What a well written, relatable, fun to read, second chance at romance novel. This is a first in a series called The Better Man Series. Bailey is a Widow and Fox is divorced and they are both single parents. The character growth was strong with this one and the characters became much stronger by the end of the novel after everything they had to overcome. Such an adorable love story.

I am definitely now a total fan!

This was a good 5 star read. This was a great second chance romance. I really liked this story line with the single parents. Bailey lost her husband and focused on raising her daughters and her career. She ends up talking to Fox during a flight, where things change for the both of them. They have several things in common. Can they keep things professional? Will they both let their walls down and be happy again?
Overall I really liked these characters and their stories. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. All of the characters added a great element to the story. If you are looking for a great read, 1-click and get started today. I look forward to reading more from this author and series.

This second chance at love romance was just what I was looking for. Two single parents are brought together through work and hit it off. They of course run into obstacles as all single parents do when trying to have a relationship. Throw work and life in the mix and there is no telling what can happen. I really loved how the characters were very relatable. I like reading from both characters’ point of view. I think it really made for a better read. Bailey and Fox were my kind of characters. I look forward to reading more from this author!

I absolutely adored this book. It really had me engaged from the start and I just had to keep reading to see what happened.

Bailey has worked at her job for years and when things start going south they get a new CEO and work life is now amazing.

Fox is the new CEO and has brought new life to the business and the staff.

I usually don’t care for time jumps but these were needed as we get what’s needed and then hop to now with small memories talked about in those missing years.
I really can’t find what I want to say without possibly saying something that would ruin a part of the story as it is best read as it’s written to get the feel for it all.
This author made me feel each and every single emotion our main characters were feeling. Happy, sad, anxious, embarrassed and everything you can name and that is what makes a story stick with me is how it made me feel. Will be reading more by this author for sure.

This was a great slow burn romance. The characters show great growth throughout this story. It’s in both views of the main characters which is always a favorite of mine. I just always feel it’s a more detailed storyline that way. It’s a great story about life after divorce and the loss of a spouse. It’s well written and paced nicely. The author did well with the build up in the relationship. There’s a sprinkling of steamy romance but the author truly made it about the relationship that was building. Five big stars and highly recommended.

5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Just an overall wonderful story…navigating two people whom were not looking for love but discover the spark between them. Bailey is raising two daughters on her own, being a widow and also a VP of Quality of a company. When a new CEO is introduced to the company…lots of curiosity circles knowing that Fox, the new CEO, is a father of two teenage boys raising them as well on his own. When a work trip includes both Bailey and Fox, this blossoms into wonderful conversations between them that leads to the pull of undeniable chemistry. As Fox and Bailey get to know each other more the feelings become more deep. Will both of the pasts keep holding them back their growing feelings for each other..and also raising their children and working for the same company?

I loved this story and the steps that both Bailey and Fox had to take to navigate work, family and love….and to find balance. It had me rooting for Bailey and Fox through the entire story…and both characters are truly relatable in everyday life. Looking forward to more from this author and series!

Bailey and the CEO: A Corporate Love Story (A Better Man Book 1)

I just finished the book and still trying to come up with the best way to describe my thoughts on everything.

I love Fox, he is truly a fantasy man. I don’t know if there are men who are that good all the way around and treat women with such amazing respect.

Bailey is someone I could relate to in a way, we are both the mother of two daughters and pretty independent. Being the mother of two daughters is no easy feat, though she made it look a lot easier than it is and she was doing it alone.

I think every woman deserves a Fox in their life and I’m glad there wasn’t the angst with the two of them like there is in so many books. It works for the twenty somethings but not the mature adults.

This is my introduction to Ms. Barker and I wasn’t disappointed. I’m looking forward to keeping up with this series and meet some amazing couples.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bailey and the CEO is a sweet second chance at love type romance. The author gives you two characters who are single parents for different reasons, making them easily relatable. With character growth displayed without. If it be in the present or in a flashback, you can see how they’ve matured, especially with what they’ve been through.
Bailey is a widow with two teenage girls in her life. She loves her daughters and her job. Yet at times she still feels like she’s coming up short. Though she lost her husband to a freak accident, she’s never moved forward with her life. Stayed out of the dating scene because it was easier. Until one morning flight to Detroit changed it all.
Fox is the CEO. He’s also a divorcee with two well rounded teenage boys. At the same time he also feels like he is falling short in the parenting category. Running a company doesn’t give one much time for a life outside of work, but it also allowed him to notice Bailey. However after everything he has been through he’s hesitant to break his walls down. Even though he feels something for Bailey he can’t explain or has ever felt before. Unfortunately she’s not some random girl but a VP is his company.
These two characters have so much going for them. But together it’s the fear that’s making itself known.
Will they get by?
Will they let their fears go and nosedive head first?
Unfortunately there are some obstacles along the way that could derail them, including their own children. The author has you rooting for them to work out. You get invested and want what’s best for them. This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I look forward to others in the future.

Bailey and the CEO: A Corporate Love Story (A Better Man, Book 1) by Amy Q. Barker. This is the first in the A Better Man series and I can’t wait for the next one. Its a pretty clean, fun, second chance romance. Its the story of Fox who is the CEO of a company that Bailey works at. She is Vice President of her department and never lets anything come between her and her job except her 2 daughters. After her husband passed away she focused on nothing but work to get thru and she worked her way to the top. Fox has 2 sons and is also working his butt off to save this company but he has made it more than clear his boys are priority. When they meet on a plane ride they hit it off immediately and feel like they have known each other for years. Fox has always known that Bailey was beautiful but once he’s gotten to know her he’s smitten. This is such a pure, fun, love story that will keep you flipping pages until you are done!

This is the first book in The Better Man Series. This author has a way of writing stories that are beautifully written but also relatable. The characters are likeable and you can’t help but feel drawn into their story. It is a woman’s fiction story so it full of emotion which keeps you engaged in their story.
This is a story about finding love in a unlikely place and realising what is in front of you.
I loved Bailey’s character. She is so down the earth. She is a single mum to teenage girls so she has a lot on her plate already as well as a high powered position at work. Since her husband passed she has juggled it all by herself and in my eyes has done an amazing job.
However her marriage wasn’t all sunshine and roses as her husband came across as being a little cruel always putting her down and making her feel like she is failing all the time, so when he passes this is her opportunity to find herself again, to rediscover who she is and what she wants from life.
As she does that she catches the eye of Fox the CEO of the company she works for. Every women breathing is attracted to Fox and Bailey is no different but why would he look at her? There is nothing about her that’s special or attractive. But boy how wrong she is.
Fox feels an instant chemistry with Bailey and is amazed that she doesn’t know how stunning she is both inside and out. Fox will stop at nothing until she sees herself has he does.
This story is a really beautiful read. I feel a connection with Bailey as I’m a person who also doubts myself constantly and doesn’t see myself as anything special so I understand her confusion and apprehension when this stunning man who could have any women he wants chooses her. It is a sweet read and I can’t wait to read more in this series.

She’s a widow raising two teenage girls. He’s a divorcee raising two teenage boys. She works in HR and he’s the CEO. One day Fox walks by and calls Bailey by her name. She’s in shock because they’ve had so few interactions together. Then they end up on an airplane together and things start to change for them both. However, they are having to keep a secret, but at what costs?

The characters are relatable and “real”. They could be the people in any organization in today’s world. The story is believable. This author has a great way of weaving together a story that keeps you turning the page.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Amy Q. Barker wrote a great romance that proves that old-fashioned values are alive and well. Bailey and the CEO was an amazing read that shows that you can have a good clean romance filled with family values, good morals, and a fun storyline that keeps the reader interested from the first page to the last. Bailey and Fox are a match made in heaven and go to show throughout the story that past baggage does not have to hold people back from finding true love. Both of our main characters are parents of 2 kids each, Bailey has 2 daughters, and Fox has 2 sons. Neither one has taken much time for romance, until fate has other plans for them, although workplace romance is never easy, especially when one of the parties involved is the CEO of the company. This was a great romance that had me cheering for our main characters to fight for what they wanted and had a lot of wonderful lessons that parents of teens deal with regularly. This story was very realistic which made it an even bigger joy to experience. Bravo, I cannot wait to see the next book in this series.

4.5 Stars

 

Bailey and the CEO: A Corporate Love Story is the first book in A Better Man series by Amy Q. Barker. First of all, can we just take a moment to appreciate this beautiful cover, it is what drew me to the book. When I realised it was another of Ms. Barker’s books, it was an immediate one-click for me. Having loved her previous book, Lap Baby, I was excited to see what was on offer here.
This was a wonderful story about finally seeing and appreciating what’s right in front of you. It is a women’s fiction story that had all the warmth and emotion I was expecting from Ms. Barker’s work, woven with touching and tender moments, likeable characters, realism, depth, and substance.
As always, Ms. Barker has lovingly crafted her characters into really well-developed individuals with their own unique personalities, quirks, and flaws- making them very relatable, which resulted in an interesting and engaging story.
I am definitely looking forward to reading more from Ms. Barker, ASAP.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Amy Q. Barker!

I loved this story so much! From the very first chapter and all the way to the epilogue, I was drawn in and hooked. Bailey and Fox are two incredible characters that the reader gets to learn about and fall in love with as they learn to navigate their adventure together. So many different dynamics in the book were done so well and I didn’t want the story to end. Well done Amy Q Barker, this was a fantastic book, with a great romantic story without having to be over the top romance. This appears to be book 1 in the Better Man series and if that’s the case, I cannot wait to read the others!

Bailey is a widow with two teenager daughters, what time do I have for Life let alone a social life but one day will change the whole future.

Bailey is a VP in Havelin and is good at her job but when she has to take a trip to sort out a problem at the factory in St Louis she is surprised at who she is sitting next to.

Fox has had his ups and down, now the CEO of Havelin he is settled and the boys since his divorce, but his luck changes when he is seated next Bailey Grant one of his VP’s and a woman he has admired from a far. As the conversation flows and the chemistry is discovered between the two of them, Fox braves to ask her out which she accepts.

Over the weeks and months the relationship grows and gets stronger with feelings of love but when it comes to the crunch can they both overcome there histories and the stares of the company they will get.

This is the first book I have read by this author and it was a lovely romance novel about two people having bad histories to then finding the one person they should be with. Straight from the first chapter you get to see in the world of Bailey and fall in love with her instantly. I loved the way that the book had both POV’s but you had a fair few chapters in that persons mind which I think in better than swapping each page it sometimes gives you whiplash.

The character of Fox was brilliant just enough sweetness with the punch of being a strong alpha but not too much. The whole story is just a feel good story and with the secondary characters makes this book a great read. His interaction with his sons is warm and shows he is a great father, also the care he takes with understanding Bailey’s point of views is lovely to read.

I can’t wait to read more from this brilliant author.

We follow the story of Bailey, a widow with teenage daughters, she’s also a VP who loves her work and Fox the single father of two teenage boys and the CEO of her company after an unexpected meeting. Neither one was looking for romance but after their first conversation they were both caught with an instant connection. They must navigate the challenges of balancing their work, families, and the consequences of their relationship. Amy Q. Barker takes us through that journey and draws you into the characters and their world. I could not put this book down. There were so many emotions, all the laughs, tears and everything in between.

This is absolutely one of my favorite types of romance novels; we have our heroine, Bailey, who is successful and hardworking, while still being genuine and relatable. She is also raising her 2 daughters. Fox makes a really sweet and sexy main man, who is a hardworking dad of 2 boys. She and Fox work together, but until now, haven’t really had much interaction, but during a plane ride, sparks fly. I thought all of their interactions were so sweet and adorable. They are two caring and loving people, trying to navigate figuring out their relationship as well as the struggles with working together in a corporate world. This was a fairly quick read, but everything about it just struck the perfect notes. I also loved that it was told through both POV so we could see what both Bailey and Fox were thinking. An absolutely wonderful book for anyone who wants a sprinkle of romance in their lives.

This is the first book that I have read by Amy Q Baker and it will certainly not be my last. This is a very sweet love story between Bailey and the CEO OF HAVELIN (the company that she works for) Fox.

Fox and Bailey meet innocently on a plane trip where they were both on their way to seperate work functions in seperate cities. Enjoying her company Fox gathers the courage to ask her out and they swap numbers.

In some respects it was very slow going, but there was a lot for this couple to work through and the important thing is that they got there in the end overcoming so pretty heavy realistic baggage.

I look forward to reading more from Amy in the future – it’s always great to find another author that I enjoy!

This author knows how to make you fall in love with the characters and the storyline, that’s for sure! What a wonderful read this turned out to be. Truly could not put down!

Bailey Grant has been an employee of Havelin for several years, even working there with her late husband. She has worked her way up to a VP position. All while raising her daughters alone for several years.

When Fox Goodman the new CEO is brought on board everyone finds him attractive, Bailey included. Several years into his CEO job a twist of fate brings these 2 together.

Will the challenges they face tear them apart or make them stronger? Will the fact that he is the CEO and she is a VP within the company become an issue? Take a journey on their story, from both perspectives and you will fall in love with these two characters!

This book hit me on a few levels. It was so adorable first of all! Talk about second chances after kids! And not only second chances but honestly true first loves. This story is about Bailey and Fox. Their story is electric! Fox has become a CEO of a company that Bailey has worked for, for quite some time. She has worked her way up the ladder so to speak. Finally becoming VP in her department! After her husband passing away, it has taken a lot of time to get passed some things. But by chance her and CEO Fox, end up on a plane ride together and hit it off. It’s like they are old friends. Talking about everything. Anything! Finding common ground in so many ways! Both single parents. Trying to navigate the corporate world, but also be mom AND dad at the same time. Kids are a job in themselves. They need to eat right. Get outside and off their devices! Spend time with what family they have. And most impotently be supported by their parent! Right? Fox isn’t your typical CEO. He was brought in to fix issues and he sole focus it his kids and doing just that. Turning the company around will take a lot of focus. Does he have time for anything else? I found the characters so relatable. The author hooks you in with both of their stories that will put you into some emotions!! You can’t help by feel for all of them! The kids and the trauma the adults have fought through! Defiantly a cute romantic must read!

This is an okay story. I really wanted to like it as I love a workplace romance. This one moves along very slowly and honestly I found myself flipping pages and did not miss anything. Bailey is an intricate character as she has had a difficult past and had kind of become a new woman. I liked the connection between them but again there is a lot of thought processing in their heads thats the author is using to connect the characters to the reader. I am not a fan of too much of that. So this one was a struggle for me. Others might enjoy but to me its just okay. I fo love the cover though!

I thoroughly enjoyed this heartwarming romance which kept me happily turning the pages. Bailey is a widow who’s raising two teenage daughters and works as VP of Quality at Havelin. Meanwhile Fox is divorced and has two teenage sons and is the CEO of Havelin. When the pair have a chance encounter whilst on a plane journey, they are instantly attracted to one another, and sparks definitely fly. They soon discover that they have a real connection, and despite neither of them looking for romance they both want to take a chance on love. However, relationships between employer and employees in the corporate world is frowned upon and they find their developing relationship has many obstacles for them to overcome. This is a feel-good, uplifting corporate love story which I literally could not put down. I found this was a real page turner with a romantic storyline between two likeable and relatable characters. The descriptive narrative brought the setting to life, whilst the plot had enough drama along with the romance to keep me hooked. The chemistry between Bailey and Fox sizzled off the page and I enjoyed the dual narrative as this enabled me to feel engaged with them both. An enjoyable and engaging read and one which I recommend!

I wasn’t sure what to think when I decided to read this book. I wasn’t sure how the characters were going to relate and if this would be a hidden love affair. This one did not disappoint. I love the fact that the main female character has a career and isn’t shown as some needy girl. That made me want to keep turning the pages and finding out more about her. I also enjoyed the fact that she is mom. That isn’t something that we typically see in romance books. The main male character is also a single dad. This story just melted my heart. I love, love and this book had so much love between them. They had a spark and took a chance. It is such a sweet romance story. It kept me turning page after page because I just fell for the characters. This is a quick read and definitely worth it. I feel that this a true classic romance story that definitely hits different. I can’t wait to read more from this author. If this book is anything to go off of, I am a fan.

I thought the author did an amazing job with her character development. I really liked Fox as well and I admit I’d probably have fallen for his charm too!
A really sweet story and one that I absolutely loved reading. I would definitely recommend this book to other readers.

Bailey and the CEO: A Corporate Love Story is the first book in the A Better Man Series. This is a wonderfully written Women’s Fiction sweet romance that I absolutely loved reading. This is a fairly new author to me and I’m definitely a fan. Her style of writing and attention to detail along with fully developed, complex , yet relatable characters make for an epic story. Let me just say how beautiful and relaxing the cover is I could sit there for hours staring out across that pond. Bailey is a strong independent woman who is the VP of Quality ,a widow and raising two teenage daughters. Bailey is good at her job she pours her heart and soul into it. She feels like she is missing something but not sure she’s ready for dating or has the time until Fox and their evening together. Fox is a divorced man raising two teenage boys and the CEO of Havelin. He notices Bailey and how beautiful and smart she is but when a plane ride together and him asking her out things definitely going to change. These two have a lot in common and their romance is sweet . Being in a relationship with the CEO is more complicated than one might think. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. Im looking forward to reading more from this Author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bailey is juggling her dedication to her work and being a single parent to two girls. She goes with the flow and does her best, even when she feels she is lacking. A chance moment though has Bailey on a plane with Fox Goodman, her companies CEO.

Fox Goodman can’t say he has never noticed Bailey, she is stunningly beautiful. Being next to her on a plane he takes the chance to get to know her and he likes everything they discuss. Fox being the father of two boys he understands more than most how she feels juggling work and family. Taking a chance he asks her out and she accepts, with so many obstacles in their path will they be able to find their happiness?

I truly enjoyed this book. I felt like a bystander watching these wonderful characters fall for one another. Bailey was such an intriguing character and I loved the way she was with Fox. Fox who has a ton of self confidence is somewhat awkward with Bailey in a really sweet way. The kids, I liked that they were a big part of the story and that they had unique personalities. Will be reading more from this author.
