Matchmaking the CEO

By: Layla Hagen

Narrated by: Jacob Morgan, Emma Wilder

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.

Jake and Natalie

A fun, flirty and addictive romance. Love that a meddling Grandmother fixed Jake and Natalie up. They are absolutely perfect together. I adored this charming story.

Loved the first story in the Whitley family series!!❤️

I got the ebook and audiobook day one. Layla Hagen is an auto download for me (and it only made it better that Jacob Morgan was one of the narrators). I LOVED this story!

If you enjoyed the Maxwell family series, you will be just as happy with this one too. Jake and Natalie are a great pair and looking forward to seeing cameos of their life, if LH continues the tradition of bringing them into the other family stories. I like the set up of the 8 brothers and the dynamics of the different components of the families brought together. And you will love the easy grandmother.

LH books got me through the worst of covid. If you are looking for a contemporary romance, with low drama/angst, great chemistry and a strong family positive vibe (plus a HEA), this is a perfect start. Totally worth a credit. 5 stars for sure. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I can’t wait for the next t story - and please keep the narration team!!

Ah, the grumpy CEO

Cute story. He’s that workaholic CEO who needs to slow down. She’s looking to start her own party planning business and his grandparents anniversary party is just the thing! They have chemistry but is that enough for an HEA?

Great story! And characters!

Oh… my.. word!! I love this book! I am very, very drawn to Layla Hagan books…. And I have gone back and read every one of them. The characters in this book are so down to earth and easy to love. Jakes Grandparents, and his brothers… you might want them as family.

It’s an excellent read, with characters you will want to know more about. Every situation, every conversation, every minute of this book will make you want to read more and know more about all of them. I want to know more about this family, because of the family history. Each of these brother/half-brothers have stories and histories that you want to know more about. I hope this is a series, so that we can know about all of them!!

The narrators were excellent. Jacob Morgan is a favorite of mine!

It was all right.

I have read better by this author. I am just not a fan of weak leading ladies. Just wasn’t my jam.

Cute and fun

Finnaly a man who gets it and wants to keep it. Low on the drama between the lowers. Fun and sweet.

Grumpy Jake meets his match

This book was so good! I can’t wait for the next one to be released! The grandmother in this book is so sly and smart trying to bring her 2 families of grandkids together one way or another. She also wants to help heal her grandson Jakes heart! Her little scheme to hire a party planner is brilliant! I think when Natalie is hired for the party she gives Jake a run for his money the whole way through planning which is the kick in the butt he needs lol. Jacob and Emma did a kickazz job telling this story and Layla wrote an awesome grumpy successful business owner love story.

New series - The Whitley family

I liked this first book in this series about a matchmaking grandmother and her grandsons. Because of the bad actions of the grandsons' father, he had two separate families at the same time. Needless to say that caused some problems. Grandmother wants them to get along and find love and give her great-grandchildren. Her 90th birthday is coming up and she's hired Natalie to plan it. Grandmother thinks that her oldest grandson, Jake, is a match for Natalie and sets them up for a meeting. Jake doesn't want to be in Boston when his business is in New York but he's promised to help with one of the family businesses in order to keep his grandfather from being stressed and hurting his health more. Are Natalie and Jake's family enough for him to stay? Will grandmother's matchmaking work?
Wonderful narration by Jacob Morgan and Emma Wilder. I'm looking forward to more of the brothers' stories.

Narrator

The narrator isn’t Jacob Morgan, it’s Zachary Webber. Or, Jacob sounds EXACTLY like Zachary. Love them both so it’s all good.

love

Love Layla Hagen's books and this one doesn't disappoint! Can't wait for the next in the series!
