Best Miles story yet! Elliot Miles is swoonworthy, smart, vulnerable, and sexy. His care for Kathryn is evident and the book does a great job of investing you in the couple and both characters as individuals. There was one scene (you’ll know the one) where I found myself actually laughing out loud. Now I’m just impatiently waiting for Christopher’s sorry: Highly recommend!!

Love this book! The Takeover was a book I love to reread and was hopefully for the next installment. I was not disappointed at all! Elliot and Kate are an amazing match that come from such an original enemies to lovers story that is so different from Tristan and Claire’s story in a great way. There is so much chemistry and emotion between them. Kate’s traumatic past and Elliot’s domineering ways make the story so interesting I could not put the book down! The ending was perfect and surprising. I am definitely a fan of TL Swan and eagerly the next Miles High Club story!

Okay, if you do not want to read spolers, you should stop reading this.
I wanted to give my feedback without any leaks, but this I just need to talk about this book.

This book follows Kate and Elliot a.k.a Casanova Miles. It is 3rd book about Miles brothers, and I love the whole series. So when I saw this ARC I just needed to read it ASAP.

We met Ellito before, and let just say his reputaion was known as womanizer, but he had a weak spot for art, and for one woman he never really met, just saw, he named her Balerina....

And who is Kate, you may ask... Well, Kate is a Head of IT team in Miles company London. And she works for Elliot, and she hate his guts. Elliton doesn't like her, he thinks she is a B***ch... But something change for him, when he sees her dancing... And for him sparks fly...

And Yes, you guess it, they come together, and their romance is little wird, it is full of ups and downs... And just when everything is okay and lovely, Elliot behaves like an ass, and goes to meet a woman of his Dreams... Leaving Kate heartbroken. His answer to his actions is he would always ask himself WHAT IF....
Well this didn't sit well with me. Let me just say, the grass is always greener on the other side. Or don't go chasing waterfalls...
If you love someone, he or she is enough. There is no What IF...

I would not forgive...and they just said I love yous... So let just say Elliot is not my favorite Miles brother, and Yes you guess it right this wasn't my favorite one in the series...
It was just 3.5 stars for me...

T L Swan has quickly become one of my go-to authors, and once again, her latest offering in the Miles High Club series doesn’t disappoint. For those of you who haven’t read the two previous books, I would go so far as to say that The Casanova can be read as a standalone. Why? Because while getting hooked on Elliot Miles and Kathryn Landon’s all-consuming story, the author’s narrative skills convinced me that the new reader would easily be able to pick up on the know-how.

Swan doesn’t beat around the bush. Taken aback to see that there weren’t any paragraph breaks, the pacing is faster than fast. Something else that stood out was the change in her protagonists’ voice fonts. Another one used for the text messages helped me differentiate between conversations—and ooh boy, was I sold! Whom, you may ask is opening their heart online. It was so pleasantly weird, I had little option but to do an all-nighter, and since I wanted to savour Swan’s story to the hilt, I had no qualms about reading until daft o’clock!

Swan delivers all the feels and so much more. I adored how Kate came across as the no-nonsense employee whose tolerance for her boss’s unrealistic expectations was questionable. She’s not just good, she’s the best—but beneath her work facade lies a stunningly beautiful and sensitive person. Much to Elliot’s charagin, he can’t stop thinking about the woman he’d chosen to ignore for years. And then the fun begins. Yeap, observing them rub each other up the wrong way made me giggle heartily!

Where do I start with Elliot? No pun intended, but his layers are like peeling an onion that makes your eyes water. Some of his actions spoke louder than words and had me silently sobbing into my pillow! But if I lapped up the intolerant side of him, his vulnerability got the better of me. That said, this drop-dead gorgeous CEO who wants for nothing has a lot to answer for. Will all be forgiven? You’ll only find out by diving in with an open mind.

Being the banter snob that I am, Swan knocking all of her characters’ dialogue out of the park was an utter delight. And oh my, the animal scenes in perfect surroundings had me laughing out loud! Not only was this outstanding couple’s story cleverly put together, but the supporting role development bang on. Also, my heart suffered when the author saw fit, my smiles were at her every whim and to be honest, her prose left me in awe.

As my brain is running riot right now, I can’t say much more without spoiling this workplace enemies-to-lovers romance with a difference for you. However, what I’d like to mention are the quotes I’d highlighted. Seeing as it’s traditionally published, I had no wish to put my foot in it, but for the love of reading creative writing, this book overflows with emotional scenes and one-liners, great comebacks and hilarity! Last words; don’t think twice, one-click and enjoy Elliot and Kate’s journey. Bravo, Swan!

Many thanks to Amazon Publishing UK for the ARC through NetGalley in return for an honest review.

Another awesome read from TL Swan. Oh my goodness where to start, complex engaging characters, emotional story, and so much sexiness to keep you reading for hours. Loved this addition to the series and can’t wait for the next amazing book!

*I received this ARC from NetGalley for an honest review.*

TL Swan has perfected the romance and the humor for all her books. Her men can swept you off your feet and make you laugh out loud.

This book is about Elliot Miles and Kathryn Landon. One of the Miles Brothers.
Boss / Employee trope. Enemies to lovers. From the get go, grumpy Elliot and feisty Kate, hated each other. One time, Elliot saw Kate differently and he got interested and The fun, sarcastic banter started.

What I like about the book is Kate, she was bold knows what she wants, holds her conviction and made Elliot work for it. On the other hand, Elliot is a mystery. He was called a Casanova, but it didn’t show how he was as a passionate man towards a woman, but rather passionate with other things like the arts and fate. I hated his “what if” moment but I think he really regretted it.

There are many things going on inside the book like the secret identities of the main using a dating app and the secondary characters with hidden motives which for me is kind of predictable and confusing. The other characters from the recent books made cameos adding lively humor to the story. I am quite interested with Christian’s book in the future. Overall, a fun, steamy book to read.

This book is so funny, sexy and just what I needed to get my weekend MOJO going. When you read a TL Swan book you know you are going to get a sexy alpha and a lot of steamy good times and this book doesn't disappoint. I love the humor in this book as well which brings a bit of reality to. I hope she makes this into an audiobook because I can't wait to hear his sexy voice!

A couple months ago I discovered TL Swan and I devoured ALL of her books within a month. Needless to say, I was left wanting more! I couldn't wait for The Casanova to come out and was thrilled to see it available on NetGalley - score!

The Casanova is the third installment of the The Miles High series. Elliot Miles is one of four Miles brothers and is the CEO of Miles Media in the UK. He has been famously dubbed "The Casanova" as he can get any girl he wants and can make them do whatever he wants. Because he seems to be popular tabloid fodder, he tries to lead a private life. Deep down inside, he is a hopeless romantic and wants to find his fantasy girl - a woman that's extraordinary and just out of his reach. Elliot is an avid art collector and find himself drawn to one woman's artwork - no one knows who she is but she goes by the name Harriet Boucher.

Kate Landon is whip smart and runs the IT department at Miles Media. For seven years she's bumped heads with Elliot and is his arch nemesis. She hates Elliot with a passion and lives to torment him. Still grieving over her parents death, that happened many years before, she tries to make herself as invisible as possible - she hides behind an unkempt appearance and dowdy clothes. She puts all her energy into working and not much else.

One night after work hours, Elliot spots an attractive woman in a netball dress dancing in the copier room. He's bewildered when he realizes that the woman is Kate! He hasn't been that attracted to a woman in a long time and he doesn't know what it means. It doesn't help that Kate's new flatmate Daniel, a fashion stylist, says that enough is enough and gives Kate a complete makeover. Kate walks into Elliot's office the next day looking smoking hot and the attraction between them is palpable. Still confused about his feelings about her, he doesn't act on it - that is, one day, he finds Kate passed out at work from taking strong painkillers. He takes her home and realizes that he's really attracted to her.

They start seeing each other on the DL and both agree that their relationship is merely casual. It quickly goes beyond that and they end up falling for each other. The moment Elliott realizes that he is in love with her, he gets news that his private investigator has identified and located the elusive artist he's been obsessed with over the years. He's shocked when he finds out that Harriet is beautiful and young and happens to be the woman he often sees at art auctions and has been chasing for years. Always the dreamer and fantasizer, Elliot is torn because he loves Kate but he is firm believer in fate and needs to know if Harriet is the one that he's been meant to be with. If she is, what does that mean for him and Kate? Does Kate get her happily ever after?

I don't know how Swan does it, but she can tell a unique, engaging story. She has a way of sucking you in to the point where it's impossible for you to put down the book.. I love her writing style and loved that the book was told in dual POVs (Elliot's and Kate's). The plot was a bit rushed in my opinion (but still excellent) and felt that the character development for this book wasn't as strong as her other books. I still enjoyed this immensely and and will be waiting with baited breath for hopefully a fourth book to come out for Christopher Miles!

Thank you, NetGalley, Amazon Publishing UK and TL Swan for providing me with an eARC in exchange for my honest review.

The Casanova was the first book I’ve read by TL Swan and I loved it! It was sweet, sexy, and swoon worthy! Elliot and Kathryn were such fun characters to watch grow and evolve. I found myself laughing out loud so often while reading this one. And that ending! The angst had me flipping pages so quickly! I had to know what was going to happen. This was the third book in the series, but I didn’t feel like I was missing anything reading this as a stand alone. I will definitely be going back and grabbing the first two to read. A great one to add to your TBR!

Thank you to NetGalley and Amazon Publishing UK for the opportunity to read this book for an honest review!

DNF at 20%
I had read the Takeover and loved it, so I was super excited for this book as well, a few days before I saw that it was available for reading now on Netgalley so I decided to read it immediatly. I am sad to say that I was bored within the first couple of chapters and was realizing slowly that I was not enjoying this as much as The Takeover.

T L Swan has done it again. She waved another Miles tale full of humour, hotness and love. From enemies to soulmates, Kate and Elliot's story was full of little twists and turns, pulls and pushes and entertaining as hell.

Gah Elliot Miles! I am a huge fan of TL Swan books. That translates into I'm a huge fan of TL Swan's leading men..I never thought any other man could be as dreamy as Jamison Miles or as funny as Tristan Miles. Elliot Casanova Miles more than delivers; he hits it out of the park. The chemistry between Elliot and Kate Landon sizzles. And Elliot almost kindled my kindle! In a word, I was "enchanted."

DNF @32%. I just couldn't get past some of the immaturity (grown adults squeamish about tampons?) or toxic messaging (lots of fat-shaming, objectifying, and disparaging women's bodies).

Wow, so good! I’ve just finished ARC copy provided by the publisher of The Casanova via NetGalley and I didn’t think TL Swan could come close to The Takeover, (my favourite TL Swan book) but she did. Kate & Elliot totally drew me in and the story took a different twist from what I expected after having read book 2 of the Miles High Club. Kate is a hopeful romantic and it turns out that Elliot is a romantic too, well hidden under a very grump boss and also is an alpha idiot at times. I’m glad the painter part of the storyline worked out the way it did and that the characters from the first 2 books returned. 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

ARC REVIEW

OMG, I think it’s the best book by T.L. Swan I’ve read so far. It had everything in it and I don’t think there’s anything missing. I’m swooning over this story.

This story starts as enemies to lovers, boss employee story. Kathryn works as IT team manager for Elliot’s company. Kathryn loathes him and his Casanova/asshole behaviour, Elliot looses his patience with her some times too. Yet in no time they start no strings attached relationship and let me tell you it’s one of a kind relationship that is slowly changing for both of them.

I loved everything in this story, their banters at the beginning that were also present throughout the whole book, their chemistry and the pace of their relationship. I even laughed out loud in some scenes and there were also moments when I had tears in my eyes. This story gave made me fell so many things and made me swoon over how perfect Elliot is. He’s the guy that will give you the world and even more. I loved Kate so much, too. She was this perfect woman, confident one that didn’t let anyone stop her.

This is the book that I’ll definitely recommend for as long as possible.

Thank you Netgalley for the copy.

I had loved The Takeover (Tristan Miles) book so much and we had seen Elliot fascination for a certain Artist.

Elliot is named as a Casanova by the media, he despises it and would try his best to keep his love life from media so that it won't be ruined. He is cold and grumpy but once you pass his defences you would see an amazing and kind human being.

Kate had become another person after personal loss. She is intelligent, smart, sassy and doesn't fall over Elliot charms like every other woman.

I loved KateElliot bickering so much and their attraction, sexual tension is beyond words. The way they both had dealt with their own insecurities and the hardships by the end is so amazing.

I am so excited for Christopher Miles book

Elliot Miles has met his match in his IT Manager Kathryn Landon. For years they have despised each other until one night they connect and romance and hilarity ensue!
This is the third instalment in the Mile high club and I love them! Funny and steamy and I look forward to the next one. Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for this arc in exchange for my honest review.

I've been wanting to read a book by T. L. Swan for the absolute longest time, so when I saw this big boy in NetGalley, I snatched it right up and read it the first chance I got! And, let me say, I totally get the hype! I remember when the first book just came out and I saw it all over bookstagram and since this is the third in the series, I missed the other two brother's stories but I still really enjoyed this book either way!

To start, this book was definitely exciting, with some awesome banter between Kate and Elliot. Hate to love does that, that is why I love it so. So we begin with Kate and Elliot being total enemies and Elliot is Kate's boss at his family's company. They hate each other's guts, it's wonderful, we love seeing them get at each others throats, until one day, Elliot realizes Kate's "hotness" and can't think of anything else! To say this book was exciting is an understatement. The amount of ups and downs and the roller coaster ride is just so dramatic, I was here. For. It. *Imagine me clapping my hands with each word, thanks!*

Also, this book was hot. Bring a firefighter hot. Sinfully hot. Just plain HOT. and I loved that aspect, the steamy scenes where super well written! Plus, Elliot is just the best character, hot and sweet and loving and passionate and oh so very driven by fate, but we love him anyway!

So go read this one! You'll love it <3

Out on August 26, 2021!

Thank you to NetGalley and Amazon Publishing UK for the earc in return for an honest review.

ARC received from Netgalley and author/publisher in exchange for an honest review. Opinions expressed are my own and have not been influenced in any way.

The Casanova by T.L Swan is sweet, funny and romantic read. It was honestly really funny, i didn't expect it to make me laugh out loud. I loved Kathyrn, it was refreshing how confident and bold she was. I liked how she stood up for herself and didn't given in easily. Elliot's and Kate's chemistry was off the charts, the sex scenes were very steamy and they were well suited for each other.
I didn't like Eliot's character that much, i was hoping for him to get a character development but it came too late. I didn't like how he treated Kate, confusing her and leading her on. He didn't even know what he wanted; he wanted Kate to call him his bf but when she did he got weird. And the most disgusting of all he left her. Just like that. You can't just leave relationships because you think there might be something better out there
But i liked how Kate fought him and made him wait. I think Kate deserved better.
I've read the author's other books which were amazing and honestly i was expecting something better.
The only reason I'm giving this book 3 stars is that it was funny anf I loved Kate's character!!
