30-year-old Blake Long got a raw deal when he was but two, but he managed to pull through. Now, completely alone in the world, he’s the quiet, reclusive and shy CEO of Long Safeguard, an IT firm he built from the ground up, starting from a beat-up, cast-off laptop and ending with a billion dollars in his bank account just as he turned twenty-five, but his professional accomplishments mean nothing … nothing when all he has waiting for him at the end of the day is an empty bed in an empty flat, just as hollow as his own bare life.
24-year-old Sunny Brooks is a positive-thinking, sweet, smart-mouthed freelance photographer that has been told her entire life that her parents couldn’t have picked a better name for her and she’s always believed it was true, but lately her smiles are starting to lose their momentum. For the last year or so, her boisterous, happy, forever-nosing-around family has been hounding her to settle down and if her beloved, but meddlesome older sisters attempt to set her up with their weekly version of Mr. Right one more time, she’s going to scream.
And then she meets him.
What happens when your smile finally finds a purpose?
And then he meets her.
What happens when you finally meet the one that can make you smile?
They couldn’t be more different, but they just can’t walk away.
Like day and night, dark and light, like the sun and the moon, but also like two magnets, two part of a whole that, upon recognition, can no longer be kept separate.
Dear Reader:
This inflammable, saccharine story is so filthy, you’d better make sure no one is standing behind you while you read it, and so fluffy-sweet, it packs its own calories.
I swear: it’s gonna stay on your hips as much as the big, possessive hands of this adorable, dirty-talking, protective OTT alpha hero stay on the heroine’s curvy ones —which is FOREVER.
As usual, this is a SAFE book, there’s NO-cheating, no OW/OM drama, it’s HEA-guaranteed and features a voluptuous, innocent but spunky heroine that’s sparkly and bubbly as a flute of champagne on an empty stomach and a hero that brings tall, dark and handsome to another level, so brooding you’ll want to make him smile yourself and so uptight, strait-laced and no-nonsense, you just know he’s going to explode when the time is right (and the time is so right!).
Do opposites attract?
Oh, yes, they do, baby!
If you don’t believe me, come and see…
There are two virgins at the start of this story and guess how many at the end?
Warning: hot, crazy-fast insta-love coming your way! Might melt your kindle and your heart too!

Love at first sight! Chemistry off the charts – sparks flying everywhere! The storyline is fast pace, well though-out, funny, witty, and passionate. The characters are loveable; their chemistry is potent, instant, and off the charts; the sex scenes are well detailed and steamy! This book will captivate you from page one and hold your interest until the very end – there is not one dull page to be found. Definitely recommended!

I like the story of Blake and Sunny. Their love at first sight romance is hot and interesting. I would have liked more depth to the characters beyond the hot sex scenes, though. But overall it’s a good read.

This book just became my favorite book from Ember flint. This story is so sweet, and the characters are just fantastic. Sunny is a photographer, and she can’t stop thinking about the man with the sad face. Blake is a very lonely man that lives and breathes work. He is not interested in finding happiness until he meets a beautiful woman, and his whole perspective changes. Sunny and Blake are two of the sweetest characters, and Blake is so protective of sunny from the moment he meets her. Sweet, safe read with a beautiful happily ever after. This story was so good I devoured it in one sitting. This author work keeps getting better and better. I can’t wait for her next release.
This a quick Insta love book that has loads of chemistry between the characters who are well developed and engaged me from the start. Storyline flowed smoothly.

What a great read! Meet Blake and Sunny, these two characters appear to be such opposites. But you know what they say about that….yep, these ones attract! Blake grew up in foster care and literally is alone in the world. He is a self made billionaire at the ripe age of twenty-five, now what to do? He is unhappy about having to go home to an empty place at the end of the day. Sunny is a exactly like her name sake. She comes from a large family, she is the youngest and the last single sibling. She is a photographer that truly lives up to her name. Sunny always has a smile for any one and every one she meets. But her smiles feel like they are fading as her family begins to pressure her to settle down. One day Blake and Sunny’s eyes meet over her camera flash and it is fate. Everything is instant, feeling. Is it true love? Could it be a HEA?

Blake has a rough childhood but he was determined to make something of himself. Also being on there shy side, he stayed away from women. As his business became successful, he always felt like something was missing. He never knew what that was until she smiled at him.
Sunny has always been a happy person just like her name says. But she wants more in her life. That’s when she spots him and her new goal is to make him smile.
Blake and Sunny together are absolutely adorable.
-safe read
-dual virgins
-no om/ow drama

OMG! What a sweet, heart-wrenching & beautiful read! There are not enough words to convey just how much this story really touched me.
Blake is the extremely lonely & troubled billionaire who cannot find any good in the world. Suddenly Sunny walks into his life & BOOM, it’s fireworks all the way! I thought Sunny’s family were especially hilarious!
I wholeheartedly recommend this book to everyone – It’s a beautiful story of how someone so troubled, can find love & happiness. It’s a book you won’t want to miss!
Well done Ember. I cannot wait for more in the future from you!
What do you do when you see your soulmate across the street taking pics of you? You smile and wave boys and girls. Blake & Sunny were a match made in heaven and they really filled that empty part of their lives that they both seemed to be missing until they met one another.
This is the second book I have read by Ember Flint and I do have to say that she is really good at writing a brooding/loner/alpha hero that changes for the better after meeting the heroine. Can’t wait for the next release because I am quickly becoming obsessed with this author! (less)
This is a lovely story that draws you in it is both sweet and romantic and hot and steamy at the same time
Sunny is the epitome of her name she always bring s joy into the lives of people she meets One day while taking photos of skyscrapers she is drawn to a gorgeous guy she sees. He seems so sad Blake may be a successful CEO but he knows that something is missing from his life As these two connect he realises that Sunny is the thing that was missing. As these two virgins connect with one another they form the perfect team as Blake becomes not only a hot as dirty talking alpha but still remains sweet and caring Will they form a relationship that can last and get a HEA You will need to read to see
He is a successful CEO but his life is empty, because he feels like he is missing something. Sunny is the epitome of her name. She always has a smile and sunny disposition. Sunny’s first encounter with Blake was when she was taking pictures of buildings and he caught her cameras eye. his sad face drew her in and touched her heart and it had her coming back to draw the man out. When they made a connection it was like it was an ah ha moment for their hearts. Will this be a happily ever after for these two who connected on a profound level?

There is definitely no lack of steam between these 2 virgins. Whoa baby, talk about hot. The H, Blake was just about perfect in my eyes. Virgin, vulnerable, caring, shy yet alpha, possessive & dirty talker with his woman…

Ember Flint has so many great books but I just might have to say this one is my favorite one yet. I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to jump inside a book so bad before. I just loved the characters, especially my Blake.
Grab this one up for a very enjoyable couple hours.

This book is the first I’ve read from this author. Sunny and Blake’s story is one that hasnt been told yet so I loved that aspect of it. The storyline had me engaged and flipping pages until the end. I only wish there had been a proofreader or editor to review it before it was published. Misspelled word, sentencing running into each other. Just a lot that could be fixed. With that being said, it didnt take away from the story like some do. This will not be the last i read of Ember

Blake is so alone you can feel it all around him. Sunny is fascinated by the sad executive she stumbled across while taking photos of skyscrapers. Drawn to see him everyday, she can’t get him out of her head. When he notices her and is equally drawn to her, it feels like fate. Ember Flint warns that her story is over the top, sugar sweet, insta-love and it is that but on steroids. The heat between these two is off the charts so bring a fan when you sit down to read Sunny and Blake’s story. The sweetness between them left me in a perpetual state of “awe, that is just adorable”. These two people are clearly soul mates and it was a gorgeous, sweet, sexy story that I couldn’t help but devour. Cannot wait to get more from Ember Flint!
