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.

The man really doesn't make sense at times, “I am not paying you to get hit on, Emily,” he growls." Jameson is such a romantic, "his dark eyes hold mine. “Tonight, we eff.” The man is quite bossy, “fine . Go and say goodbye, and I’ll wait for you downstairs. You have two minutes before I come up and drag you out.” He gives me a long, lingering kiss, and I turn, and he swats me on the behind." I liked this book, I adored Jameson the man was quite an *** and couldn't make up his mind on really anything.

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!

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.

First Class FB....

I am totally spent. So many feels in this story. I blame TL Swan for my sleepless night reading about Jameson Miles and Emily Foster. I will forgive her of course because this was such a hot, sizzling bowl of yumminess. The only disappointment for me waswhen my kindle's battery ran out while I was reading a really, really good part. I wanted to throw it across the room.

Jameson, words fail me but I will be tough and give it the old school try. He is totally Alpha, Dominant, sex on a stick and oh yes very controlled. But deep down he wants to have a forever love with someone who really gets him. That is where Emily comein. Their one night Stopover fling is forever engraved in her heart and stamped on her body. So much so that even after she sees Jameson again after one year, her girly parts immediately clench beyond her control. I loved the humor and wit of their storyand it had me laughing out loud. Emily is like a pitbull with Jameson and he did not know what hit him or how to handle her. She was so different than what he was accustomed to. She had his number from day one.

So hot, so funny, all the emotions, don't miss reading this one. You will not be disappointed.....

Blown away by this book. I loved it. I felt like I was Em. At one point I hated Jameson and felt every bit of emotion that Em felt. Can’t wait to read more from this series. Thanks.

This is Jameson and Emily book, Jameson owns miles media with his family. Emily is a media writer. They both get stranded in a stopover on-a flight from London to New York! They are seat mates in first class! They have a incredible night together and don’t meet up again until Emily goes for a new job at miles media 12 months later! Emily is shocked to see the CEO is none other than her blue eyed hottie from months ago! She’s been dying to work at miles media so she knows they can’t hook up again and keep this job! This book was really really good! I definitely recommend reading this one! It’s well worth the read! It was funny , light hearted, it was a little long for the story but still great!! I will definitely continue on with the series ! Can’t wait for more!! Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!!

I received a free copy of THE STOPOVER (Book 1 of the Miles High Club) by T.L. Swan in exchange for an honest review. An unexpected confrontation at the end of a cruddy trip gets Emily Foster an upgrade to first class for her flight home. The man Emily ends up sitting next to is initially annoying, but hot. Over the long flight, he improves as an acquaintance, and Emily ends up spending an overnight layover lying over him. He leaves the next morning without even asking for Emily’s phone number. A year later, Emily moves to New York for her dream job and discovers he’s the CEO of her new company. Emily’s sexy boss makes it clear he wants to revisit their past, but Emily knows it isn’t wise.

The book was heavy on the eroticism. The main characters were pretty much either fighting or f--having sex. The story contains profanity, but the bulk of it is relegated to Emily’s degrading nickname. Storyline is present; for instance, there’s a mystery. However, character development only occurs when the primaries are separate, and the bulk of the romantic relationship happens off the page between scenes, so, other than the sex, the reader sees very few healthy aspects to Emily and Jay’s relationship. I recommend this book to readers who are more interested in eroticism than romance.

Reader beware, this is pure book hangover material. My heart was in my throat the entire way through. The angst and pull between T.L. Swan’s characters was next level. Absolutely loved the witty banter and chemistry between the two. The book is pure enjoyment wrapped up in raw emotions and hot as he-- scenes! 5 stars
