The Casanova has certainly lived up to my expectations for a TL Swan book! This book has something for everyone..it has characters you will fall in love with, it has all the humor and the wittiness we have come to expect, but it also has all the anguish we know we will experience as we follow along on Elliot's and Kate's journey. The Mr. series has been a rollercoaster ride and I can not wait for the next ride!

4.5 fated stars! This is my first book by TL Swan but it won't be my last. I am going to be reading the first two of the series now, I already downloaded book one!
Kate and Elliot are enemies. she's the annoying computer geek that thinks she knows everything and he is the ahole alpha boss that can't stand someone thinking they are smarter than him. For seven years they fight and look at each other with disdain, until one night Elliot sees Kate on the security cameras and can't stop watching. He's crazy to have these feelings about someone he hates, right?
Kate can't stand Elliot Miles. He is arrogant, cold and a player. All the things that she can't stand (and let's face it, if you know me, I can't stand those things either). One night while drunk, she creates a fake dating profile and oddly enough, connects to someone with an obviously fake profile too. They start an online friendship and soon Kate realizes that it's her surly boss on the other end, and he is oddly sweet and romantic and has a bigger heart than she could have ever imagined.
This book is LONG, but I also read it in one sitting so that should tell you something right there. I wasn't ready to let go of these characters long enough to put the book down. Kate and Elliot wormed their way right into my heart. There were aspects of the book I thought were a little odd, and things I would have loved to happen differently, and times that I was mad at both of them, but in the end as mad as I was with a certain character's actions, I would have done the same thing. If you believe in fate, soul mates and that things happen for a reason, you will love this one. I know I did. I couldn't wait to figure out the twists so I could get to the HEA.
Thank you to TL Swan, Netgalley and Amazon Publishing UK for an early copy.

I love the Miles brothers. My favourite is still Tristan, and I didn't expect to like Elliot so much but I loved this story and all its twists and turns. The story follows Elliot, and his coworker Kate. They start off hating each other and develop a relationship that is sweet and steamy and really beautiful. I confess that I kind of foresaw some of the 3rd act issues, but it was still quite an interesting twist to the story and made it come full circle for me. I am really looking forward to reading about Christopher, the remaining brother.

Kathryn is an independent woman and has been for many years. But a new roommate sparks some sparks into her dull life and someone quickly takes notice of her slight changes. Elliot is apart of Miles Media and in charge of the London office. he also has a penchant for art and fancies he will one day get his happy ever after. However, things quickly change as his arch nemesis becomes interesting- maybe even an obsession... But is it too good to be true or is grass greener on the other side?

I absolutely loved this installment! It was an easy read that sucked me in and made my heart stop in anticipation. There were times I swooned and others I wanted to cry! I would rate this a 5 out of 5! Hot, hot hot! JalapeΓ±o hot!

Gahhhhhhhh!!! Another book in the TL SWAN bookiverse that I absolutely adored with my whole heart and soul....Eliot ...oh my...Eliot...

Elliot Miles, a Billionaire and a danger to women's hearts...men respects and envy him, every women falls at his feet BUT a huge exception is Kathryn...
Kathryn's life is pretty mundane but her highlight is annoying her boss. They both hate eachother's guts but one glimpse of Kate dancing has Elliot changed his whole mindset. He starts seeing her in a new light and thats where begin their twisted love story.

After reading this book, let me just clear this up that no one writes enemies to lovers as entertaining as TL SWAN... there was animosity, hatred but man... there was some connection and hots too.... they repel eachother yet their hearts attracts inevitably.

The secondary characters were so intriguing too and added charms to the overall story..Daniel😍...Other members of the Miles club also made an entry here and I was all fangirling for TristanπŸ˜‹πŸ”₯...this book had a 10+ stars from me for all the laugh out moments, Kate and Elliot sure made a great pair. And the hot scenes...wowzah!

Definitely recommending this book...⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😏...its hilarious, very entertaining and some of the best plot twist I ever read.

Ugh yes, I love the Miles brothers! The Casanova was just perfection! I have been so excited for Elliot's book and I was not disappointed. This was an enemies to lovers but also had some soul mate/meant to be elements! Elliot is definitely a grump and he kind of stays that way, but Kate knows how to handle him and they are just perfect together. You get to see a lot of the other Miles brothers too, which I adored. If you loved the first two Miles brothers books, you will love this one too!!!

I was so excited to read The Casanova early, I am obsessed with this series!
I didn’t think anyone would match my love for Tristan but man, Elliot may have just done it.

This book was everything I wanted and more! It was funny, great banter, sexy and just all around fantastic!
You get enemies to lovers, office romance, a sexy alpha and an heroine that stands strong and holds her own.

Kathryn and Elliot had a mutual hate for one another yet she was never intimidated by Elliot, she would give as much as she got.
Elliot has a reputation as a playboy - the media has labeled him Casanova. He doesn’t β€œdate” in the public eye and it still looking for the one to come along.

One night he starts to see Kate in a different light and they both figure they will give it a go and both get a mutual satisfaction out of it.
The chemistry between these two was hot!
The banter was perfect and the appearance with the Miles family/brothers was laugh out loud good!
I loved the ride I was taken on during this story and 100% would recommend. 5 star read for sure!

Thank you so much NetGalley for the ARC.

The C by T.L. Swan is the third instalment in this serial. Kate has had a bad day, her boss isn't the nicest, but her new pen pal seems to be a good one. And now the Hero shows, Elliot Miles, her hmm sorry not sorry no spoilers here. Only so much, this is a romance novel of its finest with everything I love in a great lovestory, drama, action, danger, fast paced, packed with characters you can easily connect with. 4,5 stars.

I absolutely love the Miles brothers and Elliot stole my heart. I love how each brother brings something amazing to their story, and our leading lady Kate was fantastic. I must read if you are a enemies to lovers fan and of course the angst..... "chiefs kiss"

"The Casanova" is a romance in which our hero is the boss in a company where our heroine also stars. Naturally, they hate each other. Naturally, well, that changes.

So far, it's pretty much what you'd expect of this sort of set up. That said, "The Casanova" (poorly titled, by the way; it is too generic to describe the plot or characters well) gets most of its charm from humorous diversions into the hero's acquisition of a farm and its animal residents. Their story was what really made the book sparkle.

Elliot and Kathryn carried "The Casanova" in a way that made this book the best in the series (in my humble opinion). The last 25% are PERFECT, including a plot twist that made me both love and hate Elliot. Kathryn is my favorite kind of female lead. She is bold, determined and doesn't allow anyone to take advantage of the love she is willing to give. When I thought this HEA was too unbelievable, the ending gave me everything I want in the ending of such a novel. The banter, the chemistry, the drama made this story binge-worthy (all the books in this series are TBH).

I was actually excited about this book because the heroine sounded fabulous and she was was! She was clever and funny and sassy and didn't take anything from anyone especially the hero... for about 150 pages, then she became an spineless giggling mess doormat heroine like every heroine in this series. I was so upset. I wanted my bada** Kate back! For the rest of the book she didn't acted like herself and that made me super upset. After that this book hit 50% I was done but I kept going because I refused Kate was going to remain spineless but I was proven wrong.

Now, I thought the hero was trash at first, but then he went and outdid himself and became a dumpster. This guy is a jerk with zero redeemable qualities (there was really no growth in this book tbh). I kept thinking how cab this person be related to Christopher and Tristan? Smh.

Anyway, I really really really wanted to liked this book and I did for 30% of it but choices were made and I didn't agree with those choices and here we are.

- I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review -
The third book of the Miles High series didn't disappoint. I laughed a lot and had a fun time reading it. Since the second book of the series, The Takeover, ended with a teasing introduction of Elliot, the casanova with a heart beating for art, I was truly intrigued how his story would go.
Although I enjoyed reading it, I cannot give five stars because, for me, it's not at the same level as the Stopover and the Takeover. I missed the character development that could be seen in the first two books.
Would recommend it for anyone who is looking for a light read that brings a smile to your face.

The Casanova was another excellent addition to this series and the TL Swan collection! Kate is head of IT for Miles media and for years has had a hate relationship with her boss Elliot. Elliot feels the exact same way until one day he catches Kate in a sport uniform and suddenly views her in a different light. After some awkward back and forth with barbs and vulnerability by both they eventually agree to a friend's with benefits relationship but even from the first encounter there's far too much to just label it something so superficial. Add in a mystery painter, anonymous dating app messages and some feral ducks and this book will make you laugh while feeling all the angst TL writes so beautifully. Miles felt like a breath of fresh air for alpha heroes in general, having a vulnerable and romantic side deep beneath that hard exterior. Kate is stubborn and still grieving the loss of her parents while deciding to live again. But she knows how to soothe the beast in Elliot whenever he appears. I definitely empathize with her frustrations and the journey she took throughout the novel. There of course is a high steamy level and witty banter knocking this book out of the park. I would definitely buy and reread this book!

Another great read by T.L. Swan. She gives Alpha males the best heroines and it's always a great book to watch an Alpha loose his mind when he falls in love. Elliot and Kate have so much heat between them and their back and forth fights make the flames even hotter. The only problem I found with this book is it was so good, I couldn't put it down and that made it over far too fast! I can't wait to read it again and again just like the rest of her books!

At first I was like β€œwhat happened to the quality?”. Something was just not sucking me in at first like TL Swan’s books normally do! I was very disappointed in the beginning because I had a hard time liking the characters Elliot made me want to punch him and Katheryn sounded like the coworker from hell.

If you’re reading this you’ve probably read books 1 + 2 first, so you’ve fallen in love with Jameson and Tristan, Elliot is 9 times more abrasive than those two combined and it was hard for me to care for him because it didn’t seem like he had a redeeming quality. HOWEVER after the first few chapters my heart for Elliot grew 9 times it’s size, you really just have to get over the hump and then it’s so easy to care for these characters.

You know how some romance novels get annoying because they seem to keep arguing about the same thing and you’re like β€œokay get past it alreaaaady”, this book didn’t do that and I appreciated it so much

Wow. T.L Swan did not disappoint! I was hooked from beginning to end. This was book was steamy, romantic, and funny. Elliot and Kate have worked together for years and can NOT stand each other. The banter between them was hilarious and the tension gave me butterflies. When do Elliot and Kate start to cross the enemy line and become lovers? Well, I don't like to spoil so you need to read this book to find out! But let me tell you the journey is romantic, jaw-dropping, and adorable. The plot is about finding your soul mate and all the ups and downs that come with it. If you love office romance, enemies to lovers, plot twists, and steam read this book!

Thank you NetGalley so I could read this book before it was released. Also to Stacy for giving me the heads up!!

This is one of my favorite TL Swans series. I loved Both books before and as for this one it was good. I loved Elliot but Kate was very whiny to me. I wish she stood up for herself more. Glad the kids were back in this book. They are hysterical. Can not wait to read Christopher’s book next!
