About this listen
Julian Leblanc's story is a sizzling fake relationship romance set in the heart of New Orleans.
She’s too damn hot, but also rude and unprofessional... yet that doesn’t stop me from becoming her fake boyfriend. I pride myself on never doubting my decisions. It’s why my business runs so smoothly. But when a disgruntled supplier tracks me down, and I discover that she lost business because of me, I’m determined to make things right.
First step—I invite Georgie to a Mardi Gras party, to wave the proverbial white flag. Only her asshole of an ex shows up, insulting her. All my protective instincts kick in and I kiss her on the spot. That shuts him up. The only problem is, once I have a taste, I crave more.
So I proposition to be her fake boyfriend. My excuse? I’ll help her get her clients back by taking her to elite parties around New Orleans. But this fake dating becomes addictive. Suddenly a kiss is not enough; a touch is only the beginning and Georgie is captivating me in a way no one ever did.
Then one evening at midnight, all masks come off. And so do our reasons for pretending.
I desperately want her, but I’m not the settle-down-type-of-guy, and Georgie deserves that. With her, I’ve become the man I never thought I ever could be. Our passion is real. But can we have more?

Story
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?

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.

Story
If Renn Brewer would’ve asked me to marry him, I would’ve said no. Why? One, his reputation precedes him. His name is in the headlines at least once a month. Two, he’s not just my brother’s best friend. They’re teammates. And three, I’m in my self-care era. Unfortunately, a version of me equates self-care with bad choices.

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.

But I didn’t and now–everything is different. At first I didn’t recognize the woman doing a victory dance down the hall when she thought no one was watching. Until she turned around. And that beautiful smile was aimed at me.

Okay so I was covered in electric blue body paint, and wearing a wig, but is that a good excuse to not remember the girl you said was your destiny? Now I’m stuck working for the jerk because only he can give me the job I really want—manager of his hotel. When he needs a fake fiancé for business reasons, there’s an easy solution—blackmail. He has to give me a trial run as hotel manager in return for wearing his ring.

I caught her staring at me from across the quad, eyes fixed on the football jersey stretched across my wide chest. And if I flexed my muscles, showing off the strength of a defensive tackle, it was just to see her blush. And then she did, and I couldn’t get her out of my mind. Her wide eyes. The freckles on her cheeks. I needed to know her. The girl who scampered away every time we bumped into each other—by accident and by design.

And all was going according to plan until my nemesis, Storee Taylor, moved in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Obituary writer Nadine Barbault doesn’t mind being called “Lady Death”. It suits the ice queen persona she’s cultivated to survive the fast-paced Toronto Herald. So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive. Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years. But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

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.

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?

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.

Get dirt on his personal life—something salacious to please the money-hungry gossip rag I worked for. But I missed the moment Mac left the building. Or so I thought… Twenty minutes later, I saw actual Mac exit after the media left. Apparently, he’d used a decoy to throw off the press—waiting until everyone left to make his getaway in private. I started following the real Mac, and got more than I bargained for.

Football star. Single dad. And once, a long time ago, mine. I’ve spent the better part of a decade forgetting Ford Ellis. If he had just stayed away from Montana, I might have erased the memory of his striking blue eyes and rugged smile forever. Avoiding him was easy when the only place I saw his face was on ESPN—and a remote control could fix that problem.

Know your enemies, your allies, and the people in the middle you can buy. When he first appeared in my life, I had no idea who he was, but I never forgot his pretty face. While it’s been years and I barely recognize him, I can’t get enough.

You’d think nearly dying trying to get out of a too-tight gown in a dressing room and being saved by a strong, competent man was a good thing. Not so much, though, when that strong, competent man is your ex. Your secret ex. And the reason you need a gown is because you’re part of a charity auction. The charity auction where he gets into a bidding war to win you. And now, because you’re one of few female coaches in professional baseball, and he’s the captain of the local professional hockey team, and he paid a ridiculous sum of money for you…

When bodies with an eerily similar MO show up in Philadelphia, he volunteers to assist with the case. He figures he will spend a few days in Philly, hand the case off, and head back to his life in Seattle. But everything changes when he stops at a local bar, looks across the room, and sees her. Agent Leda Bailey has had a bad week. She has three dead women and no trail to follow. The clues don't add up, and nothing makes sense.

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.

narration perfection!
I simply adore Layla Hagen romance! Her blend of family, setting, and low angst always leaves me happy after finishing her books.
She has this reader always wanting to devour all the books in a series and falling for all the characters!
Who doesn't love New Orleans as a setting to any book? Add Mardi Gras time and its win for me!
Jason Clarke and Emma Wilder are two of my favorite narrators and they never disappoint.

He falls first, hard and fast!
Julian LeBlanc is the newest LeBlanc brother to fall to his knees for the woman he loves. Julian is definitely “The Charmer” in Layla Hagen’s newest LeBlanc Brother story. Unknowingly Julian breaks a long standing contract between Books and Beads (Georgie’s store) and LeBlanc Conglomerates, both grandmother’s made a contract with Georie’s grandmother. Boy, does Georgie ever let him have it one night. She is so fun and confident when not around her ex. Let’s just say Julian is blown away by her confidence to confront him and cannot get Georgie out of his mind. Basically he fell first! Some of the tropes you will find in The Charmer are fake-relationship, bossy billionaire, close proximity, enemies-to-lovers, and steamy scenes. Steamy scenes are right, Julian and Georgie do get quite steamy together. I loved The Charmer. The characters are fun, witty, chemistry is through the roof, steamy scenes are quite hot too, and the setting is fabulous, New Orleans during carnival season(Mardi Gras). Now, let’s talk about the fabulous narrators that bring Georgie and Julian to your ears. Jason Clarke and Emma Wilder do a fantastic job of bringing the characters to life. For me, Jason Clarke is one of my top 3 most favorite male narrators. His voice is smooth, rich, vibrant, and oh se*y to listen to. He is excellent at a variety of male voices while at the same time just as talented as a female and young child voice. Emma Wilder is excellent at a variety of voices as well. Her range of voices makes listening to the story easy and enjoyable. Looking for a fun read with lots of witty banter throughout and an alpha hero who falls first? Then you will totally enjoy The Charmer by Layla Hagen!!

Even more enjoyable on audio!
4.5 stars - Fake dating has been my weakness lately, so this book was a dream for me. Starting off with feisty and determined Georgie, who's trying to save the business her grandmother started and passed down to her mom. When her ex is determined to belittle her at every turn, Julian steps in to protect her.
Julian is such a delight throughout the story and once he realizes how one of his actions affected Georgie's business, he's determined to make things right. These two are fire and I'm here for every moment!
I love how the story ties back to their grandmothers agreement, which was made decades ago. The story is based in New Orleans and I could practically smell the beignets through the pages. I adore the Leblanc Brothers series so far and they only get better!
Jason Clarke and Emma Wilder bring such depth to the characters with their narration, and I devoured the audiobook in one sitting.

Temptation too haunting to pass up.
The Charmer takes a different approach when it comes to matters of the heart. Julian and Georgie are determined to prove that the flames of attraction can be a roadblock on the highway of love. Hagen pushes emotions to the limit, with humor, heat and heartbreak. It's a turbulent ride that bursts the boundaries of romance wide open. Temptation too haunting to pass up.

First things first…. The fact that this series is set in New Orleans makes me so happy. Julian started off being super rude to Georgie, and I will admit I waited on the edge of my seat for his grandmothers to find out. That didn’t disappoint at all. Julian runs the bar branches of the family business. Georgie owns a small shop that does most of her business during Mardi Gras season with masks and float decorations. When a mishap makes Julian cancel their contract Georgie refuses to let it go. I found myself smiling so much while reading this book. It was such a fun read!

One of my favourite books of the year
If you love fake relationships and invested family stories look no further than the latest Leblanc brothers story in The Charmer ( The Leblanc Brothers #2). This is Julian Lablanc and Georgie’s entertaining and heartwarming journey and I highly recommend it to all romance lovers.
Julian owns The Lucky Spot bar in New Orleans and he meets Bookshelf and Beads shop owner, Georgie when she confronts him about cancelling the float decoration contract she has had since her grandmother opened their small shop years ago. Julian has no intention of getting involved with the sassy shop owner until her ex boyfriend turns up and is not very nice, so Julian comes to her rescue with a kiss and telling the ex to take a hike because Georgie is now his ……
Trying to make up for cancelling the contract Julian takes Georgie to exclusive Mardi Gras events in the hope she gets back the contracts that had been lost due to the flooding. But what happens when spending time together has feelings coming into play and the family meddling in Julian’s love life.
Emma Wilder and Jason Clarke did a fantastic job bringing the characters and their story to life. They were easy to listen to and they were spot on with the love and the banter that flows through this book.
This book is one of my favourite reads of 2024 and I’m telling you all to add The Charmer to your TBR list. The characters are adorable, the story is entertaining and more important you feel like you are sitting in the French Quarter experiencing Mardi Gras.

Great story and narration
5 Star Review The Charmer (The LeBlanc Brothers #2) by Layla Hagen
Audio/eBook:
After reading the first book in the latest series from Layla Hagen ai couldn’t wait to read The Charmer.
This is Julian Leblanc and Georgie’s story and it ticked all the boxes for me.
I enjoy fake dating stories, add in that it is set in New Orleans, a place I want to visit and for me this was a win/win.
What starts as a fake relationship quickly morphs into so much more.
Their path to love was not without its issues but it
This was a fabulous read that had me swooning and laughing and left me with a smile on my face.
Jason Clarke and Emma Wilder did a fabulous job with their narration. Bringing the story and character to life that Ms. Hagen created. Their voices are easy to listen to and they brought romance, passion and humour to their performances. .
