I really like this author, I just discovered it is the 3rd book in the series and it is one better than another, God I like both heroes are romantic and I believe in destiny and magic what happened to them is magic. Before reading this book I read opinions and who gave this story 3 stars means that he is not a good reader or critic, because this story is unique, I have not met any author but I have read a lot and I like to read after possibilities, but this story is unique, sensational ...

Elliot Miles, head of the London office of Miles Media, is known for being powerful, cold, seductive, and a womanizer. So much so that the paparazzi have dubbed him The Cassanova.

Kate is the IT manager of Miles Media and in full honesty: hates Elliot Miles. He's arrogant and rude and she can't be held accountable for the things she says in his presence because the man brings out her temper like no one else.

But one day Elliot sees Kate in a sexy red athletic dress and he suddenly sees her in a new way. His hunger fir her grows unsatisfied and she is overcome with this cold and cruel man who makes her melt with one heated glance.

On paper this is an enemies to lovers workplace romance but in true T.L. Swan fashion it is so much more. There's a mystery threaded through the entire book about an unknown artist Elliot is obsessed with, a beautiful and enchanted farm with guard ducks, an amorous goat, and a murderous ram, and two secret identities with hilarious screen names from a dating site.

This book was WONDERFUL and I honestly loved it from page one to the end. One of the things I loved most about this book was how at a certain point an HEA seemed impossible for this couple, and yet every plot thread was pulled together at the last moment to make it work perfectly for me.

I loved watching this cold alpha melt into tenderness over the fiery Kate. It was a thing of beauty and it also had an equal amount of scorching steam as well.

I have not read as satisfying ending in a romance in a while and it was well worth the angst to get there.

I was super excited to get an eARC of this book. The previous book in this series, The Takeover is one of my favourite romance books of all time.

Elliot Miles and Kate have hated each other since they first met. But one day Elliot sees her dancing in the office and is instantly affected to her and becomes mildly obsessed, and is determined to have her. They start a “friends with benefits” like relationship but of course it can’t end there.

I really enjoyed these two (those Tristan is still my fave brother so far). I really enjoyed their dynamics and and there was plenty of fire as one can expect from TL Swan.

I was extremely annoyed at a decision Elliot makes, but TL Swan brought me back with one of the best grovels I have ever seen, added with some plot convenience reveals that were so obvious, but it was cute so I still liked it.

I love this series as a whole and it was great to see all the previous cast of characters and I can’t wait to get Christopher’s story (We are getting it right!?!)

I love the Miles High Club Series and I couldn't wait to get my hands on the newest release and, as usual, T L Swan delivered and did not disappoint!
I read The Casanova in one sitting...I was hooked from page one and just couldn't put the book down. The story, the characters, the banter, their struggles and OMG their chemistry were honestly off the freaking charts!

I'm a sucker for a good hate to love romance, but this one is truly so much more with its intricate plot and its 3-dimensional characters, you feel aaaall the feels while you read about Kate and Elliot falling in love and fate trying to bring them together for years without them knowing. Honestly, these two were destined.

Hats off to T L Swan once again for this funny, extremely witty, swoon-worthy and steamy AF romance.

500% would recommend (also, do yourself a favour and read the other books in this series).

**Thank you to T L Swan, Amazon Publishing UK and Netgalley for the e-ARC of The Casanova. All thoughts and opinions are my own.**

Another amazing story written by TL Swan. The chemistry between the hero and heroine is off the charts. I loved reading about them going from absolutely hating each other to be so incredibly in love with each other. Also the twist in the end that we have been waiting for since the first Miles High Club book!

3.5 stars. I really like the first two books in this series and this one was good as well. However, I do have some issues with the cultural representation. As someone who has lived in the UK for half of her adult life, this book that is set in London and features British people was a bit charring to read. I don't mind if the narrative refers to things in American English (elevators vs lift, etc.), however, if you are writing dialogue for British people you need to make it believable and there were many, many instances where this wasn't the case. In fact, if it hadn't set it was set in the UK, I would have never thought it was.
I very much appreciate that this is probably a bigger issue for me than it is for other people but I cannot overlook that. Please do your research, and do it well.

4.5 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Casanova has been one of my most anticipated books by TL Swan. Let me just say that it's absolutely worth the wait. This book is EVERYTHING! and I love every single second of it. Like seriously, I didn't expect that it would be so enjoyable that I was able to finish it within one day. It was completely addicting and a total page-turner.

Talking about the characters, they are just fantastic. I adore both of them and the personas that they portrayed in the story. Yes, there are some parts that got me slightly annoyed, but that didn't make me like them any lesser. The chemistry that these two shared is just like 🔥🔥🔥 Believe me, these two hated each other like crazy, but it's absolutely clear that their attraction to one another is deeper than they thought.

Overall, it was a great read for me and I think that TL Swan has done an amazing job in delivering the story of Elliot and Kate. They managed to steal my heart and I think they have officially become my favourite couple in the series. I highly recommend for everyone try out this book because you surely don't want to miss out this amazing book.

This is the first title I've read by this author, and I enjoyed it. It has great banter and humor between the two leads, great sexual tension and ties up the ending in a way I did not predict! I will look for more to read from this author.

I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

What can I say another Miles brother that I love. All four siblings are 100% swoon worthy. So far in this series, I have rated the first two books a 5 star review. This one fell slightly short of a 5 star review. Don't get me wrong, this book was AMAZING. I love the chemistry between the two characters, and all the cameos of the Miles men. Elliot was our strong hero who doesn't take no for an answer. While Kate spends much of the book finding herself, she is a very strong character in her own way.

The reason I dock half a star was because at times the Miles men felt the same. There was one quote, that I swear was used in one of the first books. I felt that Elliot and Jameson had a ton of similarities in their stories. This left me feeling like "have I read this before"?

The end was predictable, but sweet. Perfect HEA. And very excited for Christopher to get his own book!

Elliot & Kathryn (aka Kate)

Dual POV. Book 3 in the continuing Miles High series. Rom-com, enemies-to-lovers, work place romance. I enjoyed the cameos from characters in TL Swan's previous books with updates on the 2 previous Miles High couples. This book does include an epilogue.

Elliot (34, 35) is the third in birth order of the four Miles boys, guards his privacy fiercely, was nicknamed by the media as Casanova Miles, is an art lover, and the CEO of the UK branch of Miles Media. Kathryn (27; aka Kate) has worked in the IT department for Miles Media UK for 7 years, grief over the loss of her parents 6 years ago caused her to withdraw from socializing and seeking relationships. Kate stands up to Elliot at work and the two frequently buttheads until Elliot sees Kate in a new light. The twists in this book are very smart, just when I thought I figured it all out TL Swan proved me wrong. WELL DONE! This will definitely be a re-read for me. I look forward to reading the 4th Miles brother's book.

[edit]
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC. This was exactly what an enemies to lovers/workspace romance should be. I found myself laughing out loud multiple times. Elliot was a lovable a**hole that I despised at first but he kind of won my heart in the end. Kate was amazing and I loved the fact that she was outspoken throughout the whole novel. There were super cute cameos made by the other characters in this series and I loved seeing bits of Tristan in this book.

Thanks to Net Galley I was able to read an advance copy of The Casanova by T.L Swan . This is the 3rd book in the Miles High Club . It is also the first book I have read by this author . I’m always hesitant checking out authors I have never read before . I have heard great things about T.L Swan , I have just never taken the plunge . Let me tell you this , The Casanova did not disappoint

The Casanova follows Elliot Miles and Kathryn Langford . Kathryn works for Elliott and the two absolutely dislike each other . You can feel the dislike between the 2 of them and I think that’s initially what drew me in. However you can feel the raw sexual energy between them. You find yourself wanting them together , especially when you get to see the other side of Elliot .

There were several moments in this book where I bursted out laughing hysterically . There were moments where my heart hurt for both Elliott and Kathryn . Moments where I wanted to slap them both for being idiots. Moments where I cried like a baby . I have fallen completely in love with both Elliott and Kathryn .

If you’ve read the previous books familiar faces make an appearance . If you are like me and haven’t read the previous books , this book will make you want to go back and read the first 2 . I know it did me .

If you are looking for a hot , steamy book with enjoyable characters this is that book for you . Check it out .

The Casanova by T L Swan

You really aren’t ready for this…

Thank you netgalley, can’t put into words how much I love you because I was able to read this gem early😍

Oh Elliot, you do take after your brothers don’t you, when you fall you don’t do it gently👀

This book was absolute perfection. It’s no secret that I love T L Swan’s books - I’m pretty sure you’ve all seen me swoon over Spencer Jones many times (still god tier book boyfriend - COME AT ME)🤦🏼‍♀️

But this series is everything. Everything you want, need, imagine in a romance book. It’s hilariously funny to the point that you’ll laugh out loud multiple times. It’s spicy 🔥 heartwarming and swoonworthy - but you all expected that because you’ll know all about his older brothers😍

Elliot and Kate were a joy to read. I literally exclaimed ‘I knew it’ at approximately 11pm last night because I couldn’t put it down. It’s a whirlwind ride that you won’t want to get off.

As always, it’s beautifully written with the family relationships being stunning to read. Drama. Sex. Mystery. And a group of angry ducks…

You don’t want to miss it. Out at the end of august and I cannot WAIT for Elliot’s paperback to meet up with The Stopover and The Takeover.

100% one of the best reads of the year.

I wasn’t so sure about Elliot and Kates story at first. It picks up - what a great story. I laughed out loud and loved revisiting the other brothers and their lives. Elliot is a bit much but I liked how the story followed his realization it can’t be about what he thinks - he has to look around and see what’s right in front of him. Thank you Netgalley for the ARC. Great summer read

⭐⭐⭐⭐.5/5

Elliot Miles is known in the media as Casanova Miles, you can guess why.
Kathryn Landon works at Miles media, she is good at her job but her and her boss Elliot don’t always get along. But then of course something change and both of them see each other in a different light.

I would be lying if I was saying I wasn’t nervous for his book. T.L. Swan always does an amazing job with setting op her characters in her previous books. And that was also the case for Elliot.
At some point the story did move on quite quickly but nothing that bothered me personally expect that the end got wrapped up a little too fast for my liking. But I sometimes need a story where the couple knows there is something more, and this is the case for most of T.L. Swan’s books.


Hero: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
Heroine: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
Steam: ⭐⭐⭐.5/5
Storyline: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
Side characters: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

3/5 stars

Elliot and Kate’s story was intriguing and sexy. I enjoyed the office romance and enemies to lovers trope.

I enjoyed that Kate didn’t take his crap and was willing to stand up to him. Elliot was the typical CEO with unreasonable expectations in certain instances. Their banter was fun and witty in the office. I would have liked to see their relationship progress more at work.

I had a hard time realizing work Elliot was the same person as vacation Elliot. During work Elliot was super short, callous and rude. Outside of work we saw none of those traits unless he was throwing a temper tantrum (which seemed to mostly happen at work).

The other issue for me was that Kate went from an independent main character to a love sick puppy in just a few chapters. She seemed to lose her backbone almost instantly. Which was annoying. She did get it back in the end.

I would have liked to see the chemistry between them a little more before they were suddenly together. I think that would have helped the hate to love relationship feel not so rushed.

Overall I enjoyed the book. It was a fun romance read

After reading The Stopover and The Takeover, books number one and two of this series, I saw this book and knew that I had to immediately jump in to read about the third Miles brother, Elliot Miles. Elliot Miles heads up the London Miles Media office as was mentioned in both previous books in the series. Kate is the IT department head and works for Miles Media.
At first, I thought this would be too similar to The Stopover where there is a workplace romance, but this was so different. First of all, they start off as enemies. Who doesn't love a good enemy to lovers story. I was sucked into the story from the very beginning and just had to know where it was going to go. I couldn't put it down and read it in one day.
Without giving away any spoilers, the twist at the end had me going for sure. I usually can predict big twists like that but I had not seen this one coming at all.
As for this book, I would one thousand percent recommend everyone to read this book and the other books in this series. T L Swan has become an instant buy author for me as her books always deliver.

Oh my heart T.L. Swan! The Miles Men not only have fierce love for each other as brothers but love their women with unapologetic fervour and it is amazing.

I love the complex nature of the relationships that T.L. Swan creates and how the characters have to grow and be vulnerable to allow their significant other a place in their heart.

I loved this so much and the grovelling was epic! So brilliantly done!

The only little thing that bothered me a little was the online chatting. I didn't like the fact that once Elliot knew it was Kate, he opened up to her so much more online than what he did in person especially since he knew Kate didn't know that he knew it was her. That did not sit right with me. Kate was not much better in that situation I must add.

I have recently discovered TL Swan’s books and have been devouring them! She has a way of telling a story that is refreshing and unique, and The Casanova is no different.

After 7 years of working together, Kathryn and Elliot hate each other. This changes of course when Elliot sees Kathryn one evening with her guard let down and things go from there.

Like the other Miles High Club books, the story is told from both Kathryn’s and Elliot’s POV. I love this because we really get a sense of how both characters are feeling throughout the story.

There are some questionable decisions made by both parties in the story, but I think the way Elliot tries to make up for his behavior is sweet and endearing.

I will say that the story felt a bit rushed and I don’t know if I ever got a feel for Elliot. He is described by Kathryn as being caring and thoughtful, but I didn’t see much of that in his character until the end. In The Takeover, TL Swan does a great job of really showing us who Tristan is, and I would have liked to see that for Elliot, too.

I still liked the book. The spice that I’ve come to expect from this author was great, and I will be eagerly awaiting the next installment.
