A jilted surf instructor and a single dad billionaire only have two weeks to make things right. And it all starts with a faulty Ferris wheel…Landon Langford most certainly isn’t looking for love. In fact, she wants nothing to do with it. And to double down on her independence? She’s desperate to ditch her dull small-town job at the ice cream shack for a full-time surfboard. Happy as a clam on … surfboard. Happy as a clam on her own, her world tips upside down when a man who looks strangely familiar approaches her at the county fair, causing undue feelings to ignite. Oops.
Henry Evan Neal is the lonely and laidback billionaire from Southern Kentucky who prides himself on two things— his exceptional ability to close a business deal and the exciting life he’s built his kids, Ryley and Cohen. But when he enrolls them in private surf lessons on a whim, he decides to take a risk for the sake of romance. Strong business acumen aside, the only thing Henry can’t seem to close on? A serious relationship with Landon.
As Landon and Henry bond over a shared connection, the past comes back to plague them. Will the two be able to tie up loose ends in the name of love? Or will Henry’s final decision on the island cut him out of Landon’s life for good?
Trusting the Billionaire is a sweet small-town romance with no cliff hangers and an HEA.

This is the 3rd book from Emma Sutton that I have read and they have all been amazing! Each book contains a well written fun loving story with so much heart and clean romance, and this book is no different. Henry is left to care for his two kids following the death of his wife and decides to move back to his small town in North Carolina. Landon is a surfer and surf instructor who has given up on love and men. In the midst of grief and rebuilding their lives, they find a second chance at love. Trusting the Billionaire is a sensational story about finding peace and the courage to open one’s heart to love and new possibilities. Readers will fall in love with these characters and story, they won’t want to put it down. I can’t wait for Emma Sutton’s next book release.

It was such a sweet story about family, second chances, and facing fears. You know right away from the beginning that the characters had some serious baggage and this irresistible chemistry. It was nice that surfing was somehow the balm that soothed a lot of the aches of the past.

Landon Langford lives in the small tourist town of Shoals Island, working in a job she hates and hoping to be able to devote herself entirely to her great passion, surfing.
When Henry Evan Neal returns to the city to spend the summer with his two children, Ryley and Cohen, he didn’t expect his heart to be healed from the sorrows of the past.
The surprise he and Landon have when they discover that she is the children’s private surf teacher is very funny. They all connect instantly and start spending time together, until Landon and Henry decide to give the feelings between them a try.
But when the past threatens that happiness, will they be able to overcome and move on, or will it drive them apart forever?
I loved the story and the characters, especially little Ryley. I recommend the reading.
I had a great time reading this book. The characters are well developed and engaging and the chemistry is strong. The storyline flowed smoothly from beginning to the end.

Now I know why this is one of my favorite authors.
She writes amazing stories that I can’t put down.
Her characters are so likable and real.
The plot is always so incredible and interesting.
This is definitely a 5-star book.
Landon has decided after her last relationship ended that she was done with love and has avoided relationships at all costs, that is until Henry walks back into her life. Now it seems every time she turns around she is running into him and his two adorable kids.
First of all, this writer and this story showed me that a good romance story does NOT have to have explicit language or sex scenes to be good! Henry is a widower with 2 adorable kids. He has come back to the coast of North Carolina – to the place where he spent many happy memories as a teenager – for a family vacation. The first day he’s there, he runs into the granddaughter of one of his grandmother’s friends and soon begins to see the possibility of a second chance at love. Emma Sutton does a wonderful job of letting us feel the emotions of her characters. The relationship between Henry (H) and his kids will have you smiling and his daughter, “Ryley with a y” will have you laughing out loud. Sutton took the “formula” of a widower and second love but put her own spin to it with some new fresh ideas for romance.

A great story that’s a joy to read. The characters are fun and easy to get to know and you’ll fall in love with them by the end. You may have a hard time pulling yourself away from this book when you sit down to read so be prepared for that. The author has done a wonderful job pulling you in to the story line and make you love every part of the book.

Henry and Landon ate really good together. Henry’s children are even cuter. Henry comes back to the island after a 5 or 6 year absence and runs into Landon at a carnival. Things just kind of form from there.

This is a sweet romance. I like the fact that it doesn’t include any major theatrics in the story. It is a very relatable to an everyday life. The only hint that the main character, Henry has money is a comment that is made from his young daughter. There are two children who belong to Henry. This helps with the story being relatable. The characters of the kids are so adorable. You have the quiet somewhat shy son Cohen and the outspoken and rambunctious younger sister Ryley.
Landon gets attached to the kids very easily and quickly. Not her typical response to kids. However, attaching herself to a man is not an option. She’s not liking to date anyone. She’s done with heartbreak and all the rest of it that goes with opening yourself up to someone.
A fun story to read.
A great Story with an awesome storyline and fun characters. Landon is in a job she doesn’t love and is scared of love and relationships. Henry is a widower trying to raise his two young children. Their first meeting, after years, is funny and opens the door of closed memories. The children Riley and Cohen are fantastic and add great moments to the story. Henry and Landon both have to work past their insecurities a find happiness.
Widower Henry is just visiting the North Carolina island on summer vacation with his children Kyley and Cohen, while Landon is making a life for herself there. They get wrapped up in a summer romance when she’s giving his kids surf lessons. I didn’t like how he lead her on thinking they would have a life there with her when he was planning on going back to Kentucky. I don’t blame Landon for being hurt and afraid to trust him again, especially after being hurt by men before. Henry’s kids are adorable especially little Ryley with her friendship bracelet for Landon. This was a clean summer romance.
This was such a pleasant and entertaining read from the first page that if it was for my fitbit reminding me to get up and move around I would have read it in one sitting.

Landon grew up on the island, its her forever home. While at the fair. She runs into Henry. An old crush she had back in high school. He moved away and got married but is now a widower. He is back with his two adorable kids, Co and Ry. Attraction hit instantly and not only did Landon fall in love with his kids, she opened her heart to Henry as well. The vacation was only to be two weeks but in the end when you put your heart on the line and are willing to move on in the future, it turns into a lifetime as Henry moves to the island for good.

Henry Evan Neal has returned for two weeks with his two children to spend time with them and to sell his grandmother’s home. Landon and Henry both knew each other but hadn’t seen each other for years. Even though they felt sparks when they touched, could she learn to trust and could he move on.

I always enjoy Emma Sutton books. A sweet clean romance. Landon will teach Henry’s children how to surf. Henry is interested in Landon but can Landon let go of her past and find happiness? No spoilers!

Clean romance. Henry’s grandma bought Landon’s grandma’s house when they were children. Henry spent vacations there. Now he has returned for vacation with two adorable children. Landon was dumped a year ago and still not interested in men. Will their accidental meeting lead to romance? Read and find out. I enjoyed my ARC copy and hope you will enjoy the book.
A widower, Henry, a very savvy businessman billionaire arrives back at his grandmother’s house in NC planning to put it on the market and return to his home in Kentucky within a couple of weeks. But he runs into Landon, a surfing instructor, who has ties to his past. When he signs up his two children, Cohen (8) and Riley (5) for surfing lessons, their lives begin to change. There’s great chemistry between Henry and Landon, especially when he realizes the affection the kids have for Landon and she for them.
I just love these single dad stories with cute young kids. They’re one of my favorite tropes and Emma Sutton writes them with humor, warmth and love. For a feel good story, I heartily recommend Trusting the Billionaire!
