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 ❤️💕

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.

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 read the prior book (listened to the audiobook too) and it was great so I have wanted to read this book for a while because I had a soft spot for Tristan. This book was even better. There were spots where I laughed out loud and others where I swooned. Tristan is an amazing character- strong, confident and way alpha but in a package that comes across as caring. Claire was fighting past losses and therefore, didn't see a place for Tristan but I love the stories where the man just doesn't give up because he knows that there is something there (again, the swoons.) This is a fantastic, fast moving story and I really didn't want to put it down. I'm so happy that NetGalley gave me the opportunity for an early read but I am looking forward to purchasing the audiobook!

Love TL Swans books, fun, witty, great love story.

At first I was a bit put off by Claire's character but after thinking about it I started to like her. A 38 year old widowed mother of three boys trying to make her way in the world, protect them and find herself all at the same time. It's challenging. Then steps in the sexy Tristan Miles. Their relationship is steamy hot and everything Claire needs but has been denying herself. She has so many preconceived of what kind of man he is then has trouble distinguishing between the business man she met and the man she's falling in love with. Overall I enjoyed this book, I would have liked a little bit more character development but it was a quick, easy ready and I'm looking forward to more in the series. I'm just assuming at least two more books are coming, we need to know the other two brothers get their happily ever afters.

4.5 stars
I loved the first book in the series and had to read Tristan's story as well.
It's a very different story from what I was expecting and more so , a very different from what I usually reading but I loved it so much.
For a widow with three teenagers is not easy to redo her life or better say to think about having another relationship again but Tristan won't let her double think anything and he's so there for her in every moment of the way. Their chemistry and moments together are fire like we already expect from the author and the reliable family drama is so well done that had me laughing or heartbreak for Claire, their happily ever after is not easy but it's worth it for the long haul.

This book was an emotional rollercoaster ride. I read the 1st book in the series when it first released so I was really excited to find that the an arc was available on NetGalley. Let me tell you! This story is so much more than simply a love story. It's story about grief, familial relationships, loving a family that may not biologically be yours. The character development was well thought out & you cannot help but love the main characters.

I shed tears sooo many times during this book. I laughed to where I couldn't breathe multiple times! I recommend everyone reading this as you will not be disappointed.

T.L Swan does it again. Easily one of my favorite romance author’s. Her latest does not disappoint.

In “The Takeover” mega business man Tristian meets widow mother of 3 Claire. So say their first meeting went smoothly would be an understatement. Everything changes when the two run into each other again in France, and this time I sparks fly and the chemistry is off the charts. But in all good romance novels nothing can be all butterflies and daisies. Claire is still struggling to come to terms with her husband’s death and moving on, while Tristan is trying to figure out his feelings for Claire by seeing if he could really handle being in a relationship with a woman and her 3 boys.

What happens next is a love story I read through in a day and couldn’t put down. I loved how Claire and Tristian’s relationship started with Claire not able to stand Tristian’s arrogant behavior, to the two unable to keep their hands off each other. By far my favorite parts of this book were where Claire’s boys were involved. I was laughing so hard during those moments I had tears streaming down my face.

T.L Swan is a goddess when it comes to romance and this was one was not only one of my favorites of hers, but one of my favorites of the whole year. I couldn’t recommend this one enough. Pure gold.

Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and T.L Swan for this ARC.

This was my first book by TL Swan and it most definitely wont be the last. I had no idea this was a series and as soon as I finished this book I went and purchased the first one.

This story was such a great read for me. The characters were funny and entertaining and I found myself staying up late into the night to finish this. There were moments where I was laughing so hard and other moments I was tearing up.

I will definitely be recommending this book to all of my friends and I can’t wait to read more by this author. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars. Thank you netgalley and publisher for the advanced read.

Absolutely loved this book. At times it made me laugh, at times it made me cry, but as a whole this book just made me fall in love with Tristan Fucking Miles.

Tristan is bossy, confident, a little disillusioned with life, and according to Claire, a God in bed. But more than anything else. what made me love him is his quest to find THE ONE. He knows he's looking for something special in a partner, but doesn't know exactly what that "special" is. Until he meets Claire Anderson.

Claire is a special person. She's got 3 scary psychotic kids, is a widow, works hard to give her kids the life her husband wants his kids to have, and she's the only person who's told Tristan Miles to get lost.

I gave this book 5 out of 5 stars, it was just such an amazing book.
