Even better than The Stopover!

I didn’t think I would like this book when I first read the blurb. Despite the fact that I am a single mother, I generally don’t like romance books where the heroine is a single mother. I like the two main characters to be unencumbered. However this book turned out to be both super steamy and utterly hilarious and I loved every minute of it.
The character development was terrific and I ended up loving all of them, including the heroine’s three kids, Fletcher, Harry a ...more

Tristan Miles Took Me Over!

My Thoughts: The following are my thoughts about this book:
General:

- Audio: I HATE the female narrator. She ruined the first book (The Stopover) for me because I couldn’t stomach her interpretation of the female character. I decided to start the audio with this book and just see if it was a one-time thing. Nope! I cou ...more

So this book did wonders for my PMS.
TMI?
Whatever.
It was just what I needed. Slightly cheesy at times, over the top in a comical and dramatic way. Tristan is your typical, cocky alpha.
Claire has the best kind of attitude problem.
The kids were amazing. They brought so much chaotic energy to the story.
It did get emotional at times. Or is that my PMS talking?

This author totally writes my love language. Her stories are a perfect mix of all the feels. I laughed and laughed. The chemistry and angst between the h and H are off the chart! Whew! OMG, I loved this book. For me, her books are pure unadulterated fun! A summer read, that lets me escape my stressful, busy, overworked life.

Oh my gosh!!! This has been one of the most entertaining books I’ve read in ages!!! I absolutely loved everything about this and I hated to see it end.

I totally related with Claire as I have walked a mile in her shoes. Watching her evolve throughout the story was wonderful and amazing. I loved that she was able to let go when needed despite the struggles she had. She was an independent heroine who was fiercely protective of her children and my heart was completely wrapped up in her and her situa ...more

I absolutely loved Tristian in The Stopover he was the down to earth brother, funny, as breath-taking as his older brother, most definitely a manwhore also, all the Miles aires where wealthy and good looking and great at what they did in Miles Media. Tristian Miles was the brother that dismantle companies, he saw weakness and pounced. Tristian was good at it. That is until he met Claire Anderson of Anderson Media. Tristian wanted her company and bugged her everyday sometimes 2 to 3 times until C

I was unprepared for the awesomeness that was this novel! Especially since it was the second in a new series by TL Swan. I had meant to read the first novel in the Miles High series "The Stopover" but it had slipped my mind until I saw the second one available on NetGalley to review. I meant to read the other before this one, but when I opened my kindle yesterday, I thought, "why not?" and started reading.

The Takeover is book 2 in The Miles High Club and this time it's love for Tristan Miles. So before I start my review let me say the first 30% was not my favorite. I loved Tristan immediately but Claire was hard for me to like, she was bitter and judgmental in my opinion. It would have been very easy for me to put down the book and not picked it up again, but unfortunately I would have missed out on a wonderful story. So basically Claire is a widow of 5 years with three sons who is strug ...more

T.L. Swan's writing style and stories have definitely got me... hook, line and sinker!!!

If there’s one thing you can pretty much guarantee to get with T L Swan, it’s a smoking hot suited Hero.
And Tristan Miles is up there with the best of them. 🙌
Let me tell you, parts of this book had me HOWLING with laughter. I actually think I enjoyed Tristan’s banter with Claire’s sons (especially with Wizard, aka Harry) more than his relationship with Claire. The first time Tristan visited Claire’s house had me laughing out loud - the underpants, so funny!

Out of all the books on my TBR I chose to pick this one up due to the similarities between myself and the heroine. We're both 38 and single mothers to 3 boys. Her loss is rather tragic though...remember this, it will be vital info! Looking at my life right now would I turn down a billionaire coming to my rescue? HELL NO! So of course, reading a book where that happens makes me giddy...and a little hopeful :-)

My freaking heart is SO full! How am I just reading this author?! Absolutely sexy, swoon worthy and heartwarming. Tristan is the original playboy and watching him fall in love with the older widow with three kids was EVERYTHING! He was so amazing and hysterically inappropriate with Claire's boys. I did this one in audiobook (KU with free narration) and highly recommend!

This was an amazing read! The main hero and heroine had a freaking amazing chemistry. What I loved most about them was that from the beginning you could see they were perfect for each other, they might seem like an unusual couple, yet they were one of the most perfect ones. More than anything this was a very funny read, yet serious and sad at the appropriate moments.
Minus half a point because of some minor plot twists I wasn’t a fan of and for the abrupt ending.

Though it could be an easy 5🌟 had I been in some other state of mind.
Firstly, I would like to acknowledge that now I do get this author's hype. She really is good. It isn't her writing as such that got to me but the kind of issues that she dealt with. All the problems that her characters faced were so real.
The story follows Claire Anderson, a widower and a mother of 3, trying her very best to keep her late husband's company afloat. While on the other hand Tristan Miles known as the cold-hearted ...more

I didn't like this at all. Tristan was a douchebag and Claire doesn't have much of a personality. There really wasn't any relationship development at all and the book was way too long. I actually skimmed the last half so maybe there was something good in there that I missed, but I highly doubt it.

5 stars. Loved it, effing loved it!!! Thanks to reader friend Katy for the rec. Loved Tristan! Swoon worthy and a smartass. My favorite kinda guy. This story starts off with a resistant romance, but the fun begins when Tristan meets Claire's 3 kids. Hilarious. LMAO! Poor Claire is an emotional rollercoaster. And this story isn't without its share of ups and downs but I enjoyed it all, especially the end.

OMG what a wild ride this was.
Last year I saw a cover of a book by this author and I have been wanting to read all her books ever since and I'm so glad that I picked this one to be my first. I wanted to read it before the first one because I'm more interested in single parenting. It was not what I imagined it will but it was definitely better. I cried so many times throughout the book and I'm still tearing over the ending. I'm So happy for Tristan for finally having his own family. I ca ...more

Tristan was my favourite character from the first book so I was so happy that his book was already released and went straight into it.
This book had all of the emotion and at times I wanted to give up because my heart was breaking for the characters. I’m not normally a fan of books with children in it but these kids made this book and broke my damn heart.
