i> A Billionaire Alpha Older Man & Curvy Girl HEA Romance You spend all your life dreaming of that one true love and then you find it and you can’t have it. How fair is that?38-year-old billionaire Xavier Ballantine, ‘X’ for his friends, has dedicated his entire existence to duty: duty to his family’s business, to his dear ones, to an ex-wife he married just to do the right thing and then … right thing and then to his two beloved motherless twin daughters, his sole responsibility since their birth and also his only joy in a dull life that used to have no space for smiles.
And then there she was and suddenly he wanted things. Wanted her.
Soft and beautiful inside and out, the light to eclipse all others, his one true love, she was his from the first moment he spotted her over a year ago, but they don’t belong together.
She’s too young for him, too full of life, too joyful and he has an emotional baggage not even his private jet’s hold could carry.
He could never have her. Or could he?
24-year-old Cleo Morris hasn’t had it easy, but nothing has ever been able to snuff out her light; she just needed a kitchen and time to create and she could forget about anything and everything that ever hurt her, until she met the one person she couldn’t look away from, the one man that now is never far from her heart and mind: her first and only true love.
Serious, no-nonsense and take-charge in all aspects of his life, X is a CEO in and out of his office and looks after everyone he feels responsible for, including her .
She feels safe with him, protected.
Under his gaze, the pain of the loss of her dear yaya and the years of scorn and undermining she had to endure because of her curvy physique and her desire to be a chef just disappear.
There’s only one teensy tiny problem: he is her boss and they don’t belong together.
X is older than her, he’s refined and classy and they don’t share much, aside from their love of food and their partly Greek background.
She could never have him. Or could she?
Leap day is fast approaching and someone is about to jump straight into love, with both feet and without looking.
Dear Reader:
This steamy will-they-won’t-they Leap year novella is short, filthy-sweet and, as usual, it’s a SAFE read with NO cheating.
Come on in, pull up a chair and sit down to enjoy a slice of this piping hot dish that features a madly in love possessive alpha and the voluptuous heroine of his dirtiest dreams as they leap into their happily-ever-after when a passion that’s been simmering for fourteen months is finally let loose.

For a short read, this story does not lack in substance. Cleo cooks for Xavier, older, ceo, and single father, and hot for Cleo. She is a lovely young girl who hasn’t had it easy, and because she is curvy, not sure where she stands in life, until X “shows” her. This is a well written hot story I enjoyed immensely.

Cleo is a chef. Her heritage is Greek. Xavier. As a billionaire who’s heritage is Greek. She was hired to be a chef in his restaurant. love at first sight although hidden, he eventually hires her to be his personal chef for him and his family. His twin girl are in love with her. She’s been working with them for the past 15 months. Cleo is treated like part of the family. Tell Xavier she is his third princess. She’s been in love with him since the day she saw them too. All this misunderstanding and not coming forward with their feelings because of their backgrounds being complete opposite has caused a lot of confusion. Her life full of body shame and neglect from her mother versus his open and complete loving family. Somehow they have to find a way to each other. Cleo needs to stop running away and hiding as to Xavier. So who’s going to turn around and run back first? No clip hangers. Well develop characters sometimes a little too much but it was necessary to get the full scheme of how things were perceived.

This book is about Xavier and Cleo. It contained some of my very favourite elements… a billionaire alpha male and a gorgeous, curvy girl. Opposites CAN attract! I had my fingers crossed for a HEA and plenty of love, passion and steam. Did I get it? Read it to find out. You won’t be disappointed!

Quick read and enjoyable. Cleo and Xavier were good together. Love at first sight for both but they didn’t act on it at first. Good story to pass the afternoon with. Can’t wait to read more from this author.

When Cleo started working at Ambrosia, she fell for her handsome stern serious boss Xavier. When he offers her a lucrative job as his personal chef she couldn’t be happier. What surprises her is the love for him and his family that she develops. And she can’t help asking herself if he could ever love her. What she doesn’t realize is he feels love and do much more for her.
Xavier and Cleo are perfectly made for each other and compliment each other in ways neither expects.

I love Ember! I love her writing style and I love how romantic her stories are. Xavier and Cleo had amazing chemistry and I loved them together. They were so hot and so sweet. I just wish it hadn’t taken over half the book for them to get over themselves.

The story of Xavier and Cleo is steamy and fun. Both lead characters are interesting and likable, the plot simple without unnecessary high key drama. I enjoyed reading it!

I love it when a curvy insecure woman finds herself a muscular condifent man. After pining for eachoter for about 15 months they finally take the step to be more than just boss and employee. And oh my god are they steaming together. Just love this book and hope we get to read the book about Talia and Gabe to, because I think their story would also be beautiful.

I am used to my “older” man meets younger girl novels having more of an age gap than a mere 14 years. But alas, it still fit the bill. Xavier “X” and Cleo will have the reader heating up with their super steamy chemistry. This book delivers on romance, a touch of drama, and I love a story that doesn’t contain cheating and gives me a HEA. Only word of warning: if you aren’t ready for a few dirty pages, then let this prepare you.

So this was a free ARC copy from the author and booksprout for my voluntary honest review of this book and I so enjoyed it from the first page to the last page.Once I started reading this book I just couldn’t stop because I had to see how it all ended, and it was so worth it, it was a great story! I look forward to seeing more from this author in the near future, becauce I really enjoy reading her books.This one has a great storyline and great characters to read about, plus it’s sizzling hot to.The only person that really loved Cleo was her yaya and she lost her four years ago and still feels that loss to this day.Her dad loved her to but it never seemed like her mom did because they were nothing alike each other. And then her mom had another baby and it was a baby girl and she molded her to be into another her .And they both but Cleo down because she was not like them -skinny, she was a chubby child then a curvy woman.So when she turn seventeen she went to live with her yaya, til she passed away. She worked as a head chef in one of Xavier’s restaurants and he loved her food so much that he wanted her to be his personal chef for his family @ his home and she said yes.Plus it was love @ first sight for each other but they never told the other how they felt about each other.And its been over fifteen months and his family loves her .Then at the new opening of his new restaurant a very hateful woman says some mean things and X doesn’t say anything and Cleo runs from the room crying. As she looks back and X sees her eyes, he finally sees the true feeling that she has for him and always has. So he runs after her to stop her and tell her his true feeling about her at last.And from there their lives start to live for each other and their family. And they want a big one, she adopts his twin daughters and then they get married and start for a big family and he helps her start a diner of her own in memory of her yaya.So if you want a really great romance of love @ first sight then go enjoy this one!!!

The author has given us characters that we can care about. In this case, it is love at first sight with Cleo and Xavier, however, neither one realizes that the other feels the same emotions as they do.

Cleo is the chef for Xavier Ballentine and his twin daughters. Both have feelings for one another and both are too scared to let them be known. With fear of losing each other they finally let their walls down and discover the love they have for each other is mutual and very real. This was a great short read.

Full disclosure time I am a huge fan of Ember Flint’s sweet and sexy novella length books because
Her heroes are strong, sexy, growly alpha males
Her heroines are sweet, sexy, curvy women
Their love and attraction is strong and burns hot
Their happily ever after deliciously satisfying.
Her latest book “His Curvy Chef” is all this and more. TBR and enjoy. (I read an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.)
