In this Older Man Alpha Billionaire & Younger Curvy Woman Romance
Unconventional cocky cowboy Cash Stone may be used to put a price on everything… but that changes when he finds that the one thing he truly wants might not really be up for sale.
32-year-old Cash Stone is a hard-edged businessman that has been in charge of everything around him for as long as he can remember. He is all about work and no play. Set in his ways, he has been disappointed far too many times in his life to do something about it and is now resigned to only do his duty and preserve the prestigious legacy of his family. He has always been surrounded by money and strangers. His name the perfect label to a life of power, success and loneliness. Everything changes when he meets a twenty-year-old girl who has been as alone as he has, but without the fortune to keep her safe and she instantly slices through the armor protecting his heart.
Aria Murphy is tired of being alone, life has been tough on her and in a cruel twist of fate, the irony of Murphy’s law seems to be following her every step of the way. Anything that could go wrong, did and everyone she has ever loved is now gone. Just when she thinks her life could not possibly sink any lower, a friendly hand is extended down to her —a friendly strong hand, attached to a crazily big, gorgeous billionaire who wants to sweep her off her feet and make her his forever.
Resisting is futile, even if she wished to: Cash is a true alpha who will stop at nothing to have her and has come up with an astonishing plan to make sure he can buy for himself the chunk of happiness life seems obstinate to deny him. After all, he owns pretty much everything he sees, so why not sweet innocent Aria as well?

Another great read for me from Ember Flint! This was was a little longer (130-ish pages) than the first two I read. Instalove and completely safe from cheating and ow/om drama.
HERO~ Cash was a great guy. He was focused on his company and ranch, which left little time for much else. Losing his parents and only sibling at a young age, he was pretty much alone in life. He hadn't had a relationship because he had been used for his wealth in the past. It made him leary about trusting others.
HEROINE~Aria had experience a lot of loss in her 20 years. She was sweet yet feisty (not in an alpha way) Even though she was pretty much at rock bottom, she was still trying to fight for her family farm. She wore her heart on her sleeve and knew pretty quickly that she wasn't cut out for the type of arrangement Cash had proposed. She knew she had to be all or nothing.
SEXUAL HISTORY~ Cash was not a virgin but he wasn't a manwhore at all and had been celibate for years Aria was a virgin.
OM/OW DRAMA ~ Zero
STEAM The first half is the circumstances of them meeting and getting together. The second half has some heavy petting and dirty talk- but the first actual sex scene isn't until around 80%-ish. The story covers about a weeks time.
VIOLENCE No violence of any nature
SAFETY Safe- neither are with others after meeting
ENDING~ there was a 1 year epilogue, then you could download an extended epilogue that was 9 months later. The stingy epilogue whore in me could have used a look at their future and how many kids they ended up having and what their life was like
This is an insta love. Reminded me of some of the Alexa Riley books. One look and hero is crazy for the heroine.
What I liked : The Hero is not a manwhore. What I didn't like: The Heroine was a little too easy. She didn't even hesitate when the hero kissed her when he saw her first time.
"I read an ARC of this book and I am voluntarily writing an honest review for it.” I've really become a fan of this author. I love this story. I love that there is no ow/om drama. Insta-everything. My kind of story. Cash was just amazing. He did fight it a little more that the h did, but only showing his feelings. Could definitely feel the love that he has for her. Amazing characters. Great read!
Cash is thankful for the life he has, though he wishes being the CEO of Stone Conglomerate didn't take him away from the ranch so often, where he's just a cowboy working the family ranch. His life is stressful, busy, and lonely, but unfortunately, he doesn't see any of that changing professionally or personally, and the latter is simply because women tend to see his financial assets, and not his own.
Aria, from a young age, has known nothing but loss. First, her mom, not that she was much of one, then her grandpa died suddenly, a few years later, her grandma, and now her older sister, Alma, is gone. Throughout it all, they've had the family ranch, and though some years were more of a struggle than others, it remained theirs...until now. At twenty, and all alone in the world, Aria is struggling, knowing she'll never be able to get the past due bills current, as they'd fallen behind doing everything they could to try and save Alma. But, Aria refuses to give up the ranch without a fight.
Cash leaves his board meeting, disgusted with those in attendance only caring about making more money, and sees an obviously distraught woman being removed from the building by security. When he realizes they're actually hurting her while doing so, he immediately intervenes...and is smitten, wanting to fix whatever is making her so sad, and the electricity between them is intense. Cash, assuming she'll be like the others and only see his money, despite their connection, takes the steps to pay her debts, purchase the ranch, and get a pre-nup written.
"She doesn’t know it yet, but she is going to be mine —no: she already ^×?@;%( is— there’s no letting go, no other way." - Cash
Aria should be furious with Cash for his offer, but it'll save her beloved ranch, pay the debts incurred due to Alma's cancer, and she can go to school as planned...and, in five years when their contract ends, the ranch is all hers, free and clear. But she isn't, because the thought of all that, and being Cash's in every way, having his child, makes her happy.
Cash knows he can never let her go, regardless of the deadline he instituted, that he believes no one could ever want just him, and that he's fallen for her. Aria wants only Cash, but his mood changing between caring and almost indifference hurt, and she can't stay with the man she loves if he doesn't love her.
Can Cash stop judging Aria based on the actions of others? Will Aria see behind Cash's actions that protect his heart? Will Cash and Aria admit their mutual love before it's too late?
One-click now and follow along as two people, both emotionally wounded, discover a lasting love.

This was just an ok read for me. I usually love, love ,love Insta love but this book just didn't hit the spot for me. Cash was just a little too aggressive for my liking. I like OTT alpha males but I just couldn't get into Cash. I wish there was a little more story and a little less sex.
Wow this book get so hot you may need a cold shower I absolutely could not get enough of this I was hooked from the first page great writing job bravo loved it and if anyone is looking a steamy wonderful read then add this one to your list you will not be disappointed I was not, I loved it

Extremely entertaining, captivating, and interesting read. I could not put it down. Wonderfully written with strong characters. I want to read more from this author. I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
I wish just once when the arrogant ass forms a stupid demeaning contract to force a woman to marry him, she’d have the balls to tell him to stick it. Just once... I’d give it ten stars.
The last straw, that is what Aria is down to. The loss of her parents, and then her sister, and now to add insult to injury the bank is taking her ranch away. They may try but this tough little lady is not going down without a fight. Aria finds herself being escorted out of the bank, that is when her new beginning starts.
He is a very big and well known man. Cash has not had an easy time of it at all though, the loss of his parents, the people and women in his life (except for three) have only been around for the money and he is not going to allow anyone close to his heart, ever. When he is leaving the meeting, he is walking into the lobby when he catches sight of something happening, and is instantly drawn to help....her.
The guards who are physically removing Aria from the bank are told to release her, by none other than Cash. These two are very opposite one another, she is small, petite almost, delicate, shy (and a virgin) whereas he is tall, muscular, not afraid to speak up and not afraid to help (and definitely not a virgin.) Cash takes Aria into a private area so she can gather herself together, he feels the need to protect her and hide her tears. When they talk about what is happening, Cash takes the reins. A conversation he just had (and has had a few times before) replays in his mind....marry and have a child. An idea hatches in Cash's mind. Now to set the plan into motion.
Cash "proposes" the idea to Aria. His lawyer is at hand to draw the pre-nup paperwork. Things move quickly and rather hot. Cash finds out that Aria is still a virgin, and the plan is to not take that from her until their wedding night, which is a week away. That is not to say that these two don't explore and get to know one another....but there is something happening, something neither are on the same page for. Cash vows this is not going to end, but doesn't face the whole truth, and that truth starts with his heart. Closed off and all, this is one tough cookie to break. Aria can't bring herself to go forward with Cash, she has fallen in love and she wants a love match, not the on-paper only marriage that has been proposed.
The night before the wedding day, Aria and Cash are in separate rooms, but not in separate mindsets or heart sets. Cash tears up the "legal" reasoning behind them and is starting to go to Aria to talk to her. A knock at his door and there is Aria, teary, and explaining why she can't go through with this. The thing of this is they hadn't shared, and really shared, with each other. They definitely fit VERY well together sexually, but now it is official, they are fitting together well in hearts, minds and bodies.
They have a wedding after all, the beginning of the rest of their happy ever after. The on-paper start is a huge thing in the past, neither Aria or Cash are left with stone cold hearts, and both continue to surprise one another daily which in turn causes them to fall in love all over again. Edit

I volunteered to read this Arc for an honest review. The story is a great Cowboy Romance. Aria is a young woman who's down on her luck, she is being forced off of her property due to lack of funds, since her sister passed away from cancer. Cash is a handsome billionaire who owns several branches, oil fields, and several other businesses established by his great great grandfather. Cash is at the bank for an important business meeting when he hears a commotion, happens to be Aria fighting with two security guards because she went to the bank to confront them about getting another loan for her home. Cash happens to see the commotion, and goes over an offer to support. Finding her to be the most attractive woman he's ever seen he feels a strong protectiveness towards her. This kind of freaks him out. He comes up with an idea that he is going to save her Ranch and have her in the end. He makes the arrangements to set up a prenup for them that states that she will marry him, have his baby and receive money after five years at the end of the relationship. The only thing is neither one of them planned on having and developing feelings for the other. This is a great quick read I definitely recommend it.

This is really an hot amazing and fast moving love story between a female rancher Aria and Billionaire Cash. Both have lost their people and alone, and going to lose the things matters too, Aria's Ranch and Cash's fortune. When Aria is about to lose her Ranch and fights with the bank personnel she finds Cash, he saves her from the security guards throwing her out and an instant attraction peeks their heart. He comes with a business proposition, a marriage with him will help her get money and a wife and heir for him to save his fortune with a pre-nup. She agrees but when Cash finds she is virgin, he decides to take her on their wedding night and have one week of hot passionate foreplay sessions. I received this book as an ARC in exchange of an honest review and I loved the plot very well, how a business arrangement can turn into finding ones destined love.
An amazing heartfelt, steamy and exciting romance with an enthralling well-developed plot that will tug on your heart strings. Cash and Aria entered into a relationship that was supposed to be about business and found that the feelings between them are much more that. The chemistry between them is off the charts amazing and the copious amount of hot descriptive sex with sparks so explosive will melt your kindle. It is a well written page turner that moves at a brisk pace. A little drama, some twists make this book a worthwhile read. The free extended epilogue provided at the end of the book is sweet and left me with a smile at the end. Definitely recommended.

All opinions expressed within this review are uniquely my own & freely given! Until next time... Happy Reading!
Just the right story to read when you're in the mood for an over the top romance!
Cash and Aria make for a sweet and sexy couple. Cash is rich, handsome, and used to getting his way. He's not one for social niceties, but he is direct and when he knows what he wants, he gets it.
It's lust at first sight when he sees Aria struggling with two bank security guards. He takes over the situation and takes over Aria's life from that moment on.
I really liked the fact that Aria fills the empty void in Cash's life, and Cash takes over Aria's financial woes.
Lots of hot and heavy steamy scenes that connect them as a couple. Sweet well meaning supporting cast that round out this story nicely.
The blurb warned me that this was an over the top , instalove, cheesy, unrealistic sweet romance which was exactly what it was! I didn’t care for the long drawn out back history in Cash’s opening POV which I think dragged a little. Aria’s opening POV was a little better and by the third chapter, the couple finally meet and then the pace picks up and the story gets interesting! Cash is totally in alpha mode when he met and rescued Aria. He is the one who is thrown into Instalust/instalove when he sees her. I really appreciated the way the author did not start the story off with him hooking up with someone else just to show he could. A bit of drama with Cash convinced that Aria is only in it for his wealth, but this story is all about the steamy times they share prior to their wedding. Over the top as promised!
He Found His Blue Rose. Every book Ember Flint writes gets better and better, which is hard to do as she was so good at the beginning. I really enjoyed this perfect must read. Cash Stone was an orphan at 2 months old and inherited billions. He has great issues that women only want him for his money! He just wants a simple life on the ranch his parents had loved and owned. At a Bank board meeting he stumbles on Aria being dragged out by security guards. She is just trying to save her family ranch from foreclosure. She also was an orphan and with the death of her sister to cancer she is as lonely as he is. Cash immediately wants to claim and own Aria and sets up a proposal and prenup contract to run for 5 years, which he soon regrets. Aria a naive virgin who had never been kissed needs the perfect match. Is Cash her perfect match? Or will his businesses claim him? Fantastic, highly recommended must read. This is my honest review of an ARC I received.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Cash, is a 32 yr old billionaire who has had his share of woman who are only seeing him as an ATM. He doesn’t expect to ever find someone who will love him for himself. Aria is a young, single woman trying to save her family ranch. All the people she loved have died and she is all alone. When the bank is going to take her ranch from her, she unleashes her fury and is carried out of the bank by 2 brutish security guards. When Cash witnesses this, he is outraged at the actions of his bank. That is the first meeting of the two and he is instantly drawn to her and wants to help her and protect her. This is a quick easy read with lots of chemistry and two people agreeing to marry, give.Cash an heir and after 5 years Aria will get her ranch back, plus a nice cash reward. Sounds easy, right But Falling in love wasn’t something. Cash had planned to happen.

I loved the story of Cash and Aria both of them grew up almost in a similar way. While Cash lost all of his family when was just a 2 month old baby. He was still missing that connection to family. Aria had the connection of family but slowly over time all of her loved ones died while was young. She fought so much to save everyone that all she had left was the family home with all memories they held. But she was also losing that . And then a chance meeting with Cash changes her life for ever and there both able to build together what each of them is missing a family. Till eventually they get what both has been longing fore for so long

3.5 stars this is a cute short story. This was my first time reading anything from this author but won’t be my last. At times I wanted to smack Cash upside the head. Sometimes he came across as a jerk ward of an alpha and sometimes he was sweet. His back story makes sense as to why he’s that way so I did forgive him. Loved the h there wasn’t anything I didn’t like about her. -Safe - virgin heroine/ Hero is not a virgin and it’s been awhile. Only thing I didn’t like was his thoughts about his past lovers even though it was only mentioned once. -no ow/m drama of any kind -epilogue 1 year out but had a link for an extended epilogue but I can’t click on those from my kindle so I don’t know how that was. -steamy scenes -overall a good cute afternoon read.
I have read Ember Flint in the past enjoyed some and thought a few were poorly written. This one is just bad all the way around. The need for an editor is glaring in this book were the research was poorly done and the information poorly used. I got so wrapped up in trying to figure out what the heck this author was trying to accomplish that I really missed the point of the story. With all of the factual errors the characters got lost. It was a bad reading experience and all I can really say is thank god this was an ARC and not something I paid money to read.

This story was cute. I liked the male character, Cash a good bit. Wasn’t all that crazy about the female. And I didn’t like how she showed her butt in the bank. And I’d have liked her to have come across a bit more mature or have some type of specific personality or traits. But it wasn’t a bad story. Too much foreplay though and not enough actual ‘action’. That didn’t finally happen until nearly the end of the book and the scenes were not too descriptive. Like it felt like a bland play by play. I skimmed flipped over several pages of boring foreplay babbling.
3.5 stars.. This is more of a super fast smut read there's little to no character development or really a back drop story it's two individuals that get swept up into primal lust it was entertaining enough for a quick hour or two read but not for a reader looking for a story with a whole lot of depth or an actually plot there is a ton of potential if the author actually wants to go back and fill in the blanks but seeing who this was published a ways back I'm not holding much hope of that happening however as I mentioned previously it's a good smut story to buy time between books or a lunch break

What a great read that I voluntarily chose to review after reading an advance reader copy. Grab a hanky because you may need it at times. This book is well written with characters you'll adore and a heartwarming story line. Two people who are all alone are brought together and their romance is one that will make you feel good. Cash, an older billionaire rancher who's tough as nails and all business life changes when he meets 20 year old Aria.. No spoiler here, but you will love this book.
Cash is used to everyone using him for his money so when he meets Aria he decides to make her a deal she can’t refuse! He’ll do anything to make her his! Aria is grief stricken after losing her sister and now the bank is about to foreclose on her family’s ranch! She doesn’t know what to do until she meets Cash and he whisks her off her feet! Can they find their happily ever after? Great book that I would definitely recommend!!

I really enjoyed this book. In fact it's my favorite amongst the ones I've read by this author. However, am I the only one who ever notices she mixes up the order of words or uses the wrong word in a sentence? It's so distracting! I wasn't going to read another book by her for this reason alone but I got this one for free. It sounded like something I'd enjoy so I read it anyways. I have tbh I almost stopped reading towards the beginning because there were so many examples of this but I'm glad I stuck it out. The story is there.
I loved this short story. I recently discovered this author and her books are safe and make you feel happy after reading them. Cash and Aria both broke my heart a little at the begging because they were complete alone due to their families dying. However, as soon as they find each other sparks fly and they instantly fall for each other. It’s a great book and I can’t wait to read whatever this author releases next.
