Publisher's summary

Stephen Maxfield has the chance to save the business his father built, and only one woman stands in his way.

With Duncan Enterprises crumbling, Stephen Maxfield knows that a lucrative building contract could be the ticket to saving the family company. He's always been regarded as the unpredictable brother, and this time is no different. He's prepared to do what he thinks is right - even if it means ousting his own father. Stephen faces another obstacle, however, in the form of Angelia Lopez, the gorgeous Duncan VP with her own plans to save the company.

Angie Lopez has been groomed as Duncan's successor, and she's convinced that selling off pieces of the company is the way to save it. She's busy making deals to break apart the business, while hoping that it brings together the Maxfield family. But when she comes up against Stephen Maxfield - all six feet eight inches of him - she'll have to work harder than ever to keep her focus. Angie's been burned by men in the past, and Stephen sets her aflame.

Stephen has no time for romance, and Angie is on a dating time-out. But if the two can see beyond their business plans, they just may find they're the perfect match.

Not Your Typical Boss/Employee Office Romance

Any additional comments?

I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom. This was my first experience with a Leslie North audiobook. I have several of her ebooks, but don't have time to sit and read with my actual eyes, so when I was presented with a chance to listen to one, I jumped at the chance. This was also my first time listening to Connor Brown as a narrator and loved his voice. It was very pleasant to listen to and he did a great job bringing the characters and story to life by his performance. The story and narrator were so engaging that I am eager for the next two books. This audiobook was a perfect length for a shorter

Not keen on the narrator

I really enjoyed the story. I had previously listened to Book 2 before Book 1. Didn't really make a difference. Leslie did a great job with the story and the characters. I didn't really care for the narrator. He rushes his words and then stops. Very disturbing. I sped up the pace of the audio, just to get through it. While doing that, I wasn't really able to concentrate on the story as well as I wished I could have. Oh well, I will just have to add him to my list of narrators not to listen to. He wasn't as bad as some. I can listen to him, if I have to. Some I can't even listen to. Some others make my stomach ache. Still, Leslie North is a very talented writer.

A great start to the series...

This book does a great job of setting up the series, it introduces a fabulous cast of characters, I'm looking forward to what happens in the other books.

In this book we see lots of interesting interactions between the characters, lots of mystery and a fair bit of jumping to conclusions (how exhausting :-) ) which combined to make an interesting story line.

The narration was well done with distinct character voices and a lovely rhythm.

I've listened to several of Leslie Norths books now and when I find a new one it's not long before I'm listening to it.

Note: This book was provided free by the author/narrator/publisher in exchange for an unbiased review.

Great Listen!

I have purchased several books by Leslie North and have a few of her audiobooks. This is my favorite audiobook by her. The narrator did a great job with the story and was the right fit in my opinion. I hope that Connor Brown will do more audiobooks for Leslie North as both are very talented. I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, narrator, and/or publisher.

Strange Story

I got this book via audiobook boom. This is a story of a family that has been torn apart because of a very autocratic father who the sons believe that caused the death of their mother. The story begins with the three brothers are called together because the father is trying to sell off the company. The VP of the company is a woman that the father has promised a promotion if she will do what he wants her to do. Steven, the older son is the center of the story and he is being attacked from all sides. The narrator is pretty good. But the story switches tenses throughout and sometimes even within the same sentence. I find it hard to believe that a ten-year-old is allowed to talk like that and the Dad apologizes.

Nice introduction.

This is the first story by Leslie North and I did enjoy it. Am looking forward to what happens with the rest of the Maxdield boys.
Connor did a great job. Made it very easy to listen too.
Overall enjoyed this and am moving on the the next Mazfield.

And these are the day's of our lives... 😅

This soap apera was packed full of drama!!!
With 3 brother's who argue all the time trying to save a company for a absentee cold father.

Gabe who is running Duncan enterprise gets his older brother Stephen who owns his own construction company to come in and help save his father's company.
Meanwhile Stephen is loosing jobs at his company to the very company he's trying to save.
Add the baby brother Nathan to the mix who is trying to get the company to go Green but is constantly being ignored..
And a father who doesn't even act like he wants to save his own company... you have to wonder why these guys are going to all this trouble?

Then Angie (the senior VP) walks in and puts the cherry on the chaos.
Stephen's attraction for her is so strong it's only a matter of time before these two are hooking up.
Which leaves other's to wonder what the motivations are?
This romance had some hot moments but unfortunately the drama always seemed to over shadow them.

The narration was decent so I'm giving this book 3.5 stars.
If your in the mood for family drama I say, catch it on sale and save the credit.
I was gifted this book in exchange for my honest review.

Stephen and Angie

This is the first book of the Maxfield brothers, in which we learn the background of the family and their business.
This is the story of Stephen. Stephen have issues with his father and have been away from his family for a long time but now that the family business is in problem is called back to his family home. Angie is the VP of Finance of the Maxfield business, she is a strong independent business woman. The chemistry between them since they meet is incredible, it was great to see them know each other, learn from each other and how they slowly became in love.
The story is entertaining, has drama, romance and family relationships, have a twist.The ending is very sweet.
The narrator Connor did a great job, I liked his voice and it kept me entertained, wanted to listen more.

The Billionaire's Tenacious Boss

This was a fun yet infuriating story. At times you feel like as an employee Angie should know her place of course as CEO you expect her to be like that. She just seemed a little wishy washy to me to be in that position. And you know someone is so sabotaging this company but who would do that? As things unfold more is revealed in the story.

3.5 The Billionaire's Tenacious Boss Stars

I quiet enjoyed this first installment.
Stephen is a man with many sides. And I am glad he got to see that he was becoming his father without know it but he found a way to let work be work and family be family.

Angie as well all about the work and I wouldn’t say forgets her family but maybe forgets what’s really important in life.

I love that these two find each other and really make a connection.

I loved the way they meet; right then and there I knew it was going to be a fun book to listen to.

Hmmm What can I say about the narrator.. Yum :)
