Halo

Halo by RC Stephens3.5 stars How can she really fall for someone she doesn t truly know How can I even like myself when I don t know who I am Halo was not what I was expecting, this was my first read by this author and I was attracted to the cover and the synopsis in the first instance It is hard to say what I thought it was going to be, but this wasn t it, if that makes sense, but it is unexpected in a good way.Halo and Thomas were childhood sweethearts They met in their teens and their relatio [...]

Could there possibly be a dumber premise for a novel than Halo by R.C Stephens I think not I was going to toss it on the DNF pile but decided I had to finish it because I couldn t imagine that the big reveal could possibly be what I thought no that would be way too stupid, right No author in their right mind would come up with as far fetched a story as this one and expect readers to actually buy into it I m not going to rehash the whole monotonous plot because many other reviewers have already d [...]

I was so intrigued with this book and couldn t put it down once I started Halo and Thomas meet when she was 15 and he was 17 From the start, he was the bad boy who only had eyes for the shy and innocent Halo When Halo s parents get killed in a car accident, Thomas steps up to take care of Halo and becomes her everything But she knew from the start that Thomas was ready to leave he was enlisting to become a Navy Seal It was always a part of the plan and she was ok with that.The years of deploymen [...]

3.5 I enjoyed this but view spoiler how did not one person know that it was Thomas Agree he had been scared but his eyes Earlier in the book he h mentions them a lot so wouldn t there have been a hint of recognition hide spoiler

3.75 stars I really enjoyed this book It s safe and very cute yet emotional as well But I would have liked her to make thomas work for his forgiveness What he did was horrible in my eyes and I think she should ve told him the troubles she went through, and he should ve suffered for his actions

I liked this book but didn t love it The plot was really emotional, a tear jerker It started out good but the story dragged in the end The big twist was very predictable and highly unbelievable.

What can I say about this EPIC book from RC Stephens Well, to start offI absolutely LOVED it The story of Halo and Thomas s romance was gripping, intensely emotional and soul searingly unforgettable Halo meets Thomas, the love of her life at 16, but she knew from the beginning that his dream was to become a Navy Seal Years later, they are married and Thomas has been to war, seen and done many things that mess him up totally much so that when Halo tells him she s going to have his baby, he comple [...]

I will always love you You are the light in my darkness 4 starsI was intrigued by the blurb of this book when I first read it, the beginning hooked me in, and I was completely caught up in the heart felt journey of these characters Halo and Thomas were teenage sweethearts Her home life was loving and supportive, whereas his was violent and desperate, yet they connected instantly and fell in soul deep love, determined to be together forever They survived disapproving parents, loss and devastation [...]

4.5 Stars RC Stephens is on a roll with another great book Halo is the second book I ve read of hers The first was Dick and I loved it as well What I have learned about RC in these two books is that she writes unexpected love stories with very atypical storylines All of her characters feel pure, loveable and definitely relatable Halo, Thomas and Ryder s story is both heartbreaking and wondrous Halo is about a once in a life time love, that was found twice It will make you believe in the power of [...]

Carla s Five Star ReviewWow This book is simply phenomenal and a much needed breath of fresh air Thomas Wells life has been anything but easy His mother walked out when he was just a toddler and left him with his abusive, alcoholic father With every slap and every curse, Thomas became determined to fulfill his dream of becoming a Navy SEAL What he didn t plan for was to meet the love of his life, Halo, at just 17 She was his light in the darkness Fast forward a few years, the two are happily ma [...]

A different take on of second chance love.I haven t read S C Stephens since the Thoughtless trilogy It was good to re connect with this author.

I fell in love with the writing in this book You can feel the emotion come out from each page, I was hooked from the first page.Halo and Thomas met a swim meet when she was 15 he was 17 and, practically became inseparable He was from the wrong part of town with a chip on his shoulder due to a terrible childhood who wants to prove he is something and dreams of becoming a Navy Seal Halo is the sweet shy girl who always saw how special Thomas was regardless of his need to prove his worth He truly w [...]

I m going to start this spoiler free review by saying that I really don t want to give away anything about this story at all, so there will be no quotes, no teasers, no discussions of the plot or the characters in this review My instincts just told me that it would be best to experience Halo organically, so I was careful to avoid anything with spoilers I m glad I did, and I believe it s how I think everyone should approach this particular story.Halo story hooked me from the very beginning This s [...]

Halo by RC Stephens reinforces the power of love in the reader s mind I was intrigued when I read the blurb and could not wait to read Halo I think I ll always have a soft spot in my heart for a bad boy with a terrible home life, since they mirror my husband s upbringing Thomas mother left when he was young and his father treated him cruelly If not for a gentle neighbor, his future could have been nonexistent His dream was to become a Navy SEAL, however when he met Halo this dream was delayed On [...]

My first experience with R.C Stephens and just WOW I can t really tell you what specific characteristic of this book story stood out and wow d me because it all was captivating and intriguing This is not just a romantic journey story It s a story of growth and family and friendship, first love, soulmates, second chances and redemption and life and every one of those aspects is what drew me in and kept me going, reading this in one sitting.As you know from the blurb there is a huge revelation tha [...]

Okay this book was so predictable except for the twist which was predictable PLUS ludicrous There are a couple of good reviews that explain the ridiculousness so I won t go into it in detail Suffice it to say, there is no way you wouldn t recognize your husband in the case as presented Hmm, maybe this author is not for me.

Very niceI knew the twist the moment I read the first chapter and for the first time I am not going to spoil anything I did have a hard time getting into it though It just felt slow And I have to admit I don t really like the NA genre This one was tamer than most but I don t like graphic sex and some of the crude language used And I am older so maybe I just don t relate as well to them I want subtle romance I guess But regardless this was a very good story I loved the main characters, Ryder Tho [...]
