You just can’t go wrong with any of Alessandra Torre’s books. She knows how to write in any genre and you just know she’ll suck you right in and won’t spit you back out until the last page.
Autumn was definitely a refreshing character who had me on a constant lol mode. She was funny, quirky and extraordinary. She is definitely an interesting character and one that will be hard to forget.
Declan, that man really pulled me in from the moment I started this book. He was so captivating and I loved him and his personality.
I just loved how the story developed between these two characters. It put me in a happy mood and with a big ol smile on my face at the end.
Tripping on a Halo….. I found this book to be a super unique story that was pure giggling fun, kept me thoroughly entertained and glued to the pages!!!
The sweet quirky heroine, Autumn Jones, is that crazy best friend/sister that just keeps you laughing yet wondering if she’s lost her marbles at times (LOL) and even though the sexy hero, Declan Moss, is the object of her obsessive guardian angel behavior, he can’t help but to fall completely under the spell of her sweet caring type of crazy!!!
This is, for the most part, a wonderful, zany, super fun romantic comedy. BUT, through the fun LOL entertaining parts are a lot of HEARTFELT moments that build up gradually and then out of nowhere the most unexpected of twists happens and I’m on the verge of TEARS and holding my breath for fear of the worst. And then…. YAY, my heart was happy and swooning again along with a little more giggling!!
I LOVED IT!!!!!
Hallelujah! What a fun, quirky, unique, in-the-moment story!!! Sometimes authors surprise you with something you didn’t really know you wanted to read. This is one of those books. It’s a heavenly affair with all kinds of heat flowing in between. Autumn and Declan are on a star-crossed path and nothing is going to slow it down…..not even a giant, plastic…oh yeah…..
TOAH is a fun, charasmatic read and totally different that what I’ve come to expect from Alessandra Torre.
The characters, Autumn and Declan, are fun to watch develop and interact with each other. They’ve got chemistry, heart and quirks. Oh boy are these two quirky! But they work. Once they get together you see how each other works for them. And the micro mini Mr. Oinks! Ok he was just a super fun animal addition!
On the edge of gooey sweetness, this is a total laugh out loud but still sexy read.
If you are a fan of AT already, get ready because this is totally different from her normal writing.
If you are new to AT, this is a perfect book to start with, as it is light and fun and a great read.
Declan Moss is an up and coming architect, he’s in business with his best friend Nate and their on the verge of landing a huge business deal that would grow the company. Everything seems to be going great in his life, so what has him mildly distracted???? He knows the beautiful blond girl that’s been stalking him for months might be the problem!!! She’s everywhere and its making him crazy!!!
Autumn knows in her heart she’s Declan’s guardian angel. It’s her job to keep him safe, and she’s on a mission, even if it means throwing a fake penis thru the air on a crowded street corner to save him from death!! When a chance encounter has her actually coming face to face with Declan, she’s unable to deny the intense chemistry radiating between them. She’s knows all about Declan’s life on paper, but meeting him throws her for a loop, something she never expects!!!
Let me say how much I enjoyed this book!!! How can you not love a book with a pig named Mr Oinks? I’m always excited to read a book from Ms Torre because you can always expect the unexpected. She never boxes herself in to a specific genre with her writing, and this story represents that. The story is loaded with humor, and gives us a charming love story that blossoms between Declan and Autumn under the most unusual circumstances to say the least. The twist towards the end of the book takes a dramatic turn in the story, but it lays the foundation of Autumn’s and Declan’s relationship. This is a wonderful and witty read by Ms Torre.
Be prepared. And when I say prepared, be prepared to laugh your butt off and then cry your eyes out. This book is definitely chock full of all kinds of emotions.
I will be honest, at first, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was hoping that Autumn wasn’t an actual angel. I tend to not get into the supernatural books so much. I think even if she had been, it wouldn’t have made a difference with this book as far as me liking it. There wasn’t anyway to not enjoy this story.
I adored the characters so much. It’s impossible to not fall in love with them once the story really gets going. I devoured this unique, funny, heartbreaking, loving story from start to finish. The character development and connections made this story.
If you are looking for a sweet, funny, fast-paced read, this one is definitely a book for you. I can’t think of a single person who wouldn’t enjoy this one!
I typically go for the more angsty serious reads. The darker, out of the box, an edge of your seat read. Then I come across books like this, and I am glad I picked them up. Alessandra Torre is usually my go-to for “fan yourself” sexy reads, consuming all of your attention tales, now I can add romantic comedy to her list of things she does well. I never really had her on my list of authors for that, but now I can’t imagine not having her on there.
“Then let’s talk about our future. Your dreams.” He ran his hand gently across the top of my head. “I want to make all of them come true.”
This is one funny, sweet and very original story. I read this one with a smile on my face and put me in a good mood that I wasn’t expecting to be in that day. Autumn and Declan were perfect together, I loved them together. This is the kinda book that makes you believe in true love and the power of romance.
4.5 ‘Guardian angel’ Stars!
ARC provided by the author via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I’ve probably described with this word every single release I’ve read by Alessandra Torre but it doesn’t make it any less true: unique. This woman always surprises with her originality and the surprises and twists you do not expect that make story even a more amazing experience. Can you tell how much I enjoyed this book? Well done, Alessandra!
So, Tripping on a Halo is this author’s newest standalone release and if you have read Alessandra’s books before, this one has a similar feel to Love, Chloe. This is on the lighter, romcom side of Alessandra’s works. This is the story of Autumn Jones, a very peculiar woman who believes is the guardian angel of hot architect Declan Moss. However, Declan is not feeling it, he thinks Autumn is stalking him (which is understandable lol). Of course, everything changes when they actually meet in person and sparks start flying.
“I don’t know what I told you last night, after whatever voodoo magic your body unleashed, but I’m not having a bodyguard. And I’m not sharing my schedule or notifying you of travel arrangements.”
Oh God, this novel was so quirky and so freaking entertaining! Autumn is such an unusual heroine and that is what makes Tripping on a Halo a great read. She is kind of obsessed with protecting Declan and she uses the most hilarious ways to do it. Declan, during one of those ways, discovers who his “stalker” is and everything gets even better when they meet. Yes, Autumn continues with her priority of saving Declan from harm but that also gets mixed with the off-the-charts chemistry between them.
In that moment, I didn’t want to protect Declan Moss. I wanted him to want me. To take my heart as his own. I wanted to feel, and be unafraid, and to trust in him to protect me.
Declan is decided to seduce her and he will succeed no matter what. An unconventional love story starts and the rest is history! This story is also unique because of the surprises and twist Alessandra throws along the way. I mean, Autumn has an adorable pig as a pet called Mr. Oinks! And the story even has time to make us emotional with everything that happens towards the end.. I am not spoiling anything because it’s what makes this story so especial. And I absolutely loved the ending!
She had saved him. She had created them. She had wormed her way into his life, and then his heart, and broken him open in a hundred different ways. Gave him love and chaos and color in a world that had always been precise angles of gray.
Therefore, my rating for Tripping on a Halo is 4.5 STARS because Alessandra, again, has this unique writing that kept me hooked to this story and its exotic characters. I loved Autumn and Declan together, they were hilarious, quirky and oh-so-sexy! I also loved all the feels towards the end. So yeah, if you are into romcoms and you enjoy Alessandra Torre’s fantastic writing style and characters, be sure to check this novel out!
I was thoroughly shocked with this side of Alessandra Torre. I really only stumbled upon her last year on NetGalley so I’ve only real 5 or so of her books thus far. I think what really gets me with every single novel is the variation between all of them. All her books are so completely different from her others. Most authors find their genre and stick to it, they change out characters and some back story but the books are so similar that you forget them as soon as they’re read. That doesn’t happen with Torre. Everything deviates so greatly. You’d honestly think her books will all from different authors, if not for her superb writing style. I think this is the biggest thing that makes me want to read her books… I never know what’s to come.
Which brings me to Tripping on a Halo. The story brought out this fun and giddy side of the author that I enjoyed way too much! Declan and Autumn as so adorable together and hilarious. Who can walk past an adorable witty woman who “specializes” in saving Declan’s life. This was a quick and light read that’ll have you giggling feverishly! Loved the fun in this story! Just delightful!
I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that… my opinions.
TRIPPING ON A HALO by author Alessandra Torre is a standalone romance novel. In this stoty, we meet handsone but unsuspecting Declan & sweet but nutso Autumn. Match made in heaven, hmmm?
Tripping on a Halo has all the right pieces in just the right places for the perfect romantic comedy. It’s original, sassy, sexy, silly and just a story that will pull on your heartstrings Alessandra Torre has written a story that I won’t forget anytime soon and I know that so many people will fall head over heels in love with these two. I don’t want to give any of the story away but this story will blow your mind away!!! Well here is a taste of the story to entice you::: Autumn really believes that she is Declan’s guardian angel– believes this to the point that she stalked him/ “guarded” him for 4 months . Autumn thinks Dec doesn’t even see her -He Does see her but since she doesn’t pose a threat/ interfere in his life in Dec sort of accepts her. Suddenly circumstances force them to end up coming face to face, and OMG it is Amazing!!! The story just gets better from here on out. Autumn and Declan’s relationship is beautiful, sizzling, crazy and full of Feels!! I dont want to give any spoilers away but know that Ms. Torre has written a compelling read with moving, heartfelt main characters. Autumn and Declan met under unusual circumstances and from then on, they had me laughing until my rib muscles hurt.Brava Alessandra!
My Rating: 4.5 stars *****
The countdown is finally over and Tripping on a Halo is Here! This story was so much fun, every now and then you need a story like this one to lighting things up…even though Alessandra trows a curve ball in there.
Autumn was a breath of fresh air, she was whimsical and flighty but she had a good heart and everything she does was from a good place, even if people thought she was coo-coo. Declan at first seemed to be a stuffed shirt type of guy but we soon realize why that is and let me tell you Autumn is the perfect woman for him.
As unconventional as a relationship between the two of them would be you soon begin to realize how great they are together and how everything has led them to this point. Whether you want to call it fate or divine intervention there is a reason the two of them are brought together and it becomes clear not long after they are together.
I love Declan and Autumn, oh and I can’t leave out Mr. Oinks! This was a fun read with lovable characters that will have you rooting for them right from the start. There are plenty of laugh out loud moments so don’t be surprised when one sneaks out of you. If you haven’t read any of Alessandra Torre’s books yet this is a perfect place to start, and if you’re already a fan I think you’ll be thrilled with this read. Happy Reading!!!
**I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Readers Copy of this book**
What a fabulous book!! Had me laughing throughout, albeit wiping tears also at times. Alessandra just shows her glorious colours of versatility in this off-the-beaten-path, very original, very unique love story between a guy in hypothetical danger and his self appointed Guardian Angel ! It also helps the readers that the ArchiHottie Declan Moss is drop dead sexy, has a sense of humour and is a people charmer. His life seems to be a step away from death….or so his misguided “Protector of Life” Autumn Jones thinks, actually obsesses…no no, she STALKS. Like her full on, life mission is to follow Declan and save his life!. And it’s stretching a bit too far for his liking!
“She went from being a harmless, almost entertaining annoyance, to something more ominous. Creepy.”
“Women do this. They obsess. They stalk. And when they don’t get the guy, they kill.”
Well she doesn’t wanna kill him…duh!! But she really is crazy freaked out, so she transfers her own fears of loss and abandonment on Declan, so his life saving becomes her own salvation…know what I mean?
No, then READ THE BOOK!!
It’s hilarious, sweet, adorably delusional, sexy , with sexual chemistry just lighting up the pages like Christmas.
And then Alessandra drops the bomb! seriously!!!!
What will happen to Mr.Oinks
Oh yeah, forgot to tell you , theres this pot-bellied, cute as a wet snout, pet pig that is Autumn’s sidekick sorta! (Told you, the girl is crazzy!!)
The story will just capture your heart and won’t let go. Simplistic story written so exquisitely the ending just takes your breath away. You forget to move, breathe or exist. It’s that mesmerising!!
She had saved him. She had created them. She had wormed her way into his life, and then his heart, and broken him open in a hundred different ways. Gave him love and chaos and color in a world that had always been precise angles of gray.
Thank you ally for giving us this awesomesaucefabulouslyfantasticallyadorablistic story

I won’t go into details because I don’t want to spoil it for anybody, just know that the story is beautifully well written, and filled with so many laugh out loud moments. This book wasn’t at all what I thought it’ll be, it was much more, just perfection!!
All in all, the story is sweet, fun, entertaining, well-paced, and keeps you turning the pages and smiling all the way through. I devoured it, and enjoyed every minute of it.

Their journey is a must-read!

Happy reading!
4.5 Stars!
Declan Moss is a gorgeous architect who lives in Tallahassee, Florida. He has a great life except for the creepy, blonde stalker he can’t seem to shake. Between multiple attempts to see him at his office, odd outbursts, and showing up all over town he was convinced she was a lunatic who had serious boundary issues. When she begins to step up her game he becomes more alarmed than flattered.
Autumn Jones is a quirky, beautiful woman who has an obsession with cupcakes, scrapbooking, her pet pig, and Declan Moss. She was plagued by worry over this stranger, and feared something terrible was going to happen to him. She felt it was her job to protect him, and his safety and well being had become her top priority. She viewed herself as his guardian angel, and vowed to keep him from harm.
Six months go by until Declan and Autumn finally come face to face. Up close Declan is blinded by her beauty. He’d never met a woman this awkward and adorable, but also sexy as hell. Sparks fly and soon the fascination is mutual. Could fate or the universe be pushing them together? As their chemistry ignites Declan finds himself wanting to spend more time with Autumn, and Autumn can’t resist swooning over this delicious man and his irresistible smiles. He’s become her kryptonite, and now she wonders if she could be the one in danger as he’s slowly stealing her heart piece by piece.
I loved this sweet, fun, unique book! It’s a hilarious romantic comedy that will have you smiling, and laughing out loud. It’s just so darn cute! One of my favorites by Alessandra Torre!
Tripping On A Halo is a quirky, heartwarming story that I quite liked. It made me snort a few times and kept me entertained. I recommend it to those looking for a lighthearted read.

I received a free copy of this book from the author.
Y’all, seriously. Romantic Comedies mostly go over my head. I’m not a big comedy person it usually just ends up not being funny to me 99% of the time. Tripping on a Halo is a RomCom. So you know I already had to look for the comedy while reading.
I enjoy Alessandra Torre’s books so much that I toughed this out just for her…and me too. It’s not a horrible book. It’s actually a good one! I would recommend you read it. Especially if you like comedy.
Even if you don’t like comedy and you read more like me – straight to the point – you may like the story as well.
You will meet Autumn and Declan in Tripping on a Halo. I was glad Alessandra chose to introduce the characters to each other the way she did. Otherwise the story would have had a totally different feel to it. Autumn is Declan’s Guardian Angel…or so she thinks.
There’s several instances in this book where people think she’s lost her mind. Her therapy sessions had to be pretty hilarious if you’d attend one in person. As you read along the story I think you become more enamored with Autumn no matter how crazy she is.
Declan – you might think he’s crazy too. HA! See … this is where all the comedy comes in. He’s actually pretty smitten. Which works for this book quite well. Thankfully he has a watchful eye and common sense.
Once you read Tripping on a Halo all this will make sense. I hope anyway. Nothing like being secretive in a review, huh? Give it a go and let me know what you think!
Alessandra Torre’s talent has no boundaries. She’s such a diverse author and whether she’s writing erotica, suspense or a romantic comedy, she nails it every time. Tripping on a Halo is creative and flawlessly written with a clever plot that had me in hysterics.
Autumn is so unbelievably sweet, she reminds me of sunshine and I couldn’t help but fall in love with her. She’s quirky, a little naive at times, her stalker skills are on point (in a funny way) and the best part is…. she owns a pet pig!! Mr. Oinks is an excellent addition to this book. Declan is perfection, I mean there is nothing bad about him at all. He’s sexy, loyal, devoted and boy does he bring it during the sexy times!! They met under unique circumstances and it was fun reading how their relationship developed. Both characters are so easy to love with their charming antics that put a huge smile on my face. This is such a feel good book that is filled with so much depth and I seriously couldn’t get enough of it.
The last few chapters are touching, heartfelt and oh so romantic. I was pleasantly surprised with Tripping on a Halo as it was so much more than I expected. If you are looking for a refreshing, sweet and laugh out of loud romantic comedy, then this is definitely the book for you. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.
All the belly laugh stars for this smart RomCom that had my bursts of laughter coming at regular intervals in between the constant chuckles. Freaking hilarious!
The main characters, Autumn and Declan, are too loveable for words! The supporting characters were so distinguishable and endearing, having their own quirks and nuances that added perfectly to the humor. A special character award goes to the precious Mr. Oinks and his flatulates!
Tripping on A Halo is brilliantly crafted. There is a chapter that put me in an abrupt tailspin at an unexpected moment causing me to publicly hyperventilate and bawl like a baby at a very inappropriate time.
When you’re ready for a good laugh, don’t miss this one. It’s magnificent! I loved it!
4.5 stars! I totally fell in love with Autumn and Declan! This story is a super fun, outside the box read from Alessandra Torre. Here’s a girl who is convinced she’s this guy’s guardian angel, doing all kinds of hilarious things to make sure he stays safe. What would you think about someone if you saw them waving around a giant inflatable penis? Hmmm, maybe that person is off their rocker?
Declan completely captured my heart with the things he does and says throughout this book. He seemed to take it in stride pretty well that this quirky, crazy girl is convinced she’s meant to keep him safe.
Readers are going to fall in love with these two characters, not to mention some other pretty adorable side characters who rounded out this story in a very entertaining way. There was a twist I didn’t see coming, and appearances from characters we’ve met and fell in love with in past Alessandra books.
I highly recommend picking up Tripping on a Halo. It’s filled with funny moments, some hilarious one liners from Autumn, witty banter and awesome characters. It’s also a very emotional story. If you’re the emotional sort like I am, be prepared to shed some tears as well. Alessandra has definitely got a hit on her hands!!
