Forever with the CEO

A Fake-Marriage Romance (The Whitley Brothers)

De: Layla Hagen

Narrado por: CJ Bloom, Aiden Snow

It began as a fake marriage. It became so much more.

I’m Nick Whitley, CEO of Whitley Sports Industries. I’m a bonafide bachelor, and never intended to settle down. But I’m also a dependable kind of guy and do what’s right when I can.

So when my best friend and his wife pass away, leaving behind their twins, I do everything possible to help out their aunt—Allison . She’s gorgeous and funny and someone I enjoy being around. I even propose marriage when the kids’ grandparents unexpectedly contest the custody. It’s the only way Allison can win.

To make things legitimate, we need to live in one home, and sleep in one bed. Things escalate, but I’m all in. Not that it’s any hardship—Allison is damn perfect, and the twins are worming their way into my heart. I enjoy reading them bedtime stories, eating pizza, while watching the same cartoons for the millionth time. I’m ready to adopt them tomorrow if they’d have me. Now I’ve got to convince Allison that I’m the man for her, because I know without a shadow of a doubt that she’s the woman for me.

Captivating.

From the heart tingles of romance to the fire of attraction, Forever with the CEO  is captivating. Hagen pushes the boundaries of emotion with Nick and Allison. The perfect blend of sweet and spicy. Amidst the pain of uncertainty and loss, bonds are forged. A heartbreaker that brings the endearing moments alive and finds heartwarming waiting on the other side.

Perfect ending to the series

This is the last Whitley brother to get his happy forever after. I have enjoyed this series and this book has tied them all together. The narration as always was great.

Perfect ending to the Whitley series

Forever with the CEO is sadly the last book in the Whitley series but well worth the wait. It’s romantic, it’s spicy, but it’s full of heart. Another Layla Hagen hit!

A great book!

Nick and Allison are amazing…. He steps up to help her when she is raising her nieces… it’s a natural type of protection and wanting to take care of her that evolves. Layla Hagen gives readers another book to believe there are good people in the world who want to make others happy!

Forever With The CEO

This book was very bittersweet. Nick was the last Whitley that needed a happy ever after. I think his story might be my favorite. The way he and Allison bonded and took care of the twins was everything. The Whitleys had a lot to overcome, but all of the brothers had amazing stories. I think this might be my favorite series by Layla Hagen.

Super hot and sweet

These Whitley's never learn that love will hit them when they least expect it. This time it was Nick's turn, what started with the good intention to help Allison, soon enough started to evolve into something they were not expecting. I voluntarily reviewed an ALC of this book.

what a perfect story

this was a perfect story for the last one of the Whitley Brothers I have loved every single one of these stories but this one was so cute and sexy you kind of felt sad in the beginning but it definitely changed because characters grew this was one that I couldn't stop listening to and I enjoyed every minute of it

Loved everything about this book

Layla Hagen has given me a family I can’t get enough of with The Whitley Brothers and I was excited for Nick Whitley and Allison’s story in Forever With The CEO ( The Whitley Brothers #8). I knew it was going to take a very special lady to win Nick’s heart and what i got was not only a special lady but also a very special read that stayed with me long after the final word was read.
CJ Bloom and Aiden Snow did a great job bringing the characters and their story to life. They were spot on with emotions and the love as well as being very easy to listen too.
What starts out as a fake marriage soon turns into so much more for Nick and Allison and it was a joy to join their emotional roller coaster.
I was captivated by this heartwarming and at times heartbreaking journey, I fell hard and fast for Nick and I want Allison as my new best friend but what takes this book to the next level is the camaraderie the extended Whitley clan share. A wonderful addition to one of my favourite series.

A great addition to the series

Having enjoyed the previous books in this series I couldn’t wait to jump into Forever With The CEO which was a fabulous addition to the series.

This is Nick Whitley and Allison’s emotional roller coaster of a story. It was well written and entertaining and I was quickly drawn into the story that Ms. Hagen wove.

What starts out as a fake marriage to help Allison, quickly morphs into so much more.

I loved how supportive Nick was, he was prepared to put everything on the line, to help Allison, totally swoon worthy.

The characters were engaging and I found myself moved to tears, laughing and swooning whilst reading this book.

CJ Bloom and Aiden Snow 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 hooked on the story as I listened in almost one go.

Not only are they easy to listen to but they brought the story and characters to life with their performances. The narration did justice to the story and characters that the author created

Best CEO & CFO fake-marriage romance yet!

Overall: 5 stars
What did I like about this book?
Tagged as original / easy-to-read (listen to) / page turner / romantic / steamy / wonderful characters / witty / entertaining / happily ever after

Performance: 5 stars
I was very satisfied with the individual performances by 2 narrators CJ Bloom and Aiden Snow and would enjoy listening to another novel featuring either of them. Both voice actors were good with pacing, tone, and opposite gender voices.

Story: 5 stars
If I'm not mistaken, I haven't read too many fake-marriage romances to date. I really liked how our heroine and hero were acquaintances first who were united through their relationship to the deceased parents of the two orphaned kids. Author Layla Hagen is so talented at highlighting the most charming personality traits of the children characters featured in her books, and both narrators were able to capture their appeal.

Final verdict:
This was the best CEO & CFO fake-marriage trope novel that I have read to date. I highly recommend it and look forward to the next Whitley Brothers novel.
