Hilarious, hot AF and pretty emotional at some points.
"When I'm holding her in my arms like this, intimacy is running between us like a river, and just for a moment...She is mine."
Tristan Miles always gets what he wants. Until Claire Anderson - widow, mother of three boys, and desperately trying to keep her late husband's company afloat. Claire doesn't want anything to do with the soul-sucking takeover king. Tristan wants nothing more than to have her.
"Tristan Miles is lingering in my soul...and the bastard won't leave."
I loved Tristan's obsession over Claire. He chases and chases her. She couldn't deny the blistering chemistry between them. The passion between them was FIRE!!! He was a dirty-talking god and it was thrilling to see Claire positively bloom when she was with him. I loved that she was the opposite of what he usually wanted but that she was everything that he needed. I loved that he made her made her feel truly alive again and, in turn, she made him feel truly like himself - like the person he was supposed to be. My heart broke for him as Claire wrestled with her guilt over moving on and her love for Tristan, but I adored how her boys wanted him in their lives more than anything. Such a fun read, with fabulous banter and plenty of feels.
This is a perfect fit for readers who crave a lighthearted and emotional romance with a strong focus on enemies-to-lovers and single mom themes, and who enjoy a fast-paced story with a dash of humor and a swoon-worthy older man-younger woman romance.
The Takeover by T L Swan is Book Two in The Miles High Club series and it gets better and hotter. I Loved the first one and this two has become my favorite.
I Highly Recommend it to all readers.
The Takeover is the second book in The Miles High Club series. This book is told from dual points of view from Tristan and Claire.
Claire is a single parent, and Tristan is infatuated with her from the beginning. She's older than him, thinks she's to old for him, so she puts him through the ringer.
I loved the banter between Tristan and Claire, and I can't wait to see what happens next in this series. Can Claire get past the age difference? Can she trust Tristan to be there for her child or just up and bail? Will they get their happy ending?
Claire Anderson is trying to keep it all together. Five years after her husband died in a car accident, she is raising her three sons and trying to keep her business from folding and being bought out by Tristan Miles and Miles Media. Claire is urged to take a week at a wellness retreat in France where she is surprised to see Tristan. They have instant chemistry, but Claire hates him because he tried to buy her company. After spending a few days bantering, they finally admit their attraction. They are so hot and heavy, Claire decides to spend the weekend in Paris with him. Then it is back to reality where she think she has seen the last of Tristan. But he is not gone. They start to secretly see each other. Her oldest takes an internship at Miles Media. Tristan starts hanging out at her house. Claire is torn between her growing feelings for Tristan and her loyalty to her late husband. This back and forth continues as Tristan bonds with her kids. And while all this is happening, her company continues to struggle.
I liked the way the story unfolded and hearing Tristan and Claire’s points of view. Tristan is the supportive boyfriend that we all wish for and I was happy for the HEA.
I loved this story!!
I thought that this was an excellent book
It was honest, heartwarming, romantic and sexy
I couldn't put it down - the author had a brilliant writing style and it made the book and addictive review.
It is 5 stars from me for this one, very highly recommended
I absolutely loved Tristan and Claire! The Takeover is another amazing story by TL Swan. It's heartwarming, sexy, with hilarious laugh out loud moments. A must read!
4.5/5* this was an amazing book. I really love this type of relationship and had a lot of fun reading this book. It gave some vibes of the boss by Abigail Barnette.
I didn't like this book very much and it was entirely due to the MMC. He was really pushy and it made me not enjoy the book. Which is a complete bummer because I really liked the first book.
This is Tristans and Claire’s story, we met Tristan in The Stopover as he’s one of Jameson’s brothers, Claire is a widow and mother of three boys, Fletcher, Harry and Patrick or Fletch, Wiz and Tricky as Tristan so affectionately calls them, Claire’s trying her hardest to keep her deceased husbands company afloat and away from Tristans grasp.
This book has it all, loveable characters, great and realistic storyline and some very funny moments, I can’t recommend this book enough, a must read for all TL Swan fans.
I received an ARC for an honest review.

Y'all it's official: I'm head over heels with Mr Tristan Miles. How am I supposed to be fine after meeting the most perfect man in the world? Miss Tee ruined men for me 😭 Tristan Miles is everyone's dream man. He is rich, sexy, gorgeous, funny, but most importantly, once he finds his woman, he does anything he can to make her happy. He knows for so many reasons, he can't be with Claire, but he works hard to make it work, including doing anything in his power to own her kids' heart. The kids at first treat him poorly, but as I'm saying, Tristan slowly gets into their lives and helps them figure out their problems (something that their mother couldn't do by herself).
So why didn't I give the book 5 stars? For one reason only: Claire Anderson!!! At first, I understood her struggles and hesitation to be with Tristan, but then towards the last 20%, her comments, attitude and thoughts were bullsh*t. She was selfish and cruel towards him, only because she never got over her de@d husband. She is definitely not worthy of Tristan's love.
Now back to the side characters, I have to say the kids are amazing. At first they were pissed off with Tristan because they didn't want their mother to move on, but slowly they formed a special bond with him, which is hands down the best part of the book.
Honestly, besides not connecting with the heroine, I do recommend you to pick this book up for three reasons: Tristan, the kids and all the hilarious scenes that Tee nailed to write. For all that, you HAVE to read it asap!!!
I have been a fan of this author for awhile and this one did not disappoint. Tristan and Claire were great together. Look forward to more in this series.
Claire runs Anderson Media and it is now a struggling company and having to finish staff that they can not afford and now the sharks are circling waiting to buy the company at a rock bottom price but Claire is still holing on as she could loose everything including her home but she has to hold on as it was her late husband's company. Tristan wants to buy Anderson Media but Claire is putting up blocks but he will not let that stop him as what he wants he gets as he is ruthless when it comes to business deals. Will he succeed this time or are there situations that he did not see coming. I loved Claire's children they had me laughing so hard with all there antics and Tristan's reaction to them. Wow i love this book so much with all its twists and turns that keep you turning the pages to see what will happen next and it is so addictive. I have read every single book as T L Swan is an amazing author and writer and i definitely recommend you read this book and others by her and you will not be disappointed.
I Voluntarily Reviewed an Arc copy of this book.
TL Swan is quickly becoming a favorite author of mine! I am devouring her books! I loved this one! Tristan was fantastic and Claire was great with him. They had amazing chemistry and I loved seeing her kids with him. This one had me swooning and cracking up and I couldn't get enough! I can't wait for Elliot's book!
This is the second book of The Miles High Club series, about Tristan and Claire. When I read the first book The Stopover, I thought I found my favorite book, but after reading The Takeover, I'm torn between these two. Tristan and Claire's story is emotional, swoony, and hilarious. I think what I love most about TL Swan's writing is that - all her characters are matured adults, acting like adults. You will never see her characters acting stupidly, making reckless decisions, and makes you go like "WTH!" No. Her characters make realistic and wise decisions, and because of that, you are able to relate to her stories. I loved Tristan and Claire, their commitments, their love for each other. BUT, my favorite character is Patrick, my sweet sweet boy. LOL. Read it and you will see why. Bravo for another excellent book Swan. I can not wait for more stories to come.
I received an unpublished copy of this on NetGalley and this review is my own opinion.
If I could award more stars I would! I thought I loved The Stopover, but The Takeover was another level. I absolutely loved Tristan and Claire. These characters were hilarious but also had their vulnerabilities. I was laughing so hard at one point I couldn’t read the page through tears. The book had the angst and emotion TL Swan is renowned. I couldn’t put the book down and finished in 24 hours.
Once I started this book, I couldn’t put it down. The chemistry between Tristan and Claire was off the charts. Claire is a mother of 3 boys that has experienced tragedy and heartbreak. A few years have passed since she lost her husband and their business is now struggling. Tristan Miles steps in to help, but his cutthroat business tactics do not impress Claire. She leaves a lasting impression on him and chance encounters leave them both wanting more. As the relationship progresses, Claire’s suffering surfaces and her inner mama bear rears it’s head. Both Tristan and Claire are in unfamiliar territory and I love how every situation was handled. I laughed, swooned and had a broken heart right with them. Very well done!
🎧 Audiobook Review 🎧
This book was an amazing surprise for me... Specially because I didn't liked the first one, and usually, this would be enough to not continue with a series.
I'm glad that I followed my friends advice and took my chances with The Takeover, because it's *Miles* away from the first one! (Yep... I did that 😂😂)
Tristan was already an amazing character in his, not so incredible, brother's book... so I wasn't surprised when I started to fall in love with him! He's so far, the best Miles brother, and even if I'm curious about Elliott, I don't think any of them can take him from my top list. He's caring, passionate, honest, loyal and incredible in all his hotness!
I was surprised to see that I liked Claire too!
I know... Shocking!
She was a widow for 5 years and I could really see her struggles with moving on with her life, after losing her husband/partner/best friend... It's not an easy thing to do, and she was doing her best for their three boys.
I love books with kids... Not those unrealistic 5 years old, that smart talk about everything and knows it all... Nope!
The real ones... Like Claire's boys!
I looooved her boys (9, 13 and 18 years old)
I loved how Tristan was scared after their first terrible encounter.
I loved how each one of them were different and have had their own personality and issues.
I loved how protective of her they were.
And I loved the most how Tristan connected with each one of them, in their own time and in their own way.
This book was really well build and well written around a Man wanting a relationship with a Woman with kids and life baggage!
It was amazing and I highly recommend it!
🎧 About the Audiobook Narration...🎧
CJ Bloom and Sebastian York can do no wrong! They definitely made me tear up a little, when I know that I wouldn't if I was just reading the book!
5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Narration for sure!
I really, really enjoyed this book! It was gripping from the very start, loved the characters and their personalities! Fantastically written! Would definitely recommend!
This book was LITERALLY perfection!! I loved it so much, and the humor had me laughing so hard. However there were things that irked me about this book, #1 being the self sabotage from the heroine! She knew she had a great man, who was understanding, and loved her kids but REFUSED to let him adopt them as his own? I understand her husband died and those were his kinds, but could they not me the hero’s kids too?? Ugh so irritating. But I loved the story, the way the hero won over the kids one by one. So good!
