I absolutely adored Tripping on a Halo by Alessandra Torre. This book was just such a delightful read and I could not put it down! I was laughing from the first chapter until the very end! It was adorable and captivating.

Declan Moss has no idea what to make of Autumn. This woman seems to be stalking him in an entirely unusual way, but there is something about her too. He knows she is from crazy town, but he cannot deny the attraction he feels towards to her. Autumn is a stalker with a heart of gold and a mission to keep Declan safe, even if he is not aware of it. Their journey is a must-read!

Tripping on a Halo by Alessandra Torre was just so much fun to read. It was charming and sweet and will leave you with a huge smile when you are done. Alessandra can honestly do no wrong regardless of the genre she gives her readers!

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.

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!

4.5 ‘Guardian angel’ Stars!

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!

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 LIVE on wide and goes live on amazon tomorrow. 
It's hilarious, sweet, adorably delusional, sexy AF, with sexual chemistry just lighting up the pages like Christmas.
And then Alessandra drops the bomb! WTF ALY!!!! 
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💜
Trivia Fact: Did you know Pigs have below average eyesight but powerful noses...well then Mr.Oinks certainly never smelt his farts!!🤢

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!!!

Filled with so many laugh out loud moments, just perfection!

Tripping on a Halo is a unique, romantic comedy standalone, about a goofy girl that appears to be stalking a guy when in reality she's just trying to protect him. The story is sweet, hilarious, swoony, and emotional. The characters are absolutely adorable, likeable and freaking believable. Declan and Autumn stole my heart!

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.

Different kind of romance

I found Tripping on a Halo by Alessandra Torre hard to get into. While I think the author was trying for a plot line that was original the story just didn't pull together for me. I know by the other reviews I've read there are others with a very different opinion. I encourage you to read this book and decide for yourself.
I received an advance reader copy via Netgalley.

Court: To say that we've loved Alessandra Torre for a long time feels like an understatement at this point...but here we are doing it anyway! This book was a breath of fresh air and if you're looking for something that has hilarious shenanigans and a little more under the surface than it seems then this is the book for you. Shel: Yes--so light-hearted and then packs an emotional punch when you least suspect it!



"It’s really hard to save a guy’s life when he keeps running from you." - Autumn


Court: Autumn as a main character is absolutely hilarious. She is funny and legit has this idea that her sole mission in life is to save Declan Moss from mortal peril. Shel: When I figured out what was going on I cracked up! Being in her head is an interesting experience (understatement of the year), and as you read and get intel from her conversations with her sister (and brother in law Roger...he's hilarious, too!) and therapist you see that this is where things get a little twisted. Her perception is not reality...but goodness, between plane crashes and a trash switcheroo we wonder along with Declan...why him! Then...we get the added bonus of having Declan's point of view (swoon!), and along with Nate and Nate's sister we get a delightful birds eye view to how this whole story is going to shake out. Nate and his sister was the perfect touch--I imagined them both with a devilish gleam in their eyes--they were so fun loving and hilarious.



Court: As always, Alessandra's writing abilities are on point...she is like a fine wine that just keeps getting better and better. The dialogue is witty and funny, but also life affirming and deep at the same time. This isn't a suspense we're used to getting from her, but this was an escape that I will be coming back to again and again. Shel: I agree. Alessandra has written so much at this point that she's really written something for everyone, inside and outside of the romance community. And just when you think you've got her narrowed down to one genre or sub-genre, she does something new and different. It's one of the reasons I really enjoy her work--I know that I'll like her style and that she'll give me something I wasn't expecting.



If you loved her novel, Hollywood Dirt, we think you'll really enjoy the humor, quirkiness, and sweet romance in Tripping on a Halo.

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 by Alessandra Torre is the best book of 2018! With fun, unique, sometimes quirky characters and fantastic dialogue it is a must-read. Once I picked up the book I did not put it down – at all. It was a wonderfully written romantic comedy with heart-tugging elements.

Autumn Jones is unlike any character I’ve read before. She follows her path and nothing will stand in her way of doing what she sets out to do. That sounds all fine and good, but she’s a bit over the top and a bit unconventional at times. I honestly think that’s what makes her such a memorable character. She has so much heart and can still sometimes come across as a bit awkward.

Now, as for Declan Moss, he is a man’s man and has this sweet as hell center. Like he’s gooey on the inside and sexy on the outside. I don’t know how to describe him exactly, but he’s also a little funny and sweet and I love the way he and Autumn find their way through the journey, together.

Peripheral characters are fun, Autumn’s sister and the sometimes voice of reason. Nate, Declan’s best friend and the man who should get the next book (hint, hint). Even Mr. Oinks leaves a somewhat lasting impression (i.e. so many farts!).

I enjoyed the pacing of Tripping on a Halo and that you didn’t always know what was coming around the next corner, or in the next chapter. I fell in love with all these characters and their unique qualities, the dialogue, and their fascinating story.

BEST BOOK OF 2018! Grab a seat, get cozy, and read this wonderful story filled with hope and heart.

Stars: ★★★★★

Looks like I will be in the minority on this one, but I just couldn't get into it. I struggled with the story line and the characters. I just couldn't find myself getting into this story, and I found myself skimming for parts that seemed important. It was definitely a different kind of read but seemed too all over the place for me.

***5 Stars***

After reading the blurb, hell not even the entire blurb, just the first two sentences and I was all in, because how can you not want to read a book where the heroine has the opportunity to wave an inflatable penis around? You can’t. You. Just. Can’t. So I dove in and I was hooked from the first sentence. This book is all kinds of quirky, sweet and smexy romcom goodness with huge dose of heart that kept me turning the pages until the very end.

Autumn is, aside from being a Guardian Angel, unique, quirky, adorkable and comfortable in her own skin. She has a personality that makes you sit up and take notice and a heart so golden that it pulls you in. Declan is a good man. He’s charming and sweet and has a sneaky sort of charm that intrigues and tantalizes.

Autumn and Declan’s journey is definitely a unique one, understatement, but true, and absolutely entertaining on all levels. From the moment they collided everything that happened between them was unexpected and fun and watching as they spent more time together and became more was all kinds of fun and heartwarming. The smexy was hawt and the bantering between them was highly entertaining. The angst was thankfully low, but they do have quite an obstacle to work through, but it was totally worth it in the end!

This was, hands down, a fun read. The angst was low, but there were moments that kept things interesting. The little twist thrown in was well executed and I loved how it all played out. As for the secondary cast of characters ~ I adored Ansley, she was a lot of fun and I’m hoping we get a little more of Nate in the future and I loved Mr. Oinks. So, if you’re looking for a fun and quirky read, then this is a definitely must read for you!

3,5 stars
Cute and unique story about finding love with your guardian angel. Funny, sweet, and a real big twist at the end!

I'm fairly certain I looked like Buddy the Elf eating breakfast while I was reading this.

Meet Autumn. Six months ago she was struck with a feeling and pulled off some divine intervention that ended up saving Declan’s life. Ever since she’s sorta been stalking keeping an eye on him in order to make sure no danger comes his way. Pretty much she’s his self-declared guardian angel. A chance encounter brings the duo face-to-face and Autumn learns that "every time a bell rings, an angel gets her wings" . . . . Or, in this case an “O Face” ; )

I first discovered this author courtesy of a stabby little agoraphobe who lived in a placed known as 6E. Later my mind was pretty much blown when I realized Moonshot wasn’t only a potential candidate for the OhHowILoveClaytonKershaw spankbank, but by the same author. Talk about a switcheroo! AND THEN! Then she melted my underdrawers clean off with Sex Love Repeat. Whew! Just thinking about that one . . .

Where was I? Oh yeah, I was at the point where I was a megafan so as soon as I saw this title (and most adorable cover ever, amIrightoramIright?) I had a mighty need. My wish was granted 48 hours before release and I since I was left to my own devices for a few hours last night before resuming my chauffeuring and maid services for my children I was able to read this whole thing in about a hot second. So now all of you only have to wait ONE MORE SLEEP until you can get it! And you need to get it. I mean, if you are like me and are looking for an escape during this hectic time of year in the form of a funny romance with loveable characters and smexy smexytimes and even maybe a couple of feelz thrown in for good measure.

All the Starz.

ARC provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you, NetGalley!

Autumn is hysterically funny in her own quirky way with her pet pig and fabulous sister. She starts to "save" Declan from disastrous situations and thinks of herself as his guardian angel. He says stalker, his friend Nate says crazy person. The two have great chemistry, tons of laughs and really sweet moments. Not at all what I was expecting, funny yes but Autumn is truly unique, my favorite kind of heroine. I was lucky to receive an early copy through Netgalley, my review was voluntary.

One word - UNIQUE!!!

With Tripping on a Halo, the author delivered a well written, sweet and original tale that is as charming as it is enchanting.

The feel of this story is comparable to Love, Chloe - a sweet and easy read, perfect for in between heavier reads. A funny story, about a guardian angle that has her hands full from keeping Declan Moss alive. Of course the way she goes about is as cute as it is entertaining. Not just for the reader- lol.

If you love to be entertained by a quirky and sassy heroine. By witty banter and hilarity ensuing shenanigans, and a couple that was a match made in heaven, this is the book for you!

It will entertain you, make you laugh out loud, smile and chuckle, maybe even roll your eyes - but hey that's what a rom-com is there for. It's the easiness and relaxed manner that makes these stories such a wonderful treat. There is no heavy lifting. It's just pure fun!!!

Reading Tripping on a Halo was a lot of fun and exactly what I needed.
