When a nightclub entertainer and a gangster take a battered teenager into their home and hearts, they become a family as real as any bound by blood, and “bringing up baby” gets a whole new meaning.
There’s nothing unusual about the family living on Aberdeen Street. They’re just like every other family. They share meals and chores, watch television together, celebrate special occasions, and look after each other. They’re the kind of family Norman Rockwell would paint if he were still alive – and doing acid.
“Mom” is Chicago’s most famous female impersonator – Billy Blanchard, better known as Blanche D’Almond, belle of Café Muse. “Dad” is Sammy "The Pig" Gavone, a mid-level mobster, and their “son” is the banished child of religious fanatics. Who’s to say what makes a family?
But it’s not all white picket fences on Aberdeen Street. There's a greedy IRS flunky looking for a big score, an FBI agent with an axe to grind, a clingy male model with the prettiest feet in America, a meatpacking heir with a taste for S&M, a kinky trophy wife, and an unfortunate incident involving a vat of eucalyptus-scented wax. Then things get really complicated.
LOVER AND BULLETS explores what it means to be a family when the family is out of the ordinary.

This is a great one. Think Josh Lanyon wit crossed with Janet Evanovich's drag queen high-jinx.This book is more of a soap opera than a typical romance. You don't get a lot of romantic play-by-play. But there is a lot of action and drama. The plot and the characters are realistic and very funny. And I have to say, this book contains some of the BEST written drag queens I've ever read. It's hard to write drag queens realistically, and author Jeffrey Gentile really nailed it. There's a duality to most drag queens that can be hard to capture in a believable manner, and the catty wit that comes so naturally to most drag queens can be very hard to script, I was very impressed with how well done Billy and his troupe are.
There are gangsters in this story, so there's violence. It is not overly graphic or disturbing, mostly only people who deserve it end up dead. I had a bit of trouble following the passage of time, often times days, weeks, or even months will pass between the different scenes, and how much time has passed isn't specifically stated. But once I figured out that this tale wasn't going to be wrapped up nice and neat in two short days (like many other books in this genre tend to be), it wasn't difficult to follow. It was refreshing, in fact, to read a story that is realistically framed.
Overall the plot is very well rounded, you get the characters history and a good feel for the scene and the people without a lot of extra/unnecessary words, Gentile has a real knack for summing things up that shouldn't be dragged out. I am very impressed with this author, looking forward to more, I would love to hear Ray's story!

Love and Bullets A comedy with a body count edition by Jeffrey Gentile Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Jeff is dead-on with character renditions and suspense, but what I love most are the epithets that I know are truly his. Great read and nice inside views to the characters' motivations, with a throughly satisfying conclusion to a well-knit plot. Bravissima!!
This book was amazing! Jeffrey Gentile sure can write. I managed to finish the book in one afternoon. I just couldn't put it down. It made me laugh out loud. I felt a sense of compassion for the characters. They each had their demons, but overcame to find a life they deserved. It's obvious that Jeffrey left some loose ends so I hope that mean there will be another book.
This book is one of that I just couldn't put down. So different from what's out there a real love story with fun and amazing people. I just loved it, can't say enough about it... LOVED IT!!!!!!
love Love LOVE!!!!
I started this book Wednesday night and finished it by Thursday night!! I couldn't put it down! I loved all the main characters in this book but I especially loved Billy and Sammy!! I love the life and family that they created. I know I've read a great book when I end up rooting for every character to have a happy ending!! Hope to read more about this crazy yet loving family in the future!!
Love and Bullets was fast paced and enormously entertaining. I loved the plot line a "gay mafia hit man" PRICELESS. but oh so much more the character development was outstanding and there were some real laugh out loud passages in the book. I look forward to more from Jeffrey Gentile, hopefully in the near future. I like the fact that the story line was not neatly wrapped up so we know we can expect more from this up and coming author!!!!
Another Great read by Jeffrey Gentile; love the story line, it's funny, charming, and keeps you interested.
