Angel's Halo was a total win for me. I didn't expect such a complex story centered around several great characters but I loved the way it hooked me and didn't let go.Raven Hannigan and her Five brothers run the Angel's Halo motorcycle club. The story shifts perspectives between each character throughout so there is never a dull moment. I felt like the momentum of the story revolved around Raven and Sebastian "Bash" Reid. It's obvious from the beginning these two had a connection in the past that was broken after Bash left town for reasons Raven didn't know...until he showed back up two years later. The relationship between Bash and Raven was one I really enjoyed the most. It was sort of a forbidden fruit type of deal with Raven being the only daughter to a family of men who were and are fiercely protective of her. They even have a rule within the club "Nobody touches Raven". Although Bash loved his fellow brothers, his love and attraction for Raven was something he couldn't fight. He pays the price for his rule breaking ways and is basically run out of town by Raven's oldest brother Jet. Raven and Bash have a lot of past hurts to overcome with Bash being jealous and Raven being hurt he left her after they shared so much. The sexual chemistry between these two was amazing. Even from another characters perspective you could feel their attraction with every moment of eye contact or every touch. I have to say they were my favorite couple and brought some serious heat and great romantic moments to the story.Raven's brother Hawk and her best friend Felicia have an exciting part to play as they rescue a damsel in distress from a rowdy frat party involving drugs and to much booze. Hawk is one of the biggest sluts in the bunch but what he finds when he busts down the door of a closed off room shakes him to his boots. Gracie is just a shy college girl trying to get her degree and just survive in her own virgin world when he sadistic roommate traps her in a dangerous situation. this particular area of the story wasn't sitting well with me but thankfully Hawk managed to be the hero and rescue both Gracie and myself from a difficult moment. I knew by the reaction hawk had (the guy who has seen his share of kinky sh--) when he found Gracie that his world was rocked. Hawk was another interesting character to me. Well actually they all were but I loved the story between Hawk and Gracie. Their story begins as a Nightingale type of relationship but quickly moves into the realm of reality. I loved watching them both get to know each other and form something a little bit more grounded in real facts not just perceived traits. When Hawk informs the club about what happened to Gracie they take matters into their own hands to serve justice. I am such a sucker for Vigilante Villains. How can you hate a character who doesn't want to wade through the BS red tape of the justice system and metes out his own? I couldn't!Raven's best friend Felicia intrigued me so much with her story. She wasn't really mentioned much in this book except glimpses of a relationship with Raven's oldest brother Jet who is serving a term in prison. Felicia had the saddest story I think. Not only is her love behind bars for getting revenge on someone who hurt her but she's missing a very significant piece of herself. I didn't think her tragic attack would have such an impact on me but I found myself a little teary eyed at how absolutely broken she was. She's lived the life of a club girlfriend and it's taking it's toll on her mental well being. Everyone is concerned about her and I loved how they all seemed to stick by her just like she was family even though she wasn't married to Jet. I think I'm looking forward to her story in the next book the most just because of where she ends up.Angel's Halo was my first Motorcycle Club reading experience and I was absolutely hooked from start to finish. The characters were fleshed out very nicely especially since they story was always changing and shifting. I never felt like I couldn't keep up once and enjoyed getting a taste of everyone's back story. There wasn't anything I can say bothered me about the book. I enjoyed every minute of it and wouldn't mind reading it again and again. This had one of the most exciting endings I have read lately. I am usually not one who enjoys a cliffhanger but the way Browning chose to end this one actually made me scream out loud! All I will say is I love a good cross over! *wink* I've enjoyed this authors other books tremendously but Angel's Halo became my top favorite.
