Can someone be capable of protecting their partners heart when they’ve recklessly mishandled their own?
Twenty-nine-year-old Vanity “Sunflower” Meadows has taken to a life of solitude. Life and love have both dealt her a bad hand. A hand that has turned the bets she’s placed on both into a debt she has been unable to pay. When it seems as if she’s drowning in her alcohol induced sorrow, she meets Tokyo, and he shows her that her life isn’t as bad as it seems.
Tokyo “Toke” Key isn’t living the life he thought he would be at thirty-one-years-old. While his career and business is thriving, every other area of his life has become stagnant. A prominent loss to his family rocks them all to their core, and Tokyo is left wondering to whom does forever really last these days. He’s had absolutely no desire to find out, until he crosses paths with Sunflower.
Two hearts that have been shattered, now half-healed and still bruised, collide when they need love most. But just as they are drawn to each other like magnets emotionally, they are repelled by each other and repulsed by the thought of love mentally. Will they be able to make it last forever this time around, or will this too be an added excuse to not see love through?

Yessssssssssssssssssss I loved every minute of this book. With this read I felt like it was also a lesson to be learned, it taught you how to forgive, love, have patience, and grieve all in one. The biggest one of them all was forgiveness reason being because the person you're falling for you had to learn was the same person who was a part in your life changing appearance, overall I felt like they both handled their issues as best as they could and I also feel like they would also love and adore each other for as long as their hearts will allow. Great read!!!
Wow! I don’t know why I’m shocked by this book because it’s B Love’s heart on a page. The flow of the story, the characters, the emotion ... everything! Yas B!!
This was a lovely story that I thoroughly enjoyed. I loved Toke's sensitive and caring nature as his actions proved how he felt about Sunflower. Good healing read
You truly never know the purpose another has in you life!!!...I loved EVERY THING about this book!!!...THis blossoming relationship gives you a lot of hope,even with loss!!!...
They where so cute. They both suffered great lose and where able to seek the help they both needed to move on and be better people for one another and for themselves. Loved this story!
It is possible to help someone heal while healing yourself at the same time. This story shows it to be true.
Tokyo and Vanity were one in the same and it's crazy how truly connected they were to each other. I loved the fact that religion and therapy went hand in hand with their recovery and evolving into a better version of themselves. Vanity's situation with Robert spoke some truth about trying to mold someone into being what yo want them to be but they aren't meant to be. I loved that this story touched on how verbal and emotional abuse is just as bad as physical abuse. That ending had my heart feeling so light and full of love just like I'm sure Toyko's was!!
Tokyo and Vanity each been through a lot. They both lost a parent and is having a hard time grieving. When Vanity sees Tokyo for the first it was instant attraction for her. I hated that she left Robert mess with her self esteem. Tokyo was showing her that she is beautiful. I was shock to read about her losing her leg in a car accident. Even more surprise that Tokyo was the reason why it happened. All in all. I am glad she was able to forgive him and they got together. Very good book. B.Love all of your books are so good.
I recommend this book to all the hopeless romantics! This is how I get my daily dose of romance. This book will keep a hopeful heart open for the inevitable -LOVE!
As usual......another 5-star read!! Sometimes the best version of our self is seen through the eyes of others. The pain and hurt we carry inside can block the love and blessings that we are set to receive. Vanity and Tokyo are both overflowing with pain, grief and insecurities. Can they follow the path to healing while letting each other in? 1-click and see what happens when their paths cross. You will not be disappointed.
This was a good book, not the best I’ve read from this author but still good. I loved that Vanity and Tokyo learned and grew and made each other better. Robert was a jerk and I was hoping that Tokyo got the opportunity to kick his butt but he never got the chance. This book is definitely worth the read. I guess I wanted more to the story and it ended too fast but I think this author spoiled me and now her books style is shifting.
This story was so good. I loved how Vanity taught Tokyo how to love again and connect with his family again and except his mother's death. More importantly how to let her love him and him love her. I thought it was so beautiful how Tokyo taught her to except her for who she was and her disability to not hide herself with all those clothing and slowed down her drinking to social drinking instead of drowning her feelings with alcohol.
Whenever I read one of B.Love stories I know I'm going to get a really good experience.This story not only gives us that loving ,forgiving and believing in yourself and the man upstairs but yourself.I loved those moments when Tokyo takes charge and let's his woman know he is in charge.(Just sexy) This is,and was a really good story and with some really good moments.This is so book club worthy .
Whew this one was heavy! Grieving looks so different on people. It hurt to see how one day joined them by less than six degrees of separation, a chance encounter. I watched so many people deal with loss abusing different things. How wonderful is God when we allow the process to heal resonate with our spirits? It makes us become our own personal sunflower. Good job!!!
I was on amazon searching for a new book to read when I came across this one. I wasn’t sure if I was going to download it or not but my 2 year old made the decision me and pressed the download button. I. So glad he did because I enjoyed this book from the beginning until the end. I loved Tokyo and vanity together and was rooting for them. They brought out the best in each other and I’m glad the worked everything out.
This book was an example of two broken people healing and becoming whole. B.Love always teaches lessons in her work, one in this piece was you have to heal yourself before you can help someone else heal. Tokyo & Vanity had a lot to overcome. It’s surprising how their lives were intertwined. This wS definitely a ride worth taking.
This right here was so amazing. From the beginning of this story to the end I loved everything about what this couple went through. It shows you that all can be forgiven and I am so glad Vanity did indeed do just that. I say this about every couple that this author writes about, but I really hope we get an update on them. Hands down my favorite couple.
Jesus my heart...she wasn't ready. I needed wine, sweets and tissue for this book. The sadness, The love, The loss, The insecurities, Frankie, Pops, Charisma GahhhhhhhdLeeee, I was a bit of an emotional wreck. I will be praying soon as I turn this TV off for a part 2. I need more. I'm aching for a wedding spinoff.
I was over joyed with Vanity/Tokyo!! I can related to how he felt losing his mom!! I still feel the same way about my brother. I really never grief like I should. But I see every grieving is different. I need to forgive myself and try to go one. I love that they found the forgiving and peace with each other!! Thank again B. Love
Author B love never disappoints. This book took me through many emotions. Yet the most powerful one was the strength and amazing grace of God! Prayer & supplication is the most important aspect of our lives! B. Love always gives me a sense to f closeness to God in all her books. Great job please keep following your heart in your writings.
What a beautiful story of love, healing, forgiveness and growth. Tokyo and Vanity had a connection even before they met. And they're journey to finding each other and realizing that they were what each other needed was emotional and filled with angst. But well worth it in the end. Very good story, with a beautiful message of love!
This was different from any B love books. I loved how sunny and Tokyo love affair began . Robert tore Sunny self esteem down something serious. Tokyo and Sunny were good for each other they both been through so much.
Both Tokyo and Sunny were dealing with pain and connected in more ways than one. It always amazes me of how emotionally unavailable men can be and how it damages women just as much as cheating or beating. Great read!
Listen this story took me to a place I haven’t been with a book in a while. It brought me to tears. Unresolved grief can hinder any relationship. I love the way they healed each other. The power of love is a beautiful thing even when you want to fight it. Read this book.
Vanity and Tokyo both needed healing and they did it for one another. They were both hurting from their pasts, with additional therapy plus their love, they were okay. Excellent job as usual, B!
I LOVED both Toke and Sunny equally! They pulled each other out of that darkness that they were both living in. They found light in and healed each other. Toke taught Sunny that she was beautiful the way she was and she taught he to live.
This book was so perfect I can’t even begin to explain. It was so refreshing. It’s just a shame how people try to tear you down because of their own insecurities. Vanity and Tokyo is a great couple. What a great happy ending
This is the B. Love I’ve missed! Something to get me in my head.. make me look at my own life experiences... make me want to try and apply the characters lessons learned to my own life
This was an emotional story of healing and love. Vanity and Tokyo both had some deep wounds that had to be addressed and dealt with to truly move forward in life. They were good for each other and this was a great story!
