About this listen

Jake Whitley and I start off on the wrong foot. And then it goes downhill from there.

After my career implodes, I’m determined to make a living with my new event planning business.

But Jake and I are at odds from the moment I step on his private plane.

He wants to get rid of me. I want to throw his grandmother the celebration of a lifetime…on his property in Martha’s Vineyard.

He’s arrogant and a grump and acts like he owns the world. He’s also hot as hell, but I’d never cross that line. I can’t afford another mistake in my professional life. Not that Jake is attracted to me.

Just when I brace myself for another heated conversation, I discover a completely different man under the façade he’s created. He claims he’s always wanted me.

The last thing I need is for this gorgeous man to tilt my world on its axis. But Jake has other ideas, and so does his matchmaking grandmother.

I really enjoyed Jake and Natalie getting together. All linked to the Whitley brothers’ grandmother. Brilliant narration by Jacob Morgan and Emma Wilder bringing the characters to life. Looking forward to listening to the rest of the Whitley men stories.

Great🔥

Layla Hagen pens another amazing romance novel, and I loved everything about it, from her wonderful writing style to the fabulous characters and storylines she creates to the perfectly cast narrators who bring it all to life, from the pages to your ears. The story drew me right in, grabbing my attention and captivating it straight to the end. The characters are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with, they are easy to care about and even fall for. Jason Whitley comes from wealth but he did not want any part of his father’s business, so he started his own and created his own and built his own wealth. To say he is a workaholic would be an understatement, the man lives and breathes work, which leaves him little time to do much of anything else. Thankfully, his grandmother insists on family gatherings and that he takes at least one weekend off a month and while he retreats to his home in Martha’s Vineyard for that weekend, he still winds up taking work home with him. After a nasty breakup and losing her job, Natalie Summers is having a hard time trying to find another job, so she will do some party planning, and was thrilled to land Jeannie Whitley as client and to plan her 90th birthday party. Jeannie thinks her grandson’s home on Martha’s Vineyard would be perfect and that she should go to see it and it just so happens Jake is going there and arranges for her to join him. Jeannie warns her about Jake’s attitude, but Natalie does not let that phase her one bit, she has handled worse. Natalie waits at the airport for Jake to fly on his private plane, the treatment when she arrived was impressive and so was the lounge, but flying on a private plane did not agree with her and not only because of Mr. Jake Whitley the superior grump but because of the motion sickness it caused. Jake does not know what to make of Natalie, she is not like any woman he has met and is immune to his bossy alphatude. This is a beautifully plotted opposites attract, grumpy-sunshine romance, there is plenty of drama, a touch of angst, some witty humor and dialogue, heart-warming moments, heartfelt emotions and a wonderful romance. it is also a great start to what it going to be an amazing series, each Whitley is just as interesting as the other, with Jeannie and Abe, the meddling grandparents pulling some of their strings. Layla Hagen, thank you for another fabulously delightful story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 And for the fabulous narration, Jacob Morgan and Emma Wilder are talented narrators and versatile voice artists. They had a complete understanding of the characters they portrayed, gave each a voice that suited that character’s persona, sounding believable and just as I pictured the characters to sound. They set the perfect tone for the story, handled the witty banter with ease, without missing a beat. You could hear how much heart they put into their work as they captured all the characters’ emotions and projected them into their performance and had you feeling every single one. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another wonderful listen.

A Delightfully Wonderful Story & Listen🎧

I was drawn to this because it was being narrated by two of my favourite narrators. The author is new to me.
It had me smiling and laughing all the way through. Quite spicy in places, the building love story between Jake & Natalie was a joy to listen to, as well as the introduction to the wider Whitley family. I have already purchased the other 3 books in the series, and am looking forward to listening to those too.
I'm sure that this is a book I will return to in the future ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Loved this RomCom ❤

Brilliant dual narration from Jacob Morgan and Emma Wilder. Perfect, they bring out the humour and story.

Natalie is a happy, full of joy party planner, who meets Jale a grumpy CEO? Natalie does not allow Jake get away with his snarky grumpy ways. I love the Whitley family, especially Grandmother and her meddling ways. The characters are fun, and you just want to keep listening

I'm quite surprised how disappointed I am, after reading previous reviews. Maybe I missed something?!, but I just found this book a little boring.
It is listed under romantic comedy, but does not have a comedy element.
I liked the narration of Jake, but not the character. Whilst charming and sweet in places, the dominance and control factor just made me feel really uneasy.
Natalie I found really weak, submissive and a little pathetic.
This book has 100% 'Fifty Shades' vibes.
Its that's your thing, then this book is for you.

Disappointing
