Two Chicks Obsessed with Books & Eye Candy

Sharing our love of M/M Romance

Halo (Fallen Angel Book 1) by Ella Frank and Brooke Blaine: New Release Review

February 27, 2019 by Denise

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 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

Amazon – Kindle Unlimited

Ok. I am a fan of both authors. And I particularly like when they co-author. And this book was fun as hell. And sexy. And a little bit sweet. And super hot. But if you are fans and have read their books before- Viper is the new Logan and Halo is the new Tate. There were A LOT of similarities.

Did I still totally enjoy this book? HELL YES I DID!

I love rock star books. They are just fun. A glimpse behind the scenes. This glimpse being the band, TBD, looking for a new lead singer after their original one walked out with no explanation. There is quite a bit of back story there that we didn’t get and I can only assume we will hear about in the coming books.

Halo, yes apparently that is his real name, auditions and blows the band away. Viper, lead guitarist, is immediately drawn to him. But he is straight.

After their big comeback show is a flop, the band regroups. Viper flirts HARD with Halo, Halo shows off that he is a musical prodigy, and they discover a new sound for themselves.

I didn’t really understand the comeback show flopping because the lead singer took off 7 or 8 months ago. That had to have been common knowledge. I mean, it is the age of social media. In fact, you’d think there would have been a social media blitz to introduce Halo. These little things bug me. Luckily, most of these little things happened at the beginning and I was able to move on. Mostly.

This book is a slow burn. There’s a lot of flirting by Viper. Quite a bit of soul searching by Halo. But for a gay for you book, slow burn in necessary. Keep us turning the pages waiting for the magic to happen.

I really liked that because of the lead singer change that the group went with a whole new sound and band name. Too easily could Halo have just slipped into a role.

The other band mates are fun and play good supporting roles. Two straight, one gay. They don’t seem to harbor as much vitriol for the missing lead singer as Viper does. Which is another big clue that there is way more to that story than we know yet.

So yes, I drew a lot of parallels between this book and Try. But I also really enjoyed reading it and want book two. Because I need answers!

✨TEASER: ILY by @authoremlindsey & @coraroseauthor releasing November 14th!#PreOrderNowbooks2read.com/u/49wOaY Why you need to #ONECLICK this book…❤️Mistaken Identity ❤️Hookups to Lovers ❤️High Heat ❤️Murder Mystery ❤️Hearing/HoH❤️Farmer/FBI Agent ❤️Found Family❤️MM Romance❤️RomcomWhoever convinced me that quitting my job as an interpreter to take over my dead aunt’s farm should be covered in honey and left for the ants. Oh wait…that was me. I was burnt out and ready for a change, but I didn’t expect what came with it. An orchard full of fruit I’m allergic to.A bunch of farm equipment I don’t know how to use.And a vindictive, vicious groundhog who has made it his life’s mission to drive me to the brink of madness. But in my quest to find a permanent solution for Michael, I’ve also acquired something else I didn’t expect: a stalker. I should be more concerned that the man offering to sell me TNT has followed me home, but Thorne is the most gorgeous thing I have ever laid eyes on, and we communicate well. With our hands in ASL, yeah, but also with our lips, tongues, hips…and other parts of the body. It’s also increasingly obvious that Thorne is much more than a stalker. With my focus on trying to stop Michael from using his little paws to dig my grave, though, it’s hard to worry about his secrets. But skeletons never stay buried for long, and when everything comes to light, I can’t help but wonder if Thorne is the best thing that will ever happen to me, or the worst. ILY is the second book in the Deaf Hearts series and can be enjoyed as a stand-alone. It’s a spicy, MM, strangers to lovers rom-com featuring a burnt out, not-quite farmer, a tall, dark, and handsome man with a mission and a secret, a groundhog that knows more than everyone else, and a toe-curling, feet-kicking happily ever after.INFLUENCERS: Sign up here for this amazing release: bit.ly/ILYsignup#corarose #emlindsey #kindleunlimited #mmromance The Author Agency ...

My review: 4 POECCity boy with no family and a small town guy with a loving family. One gay, one identifies as straight. And a rundown B&B. Another Hallmark-esque Christmas romance!Listen, those Hallmark Christmas movies are popular for a reason!. They are sweet, there isn't a ton of angst, someone's heart grows three sizes...In this case, more than hearts grow. Wink wink. When Gavin decides to remodel the falling down around him B&B left to him by a grandfather he didn't know he had, he needs help. And in that tiny town you called Cole and his dad. Cole, nursing a broken heart from a divorce after catching his wife cheating. Sparks alight between the two even though Cole always assumed he was straight. Apparently not. Because Gavin stays at Cole's house when they have to turn off the ancient plumbing to replace it.Gavin is begrudgingly charmed by the small town and it's inhabitants. Cole is begrudgingly charmed by Gavin. While fending off the myriad of offers to set him up on dates. You know small towns. No eligible person is allowed to be single for too long.Gavin's best friend brings comic relief but also an ear for him to spill his secrets to. I loved how she was involved but didn't take over. Cole's best friend also makes an appearance, as well as Cole's whole family. Who are, of course, perfect.Grab a mug of hot chocolate and enjoy this steamy romance. ... See MoreSee Less

This is a perfect short and sweet, suspend reality, schmaltzy rom com. If you like Hallmark Christmas movies, this book is for you.It's short- read it in an evening and it might even jump start some Christmas spirit.Sure exchanging one twin for the other could be sticky. But when they are as different as these two men are, it's a bit easier. And I really loved that he checked in with his brother to make sure it was ok.It isn't all totally sappy and sweet. Dawson and Nathan have pretty absentee parents, and sounds like that is the norm throughout their childhood. And while Nathan seems to be unbothered by it, it does get Dawson down. Which is the perfect lead in to Briar and his family in their perfect little town.Worth the read to but a smile on your face and maybe a jingle in your step. ... See MoreSee Less
