Loving the CEO

A Friends-to-Lovers Romance (The Whitley Brothers)

By: Layla Hagen

Narrated by: Connor Crais, Erin Mallon

Leo Whitley's story is a steamy friends-to-lovers romance. It can be listened to as a standalone.

When I find out on my wedding day that my fiancé is cheating on me, my whole world comes crashing down.

The only bright spot?
My best friend Leo is by my side every step of the way, offering his unconditional support — including a temporary getaway, which I so badly need right now.
Once in Boston, he invites me to stay with him until I get back on my feet. Temporarily, of course.

And I don’t even think twice before agreeing.
But I quickly question if this was the right thing to do.
Did I forget to mention Leo is the hottest man on the planet?

And now his hotness is front and center, as there’s plenty of opportunities to spy on those sexy muscles when he works out in his home gym...or when he gets out of the shower.

Then the oddest thing happens… Leo offers to be my dating coach to ‘help me get back into the game’.
On our first night out, I break out in goosebumps at the lightest touch or seductive smile. And when we get back to his place, well, we take the coaching a little too far and I have the hottest night of my life.

The question is, am I willing to risk my friendship with him for something more? Especially when I’m not even sure I’m ready for anything at all…

Fantastic narration from two of the best!

I love a good Layla Hagen story. It’s always full of romance, family and lots of laughs. Leo and Tori are couple goals, starting out as best friends before realizing they’re perfect for each other (with a little nudge from Jeannie of course). Definitely enjoyable with very little drama.

Wonderful Friends to Lovers story

Leo and Tory were best friends in college. Now several years later, he's attending her wedding to someone that he doesn't think is good eenough for her. When the worst happens finding out that her fiancee is cheating on her, she leaves and runs into Leo. He convinces her to go back to Boston and stay with him for a while. That's when they figure out that they don't want to be just friends. Leo's grandmother is on a roll matchmaking her grandsons. Now there's only one left. I'm looking forward to his story. The narration by Connor Crais and Erin Mallon was perfect.

Emotion with a spicy twist.

Emotion with a spicy twist. Hagen has all the right moves when it comes to romance. Leo and Tory are perfection. Loving the CEO, holds nothing back. From heartbreaking to soul stirring, seduction is only a page turn away.

I love this Whitley family

What a great story. I have enjoyed each and every one of these books. These two characters have been friends for really long time. but it definitely show why they haven't gotten together before this.I love how the author brings them together. of course if you read any of the other books you know all the whitleys are in this one. Both narrators did a fantastic job. Was definitely a fun story.

Entertaining story and narration

Having enjoyed the previous books in this series I couldn’t wait to jump into Loving The CEO which was a great addition to the series. This is Leo Whitley and Tory’s friends to lovers story and it was well written and entertaining.

Imagine finding out on your wedding day that the man you are about to marry has been cheating on you. That’s the position that Tory finds herself in.

When Leo offers up his place to escape to she accepts not knowing that decision could change their friendship forever.

I loved how supportive Leo was and I I enjoyed watching their relationship change.

I love Ms. Hagen’s style of writing and know when I pick up one of her books that it will be well written story, with characters who are engaging and more often than not will have me laughing out loud at some point.
 
Connor Crais and Erin Mallon did a wonderful job with their narration. Not only are they easy to listen to but they brought the story and characters to life with their performances. I was riveted to the story as I listened in almost one go.
