It’s really hard to save a guy’s life when he keeps running from you…
You might be asking yourself why I’m waving an inflatable penis in the air and screaming at the top of my lungs. If I took time to explain, Declan Moss would get hit by a bus.
Let me back up. I didn’t ask for this. I was perfectly happy—and perfectly sane—before I was tasked with keeping Declan Moss alive. It was a thankless job until the moment that my panties dropped and his delicious smirk found his way in between my thighs.
Hello, toe-curling ecstasy. Goodbye, professional boundaries. And suddenly, there’s a new danger to avoid: the falling of my heart.

Autumn Jones is convinced that she is Declan Moss’ guardian angel. She feels a connection to him and a need to keep him safe. However, it’s hard to protect a guy when her popping up everywhere gives him the creeps. He runs from her every chance he gets as she continues to do everything in her power to make sure he doesn’t die.
The truth is, something was going to happen to Declan Moss. Something terrible. Something deadly. Something I could stop.
Full of humor and heat with a nice dose of feels, I couldn’t put Tripping on a Halo down. It was so much fun with its unique storyline and endearing characters, and it pulled me in right from the start.
Autumn is hilarious. She’s a complicated character who isn’t fully understood. She believes she is Declan’s guardian angel and therefore needs to keep him in her sights. I love that she doesn’t care what people think and stays true to her mission. She’s fun and and I couldn’t help but love her quirks.
Declan thinks Autumn is crazy. The way he finds out her identity is comical and he can’t quite understand why he isn’t running the other way when he finally meets her in person. I loved seeing him react to her and the pull she had on him when he wasn’t quite sure about her.
“You’re going to think I’m crazy.”
“I hate to break it to you, but that boat sailed a long time ago.”
“It’s okay. My sister thinks I’m crazy too.”
Even with their outrageous and unconventional situation, Autumn and Declan’s chemistry is sizzling and the sexual tension is out of control in the best possible way. There’s a bit of back and forth but it makes the buildup so delicious and it wasn’t at all frustrating. They can’t keep they hands off of each other and I love that they can’t deny how good they are together.
There so much fun and lightheartedness in the beginning and then you are hit with a jaw-dropping twist. It’s emotional and heartbreaking, and ends up being the part where I really fell head over heels for Declan. He is sweet, swoony, honest, and committed, and shows such a wonderful side to his character towards the end.
Overall, I really enjoyed Autumn and Declan’s journey and appreciated the ups and downs. Even when there was pain, there was love, and the epilogue brings back the smiles, tying everything together nicely.
She had saved him. She had createdthem. Shehad 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 grey.
