In this Meet Cute Insta-love Alpha Male Charming Billionaire & Curvy Girl Romance

Mason Grant is scowling to himself, pissed off and tired, but he’s about to learn that the baddest of bad days can still turn out wonderful… if you happen to meet The One.

22-year-old Lexi Trevors is having a very, very bad day.
Love is in the air at her flat, in her office and well… practically in whichever direction she happens to be looking, and she’s definitely developed an allergy to it. In an attempt to escape the saccharine madness, she takes a long walk and discovers that the black cloud that seems to be hovering on top of her head just doesn’t want to give up.
She’s cold, soaked through, disoriented and disheartened and, all of a sudden, she’s not even vertical anymore and that’s when she meets a pair of hazel eyes attached to a big, imposing, sexy man that makes her black cloud fizzle out like a popped balloon with a single swoon-worthy smile.

27-year-old Mason Grant, CTO and Vice President of his namesake company, is having a very, very bad day and things got so surreal at Grant Enterprise’s headquarters that he just had to get out of there.
In the span of ten hours, he has dealt with more crises than a single guy could —or should— handle in a single day. After a screaming contest, an attempted coup d'état, several brawls all over the Boardroom, an unpleasant proposition and a thwarted blackmail, the last thing he needs is to end up wearing a cup of scalding coffee all over his suit, but apparently, life has a funny way to always kick you while you’re down, not that Mason cares anymore: as far as he’s concerned, life can keep on kicking as much as it wants as long as it keeps the tiny, curvy stunner with the big blue eyes in his sights.


Dear Reader:

So yeah, they’re having a bad day, but don’t worry: after the cutest meet cute ever, their day won’t end as it started.
In this drama-free, sweet and steamy romantic comedy set on a very rainy day during a very rainy week in Chicago, our heroine may be the one who hits the ground, but our alpha hero is not too far behind, and soon they’re both falling hard.
There’s no cheating, it’s happily-ever-after-guaranteed and, you’ve guessed it already, their romance is an insta-love so fast, your head is going to spin and so hot, you’ll need to fan yourself, fair warning!

Not a fan of the writing style - there was a lot of grammatical errors. The characters weren’t very likeable - they were really cringey and it was just 🤢. When insta-love is done right, I don’t actually mind it but this was not done right in my opinion. They didn’t have more than 2 dates before he proposed to her…ewww. Despite this, it was gripping. Overall bad but kinda gripping except when a chapter was 25 minutes long and all the did was have sex which wasn’t even written well it was also super cringey. Also it was only 152 pages which would usually only take me a couple hours to read if that but this took literally forever. So take from that what you will.

Really Enjoyed!

4.5 Stars

I really enjoyed this story. Mason and Lexi were great characters. Mason was an amazing book boyfriend. Once he meets Lexi his whole world changes and it revolves around her. Lexi was a sweetheart but weary of Mason at first because of her ex. Mason and Lexi instantly connect and fall for each other almost immediately. They were great together and had hot instantaneous chemistry. This was my favourite story by Ember to date and I can’t wait for her next book.

Safety and Spoilers
Completely safe. No ow/om drama. Both are non virgins. H only had casual dates before and h was in a long term relationship before her boyfriend broke up with her. No abuse.

"You’re everything to me, Lexi. You’re my woman, my friend, my lover, my smile, my very breath, my love and my happiness already, but I need you to be one more thing for me: be my wife, now and forever. Be mine always.”

I really enjoyed this story. Mason was so cute and take charge as well as head over heels crazy for Lexi. Great characters.

-no virgins
-no cheating
-no abuse
-dual POV
-no OM/OW drama
-cute meeting, loved how Mason acted
-epilogues at 2 months out & 3 years out

This is a newer author for me but I've enjoyed the couple books I've read by her so far. It's a great feeling to find an author you love. I recommend giving this one a try.

I am voluntarily writing this review for this book I received through Booksprouts arc.

Lexi life started to change after her longtime boyfriend tells her he is leaving. The cloud was still hanging over her to the point of swearing off men and became allergic to cute couples. Making matters worse she literally bumps and fall into a man and his coffee spills all over his suit. Mason was having a horrible day and all he wanted was to get out of the office. Mason didn’t think that things could get worse, one brawl in the boardroom, one blackmail attempt and now the coffee spill all over his suit. Mason helps Lexi up but she was in pain at her ankle. He takes her to an urgent care to take a look. Mason can’t believe that he feels so protective of her further than the injury. Mason takes Lexi to his apartment so he could help her regain her footing. (No Pun Intended). Mason doesn’t understand how this happened so fast within a couple of hours. Lexi is stunned also by Mason as she was not looking since her break up.

I loveeee Mason he is a good book boyfriend sweet, charming, gorgeous and a great guy helping a stranger (h) when she falls and twists her ankle he is already sprung for Lexi he wants to spend every moment with her, he even watches tim burton movies with her and his kid sister. As for Lexi she was sweet, sassy and tiny bit shy about her body (girl you fine) her and Masons chemistry is sweet and hot!!

I did get alittle bored in the middle.. waiting for them to go on another date.. also for a instalove they tool forever to sleep together lol..

No ow/om drama, No cheating, slight secondary chara, sexy time, no virgins

Recommend- yes/maybe

Mason and Lexi are both having bad days, albeit for different reasons. His are from a professional aspect while hers are personal, but, nonetheless, a bad day is a bad day. However, when their paths collide, literally, things are beginning to look up, after he helps her off the ground that is.

Lexi, having recently been dumped by her long-time boyfriend, and on her birthday no less - and right before Valentine's Day - she can't stand happiness. It's not that she misses him, it's the fact that he seemed to have so easily cast her aside. She knows it was for the best, she deserves better than that, in the meantime, though...ugh, love. When it starts pouring, she decides to stop for a nice cup of hot tea.

Mason has not only taken over the family business while his parents are taking a vacation, something that he will eventually do at some point, but he's also watching over his little sister too. However, she seems to be more mature than some of the employees he's forced to deal with. It's just been one thing after another and now he's hoping a cup of coffee will give him the boost he needs to get through the day.

Soon she's falling and he's right there with her, but this time, it's not because she hit the ground.

Is love at first sight real? If you think not, these two will prove you wrong. Will Mason and Blair take a chance and explore what's already growing between them? Is a HEA possible?

One-click now and follow along as two people meet unexpectedly and find their forever.

Ember Flint has written another amazing book. Falling for Him is about Lexi and Mason. They are both having really bad days. After a breakup, Lexi is surrounded by happy couples and she is so over romance. So she goes for a walk. Mason is Vice President of Grant Enterprises and spent his day dealing with a volatile Board of Directors hoping to take control from him and an attempted blackmail attempt. While on her walk, Lexie literally runs into Mason, spilling her coffee on him. Lexi cannot believe how handsome Mason is and he is intrigued by her to say the least. Mason and Lexie had sizzling chemistry. A great story I definitely recommend.

Let me start by saying that this is the first book that I've read by Ember Flint, but it most certainly won't be the last! Talk about starting with a bad day! Poor Lexi and Mason think that nothing can get any worse but then it does! She spills red hot coffee all over his lap! But actually, this is the start of the rest of their lives. As Mason falls for the feisty curvy bombshell called Lexi and she falls for him, the chemistry just sizzles and sparkles. This is one read that has wonderful characters, witty repartee, easy to read as it's so well written and it is FUN!I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Most definitely Recommended!!!

Can two people having equally craptastic days, find love on a rainy Chicago day?

It can if your Lexi Trevors, 22, and recently dumped by her boyfriend of four years.
And Mason, 27, having just been inappropriately propositioned by an employee.

They literally run into each other in front of Sweet Insomnia ine rainy day in Chicago.

It’s all sorts of instant sweetness.
Recommend.

This was my first read by Ember Flint and I really enjoyed it. This is a meet cute, safe-ish romance that really gave you the sweet, warm fuzzy feelings of a Christmas Hallmark movie. Lexi was in a relationship for four years but he was a jerk who made he feel bad about her body. It ended but it left a bad taste in her mouth. Over all the romance and happy couples she sees everywhere, she goes shopping by herself. Mason is so over his day, it just has gone from bad to worse. So when he runs into Lexi outside a coffee shop, suddenly everything turns around for the both of them. She was injured and he takes care of her. They are both so attracted to each other and they don't let past hurts get in their way. They spend time together building a true relationship. I enjoyed the time I spent with Mason and Lexi and can't wait to see what else this new-to-me author comes up with next.

I found this to be a superb storyline that grabs you right from the start keeping you engrossed and on edge throughout the whole book!
Grammatically, there were quite a few run-on sentences that made it a little difficult to read, but the story had a ton of heart!

Great characters that will keep your interest extremely well.
All-in-all, you would not be reading reviews if you were not already intrigued by the blurb, so I will stick with what you need to know: my
You will find plenty of toe curling steaminess with a laugh or two along the way, and smile on your face from their happily ever after.
No cliffy, no cheating.

I've been waiting for this author's next release for a while, and I have to say I was not disappointed. Ember Flint's books keep getting better and better. This book is about Lexi and Mason two people who are having a horrible day. When Lexi gets hurt, Mason becomes her hero. Mason is more than happy to help Lexi because he knows how important she will be to him. With each minute they spend together, he is sure they are meant to be together and decides to convince her to be his forever. Lexi can't help what she is feeling for Mason even though it feels too soon to feel what she is feeling. A safe and beautiful book with beautiful epilogues.

Some of the writing feels a bit stream-of-consciousness, but I read an advance copy, so that might be fixed by release. The meet-cute is adorably cute, and the characters are beyond sweet, but it’s not totally tame; you get plenty of heat with your diabetes. :) The story is told through both of their perspectives, and there’s no drama, no angst, no manufactured misunderstandings—just a sweet love story. There’s something about the writing style that seems a bit juvenile, though, and I never got sucked into the story or forgot I was reading a book.

Sweet, quick read with HEA

I really liked Mason as a character, he’s a stand-up kind of guy and Lexi needs that. Their meet cute is cute but then, they are cute together. Ember Flint has created a small universe where these characters live, with just five others they interact with - so there isn’t a lot of unnecessary noise. Note to author: would love to revisit when Mason’s sisters, Tilly is ready for a story of her own.

Lexi and Mason are having respective bad days when fate decides to have them collide literally. These two make an instant connection that will not be ignored. This is a sweet story about how some things in life set you on a path that may not always make sense at the times but soon becomes unmistakably perfect. Lexi and Mason were perfect for each other and their chemistry was out of this world! Amazing book.

An extremely long insta love
It is quite contradictory, but it's teh reality : it is a point by point description of an instalove which is dissected to the point that what happens in a few hours and days, seem to last for whole months. On the one hand, the description of feelings is important, but on the other hand, it slows down what is supposed to happen quickly.
I found the whole well written and I liked the beginning, but this slowness and the fact that it remains cute from the beginning to the end annoyed me then.

This was a quick read. The book itself was about two people having a very bad day meet and fall in love instantly. No real plot to speak of no drama no angst just a quick and sweet story about two people that find each other and fall in love. It could have used more along the line of a storyline like the ex coming back or the crazy lawyer causing trouble but all in all it was ok. If your looking for something drama free with a HEA all the way through then this book is for you

Lexi and Mason are each having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. Until that is, Lexi bumps into Mason outside in the rain, falling at his feet. One look and they were hooked. This was a sweet story with delightful characters who are very cute and funny together. I'm looking forward to reading more by this author.

I volunteered to read this ARC for an honest review. I enjoyed this story about Lexi and Mason. It's a quick story about fate. Lexi literally falls for Mason when she trips and spills his coffee on him. This leads to a whirlwind romance where neither can stop thinking about the other. Lots of heat and great HEA.

Mason and Lexi haven't had it easy, both are going through stuff, it's been hard so when fate brought them together it was the best thing that could have happened for them. They were good for one another. Their connection was strong, their chemistry was sexy and sweet. They were great together.
I enjoyed this story. Thanks, Ember Flint. Great work :)
