31-year-old Truman Cox doesn’t really like the glitz and the glamour of the business world, he’s a real man with a Marine past that weighs heavily on his shoulders, but he cares about his family’s company too much not to be involved in it and as the Head of Security he feels his duty to keep everybody safe keenly.His life is one of responsibilities and too many bad memories, but then one day he … day he lays eyes on Ivy and all his priorities change: protecting her, keeping her safe, even from himself, is of the essence.
No way he’ll taint her with the ugliness of his past: he’d rather not have her at all than ruin her.
22-year-old Ivy Cooper is a sweet and shy graphic designer that spends more time sketching than she ever does living.
She’s new to Philly and to love, until she meets Truman and he pierces her heart, making her feel like she really belongs, but he won’t do anything about it.
There’s an invisible barrier keeping them apart and she’s not going to stop until she breaks through and she’s about to do just that.
Truman has been falling for Ivy since he met her, but it’s on the Fourth that he falls for good, finally hitting the ground, and once he has her in his arms there’s no going back, she will make sure of that.
Dear Reader:
Will they/won’t they might be the behind the scenes of this story, but once they get too close all bets are off.
This steamy novella is pure sugary-smut and the epitome of SAFE: there’s NO-cheating, no OW/OM drama and it’s HEA-guaranteed.
It’s a totally inappropriate, quick and explosive ride that will light up your summer sky with a tall dark and handsome protective alpha that also has a beard —you’re welcome!— a sweet curvy redhead, desperate to pull her man out of his dark place, and more heat than should be allowed!
Warning: This Fourth of July there are going to be fireworks all right, but not just the usual kind! These two are going to see stars and so will you!
*Please note that ‘Red, White & Hers’ is part of the ‘Falling on the Fourth’ series, each one of the 4 novellas focuses only on one couple and there are no cliffhangers so the books can be read in any order and also as standalones.

What can happen when the power goes out and you are stuck in an elevator together……………Fireworks!!!!
Red, White & Hers -A Falling on the Fourth Novella by Ember Flint is a fun and short read.
Truman is a 33 year old, ex-Marine who suffers from PTSD after serving overseas. He now is the head of security at his family owned and run tech company. He believes that he cannot have who he wants, Ivy, because he does not trust himself not to hurt her.
Ivy is a 22 year old graphic designer that has worked at Truman’s company for the past 8 months. She is a petite, curvy, book-wormy and quiet young woman who moved away from her family to work at the head office and take this job. She is also going to school to finish her degree and she has a plan.
As soon as Truman laid his eyes on Ivy he was in love and she was his. But he could not claim her like he really wanted to. Instead he looked out for her and protected her from anyone that tried to touch her. He was also stalkerish as he would stare at her from a distance when she would take a break from work. She brought a calmness to his soul in a way that no other treatments had done for his PTSD.
At the same time Ivy was more than interested in Truman. He was big, tough, protective and she wanted to climb him. But she realized that nothing could ever happen as he was an owner of the company.
What Truman and Ivy don’t know is that the fates have their own way of working. So one late night, a shared elevator ride, a power outage that traps them together, Truman looking after Ivy and you have some early fireworks on the eve of July 4th.
The story was fun and flirty with interesting characters that did pop, along with the fireworks. I liked the way that Truman protected Ivy from all harm while still keeping his distance thinking he could not trust himself. Ivy was fun as you could just picture her and the way she interacted with Truman. It was great to read that Ivy was the one that did the “approaching” after the elevator incident. It was a nice change from reading the typical “Alpha claiming her and she is not getting away from him” scene.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

Red, white & hers was a wonderful read. I loved the fact that Truman was so in love with Ivy and how much he protected and looked after her since he met her. Ivy has been in love with Truman, but she doesn’t think he even likes her. When these two her trapped in an elevator, they are both unable to fight what they feel for one another anymore. However, when they are safe, she runs from Truman, and he realizes that he can no longer hide his feeling for Ivy and he decides to go after her and show her what he feels for her. Sweet and safe amazing read this is definitely one of my favorite reads from this author. Can’t wait for whatever she writes next.
I love a good brooding alpha , and that is exactly what Truman Cox is in a nutshell. Both the H&h have strong feelings for one another but find that they end up wasting 8 months pining for each other because they feel like they don’t deserve the other. I cannot wait for the other three books in this mini series so that we can find out who the other Cox’s end up with for the company fourth of July BBQ!!!!
I really enjoyed reading this book. It was a really good story between a military man and a coworker. Truman has served his time as a soldier and has returned home. But he came home physically in one piece.but.he also has PTSD. He is working at the family business but has his good and bad days. Ivy is a graphic designer at the same company. These two crossed paths almost a year ago but neither one has approached the other. There has been alot of stole looks. One night both Ivy and Truman are working late, they catch the same elevator down. The power goes out and Ivy and Truman are.stuck for a little.while. The best distraction is attraction and these two are rescued at the right moment? Thus was a really good story and introduced alot of secondary people, I hope that means more books!

This was a great novella by Ember Flint,,,,
Truman Cox was a Marine but now he is in the family business ,,,, Cox Enterprises is a business which was started and is still running by the Cox family,,,, Truman has a brother who is a year older then he is named Quincy whom is Head of Marketing,,, and also a younger sister named Ashleigh who is in the Mailroom,,,, Their parents died in a jet crash,,,, Truman, Quincy and Ashleigh were on vacation with their Uncle John, whom is the CEO of the company and his family,,, they were with them while mom and dad went on their 2nd honeymoon with a break from the kids and after the crash, they lived with their Uncle and his family ,,,, Truman is Head of Security and takes his job VERY seriously,,,, and he doesn’t really do much besides work, except stare at one of the graphic designers from Cox Enterprises and her name is Ivy Cooper ,,,, all of the family knows about his “love” for Ivy,,, his cousin Theodore, who is his best friend and the CFO @ Cox Ent,,,, they all tell him to go talk to her each time they see him,,, but he’s afraid she will turn him down,,,, and then he has already decided that with his PTSD that everybody is best if they stay away from him,,,, his PTSD episodes are his to deal with,,,, but he’s been under therapy and has one thing that calms him down,,,, thinking of Ivy Cooper ,,,,
Ivy Cooper is a talented Cox Enterprises employee in the Graphic Design Department who has known she wanted to be a graphic design artist since she’s been 14 ,,, she has done everything to get herself into this position since then,,, she has a best friend at Cox named Ava and she is a couple years younger than Ivy and in the IT Department,,,, Ivy’s parents live elsewhere, they are celebrating their retirement ,, but her friend knows something about Ivy,,,, Ivy Cooper has a major crush on one Truman Cox,,, Ava says that Ivy should go tell Truman that she likes him, ,,, but Ivy says Truman is always doing work and breathing work and ,,,, you get the jest ,,,, if Ivy would just talk to him,,,,
This is a great short read that apparently has 3 other short stories you can read,,,, I’m guessing they are going to be about older brother, Quincy,, older cousin Jefferson and of cousin, Truman’s best friend and CFO of Cox Enterprises, Theodore,,,, all by different authors,,,, but if their stories are like Ms Ember Flint’s work ,,,, they are totally worth tracking them down,,,, I would so totally recommend this (and almost certainly the other 3)book to everyone ,,,,

I love a tortured hero who is staying away from the woman of his dreams to protect her! When done correctly, the feels that come out of that emotional sacrifice are off the charts. Ember Flint nailed it! Truman has PTSD from his time in the military. He has managed it with therapy and techniques that help him cope. What really helped him was meeting Ivy. She is a copper-haired graphic designer and he loves her too much to bring her into his life and risk her getting hurt. So he keeps his distance. Little does he know that Ivy has crushed on him from the moment they met. She loves him but is too shy to make a move. Luckily the universe steps in! This was such a freaking adorable and hot read, I just wanted more time with these two. This was the perfect way to spend a holiday, relaxing with this sweet and sexy, safe romance that deserves 5 stars!
*spoilers*
This short steamy novel was perfect 4th of July hit. I loved how Trueman was former marine and Ivy was his saving grace with his ptsd. This book was steamy and definitely insta love and loved that she was a virgin
