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!).

I liked the concept -- meet cute on a flight, amazing lay-over (yes, pun intended), reunited one year later to discover handsome man is a media mogul billionaire that you now work for. Overall, I felt the story went a little long, featured super needy characters and the writing would've been better with more polish. For instance, how many times does the writer have her heroine "giggle"? So many, I lost count.

Wow, This book had it all. It was hot, there was buildup/ chemistry, lots of humor and over the top alphaness. I love this book. I cannot wait for Tristan's book! I fell like Emily and Jameson's relationship is like a rollar coaster. Both of their tempers are horrible but I think it adds so much humor to the book. This book was really good. The story line sucked you in and i rad this cover to cover last night. I seriously think the author outdid themselves with the start of this series.

Thank you netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review

This novel was intense from the beginning. I liked how spunky and funny Emily was. I enjoyed the banter on the plane with Jameson but I did not like how controlling and arrogant Jameson turned out to be. He sexualized the entire relationship with Emily and he selfishly made it about him. He told her to dump her boyfriend and got jealous when other men spoke to her. It was a bit too much for my liking but I'm giving it three stars because I liked Emily.

I enjoyed this novel very much. The characters were extremely well drawn and sympathetic, and the story line was seamless. Highly reccomend this excellent book.

Oh. My. God.

It's been a LONG time since I've been this sucked into a book. Holy cow.

First off, don't make the same mistake I did. I started this book on a Sunday evening - fatal error. Was up ALL night reading. It's THAT good. Set aside a full day, because you won't be able to put this one down.

From their very first meeting, the chemistry between Emily and Jim/Jay/Jameson is off the charts. I've never loved two characters like I did these two, and I read a LOT of romance novels. This book had everything - beautiful characters, toe-curling sex scenes, just enough drama and angst to keep you engaged without pissing you off, sweet scenes that really show you how the characters are growing together... oof.

Yes, the end made me mad. I wanted to smack some sense into both of them. But what great book doesn't make you want to scream a little?

Incredible writing, incredible characters, incredible story. I'm going to buy this book (I received an ARC) just because it was that freaking good and I need to make sure the author knows my appreciation for her words.

Highly recommend!

This book shocked the heck out of me! I was not expecting to love this story as much as did. The authors ability to pull you in and take you on a never ending suspenseful and down right gritty and hot as sin wild ride. You won’t be able to sit this one down till you’ve devoured the whole thing in one sitting!

Now, I can’t wait to get my hands on Tristan’s story!

*ARC kindly given for my honest opinion from @netgalley.

The Stopover is another good read from this author, maybe not my favourite that being shared between Mr Masters and Dr Stanton.
Emily and Jameson meet on a flight, Emily having been upgraded to first class, they hit it off and by the time they have to have a stopover at Boston due to inclement weather they share a hotel room and have a great deal of very satisfying sex.
Fast forward a year and Emily is in New York starting a much wished for position at Miles Media as a reporter. The CEO turns out to be non other than Jameson and the strong attraction between them is still there. So restarts their relationship, very intense, romantic and with great banter and not without some major disagreements.
All seems to be going well when suddenly something happens that really adds much drama and suspense to the story, this was extremely emotional and very well written.
I have to add I really became fed up with the constant mention of Emily’s ‘goofy smile’ I think it must have been mentioned in every chapter and did become very trying. That said as usual with this author this was extremely well written engaging and entertaining .
My grateful thanks to Net galley and publisher for the opportunity to review this book honestly.

Oh my!! Meeting a handsome guy on a long flight, that’s where Jameson and Emily meet. Their plan has to land at another airport and they have one super magical night. No numbers exchanged. Move forward a year and Emily is working for him, unbeknownst to her. When they figure it out, it is on!! Unfortunately, they both have a lot of things to deal with. And their relationship is rocky from the start. Can they both overcome their stubbornness and put aside those who want to hurt them to have a true relationship?? Amazing read!!

I enjoyed the writing but I couldn't get over my negative feelings for the hero. I think the author tried really hard to redeem him, but I wish in the end the heroine did better for herself. She settled too easily. I'm really bummed because I have enjoyed author's other books.

I anticipate every book that TL Swan puts out and this book absolutely did not disappoint! Once I started reading I could not put it down! I think Jameson was her biggest alphahole that she has written and I loved every moment of it. Emily...that girl was fierce! These two were the perfect match! The roller coaster of emotions that you ride throughout this book will tear you up and put you back together before you’ve realized what has happened. I’ve been happily sucked into this whole new world of characters and I can’t wait to read the rest of the Miles brothers stories!

Ooh. Lots of passion and not so much romance, if you get my meaning. When the flight that Emily and Jim are on has an unexpected layover in Boston, they spend one unforgettable night together, one and done so to speak. Fast forward a year and Emily has finally got her dream job working as a reporter for Miles Media, and who does she meet on her first day? Yep, Jim, the CEO! Now being that Emily is a reporter, and has been trying to get a position at Miles Media for several years, you would think she would know a bit about the owners, but hey ho, she had no clue. Herein starts a very tumultuous love/hate relationship. A story with lots of sex and passion, some funny bits, some emotional scenes and added in to the mix is a mystery to solve. Enjoyable and entertaining. I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. This is my honest review.

Oh man, what a story!

Enjoyed it so much which I had no doubt I will as I'm a huge fan of TL Swan books.

A very engaging love story, I got addicted to it from the first lines and there was no way of putting my kindle down until I got to the end of the book. It's a complete page-turner!

Beautifully written, suspenseful and swoony this story was just what I thought it will be. I was constantly glued to my kindle because every chapter was loaded with turns, twists and some drama between the characters. And that chemistry between our main characters was just a cherry on top.

Main characters journey was witty, sexy, funny, touching, angsty and with plenty of action. Every single character was lovable and relatable, they were developed to perfection and I couldn't stop admiring our main heroine's personality. She is my new best book girlfriend, completely in love with her :-) And of course, there has to be a dominating alpha male character. He doesn't take No for an answer but what a nice surprise awaits him when he meets Emily, who doesn't wrap words in cotton nor has trouble saying what she really thinks or feels.

The book is full of lust and banter between these two and it was a really fun and entertaining read, I can't recommend enough this book, you have to read it and you can thank me later.

This was such a great standalone romance read. I enjoyed Emily and Jameson's story a lot. It was full of action and entertainment from the very beginning. Their conversations were interesting and their story was a steamy one. I laughed a lot while reading this story. Their back and forth banter was non-stop from beginning to end and although I loved the banter, when it came to their relationship their back and forth was a lot at times. I wanted them to make a choice and stick with it. However, the ending was sweet and I defintiely look forward to reading Tristan's story in the next book because I enjoyed his character a lot in this story. This story is one that is worth reading.
