Praise for this book
"The Magnate’s Manifesto was an engrossing chemistry-filled scandalous read from beginning to end." - Joyfully Reviewed - Best of 2014
"Hayward's must-read romance is a heart-stopping page turner with an intriguing, jaw-dropping twist. The glitzy locales are over-the-top perfect and intensely explosive intimacies are mind-blowing." Romantic Times Magazine - Best Harlequin Presents for 2014
"The Magnate’s Manifesto by Jennifer Hayward is definitely one of the best Presents I have read this year. It has a very different concept, lots of drama (just the right amount), a serious kick ass heroine and a steamy passionate romance.
Jared Stone is a tech visionary and a rebel (think Steve Jobs). His opinion on women needed some serious correction and Bailey was just the heroine to do so. He was a stubborn, alpha hero who acted like a jerk in the beginning but became tolerable after the first few chapters when he started supporting Bailey. My favorite part of the story is definitely Bailey. She is no simpering female and does not take things lying down. She was a fighter, a survivor who had the courage stand up and give as good as she got. Her past was full of struggle and she had to work really hard to get everything in her life. If you like a soft, vulnerable, in need of rescuing heroine, then you may be disappointed with Bailey. There is even a villain in the story who is just pure evil and beyond redemption. He definitely took the story a notch higher!
The romance is passionate, intense and totally toe curling. I think this might be Jennifer Hayward’s BEST book yet and I can’t wait to read more from her. A must read for every Presents lover!" Harlequin Junkie - Top Pick of 2014
"This is the first book I’ve read by Jennifer Hayward, but it won’t be the last. Jared Stone started out as a first class butthead, but when you find out what has shaped his view of women, you can’t help but feel for him. You will ultimately root for him as well! And, when Bailey’s past comes out?! Wow! You will instantly love her. She has literally built herself from the ground up, and is such a strong and believable character , that you will absolutely fall in love with her. Hayward’s world building was spot on as well. And, for you who have an aversion to “instalove” (is that a word??), this one is for you. Even though they are both attractive, it takes a minute for the actual emotional attraction to build. The Magnate’s Manifesto is ultimately about coming to terms with one’s past and knowing that we are all, at one time or another, guilty of letting our past shape the way we see others, and ourselves. Well done, Jennifer Hayward, very well done."
"I have been a huge fan of this author's books since her debut The Divorce Party landed in my hands, I love the fiery passion , the utterly gorgeous romance and incredibly fascinating plots she conjures up, and because all her books have been five stars and very memorable reads, I did not really think she could come up with anything better because according to me she was already at the top of her game.
I was wrong, so very wrong. The Magnate's Manifesto is her best book yet! The passion and intrigue as from her previous books was again there, but with a really fantastic twist to the plot that I did not see coming!
From the character of Jared and his hilarious manifesto to the moment his world comes crashing down when Bailey teaches him there's more to woman that burning up the bed-sheets to the very fun and spunky Bailey learning there's more to life then work, I loved it all.
The read is full of delicious tension, fabulous passion, full of life humor, remarkable characters and a very compelling plot. And best of all the author has once again pulled an extremely important life lesson from it all.
You are only as good as you let yourself be, because if you let your past hold you back and make your future decisions based on the past there really is no way you will ever reach the top. You will to the outside world look as if you have reached that high note, but in the darkness you will simply just still be you a lonely girl trapped in a life she never wanted or a boy simply wishing he was someone else. Fight and claw your way to the top but never let the past come back to knock you down, what's known to the world today will only make you look better tomorrow simply because you did not let it pull you under.
I highly recommend this read, it's fire and ice meets passion and lace! Boardroom, bedroom no matter the room these two are about to burn down the house, and it's electrifying explosions all round! Simply utter perfection!
