About this listen
Leo Whitley's story is a steamy friends-to-lovers romance. It can be listened to as a standalone.
When I find out on my wedding day that my fiancé is cheating on me, my whole world comes crashing down.
The only bright spot?
My best friend Leo is by my side every step of the way, offering his unconditional support — including a temporary getaway, which I so badly need right now.
Once in Boston, he invites me to stay with him until I get back on my feet. Temporarily, of course.
And I don’t even think twice before agreeing.
But I quickly question if this was the right thing to do.
Did I forget to mention Leo is the hottest man on the planet?
And now his hotness is front and center, as there’s plenty of opportunities to spy on those sexy muscles when he works out in his home gym...or when he gets out of the shower.
Then the oddest thing happens… Leo offers to be my dating coach to ‘help me get back into the game’.
On our first night out, I break out in goosebumps at the lightest touch or seductive smile. And when we get back to his place, well, we take the coaching a little too far and I have the hottest night of my life.
The question is, am I willing to risk my friendship with him for something more? Especially when I’m not even sure I’m ready for anything at all…

Story
Being a single dad while managing one of the biggest businesses in New Orleans keeps me very busy. I spend my free time with my daughter, Bella—reading to her, styling her hair, or choosing nail polishes appropriate for an eight-year-old. But I’m okay with that, because she is my whole world. After my divorce, I made myself a promise: I wouldn’t date until Bella was older. Then, all my good intentions go up in smoke when I hire our newest chef for the flagship restaurant in the French Quarter.

I’m a no-nonsense man. As the head of a business empire, I have to be. I’m logical, cut-throat, and don’t believe in cheesy things like marriage and happy ever afters. But when my best friend asks me to be Best Man, I can't say no. En route to the wedding, I get stuck at the airport when my flight is delayed, and this obnoxious woman sits next to me. Not only does she keep drinking champagne even though she obviously can’t hold her liquor, but she seems determined to push every single one of my buttons.

Story
Whip King cannot be the man for me. Cocky, pierced firefighters are perfect for late-night rom-coms, but in real life they’re nothing but trouble. Especially when you find out they work for your dad—after you’ve already slept with them. Moving to my parents’ small town was supposed to be the fresh start I was looking for. When a disastrous Valentine’s Day leads to an unexpected encounter with a sexy stranger, and ends with the hottest night of my life, I didn’t think I would ever see Whip again.

Story
The first time I met Dawson Reed, we wound up in bed. The problem was, neither of us knew the other were there. When I woke up in the middle of the night and found a stranger next to me, instinct kicked in and I attacked the intruder. Only it turned out, the man wasn’t an intruder at all. Dawson had rented this cabin, too. Apparently, a system glitch allowed a duplicate booking. We’d soon find out we were in town for the same wedding, and Dawson was the groomsman I’d been warned about. He was as tall, dark and jaw-droppingly gorgeous as my best friend had described.

Landon Connor is a man of many talents - all business magazines agree on that. My family calls me a workaholic, but being driven and career-focused is what turned me into a hotshot CEO. I have good reasons for keeping my personal life on hold. Then Maddie Jennings walks into my life and makes me question all my choices. Maddie says she hasn't met anyone like me before, and hopes she never will again. Good. I can't stand the thought of anyone else getting the reactions I do out of her when I boss her around, when I stand just a little too close.

I swear I didn’t mean to flirt with the world-famous Brayden Clarke - especially not right in the middle of an interview for a job. It was a slip - or, perhaps, a gut reaction to his smoldering eyes and deep, sexy voice. To my total disbelief, they give me the assignment. My task is simple: advise Brayden and his band on how to communicate with their fans.

Story
I'm not supposed to want my ex-boyfriend's dad. But after one scorching night last summer with a sexy, older man who instinctively knew how much I wanted to be called his “good girl," I can't stop thinking about him. Of course, back then, I had no idea who Gideon was. Still, we both agreed that one night was our only night. Our lives were too complicated for anything more, no matter how much I craved it. Then our paths collide again at my ex’s fundraiser. That’s where I learn the truth about who Gideon really is.

The job was simple. Always answer the phone—no exceptions—then solve the caller’s catastrophe as efficiently as possible. The rules were simpler. They contact you, not the other way around. Never give them your real name, number, or any personal information not required to help a newly single dad keep his head above water. And never, ever get involved with a caller.

As a divorced single father, I live by three rules: Make sure every day my daughter, Paisley, knows she’s number one in my life. No matter what, keep contact with my cheating ex-wife to a minimum, and turn Maxwell Wineries into a legacy that keeps Paisley set for life. When I hire Lexi to look after my daughter, I realize I need another rule: Don’t pursue Paisley’s nanny. But even if I had that rule it wouldn’t matter. Because I'm breaking it already.

I’ve always been a wild card–the first to start a fight on the ice, and the life of the party off it–but appearances can be deceiving. Being traded to the Boston Rebels could not have come at a better time. With serious family obligations to fulfill and a contract renewal with a new hockey team on the line, I have no time for anything else. I return to Boston knowing I need to buckle down and focus on what really matters.

For a long time now, I’ve despised Weston Shaw. He’d been someone I’d admired, taking my favorite football team, the Colorado Mustangs, to the Super Bowl. But that all turned upside down after one night that had nothing to do with me. We share one undeniable connection: his son, Caleb. Unfortunately, the circumstances behind that have never been my story to tell. But now, the truth is out, and I’m left to deal with the consequences. I’m living under the same roof as Weston, and each day, I discover a side of him I never expected.

He’s also a football star on track to win the first wide-receiver MVP in league history. Good thing I only date golfers… or I did.

He's just my best friend. my sexy-as-hell best friend. It was easy to agree to help him fake a romance. After all, who knows him like I do? Convincing his tight-knit family takes a little more: An unexpected kiss that makes my skin sizzle, my knees go weak. Before I know it, our banter turns to flirting and Hunter's hell-bent on charming me. On our first night together, we barely keep our hands off each other.

I’m a no-nonsense man. As the head of a business empire, I have to be. I’m logical, cut-throat, and don’t believe in cheesy things like marriage and happy ever afters. But when my best friend asks me to be Best Man, I can't say no. En route to the wedding, I get stuck at the airport when my flight is delayed, and this obnoxious woman sits next to me. Not only does she keep drinking champagne even though she obviously can’t hold her liquor, but she seems determined to push every single one of my buttons.

It's not like I planned to fall for my older brother's best friend. It just happened. With a perfect body covered in tattoos, and a dirty mouth, Roman is the kind of guy women notice—and believe me, I noticed. Even when I tried not to. When he finally gives in to temptation, there's no going back. At least for me. Too bad Roman doesn't see it that way.

Beautiful and heartfelt friends to lovers romance!
I really enjoyed listening to this beautiful and heartfelt friends to lovers romance. Tory is the 'one who got away' for Leo. He was attracted to her when they first met in college, but she was already dating someone. Over the years, the timing was never right, but they were always best friends. When she found out her fiancé was cheating the night before their wedding, Leo is there to help her escape. He convinces her to go back to Boston and stay with him until she figures out what she will do next. Leo is so thoughtful and attentive, Tory starts to allow herself to give in to the deeper feelings she has always had for him. She also begins to feel a connection to his family and new circle of girlfriends. Leo wants Tory more than anything, but he has never planned on settling down. After acting on their desires, will they realize they were always meant to be, or will the fear of losing what they have, force them to lose everything? Tory and Leo’s story is sweet, funny, heartwarming, and sizzling hot. They are both so great together and I cheered hard for their HEA. I really liked the humor in the story. The friendship, and the family bonds are all fantastic.
Erin Mallon, and Connor Crais were so perfectly cast to narrate this fun and heartwarming romance. They completely captured these characters and made me feel all the hope, heartbreak, love, and passion they possessed. They are so easy to listen to and they made this romance even more captivating and delightful.

Entertaining story and narration
Having enjoyed the previous books in this series I couldn’t wait to jump into Loving The CEO which was a great addition to the series. This is Leo Whitley and Tory’s friends to lovers story and it was well written and entertaining.
Imagine finding out on your wedding day that the man you are about to marry has been cheating on you. That’s the position that Tory finds herself in.
When Leo offers up his place to escape to she accepts not knowing that decision could change their friendship forever.
I loved how supportive Leo was and I I enjoyed watching their relationship change.
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.
Connor Crais and Erin Mallon 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 riveted to the story as I listened in almost one go.

Fantastic narration from two of the best!
I love a good Layla Hagen story. It’s always full of romance, family and lots of laughs. Leo and Tori are couple goals, starting out as best friends before realizing they’re perfect for each other (with a little nudge from Jeannie of course). Definitely enjoyable with very little drama.

Wonderful Friends to Lovers story
Leo and Tory were best friends in college. Now several years later, he's attending her wedding to someone that he doesn't think is good eenough for her. When the worst happens finding out that her fiancee is cheating on her, she leaves and runs into Leo. He convinces her to go back to Boston and stay with him for a while. That's when they figure out that they don't want to be just friends. Leo's grandmother is on a roll matchmaking her grandsons. Now there's only one left. I'm looking forward to his story. The narration by Connor Crais and Erin Mallon was perfect.

Loving the CEO
And then there was one Whitley left to fall because Leo is officially off the market. When his best friend catches her fiancé cheating the day before their wedding, Leo tells her to come back to Boston with him. This whole series is such a good read. The emotions are powerful and I found myself smiling so any times. I can’t wait to see what is in store next for Nick.

Emotion with a spicy twist. Hagen has all the right moves when it comes to romance. Leo and Tory are perfection. Loving the CEO, holds nothing back. From heartbreaking to soul stirring, seduction is only a page turn away.

I love this Whitley family
What a great story. I have enjoyed each and every one of these books. These two characters have been friends for really long time. but it definitely show why they haven't gotten together before this.I love how the author brings them together. of course if you read any of the other books you know all the whitleys are in this one. Both narrators did a fantastic job. Was definitely a fun story.

Wonderful journey with great narration
I loving catching up with the Whitley brothers and I was excited for Leo Whitley and Tory’s friends to lovers journey. I wasn’t disappointed and Loving The CEO is a wonderful addition to this great series. If you love friends to lovers romance or stories based around families look no further than this gem.
Connor Crais and Erin Mallon did a wonderful job bringing the characters and their journey to life. They were spot on with passion, the chemistry and the banter.
What do you do when you find out the man you are about to marry is cheating on you …..
Well when Tory overhears a telephone call she decides to run and there’s only one friend who can help her and that’s her best friend Leo. What follows is an entertaining and emotional journey as these best friends go from friends to lovers. But will they survive when lines are crossed. One click now to find out.
Loving The CEO ( The Whitley Brothers #7) ticked all my boxes, I fell hard and fast for Leo and Tory is the woman I would love in my corner. The banter is witty, the chemistry is hot, the family loyalty is something we all wish for but it was the writing that took this book to another level. Ms Hagen has once again written a wonderful story that would appeal to all romance lovers.
