Description

A memorable night of passion refuses to stay just a memory in this sizzling and scandalous romance from bestselling author T L Swan.

I was upgraded to first class on a flight from London to New York.

The food, champagne, and service were impeccable.

The blue-eyed man sitting next to me, even better.

He was suave and intelligent.

We talked and laughed, and something clicked.

Fate took over and the plane was grounded, and we had an unexpected stopover for the night.

With no plans, we made our own.

We danced and laughed our way around Boston and had a night of crazy passion that no woman would ever forget.

That was twelve months ago, and I haven’t heard from him—until today.

I started a new job and met the CEO. You can imagine my surprise to see those naughty blue eyes dance with delight when he saw me across the mahogany desk.

But I’m not that carefree girl anymore. My life has changed, I have responsibilities.

I just got an email.

He wants to see me in his office for a private meeting at 8:00 a.m.

Naughty blue eyes have no place in the workplace.

What kind of private meeting does he have in mind?

A memorable night of passion refuses to stay just a memory in this sizzling and scandalous romance from bestselling author T L Swan.

I was upgraded to first class on a flight from London to New York.

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

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!!

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 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.

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.....

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.

Characters-⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hero-⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Heroine-⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Will i recommend it?-absolutely!
It is the best of TL Swan till date. So watchout for it!

Did a drunk person ever kicked your luggage at Heathrow Airport and talked nasty to you? Well and immediately after that have you been upgrated to first class where you met the most gorgeous man you have ever seen? No? Well our girl Emily has been there and done that. Or rather done him*ahem*.
Anyways this first book in the brand new series by TL Swan deals with a young,bright eyed Journalist Emily and the cynical billionaire bachelor Jameson Miles. They met on a roundabout flight from London to Chicago. Both of them were insanely attracted to one another from the very first time they met. Emily was returning home from a friend's wedding where she also had a not-so-meet cute with her then Ex and his latest side-piece(Emma's words not mine👐). And Jameson or "Jim" As he introduced himself as was too returning home to NYC. They met,they flirted,they watched Magic Mike together,they drank a whole lotta flight champaineand so when they had a Stopover at Boston due to weather inconviniences, Emily despite of herself had a very streamy one night stand with her "dream boat" of a man. But Jameson never promised anything more and never asked for her phone number,so Emily,though with great reluctance,let the idea of him go. But not before giving him her scarf to hide the hickey that she gave him(yeah Ikr?! A HICKEY!!!). Damn! that was some night between them.
Anyways,fast forward One year later, Emily had nailed her dream job at Miles Media. But the poor girl didn't know that her "Jim" is actually billionaire Jameson Miles and imagine her shock when she had a one one with the top guy and finds her beloved dream boat Jim behind the corporate desk at the top floor,giving her his panty melting smirk! They had a brief conversation where Emily(now with a boyfriend) tells Jameson that the night between them should never ve mentioned again. And also pointed out that he is just not the type of guy she usually goes after(BURN). Oviously our "big boy" Jameson does not listen to her and starts actively pursuing her,bribing her with chocolate,cakes and also observing her with a camera. These all should turn Emily off and make her run for the hills(basically the cam bit) but it has the opposite effect. Emily starts to vent partly because of her deadbeat,former football player boyfriend who lives at his parent's basement,plays video games all day and ignores her most of the time. And when he refused to move to NYC for a fresh start with her,they unfortunately broke up. Emily and Jameson soon after started an started seeing each other and ofcourse started falling in love. But none of them says so to the other one. But thats the good part of the story. The better half is filled with conspiracy and company fraud and unfortunately Jameson and Emily's budding relation gets caught in the middle. And when Jameson,despite knowing that Emily loves him, intensionally hurts her, the shit finally hits the fan. Cause you see, Emily decided that she loves herself more and deserves better(I whole heartedly agree with her!).....

“Falling in love with you is what isn’t fair. I never stood a chance . . . you knew that all along. You keep your heart in a tightly sealed Miles-High icebox, only to be looked at.”

God! My heart broke for them both. Jameson did some pretty irreversible things in their relationship which is pretty difficult to forget. What happened next you say? Did they get their happily ever after? Well you have to watch out for the book and see what happens to their story cause I don't wanna spoil the fun😂 Just that they do get their happily ever after but it was a long road and Jameson had to travel on his 'Grovelling' "car " to get to his happily ever after! All the secondary characters in this story were awesome! Specially Tristan. Omg! i can't wait for his story next! I loved every thing about this book and I am so so happy that I got a Advance Reader's Copy through Netgalley. I am very very thankful. And anyways I had a great time reading it. Finished it in almost 12 hours and I will recommend it to every one of TL Swan's fans and also anyone who enjoys a good ole story of a miserable,cynical,billionaire and his fiesty sassy "FB". Happy reading ...xoxo.

I liked the concept -- meet cute on a flight, amazing lay-over (yes, pun intended), reunited one year later to discover handsome man is a media mogul billionaire that you now work for. Overall, I felt the story went a little long, featured super needy characters and the writing would've been better with more polish. For instance, how many times does the writer have her heroine "giggle"? So many, I lost count.

Wow, This book had it all. It was hot, there was buildup/ chemistry, lots of humor and over the top alphaness. I love this book. I cannot wait for Tristan's book! I fell like Emily and Jameson's relationship is like a rollar coaster. Both of their tempers are horrible but I think it adds so much humor to the book. This book was really good. The story line sucked you in and i rad this cover to cover last night. I seriously think the author outdid themselves with the start of this series.

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.

Too much bickering and fighting
Too much sex the fuck like rabbits and do not communicate
He is an ass control freak no clubbing no talk with ex
Too many many pages
Being brief is a plus somethings

Five Sexy AF Stars!!

T.L Swan is an automatic one-click author for me and she has totally outdone herself with this book! This book is so hot that you’ll need a cold drink and a fan.

A one-night stand turns into something so much more. These two had an instant connection. I loved their banter, I loved their attraction to each other. The back and forth is fun and the sexy times are freaking insanely hot.

Jameson and Emily are my newest favorite book couple.

Addictive
Hot
Unputdownable
A MUST READ!

What a delightfully engaging, deliciously sexy, heartbreakingly painful, and wonderfully fun read! Whew! If that isn’t enough to let you know I loved this book, I just don’t have the words.

’I’ve died and gone to layover bad-girl heaven.’

This was first and foremost a fun read as Emily and Jameson bounce back and forth between intense sexual chemistry and what some might consider all-out war. Their banter was sharp and quick making me smile and laugh. And when they were in the throes of battle it was border line antagonistic and sometimes even mean. It was absolutely perfect.

While Jameson could really serve out a dishing of cold attitude, Emily was more than capable of counteracting it. She was quick to let him know what she thought of him when he acted this way. I adored her for it.

The first part of this book is filled with delicious smexy times mixed with arguments the likes I’ve never read before. But they are constantly moving forwards in their rather bizarre way. The last ¾ is when things take a turn and the angst is ramped up. So much begins to happen that I could not put this book down and found myself staying up until 3:00 a.m. to find out what was going to happen.

I did struggle some over Jameson’s behavior towards the end, and there were times that the character motivation for such actions seem to be a bit all over the place. The plotline during these times just felt somewhat loose and I would have liked things to have a tighter pull to them.

Either way, I still absolutely loved these characters and this story as a whole. I was completely engaged the entire time and it stirred pretty much every emotion that can be stirred in a romance. I really can’t express how much I enjoyed this book and I’m looking forward to reading the next one in the series!

I started off really enjoying this book, but as it progressed, too many little things popped up that made it hard to like the characters. Jameson's personality was all over the place. Half of the time he acted like a petulant child, then he'd switch to alpha male to sweet lover and back again. It wasn't cohesive or believable. The way he treated Emily near the 3/4 was awful and the fact that she was so willing to go back with him after a little groveling didn't show a healthy relationship, especially because they only dated for three months- sometimes it's okay to move on. Jameson's brother, Tristan, was probably my favorite character. I believe his book is next and I though Swan's writing was good enough that I will probably pick it up. I just hope our characters are a little better developed.

What a roller coaster of a story. The chemistry between Emily and Jameson is off the charts and this book is super hot. It’s full of emotion and angsty. Some of the dialogue was overly cheesy though and at times the characters acted like teenagers. There’s a lot of eye rolling and I definitely wanted to smack them both several times. But this story is drama, drama, drama. I enjoyed the ridiculousness though and I’m definitely gonna check out more from this author.

This was my first book by the author, and will be reading more. I think she could be popular with our customers. Loved the secondary characters and the dynamics of friendship they brought to the storyline. Several good moments of interaction that had humor intertwined with romance. Not over the top steamy but maybe think twice before recommending to more conservative readers.

The Stopover is my first book by T.L Swan, but it certainly won't be my last. As it was such a well written, well paced, and brilliantly enjoyable story. With strong, realistic characters, sharp banter, and a plot line that balanced perfectly the sizzling heat Jameson and Emily generated with everything else it had going on. Including an interesting minor storyline involving a rival media mogul. Still, I must admit to finding this story a bit too long and the ending a touch abrupt and flat compared to the rest of it. Yet, nonetheless it was a totally engrossing and entertaining read. With a unique proposal that will remain with me for a long time. And it certainly kept me up far too late, which is never a bad thing in my book.

I would happily recommend it to others.

Clever and Captivating New York Romance.

This my perfect romance novel. It had just about everything I look for in a great romance and rated a 5 in just about every one of those categories. It had plenty of steam between the two main characters, dirty talk, witty repartee, bickering between the strong female heroine and the Alpha male Hero, jealously, an intriguing plot with a mystery, awesome supporting characters and more. The writing was terrific the flow and timing was excellent with no long periods where I was waiting for something to happen. I would recommend this to anyone who likes romance.

It says is is over 500 pages but it truthfully felt like only a few hundred and I rarely say that, it ever. This book went very fast with a lot of laugh out loud moments, sexy scenes and a great background storyline. It starts out with Emily Foster having a terrible day as she waits in line at the airport to check in for her flighty New York. She ends up getting bumped up to first class which has never happened before and though the guy sitting next to her let’s her have the window seat, he just won’t shut up and annoys her.

However, after talking and drinking champagne throughout the entire flight the two have become friendly. They are unable to land in New York where she has a job interview, and instead are routed to Boston for a night due to a snowstorm. After her only one night stand and the best time she has ever had, her traveling companion Jim leaves in the morning without ever asking for her number.

Fast forward one year and Emily has now had that interview at her dream job and moves to New York. On her first day at work, she meets the CEO of the company, Jameson Miles, her former one night stand. Jameson wants to pick up where they left off because he is intensely attracted to Emily. Though Emily is put off with the fact that he never even bothered to ask for her phone number. She has a boyfriend and is not interested in a few nights of fun at the expense of her dream job.


Oh my God. I have a boyfriend. Shit. “I’m so sorry if I gave you the wrong idea.” I take a step back from him. “I have a boyfriend,” I blurt out.
His face falls in horror. “What?”
“I know.” I wince. “I . . . I . . .” I shake my head because I have no words that can get me out of this. “I have a boyfriend, and I can’t go out with you.”
“Dump him,” he fires back.
“What?” I croak.
“You heard me. Dump him.” He reaches for me.


The way Jameson goes about getting Emily to agree to go out with him is pretty funny. He is a wealthy handsome Alpha male who has never heard the word “no”. So he has no idea of boundaries and it is entertaining to say the least. There is also a mystery in the office as someone In Emily’s work area is selling company secrets to the biggest competitor, who happens to be Miles’ nemesis. Emily figures out what is going on so is brought in with Jameson and his brother Tristan to help.

Tristan is one of three of Jameson’s brothers and is the head of Acquisitions at Miles Media in New York, while Elliot and Christopher both work out of the London office. Tristan is the nice guy to Jameson’s Cranky brooding type, but they work well together and Tristan plays a big part in this book. The other two do make an appearance though.

I roll my eyes in disgust. “The Miles brothers are overrated, if you ask me.”
They’re not, though. I’m lying through my teeth. All with dark hair, tall, and built . . . square jaws in their designer playboy suits. Everything about the four of them screams power and gorgeousness. Assholes.


At the end of The Stopover, we get the first Chapter of The Takeover, book 2 in the Miles High Club. If you haven’t yet guessed, since Tristan is the head of Acquisitions, this is his story and I for one, can’t wait.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Emily ends up finding herself in first class after waiting in line at the airport and someone becomes loud and obnoxious. There she meets a sexy as hell man that makes her heart race am her panties melt. They share a sexually charged flight and from there things gets hotter. fast forward months and they guy she couldn't forget was starring at her across the desk. What is a girl to do when her new boss was the guy that rocked her moths before? The chemistry between the characters was so hot and intense. I read this book twice before I even wrote this review. Thank you NetGalley for letting me read this book.

The Stopover is book 1 in The Miles High Club. Jim and Emily meet on a flight after Emily is upgraded to First Class and a problem at the airport where they need to land leads to a stopover. Their interaction through out the flight range from funny to smoking hot. The chemistry between the two was awesome and it leads to an amazing night. Fast forward one year and Emily finally lands the job of her dreams in NYC for Miles Media and guess who is the CEO. Honestly for the majority of the book I felt that this was going to be another 5 star from this author, but unfortunately there were a few things that kept happening that I had to hold back a star. First Jim is super naughty with a dirty mouth which I love. He's bossy and dominate which was sexy especially when Emily who was cute and feisty didn't listen. What is not sexy I also found he acted like a spoiled little boy to many times for me to ignore and while I love an alpha jerk, I hated the way he treated Emily at times. Emily was great, I loved that she was feisty and loved with everything she had. I could have done without all the begging she did after an incident at the end but I did like how she didn't immediately forgive Jim. Overall I would definietly recommend this book and I look forward to more in this series.

The Stopover was a delightful read of love, trials and tribulations. It spoke to me with easy reading and the rom- com genre was addictive for Saturday reading.
I was slightly disappointed in the ending though. It just seemed to stop.
Overall; it was a fun read that I would definitely recommend.

I've always been a sucker for a good romcom, and this book's blurb drew me in. The cover and the title was pretty intruiging too, and before I know it, I've already downloaded it and started reading. There are certain elements that i look for everytime i read romcoms, the chemistry of the couple, the plot, character development and of course how the two main characters got their HEA.

So for the chemistry... boy oh boy, Jameson and Emily sure got that in spades. The attraction was undeniable, and surely those first few pages hooked me into their world. Overall, the plot was good enough to make me curious until the very last page. There were some plot twists i did not see coming, but there were also romcom cliches that you would come to expect from this genre. The only thing that I would have asked for something more was their character development, which is why i couldn't give a 5 star. I wished both Jameson and Emily's relationship had developed sooner in the story. Although of course, i can't fault the author for sticking close to how couples these days develop into their relationship. I laughed, i cried, got annoyed on some of their stupid adult mistakes, and fell in love when they kissed and made up all over again.

The ending gave me all the happy feels and contentment i seriously crave from rom com reads. If you're into books that bring sexy, romance, angst, hurt, laughter, and happy into your heart. Then you might just enjoy this book as much as i did. Happy reading!

This is a certified honest-to-goodness review from a self-proclaimed bookworm. Getting a free copy of this book from NetGalley did not, in any way, affect the authenticity and objectivity of this review.

T L Swan is a genius! There’s just no other word for it. She has brought those characters into real life and made them human like. There are times in the book where you don’t know whether you want to kick or kiss Jameson. But let’s face it I think everybody is cheering for Emily from the beginning. I was unable to put this book down.

Hot, emotionally charged, sexy, romantic love story, that keeps you gripped until the finish.

A chance meeting with a deep connection, a one night stand that reaches deeper feelings than is first realised. High powered business, a new job that throws this all into the same orbit where the fireworks really start to happen.

Emotional feelings that can't be denighed, in the hardest of personal and professional circumstances finally won through for a happy ever after ending.

A great read.

I am always gripped by TL Swan's stories and The Stopover is another winner. The plot is super sexy, angsty, funny, infuriating and clever. I laughed, cried and held my breath in anticipation while devouring the words. You will want to read every word to find out how it works out; it is a very compelling story.

The characters are real and frustrating; as are a lot of people I know but, they both have valid reasons for being frustrating so I forgive them and love them. Emily and Jameson are absolutely zinging with sexual attraction and fit together perfectly... for one night. How exciting to have a steamy night with such sexual chemistry! When they meet again, it’s still there but things just keep happening to cause drama, doubt and heartache. What more could you ask for in a book?

I simply can’t wait for other Jameson’s brother's stories. These brothers are super sexy and full of character. Well done TL Swan, you’ve done it again.

I received this book in exchange for my honest review. This is the first book in The Miles High Club. This story is about CEO Jim and sweet and lovely Emily who were met at the flight stopover. They felt an instant attraction, they spend some great time together and they moved on with their lives. They met again when Emily started to work in his Miles Media. They still have a strong connection and chemistry but Jim is not the same guy she met. He is rude and spiled snob, he drives me crazy with his bossy attitude and I'd rather slapped him. Emily is a great girl, I love her honesty and this book deserves 4 stars. Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this opportunity.

I received a copy through netgalley. All opinions expressed are my own

Jameson and Emily meet on an overseas flight. There is instant attraction, flirting, and humour. After a memorable layover for both of them, they go their separate ways.

A year later Emily has moved across the country and starting a new job at Miles Media. Much to her surprise, the CEO of the company is none other than Jameson.

My most favourite part was the camping trip part; I only wish that it would have been fleshed out a bit more. Have them spend the whole weekend in the tent...

Emily and Jameson have this intense push-pull connection. At first it was endearing, but I got tired of their constant bickering, and need to be in control. They would connect, someone would say something that pissed off the other person, and then there was anger and tears and swearing. It seemed really unhealthy.

Great new novel by T L Swan that captivates, and enchants from page one with a rollercoaster romance, some incredibly cliche' but adorable side-line characters, a high-stakes intrigue plot, and some serious sizzle! You might want to save this one for reading at home!

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

I enjoyed getting to know the characters in The Stopover. The character development felt real, and the flow from Emily's POV to Jameson's POV was effortless and refreshing. The plot moved along at a good pace and kept my interest throughout. The mystery aspect was definitely an added bonus, although I did feel like there were some missed opportunities where that was concerned.

I don't want to give anything more away about the story than what is in the description blurb. I would recommend this book to a friend and look forward to the next book in the series.

OMG!! It was steamy, sexy and freakin’ hot!!!! There’s something about a romance that takes place at the airport, on a flight or at a hotel. A certain sultriness found nowhere else. A chance meeting between Emily and Jim in the first-class cabin sends them on a sizzling and emotional collusion course. Swan starts with a bang, then dials up the heat to full throttle. To Emily, sexual satisfaction isn’t the same as love, and she’s been burned in the past by giving her heart too freely. Jim is handsome, smart and filthy rich. When they are together, their connection is electric. Even though she meets Jim on the flight, its Jameson, the billionaire CEO she needs to accept into her life. Despite how she fights it, she falls for him. Jameson is willing to risk it all to keep Emily from slipping through his fingers. But he’s not the kind of man who wants to stake a claim and make a relationship his top priority. His job comes first, and relationships must fit in. When he decides to go all in – he GOES ALL IN. You will find yourself rooting for Jameson and wanting to throw a book at Emily’s head. I know I was. I was like, get a grip woman – this man wants to be with you, and you are fighting him at every turn. LET JAMESON LOVE YOU!!!!! Now, Emily is torn between Jim she meets on the plane and Jameson, the CEO and she is unsure whom she can trust. She will have to surrender her heart if she wants a happy ever after with the man she fell in love with and the man who wants to love her. A one-night stand leads to romance filled with major turbulence. Make sure your seat belt is fastened and enjoy this flight. The perfect MILE HIGH KINK BOOK CLUB read with great characters and lots of hot, steamy, naughty sex. The Stop Over is sure to satisfy. Stay tuned for the next book in the series, The Takeover…..

I am such a fan of TL Swan and love the way she pulls you in and makes the characters and story so exciting .
I chance meeting in first class on a plane that leads to one night between Emily and Jameson. It is fun, flirty, exciting and when then end up on a stopover it is down right steamy.
Although they go their separate ways and fate steps in !!! It is complicated, mysterious and a fight at every turn but the attraction may be too much for either of them. They can stay or walk away but friendship is not an option !!Loved it !!

2.5 stars. I'm torn with how to review this because I won't lie: I read it straight through the night and suffered from lack of sleep at the office the next day because of it. It's a very quick and easy read, but there's also nothing here that I haven't read before. This was also one of the most toxic relationships I've ever read! I found myself laughing at how ridiculous the 'relationship' was, and then I was tearing my hair out and trying not to scream in complete frustration with what was happening. But then again, I couldn't seem to put the book down and found myself staying up until 5am to finish it... So, there's that? I'm warning you now, this is a fair bit of a rant (but I've tried to reign it in as much as possible)!

My favorite part of the book had to be the friendship and banter between Emily, Aaron and Molly. I was so worried the latter would end up being bad people but I was glad to be proven wrong! Their friendship reminded me a lot of how I interact with my friends and it just felt completely natural. The interactions between these friends brought much needed comedy to the story to distract from all the silly drama between the two MCs. I initially also liked Emily's character, mostly for her drive to pursue her passion without letting anything deter her. She knew what she wanted and she went for it without letting anything hold her back. It's a pity that all but disappeared the minute Jameson came into her life. She mildly protested every now and again but it's like her backbone shriveled up whenever he came around.

Like I mentioned, this was one of the most toxic relationships I've ever read. Emily and Jameson/Jim/Jay's relationship yo-yo'd from getting into ridiculously blown out of proportion fights over (literally) nothing, to jumping straight into bed for wild sex. It took a really long time for them to even get to the point where they would try being civil and having normal conversations without blowing up; and even then it didn't really last long most of the time. The basis of their relationship was physical and in my opinion, it never really progressed out of that phase by the end. I will say though that their physical chemistry was off-the-charts. If you don't like explicit sexual scenes in books, this will not be for you! If I had to rate the heat out of 5, it'd be a solid 5 though lol

For someone who's meant to be an "older man", Jay was the most immature rich CEO character I've encountered. He was petulant, emotionally unavailable and often times acted like a really big man-child, and at his office no less. He would be cruel and cold one minute and in the next he'd be messaging Emily, demanding she go with him to dinner, as if he hadn't just treated her like trash not too long back? I wanted to slap him so hard. What gave me hope the first time was that she would say no and I'd be like HELL YEAH EMILY! And then in the next scene she'd cave and they'd end up screwing like rabbits before the night's out. GIRL, PLEASE! At the same time though, towards the end of the book, I found myself curled over with laughter over some of Jay's drama queen antics--especially during the camping scene. It was actually hilarious and 100% amusing? Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to redeem his character from start to finish. There were other inconsistencies with the events in the book that had me scratching my head for a while before shrugging and moving past it because I was more concerned with other issues in the book.

All in all, I finished this book laughing in bewilderment (at myself mostly) and I was genuinely curious whether this is what people felt when they finished reading the After series. I'm referring to the people who acknowledge that the relationship in that series was toxic AF and yet they STILL couldn't put that book down. Is this how you felt?? Haha I'll still never read that series, but after reading this book, I do think I get what you mean with your comments 😂

Somebody crank up the A/C, because The Stopover by TL Swan was HOT!

Emily Foster found herself upgraded to a first class seat on a flight home from a crappy trip, seated next to a sexy stranger named Jim, and taking full advantage of an overnight weather induced layover with said sexy stranger. After a steamy night of the best sex of her life, of course she was bummed that Jim didn’t so much as ask for her number before he left the next morning without looking back. Fast forward to a year later as she’s touring the upper management floor of her new dream job, and who else does she see sitting before her in the CEO’s chair other than Jim…or Jameson Miles, CEO of Miles Media as he’s better known to his friends, family, and colleagues.

There are so many things that I loved about this book. Let me count the ways…

1: As frustrating and as much of pains in the butts as they could both be, I loved everything about Jameson and Emily. Emily is a “take no $@*#” kind of gal. She doesn’t let anyone push her around. She stands up for what she believes. And, she’s not afraid to ask for what she wants. She’s also got a quick wit and a dirty mouth which makes her a character you can’t help but love, even when she’s being impossibly stubborn. On the other hand, we’ve got Jameson…a stressed out CEO with the weight of the world on his shoulders that’s not used to hearing the word “no”. He’s bossy. He’s domineering. He commands attention and respect. And sometimes, he’s unlikeably cold. But, he’s got a soft spot for Emily which lets us see his sweeter side. And, hot dang is this man sexy as all get out! The dynamic between these two is so fun to watch. They fight. They make up. Repeat. At the end of the day, their pull to each other is magnetic and so much more than hot sex.

2. The supporting cast in this book is amazing! They balance out our hero and heroine in all of the best ways while being completely hilarious at the same time. They add a fun break to the roller coaster that Emily and Jameson have us riding on with them.

3. This book is over 500 pages. I was a little overwhelmed at the thought of the length going in to this book. But as I got into it, it seemed like the book flew by. I found myself saying “ok, just one more chapter” for 3 hours straight. I couldn’t put it down, and I finished it in a day and a half!

4. Did I mention this book is STEAMY?!? The sexual pull is the foundation of their relationship at the start of it, and we went along on that ride with them from chapter two on! *fans self*

5. The ending was EXACTLY what I needed it to be in every single way. EXACTLY…

The Stopover is the first book in the Miles High Club series, but it reads as a standalone. I’m already hooked on this band of brothers, so I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book! Great book. Great characters. Great story (with a tiny hint of mystery). Great romance. Great everything. I’ll be swooning over this one for a hot minute.

Loved the push/pull of this romance. Jameson is hot and yet aloof and Emily is like a new butterfly, dying to try her wings out. Sometimes they frustrated me with their hot and cold dialogue but they held my interest.

This author is a favorite of mine and with good reason. She pays attention to small details, presents a well thought out plot line and writes the most intriguing conversations!

This book was a pleasant surprise! I've never read TL Swan before, but I definitely plan on devouring the rest of this series. It was refreshing and extra entertaining to have such strong-minded and fiesty characters. Jameson can be combative and moody, and is used to getting his way. Well, Emily is definitely no submissive wallflower. She's sassy, fiesty, not afraid to speak her mind. The back and forth banter was fantastic and real, and sometimes frustrating. I definitely wanting to shake these two at points.

What I wasn't expecting, though, was to cry. Okay, so this love story isn't the kind with one big problem that eventually is resolved with a HEA. There were multiple bumps and bruises they had to move past together. However, in the last 30% or so, the heartache Em and Jim faced broke me. Tears running down my face.

I loved every minute of The Stopover and had a hard time putting it down. I can't wait for the next book!

I’m a huge TL Swan fan. This is the first book in a brand new series- Miles High Club.
Jameson drove me crazy with his indecisive B.S. but I held out hope that he would commit.
Emily was just fabulous. My heart hurt for all she went through and I’m relieved she got her happy ending.
