What a delightfully engaging, deliciously sexy, heartbreakingly painful, and wonderfully fun read! Whew! If that isn’t enough to let you know I loved this book, I just don’t have the words.

’I’ve died and gone to layover bad-girl heaven.’

This was first and foremost a fun read as Emily and Jameson bounce back and forth between intense sexual chemistry and what some might consider all-out war. Their banter was sharp and quick making me smile and laugh. And when they were in the throes of battle it was border line antagonistic and sometimes even mean. It was absolutely perfect.

While Jameson could really serve out a dishing of cold attitude, Emily was more than capable of counteracting it. She was quick to let him know what she thought of him when he acted this way. I adored her for it.

The first part of this book is filled with delicious smexy times mixed with arguments the likes I’ve never read before. But they are constantly moving forwards in their rather bizarre way. The last ¾ is when things take a turn and the angst is ramped up. So much begins to happen that I could not put this book down and found myself staying up until 3:00 a.m. to find out what was going to happen.

I did struggle some over Jameson’s behavior towards the end, and there were times that the character motivation for such actions seem to be a bit all over the place. The plotline during these times just felt somewhat loose and I would have liked things to have a tighter pull to them.

Either way, I still absolutely loved these characters and this story as a whole. I was completely engaged the entire time and it stirred pretty much every emotion that can be stirred in a romance. I really can’t express how much I enjoyed this book and I’m looking forward to reading the next one in the series!

I started off really enjoying this book, but as it progressed, too many little things popped up that made it hard to like the characters. Jameson's personality was all over the place. Half of the time he acted like a petulant child, then he'd switch to alpha male to sweet lover and back again. It wasn't cohesive or believable. The way he treated Emily near the 3/4 was awful and the fact that she was so willing to go back with him after a little groveling didn't show a healthy relationship, especially because they only dated for three months- sometimes it's okay to move on. Jameson's brother, Tristan, was probably my favorite character. I believe his book is next and I though Swan's writing was good enough that I will probably pick it up. I just hope our characters are a little better developed.

What a roller coaster of a story. The chemistry between Emily and Jameson is off the charts and this book is super hot. It’s full of emotion and angsty. Some of the dialogue was overly cheesy though and at times the characters acted like teenagers. There’s a lot of eye rolling and I definitely wanted to smack them both several times. But this story is drama, drama, drama. I enjoyed the ridiculousness though and I’m definitely gonna check out more from this author.

This was my first book by the author, and will be reading more. I think she could be popular with our customers. Loved the secondary characters and the dynamics of friendship they brought to the storyline. Several good moments of interaction that had humor intertwined with romance. Not over the top steamy but maybe think twice before recommending to more conservative readers.

The Stopover is my first book by T.L Swan, but it certainly won't be my last. As it was such a well written, well paced, and brilliantly enjoyable story. With strong, realistic characters, sharp banter, and a plot line that balanced perfectly the sizzling heat Jameson and Emily generated with everything else it had going on. Including an interesting minor storyline involving a rival media mogul. Still, I must admit to finding this story a bit too long and the ending a touch abrupt and flat compared to the rest of it. Yet, nonetheless it was a totally engrossing and entertaining read. With a unique proposal that will remain with me for a long time. And it certainly kept me up far too late, which is never a bad thing in my book.

I would happily recommend it to others.

Clever and Captivating New York Romance.

This my perfect romance novel. It had just about everything I look for in a great romance and rated a 5 in just about every one of those categories. It had plenty of steam between the two main characters, dirty talk, witty repartee, bickering between the strong female heroine and the Alpha male Hero, jealously, an intriguing plot with a mystery, awesome supporting characters and more. The writing was terrific the flow and timing was excellent with no long periods where I was waiting for something to happen. I would recommend this to anyone who likes romance.

It says is is over 500 pages but it truthfully felt like only a few hundred and I rarely say that, it ever. This book went very fast with a lot of laugh out loud moments, sexy scenes and a great background storyline. It starts out with Emily Foster having a terrible day as she waits in line at the airport to check in for her flighty New York. She ends up getting bumped up to first class which has never happened before and though the guy sitting next to her let’s her have the window seat, he just won’t shut up and annoys her.

However, after talking and drinking champagne throughout the entire flight the two have become friendly. They are unable to land in New York where she has a job interview, and instead are routed to Boston for a night due to a snowstorm. After her only one night stand and the best time she has ever had, her traveling companion Jim leaves in the morning without ever asking for her number.

Fast forward one year and Emily has now had that interview at her dream job and moves to New York. On her first day at work, she meets the CEO of the company, Jameson Miles, her former one night stand. Jameson wants to pick up where they left off because he is intensely attracted to Emily. Though Emily is put off with the fact that he never even bothered to ask for her phone number. She has a boyfriend and is not interested in a few nights of fun at the expense of her dream job.


Oh my God. I have a boyfriend. Shit. “I’m so sorry if I gave you the wrong idea.” I take a step back from him. “I have a boyfriend,” I blurt out.
His face falls in horror. “What?”
“I know.” I wince. “I . . . I . . .” I shake my head because I have no words that can get me out of this. “I have a boyfriend, and I can’t go out with you.”
“Dump him,” he fires back.
“What?” I croak.
“You heard me. Dump him.” He reaches for me.


The way Jameson goes about getting Emily to agree to go out with him is pretty funny. He is a wealthy handsome Alpha male who has never heard the word “no”. So he has no idea of boundaries and it is entertaining to say the least. There is also a mystery in the office as someone In Emily’s work area is selling company secrets to the biggest competitor, who happens to be Miles’ nemesis. Emily figures out what is going on so is brought in with Jameson and his brother Tristan to help.

Tristan is one of three of Jameson’s brothers and is the head of Acquisitions at Miles Media in New York, while Elliot and Christopher both work out of the London office. Tristan is the nice guy to Jameson’s Cranky brooding type, but they work well together and Tristan plays a big part in this book. The other two do make an appearance though.

I roll my eyes in disgust. “The Miles brothers are overrated, if you ask me.”
They’re not, though. I’m lying through my teeth. All with dark hair, tall, and built . . . square jaws in their designer playboy suits. Everything about the four of them screams power and gorgeousness. Assholes.


At the end of The Stopover, we get the first Chapter of The Takeover, book 2 in the Miles High Club. If you haven’t yet guessed, since Tristan is the head of Acquisitions, this is his story and I for one, can’t wait.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Emily ends up finding herself in first class after waiting in line at the airport and someone becomes loud and obnoxious. There she meets a sexy as hell man that makes her heart race am her panties melt. They share a sexually charged flight and from there things gets hotter. fast forward months and they guy she couldn't forget was starring at her across the desk. What is a girl to do when her new boss was the guy that rocked her moths before? The chemistry between the characters was so hot and intense. I read this book twice before I even wrote this review. Thank you NetGalley for letting me read this book.

The Stopover is book 1 in The Miles High Club. Jim and Emily meet on a flight after Emily is upgraded to First Class and a problem at the airport where they need to land leads to a stopover. Their interaction through out the flight range from funny to smoking hot. The chemistry between the two was awesome and it leads to an amazing night. Fast forward one year and Emily finally lands the job of her dreams in NYC for Miles Media and guess who is the CEO. Honestly for the majority of the book I felt that this was going to be another 5 star from this author, but unfortunately there were a few things that kept happening that I had to hold back a star. First Jim is super naughty with a dirty mouth which I love. He's bossy and dominate which was sexy especially when Emily who was cute and feisty didn't listen. What is not sexy I also found he acted like a spoiled little boy to many times for me to ignore and while I love an alpha jerk, I hated the way he treated Emily at times. Emily was great, I loved that she was feisty and loved with everything she had. I could have done without all the begging she did after an incident at the end but I did like how she didn't immediately forgive Jim. Overall I would definietly recommend this book and I look forward to more in this series.

The Stopover was a delightful read of love, trials and tribulations. It spoke to me with easy reading and the rom- com genre was addictive for Saturday reading.
I was slightly disappointed in the ending though. It just seemed to stop.
Overall; it was a fun read that I would definitely recommend.

I've always been a sucker for a good romcom, and this book's blurb drew me in. The cover and the title was pretty intruiging too, and before I know it, I've already downloaded it and started reading. There are certain elements that i look for everytime i read romcoms, the chemistry of the couple, the plot, character development and of course how the two main characters got their HEA.

So for the chemistry... boy oh boy, Jameson and Emily sure got that in spades. The attraction was undeniable, and surely those first few pages hooked me into their world. Overall, the plot was good enough to make me curious until the very last page. There were some plot twists i did not see coming, but there were also romcom cliches that you would come to expect from this genre. The only thing that I would have asked for something more was their character development, which is why i couldn't give a 5 star. I wished both Jameson and Emily's relationship had developed sooner in the story. Although of course, i can't fault the author for sticking close to how couples these days develop into their relationship. I laughed, i cried, got annoyed on some of their stupid adult mistakes, and fell in love when they kissed and made up all over again.

The ending gave me all the happy feels and contentment i seriously crave from rom com reads. If you're into books that bring sexy, romance, angst, hurt, laughter, and happy into your heart. Then you might just enjoy this book as much as i did. Happy reading!

This is a certified honest-to-goodness review from a self-proclaimed bookworm. Getting a free copy of this book from NetGalley did not, in any way, affect the authenticity and objectivity of this review.

T L Swan is a genius! There’s just no other word for it. She has brought those characters into real life and made them human like. There are times in the book where you don’t know whether you want to kick or kiss Jameson. But let’s face it I think everybody is cheering for Emily from the beginning. I was unable to put this book down.

Hot, emotionally charged, sexy, romantic love story, that keeps you gripped until the finish.

A chance meeting with a deep connection, a one night stand that reaches deeper feelings than is first realised. High powered business, a new job that throws this all into the same orbit where the fireworks really start to happen.

Emotional feelings that can't be denighed, in the hardest of personal and professional circumstances finally won through for a happy ever after ending.

A great read.

Wow! I absolutely loved this book. I couldn't put this book down until I finished it.

Jameson and Emily meet on a plane by chance & instantly sparks fly. After one hot night together, they go back to their lives. Fast forward a year and Emily lands her dream job at Miles Media, but she’s in for the shock of her life when her new boss turns out to be the one and only Jameson. Only this time Jameson is not the same person Emily met on that plane and she is not putting up with his hot tempered attitude and games. That is where the real story begins.

Filled with humor, love, drama, heartbreak and wonderful secondary characters, this book is a true gem. Emily has balls of steal and is not letting anyone boss her around and tell her what to do. She fights with her heart and knows what she wants and how to get it out of life. While Jameson is the definition of workaholic alpha male with a temper that can shake the walls. He doesn’t know how to have both the job he was made for and the woman who he can’t stay away from.

I couldn’t stop routing for this couple even when everything hit the fan, I still held out hope. I didn’t not want this story to end. Not only was this story beautifully written but the steam was off the charts. Damn.

This is my first book by TL Swan and it definitely wont be my last. This is definitely one of my favorite books of the year.

Thank you to the Montlake Romance and NetGalley for giving me with this wonderful ARC.

Not for me.
The romance was very poor with very little character development. The characters didn't seem to enjoy each other a whole lot outside of the bedroom. Disappointing.

Thanks to NetGalley for a copy of The Stopover by TL Sawn in exchange of an honest review.

Took me by surprise how much I enjoyed this book. Even when at time I wasn’t okay with scenes that happened, I could still enjoy the book these flawed characters.

I must say, there isn’t much more I love other than insta-love. This book had it! Another thing is, a women who understand she needs to be respected and hears. We had it! This book was a hit for me in many ways, I can’t even begin to explain it.

It makes me want to read more of her work, for sure.

Nice idea to be further developed
Too much bickering and fighting
Too much sex the fuck like rabbits and do not communicate
He is an ass control freak no clubbing no talk with ex
Too many many pages
Being brief is a plus somethings
But nice idea and some parts were enjiable so 2 ⭐️⭐️

Five Sexy AF Stars!!

T.L Swan is an automatic one-click author for me and she has totally outdone herself with this book! This book is so hot that you’ll need a cold drink and a fan.

A one-night stand turns into something so much more. These two had an instant connection. I loved their banter, I loved their attraction to each other. The back and forth is fun and the sexy times are freaking insanely hot.

Jameson and Emily are my newest favorite book couple.

Addictive
Hot
Unputdownable
A MUST READ!

2.75 - 3 Stars

Spoiler Warning
I was so excited to read this book! I don't know why but I love romances that start at an airport/an flight to somewhere and the reviews so far were really good...unfortunately it didn't meet my expectations.

The book started promising with Jameson and Emily meeting on the plane. I think it was cute and they had good chemistry until Chapter 7. I think that's when it went downhill for me. How Jameson was cold one moment and then hot the next second was so annoying after a while. Additionally he was such an control-freak. He forbid Em to go clubbing without him and was so pushy. But at the same time he cracked me up so much! I would probably give one star just for chapter 19 the camping scene. Jameson was literally me when someone would ever force me camping!!! Honestly I don't know if the scene is funny or not but I was laughing so hard, cause I could relate to Jameson in that moment so much. He was such a diva and absolutely dramatic af, but I loved it! How he said he wouldn't stay anywhere without a bathroom - ME! Let me give you some other examples:

I hear another slap. "What the hell?" he cries.
"What?"
"These bugs are from Jurassic Park." He swings his arms around to get them off him. "No bugs are this big."

not one second later

<i>"Ahh" he cries as he slaps his arms. "I'm getting fucking malaria over here, Emily."</i>

<i>"For God's sake get the bug spray, princess. It's in the bag of supplies in the truck."
"We have bug spray?" He looks at me deadpan. "Now you fucking tell me, after I've lost four pints of blood already."
He storms to the truck and I hear the spray can go ... and go ... and go ... and go.
"Are you saving any for me?" I call.
"This is man versus wild, and every man is for himself. Don't you watch Survivor? I'm voting you off the island tonight," he calls before launching into a coughing attack and waving the air in front of him.</i>

<i>He smirks, and then a crash of lightning hits so close it sounds like it hit a tree right next to us.
"We're going to fucking die tonight," he stammers in a panic.</i>

Jameson the CEO of Miles Media pissed me off more often than not, but "Jim" or "Jay" or how he wants to be called when he's outside of work was cracking me up. Emily was just fine. I just didn't like how she got so dependant on Jameson and was so whiny & desperate at the "conflict". The side characters like Aaron, Molly, Tristan and Viagra Mike were a huge plus. I love reading about healthy friendships and family relationships!

Overall this book was just way too long. The story is over 500 pages long and some scenes were repetitive (the cold/hot shoulder mentioned above) and unnecessary. The Stopover is my first T.L. Swan book and I didn't want to continue with the series, but after reading the Sneak Peak for the Turnover I'm kind of looking forward to read Tristan and Claire's story.

Will i recommend it?-absolutely!
It is the best of TL Swan till date. So watchout for it!

Did a drunk person ever kicked your luggage at Heathrow Airport and talked nasty to you? Well and immediately after that have you been upgrated to first class where you met the most gorgeous man you have ever seen? No? Well our girl Emily has been there and done that. Or rather done him*ahem*.
Anyways this first book in the brand new series by TL Swan deals with a young,bright eyed Journalist Emily and the cynical billionaire bachelor Jameson Miles. They met on a roundabout flight from London to Chicago. Both of them were insanely attracted to one another from the very first time they met. Emily was returning home from a friend's wedding where she also had a not-so-meet cute with her then Ex and his latest side-piece(Emma's words not mine👐). And Jameson or "Jim" As he introduced himself as was too returning home to NYC. They met,they flirted,they watched Magic Mike together,they drank a whole lotta flight champaineand so when they had a Stopover at Boston due to weather inconviniences, Emily despite of herself had a very streamy one night stand with her "dream boat" of a man. But Jameson never promised anything more and never asked for her phone number,so Emily,though with great reluctance,let the idea of him go. But not before giving him her scarf to hide the hickey that she gave him(yeah Ikr?! A HICKEY!!!). Damn! that was some night between them.
Anyways,fast forward One year later, Emily had nailed her dream job at Miles Media. But the poor girl didn't know that her "Jim" is actually billionaire Jameson Miles and imagine her shock when she had a one one with the top guy and finds her beloved dream boat Jim behind the corporate desk at the top floor,giving her his panty melting smirk! They had a brief conversation where Emily(now with a boyfriend) tells Jameson that the night between them should never ve mentioned again. And also pointed out that he is just not the type of guy she usually goes after(BURN). Oviously our "big boy" Jameson does not listen to her and starts actively pursuing her,bribing her with chocolate,cakes and also observing her with a camera. These all should turn Emily off and make her run for the hills(basically the cam bit) but it has the opposite effect. Emily starts to vent partly because of her deadbeat,former football player boyfriend who lives at his parent's basement,plays video games all day and ignores her most of the time. And when he refused to move to NYC for a fresh start with her,they unfortunately broke up. Emily and Jameson soon after started an started seeing each other and ofcourse started falling in love. But none of them says so to the other one. But thats the good part of the story. The better half is filled with conspiracy and company fraud and unfortunately Jameson and Emily's budding relation gets caught in the middle. And when Jameson,despite knowing that Emily loves him, intensionally hurts her, the shit finally hits the fan. Cause you see, Emily decided that she loves herself more and deserves better(I whole heartedly agree with her!).....

“Falling in love with you is what isn’t fair. I never stood a chance . . . you knew that all along. You keep your heart in a tightly sealed Miles-High icebox, only to be looked at.”

God! My heart broke for them both. Jameson did some pretty irreversible things in their relationship which is pretty difficult to forget. What happened next you say? Did they get their happily ever after? Well you have to watch out for the book and see what happens to their story cause I don't wanna spoil the fun😂 Just that they do get their happily ever after but it was a long road and Jameson had to travel on his 'Grovelling' "car " to get to his happily ever after! All the secondary characters in this story were awesome! Specially Tristan. Omg! i can't wait for his story next! I loved every thing about this book and I am so so happy that I got a Advance Reader's Copy through Netgalley. I am very very thankful. And anyways I had a great time reading it. Finished it in almost 12 hours and I will recommend it to every one of TL Swan's fans and also anyone who enjoys a good ole story of a miserable,cynical,billionaire and his fiesty sassy "FB". Happy reading ...xoxo.

Not for me this book sorry and didn't like all the swearing (F words) in it.

Thank you to Netgalley and Amazon Publishing for giving me the opportunity to read this book (I did try!).
