I was a tad bit confused on where this book was actually going to take me and then it hits. My heart stopped and I started to uncontrollably sob.

This book was fantastic and quite the surprise. It was my first ever experience with this author and it won't be my last.

Declan Moss thinks he has a stalker. He always sees the same woman following him or around his house.
And it is true. He has a stalker. Autumn is obsessed with Declan's safety. She has the feeling that something bad is going to happen to him. So she decides to follow him around.
Declan is pissed about it, obviously. But when he meets her, he realises that she is funny, kind and beautiful.
The story is very good. I was laughing out loud while reading. Until, suddenly I wasn't anymore. I'm not telling anything. Just that it is an amazing way to enrich a story.
Great job!

I sweet and funny rom com like this can cheer up even the darkest days!
I did not see that twist coming and I have to admit that I was knocked for six.....but all was good in the end and I have managed to forgive the author for her near heartbreaking plot!
Not only did I love the fun side of this book but the twist in the genre made sure that I will never forget this touching story!

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.

This was so cute. I love a quirky heroine. You are not sure at first if Autumn is just crazy or if something supernatural is going on. I loved her. I also liked that this started out sweet but took a deeper tone towards the end. It got a bid sad there for a minute but it was a very satisfying end to the story.

Rating 4/5

Quirky, fun, entertaining - a joy full of humor and snarky wit. I really enjoyed everything in this!

I absolutely loved Tripping on a Halo. It was hilarious. Declan Moss is perfectly happy with his life until he thinks that he has a stalker. Autumn Jones thinks that her life's mission is to be Declan's guardian angel. She thinks that she must protect him from death. Declan just wants Autumn to leave him alone until he starts to get to know her. He realizes that there is more to her than her craziness. This story had so many twists. There was definitely chemistry between Autumn & Declan. What a great story from Alessandra Torre!

It’s been awhile since I’ve read an Alessandra Torre book so I cant remember if she writes this way in her others but I don’t like it.

It was really hard for me to get into this story. To say the main character is crazy is an understatement for sure.

I get where she’s coming from but it’s a lot over the top. I knew she wasn’t a “stalker” but the length she went was a little too much.

There’s a twist that most people will see coming. Overall, there were for sure funny parts but this just wasn’t a book for me.

I honestly don't know how to rate this book.

It was mostly sweet and funny. Sometimes it made me smile. Sometimes I even laughed out loud.

But it was also over the top, ridiculous, and unbelievable. No real bond between the characters. It went form crazy town to love in a snap of your fingers.

I did love Autumn and Declan (especially Autumn as i found her endearing) but I feel like this wasn't their story. They deserved a different storyline that was still cute and funny but also realistic.

This is a great book!! It is funny and yet emotional. The characters are all likable and made such an enjoyable read. I don’t think Ms. Torre can ever do wrong. Great writing!

3.5 stars!
This is the 1st book I've read from this author and am now sure this isn't going to be the last! The writing is very good it kept me hooked to the story till the end and it's really entertaining.
Coming to the story, it's a short read and if you love fluffy romance, an adorable heroine, a handsome hero, grear chemistry and some humour to top it all off then you are at the right book.
The story is about Autumn who just lost her mother in a car accident and blames herself for not able to stop it. And after some turn of events she is in the mindset that she is the Guardian angel of Declan moss and starts to apply some really great stalking skills to save Declan from dying. From this how it turned to romance is really interesting. I literally laughed out loud sometimes during this book.
Finally i really enjoyed this and everyone should give this a try.

This book was so funny, sweet and adorable.

Declan Moss is a business man who keeps seeing the same woman over and over, essentially stalking him. He can’t figure out why - Autumn is such a fun character. I adored their families too! Autumn made me laugh out loud so many times. This rom-com was a fun read!

Crazy and adorable! When I started reading this book, I was wondering what kind of crazy plot is this, but as I progressed into the plot, it started to make sense. It was still a little zany but I started looking at Autumn as an adorkable stalker with good intentions, and loved how she was so irresistible to Declan. Autumn was a little crazy, a lot clumsy, beautiful inside and out, very earnest with her feelings and very generous with her heart.

Declan was living a regimented life, living by the numbers and the angles in his architect life. When Autumn burst into his life, she turned it upside down, and he started living a colorful life. It was funny how he initially saw her as a crazy stalker but when he meets her, he’s brought in by her serious concern for his welfare.

These are two adorable characters and Declan is the perfect book boyfriend. Protective, courteous, and dynamite in bed. Other crazy fun characters in the book is Mr. Oinks, a pet pig with a big personality and lots of pounds, Declan’s best friend and business partner, Nate, and Autumn’s sister who wanted the deets on all Autumn’s adventures.

When you think the crazy is over, this book offers you a couple of plot twists to keep you squirming in your seat. At times, the author crushed your soul, other times makes you laugh out loud. This was one crazy and adorable adventure with a couple of angsty moments that brought tears. Totally entertaining, totally recommended. I don’t want to say anymore because this is a book that has to be read to enjoy, it defeats description. This author is brilliant!

Tripping on a Halo is a fun, light-hearted romance for the most part. There are some hitches in the path to true love but nothing that would make you believe the HEA was unattainable.

As you already know I love heroines who are a little on the quirky side and completely embrace their crazy 😍 Autumn is exactly that type of character. She’s so adorable and warm hearted, you just can’t help loving her.

Autumn is struggling with the death of her mother and the conflicting financial situation she know finds herself in. When a number of situations link together all surrounding the delicious Declan, Autumn naturally assumes she is Declan’s guardian angel!!!! 😇

The plot thread was, if I am completely honest, totally predictable, especially as Alessandra places deliberately unsubtle hints throughout the narrative. However, the predictability does not detract from the connection to the story or the characters.

With Autumn determined to protect Declan, she has to ensure she is aware of his whereabouts and routine. This leads to Declan convincing himself he has a stalker!!! Comedy gold in the making for their random encounters.

Nevertheless, there is a definite feel of karma working it’s magic between Autumn and Declan. Each seemingly random encounter and it’s timing adding to the connection between the pair.

Tripping on a Halo will warm your heart as well as tickle your funny bone 😉

What a refreshing change! I loved that this wasn't your typical romance story!

Autumn is obsessed with Declan Moss..... not in a romantic way. But in a way that she is full-on protection mode, certain his death is imminent unless she, as his Guardian Angel, can save him. Thus, her obsession with following him, researching him, and basically popping up on him ALL THE TIME. So, of course, what does Declan think of this crazy woman? DUH, SHE'S A STALKER! Lol!

What a fun ride! I totally loved both characters. This was a lighthearted read until that certain point where the unexpected happened! Wow, did not see that coming at all!

Great storyline, great writing.....I recommend it!

Special shout out to Mr. Oinks and his farts! LMAO!!!

My heart!

I've missed Alessandra's story-telling, and let me tell you, this was the rom-com/unexpectedness of my dreams! I laughed, I swooned, I cringed, I was *shook*. I've never felt so many emotions while reading a book as I did with this one. I was just living for this book!

What starts off as an awkward, stalker/guardian-angel type of book turned out to be one of my favorite reads of the year and don't mind me, but I'll be swooning still all over Declan. That sweet, sweet man. And my heart only grows for Autumn and how damn amazing she is in general!

If you're looking for a quick-paced romance with a lot of laughs, a bit of heat, and a whole lot of heart-wrenching emotions, this is your book!

I've got to say, it's super refreshing when Alessandra Torre writes romantic comedy. She does it so well and she should do it more!

Tripping on a Halo follows Autumn who is following Declan LOL. She thinks she's his guardian angel, saving him from death. He knows she's following him and brushes it off until he realizes that she's more than just a stalker. This sounds so silly but it's super sweet and funny!

In true Alessandra Torre fashion, I didn't see that coming. The twist is fantastic and you get a real feeling of where their relationship is headed. Definitely a sweet read that I recommend.

What a fun read. I loved the characters from the start. It was a little hard to switch between first and third POV, but it was manageable. The storyline was unique and easy to get into. I loved how quickly I read through it, mostly because I couldn't put it down!

Review and release day blitz can be found on *Milky Way of Books*

This was a very funny and emotional read! Declan and Autumn are the two opposites and Autumn has a very deep stalkerish tendency which comes from her 'angelic' power which demands her to always protect Declan. After many hilarious moments and some very strange dialogues, which made me laugh out loud, this couple had quite an emotional evolution. I surely didn't expect the final chapters to take THAT DOWNHILL! I CRIED! Rarely a book makes me laugh the sob my heart out.

But I loved it because it's Alessandra Torre and because I had a great time reading it! ;)
