I have been a fan of this author for a while and I think this is a new favourite! As always I love the writing style, it's so easy to read and I couldn't put the book down. I loved every character in this book, Claire and Tristian are such a good couple even though Claire did frustrate me at times.

I loved the dual perspective and I really did love Tristian's chapters. Tristian is one swoon-worthy man, I loved how much he loved her kids and treated them as his own. Especially with Harry. I also really liked the dyslexia representation in this, it isn't talked about enough in books so I appreciated that. This book had some seriously hilarious moments with Tristian and the kids, I couldn't stop laughing about how they met each other.

I really liked the ending and all of the slightly over the topness of this book and the only reason I didn't give this book five stars because I wanted an epilogue. This author always writes pretty unpredictable romances and I can't get enough of them.

A widowed mother of three rambunctious boys isn't Tristan Miles' typical jam but for Claire Anderson, he's willing to make an exception. They first meet during a not-so-casual lunch meeting when Tristan tried to buy Claire's late husband's company. The meeting was a disaster, what with Claire insulting him and storming out. Clearly she left an impression on him, though, because he called her up three days later to ask her out, earning a firm no. That should have been the end of it but then they end up at the same conference six months later, and well, if it isn't a sign from above..

I loved this novel! I have been reading a lot of romance novels as of late and this one is way up there. It was utterly charming, fun, sexy, and parts of it had me laughing so hard my husband grew alarmed. I really enjoyed the interactions between Tristan and Claire's boys, thinking that was handled with sensitivity, grace, and even some levity. Parts of that dynamic felt very realistic and honest as well. I'll definitely be checking out more of this writer's work. Thanks to Amazon Publishing UK for an advanced reading copy of this novel, scheduled for release on 08/27/2020.

So before I begin I want to state I am not a huge fan of this author. I had tried to read a few of her books before and I hated them, books like Dr Stanton and Mr Spencer. I never made it past a few chapters so maybe I would have loved them had I read more but I just hated the first few chapters I did read. Then last year the author released The Stopover and it sounded so good, so despite how I did not like her books I read it and I fell in love with the Miles family. So when I finished it and I heard there was a second book, The Takeover well I have been waiting for over a year to read that book.

And I adored it. Maybe its even better than the first book was. However be warned you will not be able to stop reading it. I adored Tristan and I loved how in he was with Claire. Claire was annoying at some parts of the story but luckily it does not last long. I also adored her sons, I think it might be why I loved this more than the first book because I did not just love Tristan but I loved her kids too, Fletcher, Harry and Patrick made this book so funny and heartwarming. I seriously will never ever forget the first time Tris meets her sons, I could not stop laughing. I think that was the best first meet cute I have ever read.

This is the story told in dual POV's by Claire and Tristan. Tristan loves to help companies out when they are in trouble and take them over. Claire is a widow and she clings to her husbands memory, his love, his kids and his media company.

The two meet and do not get along and 6 months later they end up in Paris where they start to let their guards down and have a fling. But Tristan wants to continue and Claire feels that they live in different worlds. But Tristan has a hard time letting go and I loved how he fought for Claire even if it meant fighting Claire. He is a fighter and this family realy needed his heart and fight.

An absolutely awesome story and I loved that they only want each other. Aside from the dead husband their are no exes or messy afffairs or exes getting in the way of this story.

TL Swan is one of my favourites… I love reading her books! She is one of those authors that I am hooked with her stories and I can’t put her books down!!
“Takeover” for me it was an exceptional read, I loved it!! Definitely it was exactly what I needed!! It was funny, sweet, beautiful, heartwarming, steamy, sentimental and her writing as usual exceptional!
I absolutely loved the chemistry between Tristan and Claire! I loved Tristan for the way he was treating Fletcher, Harry and Patrick and how much he loved them, like they were his own!!! I loved the fact, that it was written in dual pov! I loved it because it was totally different from everything TL Swan has written until now! So for me is 4.5 🌟 and the reason for not rating it 5🌟 is because I’m missing an epilogue!!!I Great read, totally recommend it!!!!

I liked the premise of this story and I really liked that the female protagonist is a mother of three. Where the book didn't quite make it was in character development. Claire had a relentless defensiveness that was a bit tiresome and Tristan was condescending and overbearing. So, between her trying to show how tough she is and him being stifling in his interactions with her, I was left wishing for more nuance in their personalities. An entertaining quick read, but not a book I would go back to a second time.

Received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Loved Claire and Tristan! Claire is a widow of 5 years with three sons and a media company that is in serious trouble. Tristan is wanting to take it over for his family company, Miles Media. Claire views Tristan as a player and her enemy. Tristan is a fixer and what starts as sex ends with him stepping into Claire’s and her son’s lives! Will Claire let him take over? This was such a great read! All the feels! Tristan will make you swoon! 5 stars

I liked this book, but just that: liked. I didn't hate it or love it, and, though it was a fun read, I don't think I would read it again. I'm sure some people loved it, but this book just didn't do it for me. It seemed to generic.
Other things:
PROs
- The characters were in situations not often written about (i.e. widowed and running a sinking company), which partially makes up for the lack of creativity with the plot line (two people from virtually different worlds are perfect for each other but ,ust overcome their problems in order to be together) which is also severely overused.
- The love interest making an effort with her children. YUSS! We love to see this, so major points to love interest.
- All of the characters were well developed and the characterization was fabulous.
CONs
-Generic plot line.
- I don't think think Tristan's (love interest) point of view was necessary and added much to the story.

I wasn't much of a fan of T.L. Swan until I read The Takeover. What a wonderfully refreshing take on widowhood and starting over. Well written with great characters, The Takeover is not only steamy but sweet and laugh out loud funny. A definite 4.5 star book. Thank you T.L. Swan and #NetGalley

I read the first book in this series and had this second book on my to-read list since finishing that one. I love the details that the author provides and how you are drawn into the characters. Claire Anderson first meets Tristian Miles when he tries to buy her late husband's company that she is currently trying to keep afloat. As the twists and turns of the book, these two end up together and all that comes along with a single, man trying to find his place with a widow and her children. The growth of Tristian throughout the book was welcome and the happy ending is always a plus. Wonderful book and I look forward to reading this author's books in the future.

4 Stars
It is not every day you can have an author put together a book that delivers on many levels. They can either be sweet and family-oriented or down and dirty. They can have Alpha guys demanding or they could have men who have soft spots for kids. Rarely do you get all of the above in one book, especially with an author who is know for the naughty.

This book had all that and a bag of chips.

**Thank you the publisher and Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review**

Wow! This book has absolutely left me speechless. I have loved every book by T. L. Swan so I was not worried this wouldn't be an absolute hit but it far exceeded my expectations. She is just one of those authors that get you hooked within the first few pages. Out of all her books so far I best related to this one also because it featured a mom who was struggling to raise her children in bouts of grief. The chemistry between Tristan Miles *swoon* and Claire is everything and more! The banter was hilarious and Claire's boys were wild but so sweet. I laughed out loud multiple times and boy did I cry as well. I really enjoyed their love story being told from their different points of view. It helped you really understand how each character felt. The only tidbit I didn't enjoy was the sped through epilogue or lack of really. It needed more....dialogue like her usual epilogues. I'm hoping their's a continuation of their story in the upcoming books! Otherwise, it was a fantastic novel and I would definitely recommend it to my Book Club and to any other romance lovers.

"Very thankful to the publisher and Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review"

2 stars

Okay... I didn't liked this one. I'm completely honest when I say I had problems with this book from the start. The romance was sorta slow paced but then all the sudden became instalove(?) It was a bit odd but I overlooked that because my biggest problem with this book was that... I hated the female lead, Claire was everything I dislike in a character; she was judgy and whiny (for a 38 year old woman!) And annoying and always seemed to think she was better than everyone else. Also she was extremely rude to everyone and worse to Tristan (which I actually liked and enjoyed reading) I could not get her appealing and why would someone like Tristan would even liked her.

WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD....



YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!





SPOILERS:

The worst part of the book and the one that almost made me DNF was the last few chapters with the whole adoption thing... omg... I wanted to smacked her! When her children had more sense and logic than the mother... I just... it was so frustrating. She ended up hurting not only Tristan but her own kids and that made me disliked her even more.

It's quite a shame because this book had potential.

Thank you NetGalley for giving me an ARC in exchange for a review.

This books has everything a feel-good romance book needs. Filled with steam, drama, and passion, it is perfect for anyone looking for an easy-to-read romance book.

Claire is struggling to juggle three young boys, her deceased husband's dying company, and grief. When she meets Tristan Miles she hates everything he is trying to do-- buy her husband's legacy out from underneath her while trying to appear the "good guy." But after a weekend at a feel-good conference, she realizes Tristan may not be as evil and arrogant as he first appeared.

This book is filled with passion and romance, but with the struggles of grief and family after the death of a loved one. While some characters were very two-dimensional, overall I loved this book and the story it painted. I loved the relationship Tristan was able to build with Claire's kids and the complexity of a relationship with so many moving parts. Highly recommend to any romance lover!

I have been waiting for this book since I finished The Stopover, the first book in the Miles High Club series. I loved the tension and sexiness of the first book, and I became intrigued by the Miles brothers. Tristan did not disappoint. One would assume that a powerful, rich, womanizing man would be a little more...sharp and cold, but Tristan was anything but--and he stole my heart. I was rooting for him from the beginning. The one I had the most trouble with was "Anderson". I understood that she was a widow, working diligently to keep her husband's company as a legacy for their sons, but she continued to act, live, and love as if the man were still alive. She victimized Tristan over and over, basically trying to fit him into the tiny spot in her heart where her husband's memory didn't already have roots. She wouldn't allow herself or Tristan to be truly happy, and I felt terrible for the man who'd done so much for her, who fell so hard for her, and she still held back--even though she says over and over that she loves Tristan.

Overall, this book was sexy, intelligent, heartbreaking, smile-inducing, and enjoyable. I cannot wait to read Christopher and "Harriet's" book.

I loved it! I was waiting for Tristan's story since I read the first book and I am happy to report that it was as good as I expected to be. I highly recommend it if you are a T.L. Swan fan and like billionaire romance books. It didn't disappoint. So thankful to NetGalley for the chance to read and review this early.

Happy reading!

Tristan Miles, is basically a walking god! Gorgeous, women want him and Men want to be him. Claire Anderson runs her husband’s company and Tristan wants to buy it. Claire’s husband died five years earlier leaving her with three sons and a now failing company but a chance meeting at a seminar leaves them wanting more!
Oh how I loved this book! Proper laugh out loud moments, hot romance and a few tears welling in the eyes! Next one please! Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for this arc in exchange for my honest review.

HOLY HOT TRISTAN MILES!!!!
I saw a friend request this book from netgallery and I thought "eh why not? she always has great picks for romances." So shoutout to Emily for sharing her picks!
This book from sultry and seductive to sweet and meaningful. A connection starting from sex into family and what it means to be loved.

Tristan Miles is officially at the top of my book boyfriend list along with Jonah from the Simple Wild.

Don't walk, RUN to this book

TL Swan- Queen Of The Swoon.

I absolutely LOVE TL Swan and her books, she has a way to hook you in from the very first page. And The Takeover did just that, Tristan & Claire’s story captivates you from the get go. I was reading this with a smile on my face, tears in my eyes and a high BP with the holy hotness that is Tristan Miles. This book has it all, laughter, passion, and emotion, all three makes the most perfect love story which is why TL Swan is the best at writing the perfect love story. She brings the swoon, the emotion, the off the charts sex scenes, and the perfect happily ever after, she brings it all.


If I could give this story more than five stars, I would. That’s just how amazing this book is ⭐️

You want to read this book, swear down! 💕💕

5 Heart-Throb Stars
Loved this book right from the start. Couldn’t put it down. The author did a wonderful job grabbing your attention at the beginning and not letting it go.
Can’t wait for another book in this series. Wonder which brother she will write about next.
Thanks Netgalley for the arc in exchange for my honest review.

I requested this book because I had read the first book in this series, The Stopover. I had mixed feelings about The Stopover because I felt the characters had a little too much back and forth (does he want me or doesn't he want me, etc.). In the end, the book was good so I decided to give The Takeover a try as well. I did not like The Takeover as much - it was DEFINITELY too much angst - the main couple "broke up" multiple times during a short time period only to get back together and proclaim their undying love for each other. And then brea up the next week just to start it all over again.

This is the story of Triston, the 2nd oldest Miles brother. We were introduced to a charismatic Tristan in the first book and he appeared to be the jovial playboy that everyone liked. In The Takeover, the book begins with Tristan meeting with Anderson Media to discuss a friendly takeover. The owner of Anderson Media did not want to sell - she is the widowed mom of three boys ranging from 9ish to 18. Her husband founded the company and died in a tragic accident five years prior. She feels she will be letting down her dead husband if she sells out.

I'm undecided if I will read books about the other brothers - I guess I will see how I feel when those books are released.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. The opinions stated above are mine without biases.

What an amazing story. All the feels. All the emotions. All the love and every single thing we hope for in a romance. Tristan Miles is the Takeover King but when it comes to Claire Anderson he has to work for it. But she doesn’t come alone. The story is good that you won’t want to put it down. Gahhh....it’s so perfect! I cried, I laughed and my heart fell in love with every character.

Highly recommended.

*I was provided an advanced copy of this book NetGally in exchange for my honest and voluntary review. All thoughts and opinions in this review are those of my own*

I had never read this author before, but plan to read more of her books. The characters are well developed and the author hooked me into the story on an emotional and comical level. There are some aspects of the story that are not based in real life, but this is a well-formed story. I think it ended too quickly though and was hoping for an Epilogue.

I loved the first book in this series and really looked forward to the second instalment. Both are standalone stories. This one is Claire and Tristan's story. It started off a little dry....Tristan wants Claire's company and she does not want to sell especially to someone like him, she is not a fan. Then circumstances bring them together at an out of town conference and my initial feeling changed and dry became explosive as in Oh MY GOD the chemistry was of the charts and the dialogue was hilarious, I loved both POVs and from then on the story just took off for me. Once they come home and go back to their respective lives, Claire is a single mom to 3 boys, and Tristan is a happily single man, they agree not to see each other. And that works well!!!! NOT!!! Again, fate intervenes and I never thought I would laugh so much but Tristan interactions with her sons are beyond funny,
There were a few moments where I think Tristan may have overstepped and I could understand where Claire was coming from and agree that he was being a bit heavy handed, not sure the story really had to add this conflict.....however it still is a very fun read. I hope the author goes into the future and writes books about those 3 boys.

Despite loving this author, I was a bit worried about this book, since I was in the minority and struggled with the first book. I need not have worried because this book is what I love about romance.

It started a little slow for me in regards to connecting with the characters but once I did, I was all in. I laughed out loud at the antics of the kids and Tristan. In fact, those kids and their budding relationship with Tristan saved this book, especially a certain scene with Harry that left me with teary eyes. I struggled with the back and forth with Claire, and occasionally with Tristan, but more so with Claire. She gave mixed signals expecting everything to be over but then expecting Tristan to read her mind and know what she was expecting. Towards the end, I understood her fears but it took a while to get there. Tristan had a few moments where I wanted to strangle him but good lord if this guy wasn't swoon-worthy.

Were there parts of the story that weren't plausible? Absolutely. However, this is romantic fiction. I wanted to get lost in a beautiful story and I did. I rooted for these characters, I was viscerally moved, and I found humor. There was something special in this connection, and I was left with a feeling that maybe the Universe and someone else had a hand in bringing these characters together. I even enjoyed seeing Jamison and Emily in this one. I cannot wait to see what is next. I am so glad that I didn't let my frustation from the first book stop me from continuing this series.

The Takeover is an absolutely great read , I have loved all this authors work but this one was exceptional.
Claire a widow of 5 years is desperately trying to keep on top of her late husbands business for her 3 boys to take over when they are adults, unfortunately it is proving to be a tough job, enter Tristan Miles, a CEO of a company that takes over failing businesses, in Claire’s mind he is an arrogant superior hatchet man and she wants nothing to do with his offer.
Fast forward six months and they are both at a conference in Europe where Tristan is one of the top speakers. The spark is there and the growth of their relationship is lovely, with dual POV Which really add to this story.
Back in the states Tristan wants to carry on this relationship but he has to get past her three boys, the humour here is off the charts, laugh out loud moments which I loved.
This book has everything that adds up to a beautiful satisfying read, great characters, love scenes that are off the scale for hotness, humour and a little heartbreak before the finale.
Some reviewers say they found Claire annoying, rubbish she’s a woman who has been through much and is trying her best, others have removed a star in their review because there wasn’t an epilogue, yes I would of loved one but I’ve a feeling we will hopefully here about this couple in the next of this series, two more brothers so I can’t wait for their books!
My thanks to net galley and publisher for the opportunity to review this book honestly.

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

Can't wait to read her next book from this series.

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.

The first book in "The Miles High Club" series was simply fantastic, so when I saw "The Takeover", I knew I had to read it. The second book is a bit different from the first one in a good way. I loved it so much.

This is a steamy, enemy-to-lover romance with witty characters. I laughed out loud so many times. The author really nailed the characters (and even the cat). Tristan is arrogant and unapologetic when he pursues what he wants, but he is also very funny and sweet. Claire is tortured with grief and struggles to move on. She is also fierce and equally funny. Her kids made me laugh out loud. They all have their own personality and struggles. They also melt my heart.

The banter between the two main characters was definitely worth the read. The chemistry is off-the-charts. I very much enjoyed the fact that the story kept surprising me. It never took the obvious turns and that was very refreshing. Despite being so different, the romance worked and felt genuine. All couples have to compromise on some levels without losing their essence, and I felt that this story conveyed this notion perfectly.

I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. I highly recommend this book. It can be read as a standalone, but you should definitely read Emily and Jameson’s story. I absolutely adored this one too.

I'm not quite sure what I think of this book. I had a bit of trouble getting through the beginning as I did not like our main characters at all. I loved the first book so when this one came by on Netgalley I didn't have to think about it at all, I immediately clicked on it. This one was definitely not as good as the first.

Writing style: There was A LOT of telling instead of showing and the 'he said, she said' was annoying as hell. It did become better as I read on, but I definitely considered putting the book down a couple of times in the beginning.

Characters: Tristan was a bit problematic and throughout the book he felt a bit odd to me. He was a bit possessive and easy to anger. I would dare say it could be a trigger to anyone coming out of an abusive relationship. And Tristan is supposed to be a good guy, a knight in shining armor...
Claire was such a flat character. She's one of the main characters and had no substance to her whatsoever. He emotions didn't make much sense to me.
Claire's kids were so weird... They were problematic as hell. Spoiled brats more like. Claire didn't seem like the kind of mother who would ever tell them they did anything wrong and it showed. The oldest two were absolutely horrible and not in a fun way. I'm still furious at them. Patrick was kinda cute but he's nine so of course he is.

Story: The story itself is adorable and cute and well thought through and pretty much the only reason I am able to give this book 2,5 stars. It would have gotten 1,5 maybe 2 stars if the story hadn't been so great.

I don't hate this book, but I also don't love it. Will I be reading another book in this series if we get one? Yes, absolutely.

My overwhelming thought after finishing The Takeover is I must read more books by T. L Swan, as this was a fantastic story, and I was utterly enthralled throughout.

As not only was it hot, but it was real and at times raw and sad. Yet also extremely amusing and sweet and the characters really got to me. Especially Tristan who falls hard not only for widow Claire, but her three children, Fletcher, Harry and Patrick.

Yet, Tristan soon finds falling for a woman whose widowed and has three kids isn't all plain sailing or anything like he imagined, particularly when they turn out to be nothing like he imagined. And when Claire despite her declarations starts to find it harder and harder to let go of her late husbands memory things become even more difficult. And even though Claire's actions and comments at times frustrated me. I understood where she was coming from and for me it just made the whole story more enjoyable and realistic. Plus, it made me so much happier when fate sneakily intervened and gave Tristan, Claire and her boys the happy ending and second chance they truly deserved.

Would definitely recommend.

I absolutely loved this one. I have been struggling with contemporary romance lately. My mind unable to stay focused. This one had me hooked.

Dual POV and I have to say Tristan’s chapters had me smiling a lot. Claire is a great heroine. Widowed with three boys she’s hanging on by a thread. I enjoyed their banter, the chemistry and the friendship he builds with the sons.

There’s a few heart breaking moments and I have to say I am intrigued to get stories for the other brothers now. Definitely recommend.

I was already a massive fan of T L Swan before reading this book as I have read many of her other books, but after reading this I love her even more!

I just couldn’t put this book down and read it in a day. The story line is gripping and keeps you hooked instantly! This book would make a great film! The characters are all so brilliantly described that you sympathise with them all in their own way. I absolutely loved this book!

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

T. L. Swan is a new to me author, but her name sounded familiar so I checked my Calibre library and realized I had bought the first book of this series, The Stopover, but hadn't read it yet. So I read that one first and gave it a 4.5 stars.

The Takeover is book 2 in The Miles High Club and I feel it can easily be read as a stand alone if you like. The main story line deals with the enemies to lovers story of Tristan Miles and Claire Anderson.

Tristan is a member of the powerful family who own Miles Media, a huge media conglomerate. Claire is a widow with three sons. She's trying to keep afloat the media business her late husband built and it's not going well. Tristan wants to buy her out, which infuriates her—this is her son's legacy, no way she's selling it to this conceited rich boy—and she basically tells him to stick his offer where the sun don't shine.

The story follows the ups and downs of their interactions and eventually their relationship. Tristan's dealings with Claire's children is at times laugh out loud funny, and at others so poignant it brought tears to my eyes.

I thoroughly enjoyed the story and would give it 4.5 stars (at least I would if they'd let us rate on a sliding scale—lol). I honestly would have given it 5 stars except for a few things that led to the -.5 star. but don't want print any spoilers here. I would recommend The Takeover to romance lovers, especially those that have a soft spot for enemies to lovers stories.

Oh my gosh!!! This has been one of the most entertaining books I’ve read in ages!!! I absolutely loved everything about this and I hated to see it end.


I totally related with Claire as I have walked a mile in her shoes. Watching her evolve throughout the story was wonderful and amazing. I loved that she was able to let go when needed despite the struggles she had. She was an independent heroine who was fiercely protective of her children and my heart was completely wrapped up in her and her situation.


Tristan was everything I love in a hero! He was protective with a touch of possessiveness but more than anything I loved that he chased after Claire. He remained true to his character and in the process he gained Claire’s heart.


Together, this couple ran me through a gauntlet of emotions. For the good part of the book I smiled as they connected with humor in situations not usually found in romance. However, I was rolling with laughter as Tristan meets and begins to deal with Claire’s boys. These scenes alone are worth reading this book for. But when the drama picks up and real conflict arises, I found myself sobbing as both of them were dealing with hurt and pain.


This is a lengthier book that I never skimmed or grew bored with. I actually read it in one day and was still hungering for more at the end. The steam level is absolutely off the charts but was never repetitive during the smexy times. I can’t recommend this book enough and I wish I could give it 10 stars as it deserves them all!

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!

I like it but it’s not my favourite by T L Swam. it was not that interesting to read.
So I will give it two stars out of 5

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.

He was powerful, arrogant, and infuriatingly gorgeous, and I hated him with every cell in my body. When I started reading I couldn't put it down.T L Swan is magnifysent and amazing writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this books.Can't wait for the next book.

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.

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.

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!

This book went beyond my expectations! I have been waiting for TL Swan to release this and it sis not disappoint. I liked Tristian in the Stopover but fell.in love with him in The Takeover. Claire was the perfect character to take Tristian on.
The book told their incredible love.story and left.you feeling all.their emotions. I was laughing and crying along with the characters. I can't wait for the next one in this series. I will be definitely.choosing this book for my book clubs in th fall. Thank you T L Swan dor another incredible read!

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 ❤️💕

I absolutely love this series. As much as I enjoyed the first book, I think this one just surpasses it! The kids in this story kept me in stitches! Omg, couldn't stop laughing. Now bring on Elliot's story!!!💜
