Book 1: The Boss

From best-selling author Lexy Timms comes a billionaire romance that'll make you swoon and fall in love all over again.

Jamie Connors has given up on finding a man. Despite being smart, pretty, and just slightly overweight, she's a magnet for the kind of guys that don't stay around.

Her sister's wedding is at the foreground of the family's attention. Jamie would be fine with it if her sister wasn't pressuring her to lose weight so she'll fit in the maid of honor dress, her mother would get off her case, and her ex-boyfriend wasn't about to become her brother-in-law.

Determined to step out on her own, she accepts a PA position from billionaire Alex Reid. The job includes an apartment on his property and gets her out of living in her parents' basement.

Jamie has to balance her life and somehow figure out how to manage her billionaire boss - without falling in love with him.

Book 2: The Boss Too

Jamie Connors has decided a job is more important than a boyfriend. She's landed an awesome position working as billionaire Alex Reid's personal PA. It is not meant to be a job with benefits, and yet she finds herself in Alex's bed. Despite being smart, pretty, and only slightly overweight, she doesn't believe she's attractive enough for a man like Alex.

Trying to manage work and put as much time into her sister's wedding, Jamie finds herself trying to please everyone. Her sister's wedding is at the foreground of the family's attention. Jamie would be fine if her sister wasn't so bossy, if her mother would stop nagging, and her awful ex-boyfriend wasn't about to become her brother-in-law.

Jamie has to learn to love herself again, speak up for herself, and have the confidence to go after what she wants. She also needs to prove to Alex that she's perfect for her job and for his bed.

Book 3: Who's the Boss Now

How close can you get to the fire and not get burned?

Landing the dream job, working and dating her incredibly hot boss, and at the same time gaining the confidence she's never had, Jamie doesn't think life could get any better.

She's helping to manage a multibillion-dollar company. Her family issues seem to be resolved, and even though she and Alex have to figure out the wrinkles, it looks like they'll be able to be professional at work and romantic after.

Except perfect isn't quite exactly how Jamie imagined it would be.

Quick read, romantic and steamy

While this was an enjoyable read it could’ve been condensed into one book. The narrator was good the stories were somewhat predictable. The author did explore the H and h’s history’s which was pivotal to understanding why they were the way they were.
Story 3.5/5
Narration 4/5
Steam 4/5
Overall 4/5

Nice Story BUT!!!

Any additional comments?

I like the story itself but the narrator leave a little to be desired. This is a story that should have been narrated by a man not a woman and this narrator does a mans voice badly and doesn't have much in the differentially of voices. I'm glad I bought the box set as several of the stories just stop and go the next book. I will continue with the series but after 5 books I'm getting really bored with the 2 different narrators to don't have much variation in character voices and book 4 & 5 have a lot of repeat sentences. That is quite distracting.

Who's really the boss?

In these days of social distancing and isolation, this audiobook series was a great way to pass time while doing mundane tasks. Yes, it is predictable that the main characters will end up together, but that's what makes it a romance novel! I liked Jamie's progression from door mat to asserting herself. Alex also changes his personality gradually over the course of the series. Their story could end after the first book, but I like how the series continues... it's almost like watching a multi-episode TV show in book form.

Good

A lot of potential , the weight lost seemed to over run the one story.
Another the heroine and lack of courage. They were short, giving them a more polished style would be good. The narration was good. Given audio for my review

An ok listen

This was an ok listen. I neither hated nor loved the narrator. She did an ok job with the narration. What I didn’t like was the tinny echo that I could hear in the background.
The storyline was eh. Read it before. The drama was flat and, again, something I’ve seen before. The ending was a let down.
Overall I would give this 2.5 stars.

A story with all the twists and turns you'll love

I loved all the twists and turns in the story . It made me laugh out loud and cry completely heart broken. Watching Alex try and deny the love between him and Jamie . She's a beautiful sexy woman who has real curves bit her Mom and sister try and make her feel ashamed of herself. Alex meets her when her ex tells him she's the perfect Personal Assistant because she's not distracting. She's in the ladies room and hears the complete conversation. The ex is now engaged to Jamie's sister the size 2 complete opposite of Jamie. Alex even from the beginning knows Jamie is more then her size but convincing her will be hard to do especially with his hot and cold attitude. Even with all the twists and turns you cheer for Jamie to find her HEA . Sometimes I was so mad at Alex I wish I could reach into the story and smack him . You'll have to read this book it's so worth it ! I'll not write a spoiler but if you pass up this book you're sure to regret it !

great book

great book hard to put it down. wish it was longer though. looking forward to hearing more books like this one.

Not bad, but...

It’s... not bad. I wanted to know where the characters ended up.

The vocal performance was boring but not unmanageably so.

But the main character’s family were such abrasive dil-wads and she let them run over her for so long, that I’m quitting 22 chapters in.

The writer is very talented - clearly. She’s able to make me care about what’s happening. But I can’t listen to one more moment of the main character’s family being mentally abusive and her taking it. It’s to the point where it’s unrealistic and I just can’t listen anymore.

Managing the Bosses Box Set #1-3: Billionaire Romance

Very Good all 57 Chapters I love and the Narrator Hannah Pralle was outstanding, I couldn't stop
reading the book.

Good over all

Managing the Bosses was a good box set over all. The ending of the first book just cut off and started the second right away. The ending of the 3rd book sucked in my opinion. It left unanswered questions about a handful of things.
