Like the Back Of My Halo (Soaring Bird Book 2) Kindle Edition

Travel, teamwork, and tacos. That’s what it was supposed to be. Not feelings, frenching, and fistfights.
Halo—or Lo to her friends—was ready for something big. A nomad by birthright and surfer by choice, she jumps at the chance to leave her day job and compete for a major sponsorship. But there happens to be a catch. Brady Samson—Lo’s new teammate and travel companion is none other than the handsome stranger she might have made-out with during a recent magical evening. Can they keep things professional while in romantic and exotic places? Or will the small spark they started grow into something worth fighting for? Like the Back of My Halo is the first book in the Soaring Bird series but can be read as a standalone. PG17 for language, mild heat, an annoying ex, and unexpected moments of personal bravery. Prepare yourself for feelings.

Book 2:

THE DOUBLE BLIND STUDY SERIES is an exciting romance series about rock stars in recovery. The Double Blind Study band has already lived the rock and roll cliché. This is life after. Full of humor, heart, and slow burn romance. Each book can be read alone but it is best if read in order. Cliffhanger free.

THE SOARING BIRD SERIES follows a group of extreme sports enthusiasts as they navigate life and love living on the California coast. Slow burn romantic comedies that can be read individually, but best if read in order. Cliffhanger free.

THE IN BETWEEN DUET SERIES is a slow burn unconventional romance that explores the connections of science and poetry. Occasionally intense moments of personal clarity and heartfelt confessions. Filled with touches of humor and real world obstacles. Cliffhanger free.

IN COLD MUD SERIES is a small series revolving around the politics and relationships of horse racing. Not a romance series. Definitely family drama.

NOTE: All of Heidi Hutchinson’s books take place in the Double Blind Study world. Each series can be read on their own but there are often crossover characters you may recognize.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another good one!

I love the Soaring Birds series. I read Steve's book first and am swinging back to the beginning. I have enjoyed all of the characters so far. The women are smart and fearless and the men have big hearts buried under tons of muscle. This book is an adventure taking us with Brady and Lo as they surf the world and lie to themselves about falling for each other. This book has no heavy drama, no graphic sex. It has plenty of swoony lines and some lots. I love getting snippets of the other characters. I can hardly wait for more!

Lots of excess text about the character thoughts. It would be better to have more dialogue. I wouldn't read this again. I liked the development of side characters and love friend and family dynamic.

I panicked when Double Blind Study Series came to an end. Instead of fading into the library, Heidi has brightened my days with her latest book. I got to travel to some of the most beautiful beaches. I got a peak into the life of a surfer. Best of all it was wrapped up in a beautiful story of love.
Brady Samson grew up with a silver spoon. With age it has become tarnished by lack of motivation and desire. Surgical parents want a surgeon for a son. Samson would rather ride the waves.
Lo Fredericks acts as if success and money is everything. She has definitely earned it. She is a successful pharmaceutical representative that would rather be riding the waves. Brady’s parents see her as just what their son needs to become responsible. One kiss destroys any possibility.
Brady is offered his dream job—travel the world surfing, promoting Soaring Bird, a company owned by Shane and Greta. Unbeknownst to Brady, his partner/competition is Lo. How can he do his job, and not wipe out. There is something between them, but then there is the bro code. His brother and Her best friend are worst enemies.
Riding the waves is a great metaphor for their love life, their travels, their friendship. Drama, sweet romance. Their romance made me feel AWESOME!!!!! I was satisfied. It was a zen moment.
And then the wipeout. Jealousy can be destroy everything. It almost took Brady’s dream job. The solution created tension, excitement, thrills and chills. The pages kept turning with more satisfaction, addicted, need for resolution.

There are stories that are fun to read and exciting to explore, and then there are those that leave you breathless. This was one of the latter for me, and I may be reeling all day just thinking about it. I am not one who likes to read sports romances, but this one grabbed onto me from the moment I read about the stolen tacos to the last page which still had me in tears, though these were a bit more happy than the ones before them.

From the moment of their first real meeting, I knew there was going to be something special about this budding relationship between Lo and Brady. I also knew the author wasn't going to make it easy, but she would push me through wave after ominous wave to get to the big one at the end. It stole my heart and my breath with each chapter. It wasn't an easy relationship for Lo and Brady to work through, full of heartbreak and healing accompanied by more heartbreak, and I wondered if it was going to last. But in the end, I enjoyed every minute of the ride, the adventure of travelling with this group from country to country, and the interaction between not only the two main characters but the minor ones also.

I loved the individual points of view, which each brought more depth and life to the excitement of the surfing to come. And the ending was perfection after the craziness that preceded it. I felt close to these characters, invested in their story and it opened me to reading more works by this author. In a word, it was fantastic, and I am thankful for the experience of being able to read it.

I’m not sure how to write a review of this book so I’ll keep it short. There were aspects of the book that I enjoyed. I like the fact that it had to do with surfing, the traveling aspect, and I really enjoyed the secondary characters and the friendships that were there and new ones that formed.

With that being said, I felt the author could have made these characters see more adults, and more their age than they were. They were in their late 20s (close to 30?) but came off as teenagers in my opinion. It is very clean book, no real swear words, no more then kissing...... just a clean book. Not that it’s a bad thing, it’s just not my thing.

In the end I really wanted to love the book. I liked the plot, the characters and all the settings. I don’t think I will read any more books in the series just to do fact that I could not connect with what the author was trying to get a cross and the characters. 3 Stars #2OCCJD

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved this story!

I absolutely adored this book that I’ve been wanting to read for a while. Really enjoyed how the relationship is build between Brady and Lo, how they travel the world together while surfing, how they feel connected to the ocean, how they struggle together, how they are happy together.

The dynamics and friendships are also amazing in this story. Maybe some of the best parts. I grew very fond of this tribe, but specially Steve, for whom I need a book ASAP (pretty please… I am willing to beg if needed).

It’s also quite important to mention the other main characters of this book: tacos. If you feel the need to go and buy all the ingredients and cook some tacos after reading this, just know I had to do the same.

The writing is, as usual, very smooth. I am not sure what magical talent this author has, but when I read her books (it’s been a few) my reading flows in a surprising way. I open them and all of a sudden I am half away through the book.

All the above said, this story can be read as stand-alone, but it’s actually the first book of Soaring Bird series, kind of a spin off of the Double Blind Study series (which you should totally read because the group dynamics and friendships are also GOLD).
