"But here, he realized, everyone had created a family of sorts. A family of lost souls."Truly a joy to read, The Halo Effect broke my heart and put the pieces together again. When Braelyn and Noble meet, it doesn't seem likely that they will save one another, as well as Braelyn's son Tristan, from their broken pasts. But with a little intervention from a couple of angels, plenty of natural chemistry, and a bit of faith, this couple just may have a chance at a trust, family, love, and freedom from their pasts.Smooth writing, clever, natural dialogue, wonderfully layered and relatable characters, burning sexual chemistry, the exact right amount of darkness and angst balanced with humor, and a truly wonderful story all come together in this book. I was so excited when I found out about a second book in The Cupid Chronicles and even more eager to read it when I found out Noble was getting his own book. He was so enigmatic in the first book, I couldn't wait to find out more about him. His character exceeds my expectations: a sexy loner with a good, if damaged heart. He's perfectly complimented by the sassy and sexy Braelyn, the protective single mother of Tristan. In a effort to protect their hearts, Noble and Braelyn follow an atypical path for a romance, forming a tentative friendship before a romantic relationship, in spite of their obvious sexual chemistry. Though the path was bumpy, watching the relationship grow among Braelyn, Tristan, and Noble warmed my heart, made me cry, made me laugh, and gave me hope.This story has the perfect balance of darkness and the light at the end of the tunnel. Even with the "paranormal aspects", it remains very real and accessible. With emotional, well-paced and exceptional storytelling, a fantastic cast of characters, (both human and angel) and a beautifully satisfying ending, this is a fantastic book that a broad range of romance readers will enjoy."She took him in, from his rain-soaked ponytail, to eyes black as the starless night sky, then deeper to the man she knew was underneath. The man who could make her laugh with his dry-as-toast humor. The man full of such quiet spirituality. His sense of honor. His everything. He'd quickly become way too much to her."*I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for a fair and honest review.See this review and more at TattooedBookReview dot com
