by this handsome man. She is taken by him. Her father is out of prison and shows up to Lucio’s wedding. Her father right hand man recognizes him and tells him to leave. Leo Conti is the son of her Father’s enemy. With a terrible hangover she wakes up to find herself naked in bed with Leo not knowing how she got there. She tells Leo she can’t see him anymore. Leo is taken by Daphne. He refuses to let what they feel go. He ask her for one date. She finally agrees. She tries to hide her feelings but when he is near her or touches her sparks fly. She tells him again for obvious reasons they can’t be together. Leo doesn’t listen. He sends roses to let her know he still wants her. She hides it from her family until during family dinner she passes out in ends up at the Er with news that turns her world upside down. She has to tell her family who the father is. Their union brings the two families together. I’m happy for Leo and Daphne. Neither one of them are in their family business and have paved their own way. This book is amazing. Love it Chelle Bliss!

OMG.. Chelle has done it again.
What a story. I just love Chelke and her writings.
I absolutely loved Daphne from the last book but she is such a character she takes no prisoner's. Lol.
I love the way she is so strong a character and doesn't put up with shit from anyone including her Brother's.
I love Leo too. These two really made this story come to life and when she was giving birth I thought she was hilarious to Leo. The things she was saying to him and calling him were priceless.
Can't wait now for the next installment.

Another fantastic Gallo family story by Chelle Bliss that won’t disappoint! Daphne Gallo and Leo Conti meet at a wedding reception and sparks fly. However, they have yet to find out that they are in effect mortal enemies - their fathers have a long and unhappy history between them. But love is complicated and sometimes the best things in life go against reason. Daphne is a proud, strong and stubborn woman with a tough exterior. Underneath that bravado lies a kind heart and soft soul. Leo is perfect in every way for Daphne except that he’s a Conte. It’s a brilliant second book in the Men of Inked: Southside franchise.

Daphne and Leo knew each other as kids, but family rivalries, grudges and feuds take them in different directions. Their paths cross at Lucios' wedding without knowing who each other was, fate had them sizzling and sparks flying with chemistry so strong neither stubbornness could win. A few stolen nights, a series of events .........well you need to read it, love Italian families, strong heroine, alpha male lead determined to win her heart, twists in plot that will make this a page turner, single sitting read. Enjoy this book, and this Southside series.
