What was that?!

I must say I had high hopes for this book, but that old saying, You can't judge a book by its cover is true. The only thing good about these books is the cover. The heroine was a doormat to the 'nth degree. The ex boyfriend was a major jerk, the sister and mother were too horrible b"s and the father was just a weakling. I don't know what was worse, the story itself or the narrator. She had no changes in her voice at all. It was all one tone, she read as if she wasn't interested at all. Sorry. The whole thing was BAD just BAD!!

Not Worth the listen

I'll be honest, I'm writing this review without having finished the book. The reason I'm doing so is that, it's so bad, I might not be able to finish. This book sounds like a brand new author wrote it and self published after being rejected numerous times. I downloaded this because I was hoping for a good, or semi decent, BBW novel. Yeah..... no. The character starts off at a size 12 and spends, from what I've listened to, the first part of the book successfully losing weight. Not a BBW romance, Audible. The narrator, while not great, I could have listened to without too much irritation but the book was so bad, it made the narration seem that much worse. Honestly, this time, it's not just the narrator's fault. The book is just that bad. Jamie's family is horrid and she lacks a backbone to stand up to them. She's planning her heinous sister's wedding to her ex boyfriend and her mom and sister actually demand, DEMAND, she quit her job. Oh, and Jamie is the maid of honor but she won't be if she can't slim down to a size six to fit the dress already ordered for her. OH HELL NO! Does Jamie get furious at this treatment? Nope. She just shrugs it off like "That's family. What can you do." Grrr!!!! Does the bad stop there? HA! You wish! The fact that her main male character, Alex, made it to "billionaire" status without ever having a personal assistant is far fetched to say the least. Added to that, at one point the guy just takes off after something upsets him, has zero contact, and leaves his personal assistant to run a client meeting that could mean millions of dollars lost if it's blown?! I mean, WTF?! It's like no attempt at making this book even slightly realistic was made. My advice to the author, stick with what you know. If you don't know or understand the corporate world, leave it out of your writing because the lack of understanding shines through. I just....I can't. Future readers, save yourself the pain and find another BBW novel cuz this is awful.

LOVED THIS SERIES.....

Where does Managing the Bosses Box Set #1-3: Billionaire Romance rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I have listened this to twice already... love the series, the characters the story plot.. I just didn't realize that the whole series consisted of 10 books.. I ready alot.. you'll love these books..

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jaime.. she was sort of a pushover and took alot from her mother and sister, but I loved when she started sticking up for herself and what she did she did herself only not to please anyone..

Jamie and Alex

I had a hard time getting past the narrator. This is a set of three books about Jamie and Alex. Jamie's family leaves little to be desired. Each story was pretty good. A different narrator would have made this better for me. I received this free copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this 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.

Enjoyable with some reservations

it was enjoyable, but some reservations. I struggled to identify with the main heroine's plight of being shamed for being overweight at a size 10 as well as being so indecisive. I loved the makeup and make out sessions but the storyline was lacking depth in spots.
I alternated between reading and listening, and the narrator was a bit bland and robotic. While rhe voice was pleasant, breaks in sentences and ill-timed voice inflections were distracting.

Not impressed

I love the books and the story line, but the narrator was horrible! A whiney mostly monotonous woman I spent the entire time trying to figure out who was speaking or if they were thinking.

story could have ended after book 2.

the whole of book 3 happened after the HEA and it was pointless. fake drama and petty jealousy messed with the perfectly good ending of book 2.

It needed to end WAY sooner!

I love a series when it involves the same characters and their story is progressing. it's what drew me to this book. Book 1 I was well into. swoon worthy fab!
Book 2 it started becoming a bit interesting but the relationship between the two was starting to wear thin. Book 3, I just couldn't finish the last couple of hours. seriously I was so over the relationship and it was just boring. the same story over and over.

The narration was ok, except there was no differentiation between male or female so you didn't know who was talking half the time. it provides a lot of confusion.
