Massive world tours. Over a hundred million albums sold. Groupies galore.Every day is a party for Viper and the guys of TBD, the biggest rock band in the world. But it all comes to a screeching halt when the lead singer walks out of the studio one day and never comes back. Ear-blistering vocals. Butchered lyrics. Fame chasers.After months of lackluster auditions, Viper, the lead guitarist and … lead guitarist and resident bad boy of the group, is ready to find solace in the bottom of a bottle. Time’s running out and the pressure’s on to find a new singer, but it isn’t until an angel walks through the door that the band’s prayers are answered.
Charismatic. Talented. Magic behind the mic. Halo is everything they’ve been looking for.
With a voice to match his stunning good looks, it isn’t long before Viper’s taking notice. But there are several reasons this is a bad idea:
1.Interpersonal relationships in the band are discouraged
2.Viper has already broken rule #1—big mistake
3.Halo is straight
Too bad Viper’s body isn’t listening to his head—at least not the one on his shoulders. But you can’t fake chemistry, not onstage and certainly not off it, and Viper and Halo? They have it in spades.
As both men try to resist the fire blazing between them, and the band is forced to reinvent themselves, it’ll be a complicated rise back to the top. But from the ashes of what was, something beautiful is born. Something better. And when the world finally sees Halo stretch his wings, they’ll discover what it’s like to fall for an angel.
BOOK ONE OF THE FALLEN ANGEL SERIES
A ROCK ROMANCE

I love how Brooke and Ella team up and write awesome MM romance. Halo might be my favorite book to date. Sexy, smart, fun…this rockstar romance checks all the boxes for me.
Viper, the guitarist and songwriter for TBD, is deliciously wicked. He’s an unapologetic bad boy who flaunts his sexuality in the very best way. During his audition to replace the lead singer of TBD, Halo is confident in his talent, but intimidated by Viper’s flirtatious and unwavering attention. He’s a temptation that Halo can’t ignore, and did I mention Halo is straight?
Woah, this story is hot! Halo has a slow build up that ends in a beautiful climax…wink, wink… This couple is one of my favorite from Brooke and Ella. I can’t wait for Viper!
Ooh boy, these boys. Ok the name Viper can kind of throw you off, but hey it’s like a stage name so it’s fine. He’s the bad boy and Halo is the angel. They really shouldn’t be together, since there are in a band together. It shouldn’t be a problem because Halo is straight. I love straight boy mm! This was super hot, too. It didn’t end on a cliffhanger but their story isn’t over.
I cannot say how happy I was when Brooke and Ella announced that they were writing another series together, and better yet, it was an spin-off of Brooke’s latest series. As always, they delivered a great story, with a lot of emotions and and self discovery. Viper is everything you know about a rocker, but I think he’ll discovery with us that he can be much more. Halo is, like Viper likes to say, our Angel. He is learning how fame can change your life and also how Viper can change his life. I can’t wait for the second book, to see where life you lead them, but I have faith in Ella and Brooke and know it’ll be to a HEA.
5 star review of Halo by Ella Frank & Ella Frank
Wow, where do I start? Ella Frank and Brooke Blaine have another winning series on their hands in my opinion.
I was absolutely captivated from the first to the last chapter. The chemistry between Viper and Halo is intense and the scenes and chemistry scorchingly hot.
TBD is one of the most popular rock bands in the world and yet if they don’t find a new lead singer it will all crash and burn. When Halo strides in to audition all bets are off. Viper is immediately attracted to him, of course one major issue is that Halo is straight.
As they fight the attraction lives will be turned upside down and a new era for TBD will be born.
Halo is extremely well written and the characters of Viper and Halo were wonderful; a gripping story that had me so invested that I cannot wait for the next book.
Oh my God, I am totally kicking myself for not reading these books before now! The tension, the angst and the moment when it finally happens..Oh man I am loving Halo and Viper!! These two know how to make each other hunger with lust for each other.
The band is in disaray right now and they are looking for a new front man. Halo enters and sings.. They are blown away. One problem though, he catches the eye of Viper who’s gay but Halo not so much. These two are professional and so much so that Halo almost didn’t get the gig. There’s an attraction for sure but Halo has to come to terms to it. He hasn’t done this before but he can’t fight the power and sexual pull towards Viper. Viper and the guys know what’s at stake and get it down. Sure it might be some late nights with sexual tension building so high that you think they just might do it.. I am hooked on this series and can’t wait to read more Halo and Viper!! Onto to book 2!!
*Fans self*
That was one HOTTTT book!! I seriously singed my fingers a few times! Halo and Viper are sizzling, their chemistry is absolutely perfect! Viper is so delicious even a straight guy like Halo can’t resist!! Cannot wait for more!!!
4.75 / 5 Stars
Halo is such a beautiful story and a great start for this series!
I missed these authors co-written books and it was with good reason, they have a way to create loveable characters that are far from perfect. It shows a little bit of each of them while Halo and Viper set fire to the pages, theirs is a slow-burn romance well worth the wait and all the sexual tension they will make you suffer *giggles*. It’s obvious their relationship won’t be easy but surely they will overcome anything in the upcoming books.
Everything that happens to Halo, Viper and the rest of the band is too much that can’t fit in only one book, the cliffhangerish ending wasn’t the worst but it leaves you wanting more.
5 Stars
Well, hello there sexual tension!
When TBD’s frontman, Trent, decides he needs a break from life, he walks away from the band. Now, with their livelihoods on the line, the remaining guys are struggling to find a replacement. Enter Halo, the beautiful and extremely talented singer that is going to save their a$$es.
What this story lacks in angst, it more than makes up for with the slow build and sexual tension between Halo and Viper. It’s no secret (according to the tabloids) that Viper is into guys, so imagine Halo’s surprise and confusion when he feels that zap of energy between them. Knowing he needs to have patience with him, Viper slowly builds up the relationship between them and it’s nothing short of amazing. I read this in one sitting. I just couldn’t put it down. Their story definitely isn’t finished and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for us in Viper’s book.
Angela – Alphas Do It Better Book Blog
What holy hotness just I just read? Viper and Halo just lit my kindle on fire! Whoosh! All up in flames! Halo is definitely part angel but has that little bit of a devil hanging around in the corner. Just enough to tempt Viper. Viper is pure sin and you can’t help but want to let him corrupt every little part of you. I loved the sexual tension and temptation that came across every single line. Exactly what I expect from these two authors. They know how to get pulses racing and temperatures rising. I’m always wanting more, more, more!
Loved every second of the build.
It was exhilarating, all the anticipation.
Can’t get enough. I need more and starting right this second on my next fix of these sinful Rock God’s
Halo is book one in the Fallen Angel series by Ella Frank and Brooke Blaine. I was looking for a MM rock star romance and this has been on my list for awhile. Since I love both of these authors, I decided it was time. I feel like I need to admit that I did NOT realize that it was a continuing series about the same couple. I thought each book would be a different couple. But now that I’ve finished this first book, I can’t wait to jump right back in for more of these two. I loved it!
Viper is part of the world famous band, TBD. But several months prior to the start of this book, their lead singer, Trent, just walked away, leaving them floundering. They have auditioned scores of singers but none were the right fit. Until Halo walked in. The man looked and sang just like an angel. He could play any instrument, he could write, and he would make men and women alike, scream his name.
Halo was barely scraping by doing random small time gigs, living in a tiny apartment in a not so great neighborhood of New York. So he thought why not, and he sent an audition video to TBD. He couldn’t believe it when they wanted an in person audition. And was even more shocked when he got the job.
“Watching Halo was like poetry in motion.”
Halo is straight, Viper is not. But as soon as these two met, sparks were flying. It confuses Halo. He can’t understand why he is feeling the way he is about another man. But he can’t look away. The more time they spend together, the more touches they share, the hotter the chemistry gets.
Viper should not be risking everything by giving in to this thing between him and Halo. It took months to find the right man for their band. He could ruin everything. But he can’t stay away. I loved the way he took things so slowly. Little by little these two edged closer to the inevitable. Little by little Halo gave in to the attraction he couldn’t deny.
“You’re not looking too angelic right now, Angel.”
“You’re enough to corrupt anyone.”
“Ah, so you’re like a fallen angel?”
I loved this book. Halo was not only dealing with a brand new life with brand new stress. But also a brand new attraction, to a man! To a man he has idolized for years. I loved these two together and I can’t wait to see what comes next for them in the next book, Viper.
This story kind of took me by surprise, usually rockstar/musician books aren’t my thing, but I absolutely loved the start of Viper and Halo’s story!!
Halo and Viper had instant chemistry from their very first meeting and while Halo wasn’t entirely sure what kind of chemistry, Viper surely knows. Their connection is instant when they play together and that just seeps into the rest of the story. Viper is kind of a s*** at times, but Halo is just like his name says, he is golden. Not in an over the top good boy kind of way more of like he is so good he makes you want to be bad kind of way. With Halo being the first book about both guys I just know that their chemistry is going to get more intense. Viper is going to find himself on the brink of falling for Angel and not knowing how to feel about it. Just an opinion of course!
Now I am diving right into Viper because I must know what is going to happen!
I loved this whole series. I thought the characters were wonderfully developed and came to life for me right away. The tension between the two main characters was real and kept you rooting for them. And the sexy parts were . . . super sexy. I was panting by the end. The authors also did a great job of bringing the world of a famous rock band to life for me. I would definitely recommend!
If I could give this book more stars I would. I love love love this book. I have yet to read a book by Ella Frank and Brooke Blaine that I sis not enjoy. This book does not disappoint. Viper and his band mates of TBD are in need of a lead singer after their last just up and quit. In walks Halo and blows them away. Unfortunately for Viper he’s too interested in the new straight lead singer of the band. Halo never thought he would be a part of a band he grew up listening to. Being a part of a band that has down world tours and won many awards is very intimidating but Halo holds his own and prove why he’s a part of the band. The more time Halo and Viper spend together to more lines start to blur. I love the character connections with both the MCs and the band mates. I actually felt like I was a part of the band. I became investing the characters. How could I not live them? I highly highly highly recommend this book to others. If you enjoy gay for you books then you will love this series. It’s not only about finding about themselves but also about finding love in that one person who makes them want to risk everything.
Oh yea, one more thing, I also recommend have all the books before starting. You don’t want to finish and book and wait to get the next one. It will be pure torture. Lol
Heaven Never Looked So Good!
Viper and Halo… band,
Mates that are going to burn up the charts…unless they burn up between the sheets first!
This series is going to be amazing!
I’m pretty much a sucker for rocker romances these days so when I read the blurb for Halo I had to pick it up. And let me tell you, getting to meet Viper in this hot love story made that decision the best one I could have made.
Viper is the incredibly sexy lead guitarist for the world famous band, TBD. We find Viper and TBD in a major jam because their lead singer just ran out on them. They have been searching desperately for a new front man when in walks Halo for an audition, instantly taking Viper’s breath away for his amazing talent and scorching good looks. Oh, but did I forget to mention that Viper is gay and Halo is straight? YEP! GAHHHH!!
Let me just say that you might not enjoy this book if you’re not a believer in insta lust or if you aren’t prepared to want to read the follow up book. You won’t need to read the follow up but you’ll definitely want to. I say that because this book is all about the sexual tension and smoking hot chemistry between Viper and Halo and let me tell you it is ON. I would sign up in a heart beat to have an alpha man like Viper relentlessly flirt and pursue me like he does Halo. He is just THAT HOT.
We really don’t get a lot of back story on Halo or Viper because it’s all about their connection but that totally worked for me. For some it might make this feel a bit incomplete but I honestly see this three part book series as one long continuous book and Halo, or part one in my mind, did not disappoint.
Grab Halo if you like sexy musicians, alpha males or angelic romantics who bring them to their knees.
I LOVED this book!! I would give it more than 5 stars if I could! The fun sexy banter between Halo and Viper, mhmm! Running to read the next book right now!!
HALO is the first book in the Fallen Angel series by Ella Frank and Brooke Blaine. This book turns up the heat!
Oh my God… this book is HOT! The sensuality of Viper and Halo when they are practicing Viper’s new song… I am surprised my kindle didnt catch on fire. Whew! Definitely hot and sexy chemistry between Viper and Halo. The whole story of a rock band restarting with a new lead singer, a previously straight guy discovering new passion for his new bandmate… yes, I definitely will be reading the next book!
Cold shower warning !!!!
Wow what a book. I’d heard so much about this series and just hadn’t gotten around to reading it but god I’m so glad I’ve finally have it was brilliant. I luv a rockstar romance its one of my favourites to read. I’ve not read many M/M books but what I did I’ve enjoyed. So throw both together and I was sure I would luv it.
Viper I have to say is the most sexiest guy ever!! The way he held himself and how confident he is was was just so sexy. He is so arrogant and a total ass most of the time but I could help but fall for his character. I luvd everything about him. But where Halo/ Angel is concerned you see this different guy. Halo is making him feel things he isn’t used to. But Viper can’t help but want him he needs this fallen angel in anyway he could get him.
Halo is so different to Viper he soft and gentle. Viper is just the total opposite. Halo has never looked at a man the way Viper looks at him. This is new to him but he cant help wondering if his feeling were true or was it Viper just getting to him. Halo is sexy in a sweet pure way where Viper is just hot raw sexiness. This is all new to Halo but he can’t help but see if this is what he want his life is changing all around. He has become the lend singer to TBD and had huge shoes to fill. But with the voice of an angel and looks to match things were goin to be a lot different for Halo in more than one way.
This book was just full of sexual tension from start to finish. It should of came with a cold shower warning. I’m luvin that this is different to every other rock star book I’ve read. The M/M just makes it even better Viper and Halo are just amazing I like how different they are and how this is Halo first experience. I just know there is loads to come in this series in really looking forward to finding out what happens with these two and the band. Things didn’t go to plan but things can only get better right.
I would highly recommend this book the story is really good. Its the first time I’ve read a book by these two author but after this it won’t be the last there writing is so good and the story flowed so well. I luv sexual tension it was crazy between Viper and Halo this just made the story so good. Halo character has gone through so many feeling I really felt for him. The band his goin through some big changes to but Viper seems to be the only guy who seem angry about it all the rest just seen to go with it but I know there is more to it. I’m dying to read more to find out what going to happen. There is so much I want to know I’m dying for the next book.
OMG… What an amazing story. Halo and Viper had such intense chemistry and their story captivating, intense and riveting. This Rockstar M/M novel will give you all the feels as we go on this self discovery journey with Halo. I think this has to be the best M/M novel I’ve ever read. This was a slow burn novel that just builds with sexual tension which eventually just explodes and lit the pages of the novel on fire. I absolutely loved this page-turner and i can’t wait for the next book in the series.
