Oh yeah. Frank and Blaine have done it again and given us one helluva scorcher! Picking up right where we left off in Halo (and you must read that one first), it is once again a true steamfest as Halo and Viper get more deeply involved. Both on the surface accepting that it’s just physical but even I could tell that it was becoming so much more than either had envisioned.
The emotions are all there for the taking as Viper and his Angel have sexy trysts that as usual, have me needing a fan. But the lust has become so much more and both of them know it. With nonstop ribbing from the other members of Fallen Angel which adds the right amount of needed levity to this book, Viper and Angel fall into a comfortable rhythm that is perhaps the reason for the hesitation to call what they have more. But there is no mistaking that these two fit together (and I do mean that literally) PERFECTLY!
It was great to see Halo find his way as the frontman to this exceptional band and his reactions to the newfound stardom were very sweet to watch. These boys are gonna be big and I can only imagine what is to happen in the last book of this wonderful trilogy as Viper and his Angel become more inextricably intertwined, both professionally and personally.
Another winner in the erotic M/M world that only Frank and Blaine can deliver, I give Viper a solid 5 stars!
I knew from the first book that I loved Viper and Halo but this book has reinforced this and then some. Watching well reading how they are falling deeper for each other is amazing, as always I was gripped to the story unfolding and as always I’m eager for more. Love this series and would definitely recommmed .
Wow! If you thought Halo was hot, you’re in for a treat with Viper! Not only was this book HOT, but was seriously emotional and insightful. I feel like I just saw a side to Viper and Halo that really rounds out their personalities and makes them real. I admire both men and fell even deeper in love after seeing these sides to them. I laughed a LOT (cried a bit too) and cannot wait for Angel!!
Just when you think it cannot get any hotter… BAM!
Viper is seductively hot! A major page turner!
Cannot wait to read more about Viper and his Angel.
Viper is the second book in the Fallen Angel series by the talented and fabulous duo of Ella Frank and Brooke Blaine. Ella and Brooke are the queens of m/m! These ladies know how to write sexy, heart stopping characters who get under your skin and into your hearts. There’s definitely something special about these rock stars though. Once I started Halo, I couldn’t put it down. I marked off the days until Viper came out and I literally cleared my schedule and read it as fast as I could and as slow as I could, if you know what I mean. I wanted to savor every word, but I wanted to keep reading to see what was going to happen and how it was going to end. You have to read Halo first as Viper picks up exactly where we left off. The boys of Fallen Angel are in Miami recording their first album. Viper has corrupted his angel and they can’t seem to keep their hands off each other. The air around them is electric. The way they look at each other is downright sinful. Who are they fooling? No one, that’s who. Most of all, not themselves. Their casual hookup seems to be leading to more. Much more. But can either of them handle it? Halo is a romantic. Viper is a jaded, cranky commitment phobe. But together they are magnetic, combustible, white hot and damn funny. The sexual innuendo had me licking my lips and fanning myself. I loved watching them play music, come together as a band and a family and get excited about what’s to come. Viper doesn’t know what to do with his feelings for his Angel, but he knows he wants him close to him all the time. Can they let their relationship move from casual to meaningful? Will the band be able to survive the transition. Man, I loved this story! Every single one of these rock stars is fantastic. I love their banter. The sexiness, the music. The foreplay. The fun they all have together. I loved watching Halo come into his own. Learning to give as good as he gets with the band and with Viper. He’s living up to the Fallen Angel name more and more. It was like watching a movie for me. I could clearly see it all inside my head. That photo shoot though… I needed a damn cold freaking shower! I want that picture to be the cover of ANGEL! Which, by the way, can’t come fast enough. My heart can’t take the waiting and after reading this, I can’t wait for more Halo and Viper and I’m counting down the days until we get to see more of Killian, Slade and Jagger. Yes, please!
This is the second book in the “Fallen Angel” series and just to be clear…it cannot be read as a stand-alone. Before jumping into this one, you will need to read Halo, which I myself absolutely loved.
Those of you who have already read the first book, know that Halo and Viper just can’t seem to stay away from each other. Instead of getting bored with each other, the sparks between the two of them seem to be multiplying. They spend more and more time together…especially between the sheets
The band is also getting closer and growing bigger…things seem to be really looking up…in more ways than one.
I think Viper especially had a bit of a grow spurt…emotionally. While this book is still in double pov, it felt like we got a bit more insight on Viper’s feelings. He can at least admit to himself that he’s falling faster and deeper for “the Angel”.
The question is…will he be able to admit his feelings to Halo himself… He wants to be nonchalant about it…but Halo is quite a force to be reckoned with.
I really enjoyed this second book, but after another cliffy (grrrr), I can’t wait for the next book “Angel” to get here !!! Thankfully the wait should not be too long. I also fell a bit deeper in love with all the other band members and I can only hope, they will someday get their own stories…especially Killian
I highly recommend this series !!
My reviews are posted on WendysWyckedWords https://wendyswyckedwords.wordpress.com
With the band making an album, rehearsing and being marketed taking time for themselves isn’t easy.
Emotions run extremely high between Viper and Angel / Halo.
Their journey is not what Viper thought as he has never cared before only had f### buddies to be satisfied then dump them , but this time things have changed dramatically .
Angel /Halo has accepts this is his world now a world of money and fame with no privacy .
He is still that lovable kind guy who needs commitment that goes with seeing a certain someone.
What do you do if your scared to commit to someone do you become an asshole and say hurtful words ?
Can words be undone ?
Maybe sometimes you can delve deep inside and find the right words and shock everyone…
This second book in this series is again a wonderful read with hot sexy bodies steaming up every room — raw love and perhaps a ton of feelings !
A wonderful story line that follows on from the first book Halo.
The band members are a caring group of guys all with big hearts and they all see what is happening between Halo / Angel and Viper..
Viper is not kidding anyone!
It may be a hot book but there is so much more to these guys , kindness , softness , and a little bit like love !
The ending blew me away..
Again Ella and Brooke have outdone themselves..
ARC kindly received from the author in return for an honest and unbiased review.
,
Author Ella Frank & Author Brooke Blaine are extraordinary!
This book is everything.
I seriously love, love, loved it soo much I read it 3x in 48 hrs because I did not want it end.Viper is a sexy, stubborn man and sooo in denial when it comes to his feelings for Halo.
This book will take you on one heck of ride on how Viper and Halo’s connection begins to evolve into something neither one of them imagined.
There are tons of angsty, sexy and straight up swoony moments in this book that are very memorable and also will leave you speechless.
Yes to the tons of sexy times that had me needing a cold shower!
Just go get this book and find out if Viper is more than his cocky rockstar persona he pretends to be towards others and how he really feels about Halo.
Oh and Halo will blow your mind in this book.
Don’t let that angelic face fool you!
I can’t wait for the conclusion to Halo & Viper’s story!
5 popped!
Firstly – hottie alert I just want to lick that cover and call him mine!
Secondly -My oh my, was Viper worth the wait or what?
Hell yes it was!
Halo and Viper don’t go from one big bang to a whimper – oh no, they go from one big bang to another lol.
But boy oh boy, did I want to shake some sense into Viper at times. I mean, gah! Seriously dude!
I admired Halo’s strength through it all. His world is changing so much, and he takes it all in stride, whilst Viper just acts like a petulant child at times, and I wanted to throw my kindle across the room in frustration. I may have yelled at him a few times lol.
Now, being a trilogy, we know that things are not going to be ending for them yet, however the last 15% of the book had me a wreck.
There were things that I thought would happen in this book that didn’t, however seeing where this book ended and where the story is headed in Angel, I think they will happen in that book.
And I can’t wait.
I know it is only a month away, but I need Angel, right this minute.
Once again, Brooke and Ella have captured my attention and left me wanting more. I couldn’t stop turning the pages because I wanted more Halo and Viper. These two are scorching hot together. But it’s not just the sexy times that makes this book a must-read. We get to delve deeper into who Viper is and why he is the way he is. I loved getting to know him better and to see things through his perspective. I cannot wait to see more of him in Angel and to see how his new reality is navigated.
Aside from the relationship between Viper and Halo, the best part of this series is the camaraderie with the rest of the band. The banter and the ribbing and just the way they look out for each other even when they’re giving each other crap. I absolutely love it. I love Viper and Halo, but I’m also looking forward to reading the books of the Killian, Jagger, and Slade.
Viper is book two in the Fallen Angels series by Ella Frank and Brooke Blaine. I loved, adored, obsessed over, and fell hopelessly, totally and emphatically for these two characters in Halo. I thought no way could these geniuses better that effort. WRONG! I am helpless to begin to contemplate how they think up these stories, but if I didn’t have these stories to escape into, I would be in a hell of a place. They not only allow me to live vicariously through each character, it allows me total oblivion to them outside hard realities, and just lets me be with these perfectly flawed men and further enhance my reading bliss. Viper is a sarcastic man with a tough outer shell. He is also the ultimate in frustration. I want to slap Viper upside the head and give Halo a big hug and tell him everything is going to be alright. Halo brings out the mothering instinct in me, Viper brings out the animal. Contrasting characters that a perfect for each other. To Ella and Brooke’s men, I obsessively adore you. To Brooke and Ella, keep em comin. Pun intended. 5 stars.
Explosive chemistry and an amazing story…what more could you ask for??!!
Viper is the second hot as fuck book in the Fallen Angel series by one of my favorite duos, Ella Frank & Brooke Blaine. This is not a standalone as you must read Halo first. Viper starts right where Halo ended. I don’t want to spoil anything so I will make this quick.
Halo and Viper’s chemistry is undeniable. They tried to deny it and it landed them where they are now. In bed. Agreeing to a fling until they were out of each other’s systems. Viper isn’t a relationship guy. Halo is but he knows Viper. He knows what this is. Sex. Hot, dirty, mind-blowing sex. The type of sex he has never experienced. But, is that really all it is?
Fallen Angel is working on their album. It’s their number one priority. Their sound is new, sexy, and raw. Just like Viper and Halo’s whatever it is. And with both they don’t want it to crash and burn. To turn into something they regret. So, can they have it both ways or will they have to choose between a fling or their band?
You guys! This book is so fucking delicious. Just looking at the cover gets me hot. I want a poster of Viper in my room. Ok, I don’t think my hubby would like that but one in my book room will have to do. Anyway, I loved it. The story is fantastic. Yes, it’s hot but it’s more than that. It’s about two men finding their way.
Overall…I haven fallen ever harder for Viper and his angel. I can’t wait for Angel. Thank God Ella and Brooke aren’t make us wait for long. April 25th is going to rock.
Quotes:
“Oh, I plan to kiss you, Angel. I’m gonna kiss every single inch of you.”
“I knew it,” I said, grinning. “You’re a secret cuddler, aren’t you?”
“You play, I play,” I said, and he stared at me for a long moment before shaking his head.
“Someone woke up a fuckin’ tease.”
OMG! Two hot rockers who will keep you wanting more! Ashley @ Carolina Chic’s Read
Viper and Halo are one hot couple with the chemistry out of this world! Feelings are starting to show! Viper cannot seem to voice his feeling for Halo and this is causing more stress than either thought possible. The chemistry is off the charts! I can’t believe how this book ended and what happened in public! I need Angel like yesterday!!!
5 smoking hot stars!!!!!!!
The second book of Viper and Halo’s story. The series should be read in order for best enjoyment. This book is more from Viper’s perspective. The book chronicles the creation of Fallen Angel’s new album. The interaction between the band members is a delight. Viper is a wonderful mix of angst and heat. Halo is so open and sweet. I love seeing where their relationship is going.
The story is wonderful with plenty of heat. The characters are an interesting mix. The story is compelling. I can’t wait for the final book!
Woo wee! What a ride!! Viper is hot, hot, hot!! This is the second book in the Fallen Angel series and it is a doozy! I mean, c’mon! Have you seen the cover?! Didn’t I tell you it was HOT!!
Viper and Halo pick up right where book one left off! They are exploring their new, unnamed, relationship. The band is recording a new album and have been staying in the record label’s estate! Very swanky digs!! I like how Halo gave into his attraction to Viper and didn’t beat himself up about it. He questioned himself since he always thought he was straight, but he knows what he feels and if it’s for a guy, well, that’s ok too. It was nice to explore each other in their own little bubble away from life back home.
Viper has different feelings for Halo as well. He thought Halo would be a flash in the pan and gone, but he’s surprised himself with wanting more from Halo-much, much more! The band sees how different he is with him, but Viper is reluctant to admit they may be right. He knows that Halo is different. Why is he feeling this way?? It can’t last can it?? He is running scared. So scared that he pushes Halo away because he’s been hurt before and doesn’t believe this is real. Aww Viper, why did you have to go and make a mess of this????
I liked book one, Halo, but I absolutely loved book two, Viper! It had all the feels! Gosh, when Viper was being and a** and pushing Halo away, I was like, noooooo, please don’t be so stupid Viper!! But then Ella and Brooke aren’t going to let us down! No way Jose! They give us a stellar ending that gave me goosebumps!! Sheer yumminess!! Now I am on pins and needles for Angel, book three! Go grab this series today and see what all the fuss is about!
I voluntarily chose to review a gifted copy by the authors. The rating and review are my opinion.
Viper picks up right where Halo left off and their story just keeps getting and better! They have chemistry that is off the charts but it’s having to admit that there are feelings and hearts involved that make things complicated. This book gave us some more insight into Viper and why he keeps running from what may be the best thing that ever happened to him. He doesn’t do relationships but it seems he will make an exception for Halo.
I am looking forward to the next book to see where their story goes!
I cannot decide who I like more Viper or Halo?! These Characters are just everything! Elizabeth @ Carolina Chic’s Read
5 Smoking Hot Stars!
Viper and Halo have some major attraction going on and Halo is having trouble with Viper voicing his feelings. This story is sizzling-hot and full of feelings . I can’t wait for Angel to release!
The heat turns up a notch in the continuation of Halo and Viper’s developing story in the Fallen Angel series. Speaking of falling, I’ve fallen hard for this rock band’s journey of ups and downs as well as Halo and Viper’s personal discovery.
Is that all there is? Hell no! These two have thrown down the gauntlet, and I cannot wait to see where this all leads in the highly anticipated conclusion.
Brooke Blaine and Ella Frank have mastered the art of seamless co-writing.
I’m not sure where to start or even if my words can do this book justice but here goes ………I do need to tell you that you have to have read book 1 Halo before picking up Viper you need to know the characters before you embark on this beautifully written love story.
This book gave me all the feels I want and expect in a great read, it’s a gripping story with wonderful characters who aren’t afraid to say what they are thinking, but I have to say this book does have moments where you will seriously consider throwing you reader at the wall, you will have moments when you need to fan yourself and their will be made moments when you sigh out loud…..
I loved watching Viper and Halo (Angel) negotiate their journey as they both realise what they want in life and they finally realise they need to be together and they need to let the world who they are in love with. Oh and did I mention this book is seriously hot !!!!!!
In Viper we get to see that even Rock Stars are vulnerable and that’s just one more reason to love this book, could I tell you which one of these authors wrote what part sorry no but for me that just proves how talented and how well this duo know each other. So excited for book 3 in the Fallen Angel Series.
