The Whitley Brothers, Book 6

De: Layla Hagen

Narrado por: Aiden Snow, Maxine Mitchell

A blizzard, a one-bedroom cottage, and one irresistible and arrogant man = A Recipe for Disaster!

Maddox Whitley is the most arrogant man I’ve met. He thinks the world revolves around him and everyone else must do his bidding. He’s determined to buy my father’s business, and he’s using dirty tactics to get it.

But the Adventure Park is my family’s life’s work, and I’m defending it no matter what. Even if I have to go toe to toe with Maddox and his infuriatingly sexy swagger. I challenge him every way I know, but then he switches strategies. Yes, the nerve of the man! He starts flirting with me! I’d like to tell you it didn’t work…but it does. Then a blizzard traps us in my tiny cottage, and I see a different side to this business mogul.

After I stupidly hurt myself, Maddox surprises me by taking care of me. You learn a lot about someone when you’re trapped in a one-bedroom cottage. The only problem? I only have one teeny, tiny bed and the blizzard showing no signs of stopping…

First impressions

First impressions do not always end up with a bright future, especially when you are trying to win over the daughter of the man you need to do business with. But although Maddox has a steep hill to climb with Cami a freak snowstorm has them huddling down together overnight. Hatred turns to passion and a love story is in the making. Once again Layla Hagen brings to her listeners beautifully written characters and just the right level of spice. I just adore the Whitley brothers. Perfectly narrated and will become an instant favorite.

Business Man meets Small Town Girl

Cami has mainly taken over the outdoor adventure park with the help of her dad. This park is her family’s and after her mom passed she made sure to keep it up the dream. Finding out from her father that they received an offer for the land. She was instantly against it. When she met one of the family members of the business, she was instantly attracted. Until he started talking about the plans.

Maddox is cocky but very successful. Thinking his charm can win over Cami at the dinner business meeting, he was ready for Cami to sign. That wasn’t what happened. Cami walked out of the meeting when she found out his plans were to cut 90% of the trees.

Over time, Cami broke down to Maddox the reason why she doesn’t want to sell. Maddox had been so mentally in business mode but in the small town and the charm of Cami, his plan starts to shift from business to love/family.

Tropes:
Small Town
Enemies to Lovers
Business Man/Small Town Girl
Opposites attract
Close family
Meddling Grandmother

Loving the Whitleys

When Maddox and Cami meet, is not under the best of circumstances. But the chemistry and unavoidable attraction between is the perfect match to lit their fire. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

Entertaining story and narration

Having enjoyed the previous books in this series I couldn’t wait to dive into Taming The CEO which was a great addition to the series. This is Maddox Whitley and Cami’s story and from the first chapter I knew I was in for an entertaining read.
 
Maddox is arrogant, a go getter and a man who goes after what he wants, no matter what. He wants her family business, an Adventure Park and will not take no for an answer.

However, what he doesn’t count on is a snowstorm and his attraction to Cami. The sparks fly between them and lines are crossed. I loved how feisty and sassy Cani is. There was so much more to Maddox and I loved the caring side that Cami brought out in him.
 
I love Ms. Hagen’s style of writing and know when I pick up one of her books that it will be well written story, with characters who are engaging and more often than not will have me laughing out loud at some point.
 
Aiden Snow and Maxine Mitchell 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.

Pretty good

I always want to hear more from the side of the character who the story is about. Cami was nice enough, but I really wanted to hear more of the story from the side of Maddox, and this was one of those books where those chapters were a few and far between.
Overall enjoyable!
