Without Me: A he falls first, found family romance

4.5⭐ I wasn't certain what to make of Anthony Gallo whenever I've read about him in the previous stories. But one thing I was certain about was his age, and that he had to be the youngest of the Gallo men. Alas, I was wrong, and he actually turned out to be the oldest. Which I would have said was Thomas. Thus, his story came as a bit of a surprise, but I did really enjoy it. Although, I did find the first half of Without Me a little slow, primarily because it covers a period of time that has already passed in previous stories, and so, I began to get a little frustrated with Max, whenever she would pull away from Anthony. Still, as someone who lives with an illness every day, I did understand her thinking, and I loved how Anthony, after finding out what was really going on didn't give up and faced her fears head on. And this was certainly a very sweet story in some respects, but it also had the fun, hot, and sexy aspects, I have come to love and expect in Chelle Bliss books.

I loved this book. had so much compassion and how the love of Anthony's life changed him completely into a better man. love the whole series so far, cant wait to get my hands on the next book.

This book made me laugh so hard I got dizzy!!! Max's family is funny, especially when the two families meet! I loved the ending after 5 years! Thomas's book I mentioned about not reading anything about the birth of the first Gallo baby, but luckily we didn't miss it in this one! Love this book, I could read this repeatedly!
