This has got to be one of my favorite books this year!!! Swan definitely delivered a fun, sexy and rich romance!
Claire meets Tristan at one of her lower moments in life as she is trying to save her late husband’s business.
She is struggling to keep all things afloat especially in her regards to her three boys- single motherhood is tough. She is a business woman and has no time for the dating game. Then walks in Tristan with his sauve ways and money aiming to buy her business out. It really sucks when your enemy also makes your lady bits go crazy!
Claire was refreshing in her perspective in love. There were many times I laughed and genuinely enjoyed the humor. And there were moments I treasured as well as mourned with Claire, her children and Tristan because I fell in love with them as a family unit as well as a couple.
This ARC was provided by Netgalley in exchange for a honest and fair review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I rate this romance a 5 out of 5 stars! Really a great read to disappear in and enjoy!
I am honestly completely floored as I just couldn’t put this book down and now want to read the first book in the series!
Whilst this is my first book by the author I would highly recommend reading it! It is riveting, highly entertaining with sizzling chemistry and witty banter galore. I laughed so hard in parts and also had some tears in others. This is definitely one of my favourite books of 2020!
Claire Anderson is a woman at the end of her tether. She is a widow, has 3 rambunctious boys and runs her late husband’s company. When Tristan Miles tries to buy out her business, needless to say she is determined not to sell to him, of all people. He is charismatic, delicious, flirtatious and goes after what he wants! What does he want? Claire, of course. Lets just say the ride this story gives you is like a roller coaster! There is just so much to love about Tristan and what happens when he meets her family. Yikes, its on for young and old and I had a difficult time controlling my laughter!! The ride they have is rather bumpy but so very worth it!
So incredibly worth reading!!

Takes hold of you once you get into it:
It took me awhile to get into this book, but then I was hooked. It is a gripping plot that draws you in and leaves you anxious to determine how it is all going to work out.
In the beginning I found it challenging to connect with Claire and Tristan as they both came off as cold and the writing style didn't lead to a sense of familiarity. However I liked them more as we got to know them and I was able to feel the chemistry and love that they developed. I imagine it was supposed to come off as being funny, yet I was appalled and put off by how her sons behaved in the beginning but I did later develop a soft spot for these rambunctious boys. There is a lot of emotional depth to the story especially related to Claire coming to terms with her late husband's death and as she tries to move on and forge a new path.
One thing I must say is that I hated trying to read the sections that were from Tristan's POV as these were all in bold and it hurt my eyes. It was like he was shouting at you and had me trying to move my reading device away from me to try and get comfortable with it. The sections were labelled with "Tristan" so no other distinction was necessary.
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are solely my own.
This was a New to me author. Very Great book. I laughed so hard . It was funny and sexy and kept me glued to it
*sigh* I thought I was in love with Jameson (from The StopOver) but sorry sir - Triston has blown you outta the park!!!!!!
He is seriously swoonworthy, that man made me giggle - yes actual giggles! As well as laugh out loud, he made me swoon, he made me cry...he's just pure perfection in a suit 🥰🥰🥰
Then we have Claire, a widow with 3 children who are most definitely a handful!!! That woman is pure kick-ass, it's not easy for her and there is a lot she struggles with but she keeps on going - a top mum!!
I adored this book and I'm praying we get the rest of the Miles Brothers stories!!!!!
I really enjoyed this novel. Tristan’s interactions with Claire’s children was absolutely brilliant. So funny it had me laughing out loud. It was very steamy in places but the story itself was really well written and moved at a really good pace. Quite a few of these type of books are quite short but this one being longer allowed for really good character development. All the characters in the book both adults and children were so well written they came alive for me. I have not read any other books by this author and have already downloaded the 1st book in the series.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for allowing me to read a preview copy.
The Takeover is about a widow who is trying to keep her deceased husband’s media company running and keep her family of three boys in line. Claire Anderson has her hands full with being a widow and taking care of three boys who are constantly doing something. She has a meeting with Mr Tristan Miles who is wanting to buy her media company to add to his media empire his family owns. She turns him down wanting to keep it for her sons. He asks her on a date after she is so rude to him and she says no. Tristan always gets what he wants so now he’s on mission to get the woman he wants. Claire is burned out and needs a get away but she doesn’t want to go to this self help retreat her assistant insists she goes on. This is a great story that had me laughing so hard that I cried. The kids are comical and so well written and you love them while reading this book. Excellent five star book and I highly recommend it.

I really enjoyed The Stopover, so I have been looking forward to this book for awhile. It was well-written and I liked the premise of the story, but I REALLY could not stand the heroine, and so it took away from the story. This is likely a case of being a me problem and not a book problem, so I would still recommend this book to others.
I absolutely adored this story. As much as I loved the first book, this one was perfect. The kids just made the story. Could not stop laughing. I want more!!!
Bring on Elliot's story!
I absolutely love this series. As much as I enjoyed the first book, I think this one just surpasses it! The kids in this story kept me in stitches! Omg, couldn't stop laughing. Now bring on Elliot's story!!!💜
When the couple hooks up at around the 20% mark, I became dubious. What is going to happen for the next 80%? This is my apology for doubting the genius ways of T.L. Swan.
This book is absolutely magical! My absolute favourite part is the interactions with the kiddies. How he builds relationships with them based on what they need. He didn't try too hard to be someone he thought they needed, he was just himself.
I laughed so much at the scenes involving the kiddies. I developed such a soft spot for them all!
This story is beautiful ❤️💕
This book went beyond my expectations! I have been waiting for TL Swan to release this and it sis not disappoint. I liked Tristian in the Stopover but fell.in love with him in The Takeover. Claire was the perfect character to take Tristian on.
The book told their incredible love.story and left.you feeling all.their emotions. I was laughing and crying along with the characters. I can't wait for the next one in this series. I will be definitely.choosing this book for my book clubs in th fall. Thank you T L Swan dor another incredible read!
The second installment of Miles High Books series did not disappoint. Tristan and Claire were incredibly entertaining. I really enjoyed the story being told from their duel point of view. It was a great read!
I had such high hopes for THE TAKEOVER after reading and loving THE STOPOVER last year, but I just wasn't able to connect with this story in the same way that I had with THE STOPOVER. I find TL Swan's writing to be incredibly enjoyable, however, and very readable.
TL Swan is a new-to-me author and I will definitely be reading more! The Takeover was better than the description and had much character depth and development. Highly recommended.
The second book in the Miles High Club series and I think Tristan may have surpassed Jameson as my favorite Miles Brother. I don't even want to think about what will happen with the next Miles HIgh book!
Tristan works in acquisitions and we begin the story with him meeting widow Claire Anderson and making a bid to buy her failing company started by her and her dead husband.. Claire is not interested in his offer or in Tristan and makes it quite clear.
Tristan and Claire meet again some time later at a Self-help conference and while Claire continues to be icy towards Tristan, she starts to feel the heat between the two of them.
One night during the conference sets their affair in motion and when the return to the states, things get complicated when she is back home with her three sons. THis is when the story really grabbed me and I found that I couldn't put it down, watching Tristan learn about suburban life and how to handle three boys still reeling from their father's death was funny and touching. His first visit to the house and his reaction to the boys, the dog, the cat and the chaos had me laughing out loud.
Although the way Tristan bonded with each of Claire's sons was touching, his connection with Harrison (Wiz) almost brought me to tears.
As expected, there is some angst to this book as Tristan and Claire decide separately what their future will look like, but as they come together they get the HEA that we are all hoping for.
TL Swan is becoming one of my favorite authors. This book had me laughing, crying, and swooning. I'm hoping there will soon be more books including the Miles family.
He was powerful, arrogant, and infuriatingly gorgeous, and I hated him with every cell in my body. When I started reading I couldn't put it down.T L Swan is magnifysent and amazing writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this books.Can't wait for the next book.
One hot, erotic, emotional story. Playing hardball one minute then sensitively soft the next.
Instant attraction to a business running widow with children, who are all very testing to know.
The seductive chase continues, with harsh realities and tough decisions, on what starts as a dalliance. Then when emotional feelings become involved, turns into a heartfelt full-blown relationship that needs careful handling when the waters get too choppy.
This author is one he'll of a writer and will have you in an emotional rollercoaster, warm and mushy one minute, laughing out loud, or getting teary the next, while enjoying this story.
With a happy ever after ending to this romantic romp.
I like it but it’s not my favourite by T L Swam. it was not that interesting to read.
So I will give it two stars out of 5
