Babies for the Billionaire #3

Baby, ASAP (Babys für den Milliardär 3)

Rate this book
Er brauch ein Baby – ASAP – „as soon as possible“
Sie will unbedingt eine Mama werden.
Eine Abmachung zu treffen ist der leichte Teil.
Ein Baby zu zeugen scheint da schon eher ein Problem zu werden …


Kaley:

Ich wollte schon immer eine eigene Familie haben.
Aber ich hätte niemals erwartet, dass ich mir so etwas leisten kann.
Zumindest bis mir mein milliardenschwerer Boss ein Angebot gemacht hat:
Ich schenke ihm ein Baby, er darf sein Image aufbessern.
Er rettet die Firma seines Vaters,
Und ich darf ein Kind großziehen, dem es an nichts fehlen muss.
Natürlich schadet es nicht, dass Jonathan Dane absolut unwiderstehlich ist.
Er ist vielleicht rücksichtslos,
Aber er bietet mir all das, was ich schon immer wollte.
Ein Mädchen darf doch träumen, oder?

Jonathan:

Ich habe gedacht, dass ich alles hatte: Autos, ein Anwesen und eine Yacht.
Aber es gibt etwas, dass ich einfach nicht loswerde: meinen Ruf.
Ich werde als gefühllos, kalt und kalkulierend angesehen…
Und für einen Milliardär & CEO einer Spielzeugfirma ist das ein Problem…
Aber jemand hatte eine Idee:
Eine eigene Familie gründen, ein süßes Kind bekommen und meine Kritiker für immer ruhig stellen.
Und ich habe auch schon einen Blick auf meine wunderschöne Angestellte geworfen…
Ich kann es kaum erwarten, meinen Plan in Bewegung zu setzen.

“You should stay home, anyway; you’re a whale,” I said, rubbing her belly with both hands.
“Hey!” She slapped me playfully. “You said I was pretty!”
“You are pretty! Whales are pretty!”

So many misunderstandings but so much love. That is the basis of the story of Jonathan and Kaley. They have learned to overcome a lot to be together. What started out as unconventional ended up being a fairy tale romance.

A surprisingly good read. It tug on my heartstrings, a personal and intimate and sweet to the core. It leaves a happy smile on my face when Kaley and Jonathan finally got their happy ending.

The title of this book made me think it would be a quick, cheesy read. It was a quick read, but it is also a good story that explores the depth of the main characters' emotions. I wish the epilogue had been included in the book.

Jonathon is the CEO of his family's toy company and is in need of his image being redone. He comes off as cold and unfeeling and with a toy company that isn't helping company moral or sales. Kaley works in Jonathon's company and one morning when she runs into him everything changes for her. Jonathon can't believe in a company as big as his that he has run into Kaley 3 times in one day. Once he sees her interact with some kids testing their products he knows she's the perfect face for their campaign. Kaley agrees to do the photo shoot for two weeks especially when she being paid more than she normally would make. What she didn't expect was the proposition Jonathon makes when they have dinner to go over her contract for the new work she was doing. He wanted her to have a baby with him and to help remake him into a family man to the public. Kaley has always wanted a child of her own so she agrees. However nothing goes as planned and what was supposed to be a business agreement turns into so much more. What happens when everyone else finds out about them? Will Kaley turn Jonathon's cold heart warm?

This was a great story about family. I loved this story. I recommend if you haven't read anything by this author grab this book its a great story to start with.

I received a copy of this in exchange for an honest review.

This is the best one to date that I have read by Layla Valentine and it seems each book gets better and better and this latest one takes the cake. A story of a billionaire, Jonathan, who needs a public image boot to please his customers and a woman, Kaley, who works for his company. She wants a baby fiercely and wants to be a stay at home mom for as long as she can remember and now Jonathan figures having a baby will boost his image....perfect business arrangement between, so what could go wrong.
WOW...not only a steamy read but this one actually had me tearing up a couple of times with the emotions between them and then the declaration near the end in the nursery had me reaching for more tissues. These two complimented each other perfectly, he can be cold and calculating and she is warm and compassionate, she brings out the best in him, making him lower his guard as she gets glimpses of the man he can be. An amazing read that flowed beautifully with two characters that I fell in love with and a HEA which made me smile so wide my cheeks hurt.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. Another wonderful billionaire baby book from Ms Valentine. This one features Kaley a product development employee of a toy manufacture and Jonathon the CEO of the company. Kaley loves working with the focus groups who have kids give their input about new toys. Parents if the toys are for children who are toddlers. Her biggest dream is to be a mother. Jonathon is a man who wants his company to succeed since in recent years it has not been doing so well. He has been told part of the reason why is that he doesn't come across as a family man and is a little to closed off. His executives have told him one way to improve his image is to fall in love and have a family. Well, he and Kaley meet on morning and his taken by her. She is just embarrassed because she collided into him while not looking. The two realize they have something in common and strike up an agreement.I really enjoyed this story and when I read what Jonathan went through with his family and what he has always wanted I was so moved by the way it was written. I was so happy to see that they were able to get what they really wanted and were looking for all along. Great HEA!

Oh my!  I absolutely loved this romantic tale.  Johnathan Dane is a CEO of. Huge toy business.  But he has one problem.  His image.  He comes across as cold and uncaring.  He needs to fix this and fast.  

Kaley is an employee working in the marketing dept of All Goid Toys.  Her dream is to have a family of her own one day.  She is having a late morning one day and runs dead into the CEO of the company.  In total embaressment she runs the other direction.  

Mr. Dane is struck by the he beautiful creature that bumped into him.  He then gets the idea of a lifetime.  Now if he can only convince Kaley to go with his plan.

This book was such an emotional read.  It was sweet and romantic, but also sad in some parts.  It was a roller coaster of emotions.   The characters are so intriguing that you can’t help but fall in love with the story.  The book is a steady paced read.  A definite page turner.   It has some steamy parts but it is not overwhelming as some billionaire romance reads tend to have a lot of sex and less story.  I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

The baby proposition

Johnathan is the CEO of toy business. He was having a meeting where his executives were given him advice about what to do about his image. He doesn’t seem friendly to his workers. One day walking through the building a woman rushing bumped into him. He couldn’t stop looking at her. She apologized and rushed off. She was in charge of the focus groups. Kaley loves kids. She loves her job. During the focus group Jonathan Dane asked her to read for the ads for the company. She was the perfect face and personality for the company. He asked her to dinner with a proposition. He wanted her to have his baby. I thought this was going to be a disaster. She wants kids and he needs help with his image. She wants more but is afraid he doesn’t know how to show it. He has fallen for Kaley hard and doesn’t want to lose her, it’s a good story. I thought it would end badly with a child being in between. Glad they could work it out

Jonathan e Kaley sono due persone che si conosco sul lavoro. Lui ricco e Capo d'azienda l, lei responsabile del Marketing. Insieme creano giocattoli per il mondo intero. Azienda di famiglia dicono... ma qui, a lui manca il lato famiglia. Lui vuole un figlio per far bella figura e chiede a lei di rimanere incinta e diventare una bella famigliola. Lei accetta e bam... figlio e famiglia andati...

Bhe c'era una bella trama dietro.
Peccato che si odiano da subito i personaggi.
Almeno io li ho odiati tutti.

Lei si è lasciata usare.
Lui usa lei senza scrupoli.
La migliore amica di lei è una vipera del cavolo che critica subito e poi alla fine non sai come ritornano amiche dopo che ha trattato Kylie di arrampicatrice sociale.

Mahhhh la sola cosa che potrebbe passare è che l'amore nasce davvero. Ma solo quello... e ancora... quando lui crede che lei abbia mentito sulla gravidanza mi ha fatto incavolare e tanto la reazionedi lasciarla senza alzare la cornetta almeno per chiedere come stava...

Non lo consiglio proprio. Nada. Zero.

I read this book as part of an arc program. I really enjoyed the story of Jonathan and Kaley. Kaley worked in product development at Jonathan's toy company and she wanted a family but couldn't find a man suitable. Jonathan was facing declining profits in the company mainly due to his cold and closed off personality. When it is suggested he start a family in order to soften hos image, Jonathan thinks Kaley would be perfect after she stars in their ad campaign and he sees how loving she is with the children. Kaley accepts Jonathan's offer and they try to have a baby. This was a good story that saw both Jonathan and Kaley grow and realize what exactly they want. I really felt for Jonathan because he wasn't as unfeeling as everyone thought he was, he just didn't know how to express his feelings. Good one.

Kaley is a young woman working at AllGood Inc. A toy making company. The CEO and owner of AllGood Inc. is Jonathan Dane. He is a hard man and not the image of a toy company. The executive committee told him he had to get a better image. One of the suggesting a baby. Kaley has wanted a baby all her life. Jonathan proposed they have a baby together. Kaley thought about it and as she was attracted to him she decided to do it. The book takes off from there. The book contains lust, misunderstandings, demons from the past, and love. Will they discover love for each other? Will they have a baby? Grab the book and take the rollercoaster ride.
Layla once again shows her talent. She took her two dimensional characters and wove her plot around them to write a great book. I received an ARC and I am leaving a voluntary review.

Layla Valentine has amazing stories. They are always beautifully written and have a wonderful plot to them. This is no different. Jonathan and Kayle have very hot chemistry between them. But both are a little hard headed. Jonathan is the is alpha male but is so cold and stern looking and acting. Kayle is this lovable, caring woman. Can the two of them really get together and have their happy ever after? Well, I can't say but can say that they it is a story to find out for sure. This is definitely worth reading and it does not disappoint. It is a quick read but very good. The flow of the story is amazing and the characters are extremely well developed. The personalities of the characters feel like they are real people that you know somewhere. I voluntarily review an advanced reader copy of this book.

This book had it all! I laughed, I cried a little and I fell in love with the characters and their journey. Jonathan is the CEO of the family toy company. He needs a new image to help keep the company in the good graces of the public eye. Kayley works for the company in the design department. Jonathan cannot get her out of his mind. He comes up with an unconventional plan to help his image and give Kayley things she has always wanted. Things happen, lots of things, feeling get involved and a love is almost lost. Grab this incredible book and see if Jonathan and Kayley and overcome Jonathan’s attempt of not getting hurt; and Kayley’s attempt at breaking through his walls and loving him for who he is.

Johnathan Dane owns a toy company that has been in his family for generations. He seems a bit cold to his employers but is now feeling the pressure from his customers. Sales are down due to him seeming too cold for parents to want to buy from, they want someone who seems more like a family man. Kaley is a toy designer and very good at her job. She loves it but would also love to be a mother. One problem, no prospects. When Mr. Dane approaches her with a proposal will she consider taking it? When two people want the same thing or think they want the same but feelings join the mix, can they continue on as they originally planned? Take a ride with the two of them on t his fun, romance with a HEA. It's a enjoyable read.

Another great release from Layla Valentine!    What happens when a cold and calculating CEO needs a personality adjustment for PR?  Why he has a family of course!!  And he has found just the woman to do it!  Great read. These two have serious sparks and their hesitation to show their true emotions feels so real. I was truly sucked into this book!  I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

While it may never happen like this in real life, we romantics love a good Billionaire needs Baby right now story...and if the Billionaire happens to be the unbelievably handsome Jonathan Dane—even better! Layla Valentine has crafted another heart wrenching, heart warming tale of two characters yearning for a little person to love. It’s happy, it’s sad, it’s amazing. Storyline is awesome; characters with enough issues to negate the agreement; crazy inaccurate pregnancy tests; and a HEA you’ll love to be a part of. ❤️ You’ll want to 1-Click this one today! (I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book and loved every minute of it!) ❤️❤️

A very well written romantic story. I liked the storyline and plot. It is written in dual POV which gives the reader the thoughts and feelings of both main characters. I like that. When it comes to babies and women men often are really weak and it turns out Jonathan is not that tough as he tought.
Kaley and Jonathan is a great match and their chemistry keeps getting hotter through the story. I like the well written steamy scenes and the story flows nicely. The end of the story was a bit to weak for my. The regrets and so but I like the book. It is worth the read.

Excellent contemporary billionaire/employee romance and baby. Kaley has always dreamed of becoming a mother. She wore in the creative department of a toy company. She s met the CEO a few times but each was embarrassing. Jonathan is intrigued by his employee. She works easily with children so he requests that she become the face of their new product line. Then he realizes there is another position he'd like to ask her about. Its a sweet billionaire/employee romance where the author makes both characters vulnerable in their way which keeps the reader involved. I received a complementary copy of this book and chose to write a review. I look forward to reading future books by this author.

The story begins with an interesting proposition between a billionaire and a woman who always wanted to be a mother. I don't think I usually relate baby with heated romance novels, but on this one it works out. Despite a bit of awkward start of the budding romance, I had hard time putting the book down once things got going. Although it is not long, the story packs a lot of romance and heat not to mention sappy (the good kind) happy ending. Voluntary and honest review after receiving ARC (advanced reader copy).

Baby Makes Three

I fell in love with this book from page one. Kaley and Jonathan want a baby for different reasons. Kaley always wanted to be a mother and In the beginning Jonathan wanted a baby for PR reasons. Can. They find true love and happiness? This a revealing story of how each grew up and how it affected them now. I loved the fact that Jonathan was able to share his feelings with Kaley. He was secure enough to cry as he bared his soul to Kaley.This story had many tender moments. I really appreciated the authors way of writing. A great read.

What a romance

Oh this book tugged at my heart and I had tears in my eyes. Kaley and Jonathan - worker and boss trying for a baby to improve his images. But misunderstandings about pregnancy and misconceptions about their relationship and Jonathan’s flawed heart, all come between them. Jonathan is then stunned at how Kaley makes him feel and when she is insulted and it ends in tears Jonathan finds his heart. Lovely ending, lovely story, such a romance - they deserved each other. Layla Valentine is definitely on my TBR at all times.

Kaley and Jonathan both want the same thing but for different reasons. Kaley wants a baby to love and Jonathan wants a baby to improve his corporate image. He's the CEO of a major toy company that is suffering, mainly due to his cold persona. His board suggests that he will improve his image by settling down and having a baby. When Kaley bumps into him at work, he knows she's the one. Then the drama begins and the sex is off the charts. No spoiler here, but there are some surprises followed by an HEA.

Layla Valentine has delivered another emotional read with this one. Here we have Jonathan, the CEO of a large toy business. The problem is he is cold and comes across as such creating an image nightmare. Kaley is his polar opposite and would be the perfect answer to his image problem, provided he can get her on board. The question remains if the Board will buy this charade or will it become reality? This is one definite page turner and I cannot wait to read what is coming next.
I volunteered to read an arc for a review.

Johnathan is the CEO of a toy company but he has a reputation of being cold and that's not helping much with the companys image. During a marketing meeting someone suggests that he should start a family if he wants to be seen as compassionate. Now he's on the look out for someone to have his child and he decides that Kaley one of his employees is the perfect woman.
Baby, Asap by Layla Valentine is a hot steamy Billionaire baby romance with a HEA

It was really cute. Not the best writing, but I still recommend. I did enjoy it because I loved the heroine. She was adorable and I wanted to be her friend, even though she didn’t seem like a good friend to the only one she had. The hero was just ok, but I still liked him. It was short and sweet. Not a super great connection but there was some emotion from the characters. There was steam from the beginning and the author did well in not over doing it but still giving what you need.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book...

Interesting read for me. It took me a while to warm up to Jonathan. The plot was interesting. The story-line was a little choppy during some parts of the book. I loved the characters and thought they were fairly well-developed and easily relatable. Towards the end, both acted a little childish and having regrets happened a little too late. I was glad they were able to work through their trial and errors to find their HEA.

He needs to change his image. She wants a baby. A deal is struck but what happens when miscommunications get in the way? Will they be able to admit their true feelings to each other?

This book was definitely steamy. These two just had one miscommunication after another and was happy when they finally got their heads together. I do think that with their pasts problems with their parents, both needed to open up and were unsure how to go about it. Good read!

I thoroughly enjoyed this story! It was super sweet and very sexy! I really liked both Kayley and Jonathan. I would say this is a Insta lust/love story but it took a while for the characters to share their feelings. I really loved Jonathan. He may have come across cold and uncaring but underneath the facade he had a wealth of love he wanted to share. This book goes on my list of favourites from Layla Valentine!
