Description

In T L Swan’s steamy third installment of the Miles High Club, Kate’s hot new pen pal is a welcome distraction from her horrible boss. But nobody is as distracting as Elliot Miles…and he knows it.

My favorite hobby is infuriating Elliot Miles. Just the sight of my boss’s handsome face triggers my sarcasm. God knows how he earns his Casanova reputation—if a million women want him with his personality, what the heck am I doing wrong?

Disgusted with my love life, I join a dating app under a fake name. I start chatting to a man named Edgar. He’s not my type and lives on the other side of the world, but we hit off a friendship, laugh and confide in each other.

But lately things are getting weird at work. Elliot’s being…attentive. His eyes linger a little longer than they should, and there’s a heat behind them that I haven’t felt before. And then, in the shock of all shocks, he tells me that my vulnerability is appealing. But when was I vulnerable?

Horror dawns…Has my boss been reading my emails to Edgar?

Damn it, why did I use my work email?

Oh no, does he know what I really think of him? I’d rather die than ever admit it.

Or, even worse: is it possible that the man I loathe in real life is the man I’m falling for online?

As a long time fan of T L Swan books and this series specifically, I had extremely high expectations for this book and it did not disappoint! This book was everything you need in a romance with swoony men, super steamy scenes, hilarious moments and some drama.

I wasn’t sure what to think of the fact that they were talking online and one of them didn’t know as I thought that would be what the drama was going to be in their relationship but I was thrown completely off! I didn’t see what happened coming and that’s one of my favourite things about T L Swans writing.

I really loved Elliot and Kate’s relationship, they truly did not get along in the beginning and I loved how it came out of nowhere. The way Elliot was with Kate was so swoony. And let’s take a moment to talk about the hilarious moments with the animals, I was laughing out loud!

Overall, this was one of my favourite reads of the year and I highly recommend! If you’ve read the previous two books, you’ll love the appearances the brothers and their families make! Even Spencer, Sebastian and Julian make a cameo!

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

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!!

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

My love for Tristian Miles is widely known by my community and friends. Also my level of fangirling for TL Swan is very high, so I have been eagerly awaiting ARCs for this book for ages. The Takeover was my favorite read of 2020. So anticipation was high.

One of my absolute favorite things about reading a TL Swan book is the callbacks and cameos of other characters. All her books connect or take place in the same world and that makes being a dedicated fan very rewarding.

I was very intrigued to read about Elliot, who we know has a not so secret obsession with a certain artist in a previous book. So I was not expecting his love interest to be Kate, one of his employees and the bane of his existence.

Kate is trying to come out of a funk after some personal loss in her past and her boss is just always on her case. They get off on the wrong foot from day one, and now, years into their acquaintance that have this aversion to each other that is a bit out of control.

One day Elliot observes Kate over the security cameras dancing at the copier and he starts to look at her in a new way. And when Kate goes through a health issue at work, it puts them in even closer proximity together and Elliot just can't stay away from her.

This was another great entry to the series and in the interest of keeping this spoiler free I won't say much more. But I was pulled into their romance and I loved how they navigated everything.

There was a decision that Elliot made that almost lost me for good. No joke, but his grovel was pretty epic and some of the reveals at the end made up for it. They may have been a BIT too convenient but it is a romance after all.

5/5 stars.

P.S. Tristian is till my favorite Miles brother and Jameson is still a dick.

Edgar and Elliot... so different but both so much in my life....

I haven't read any of this author's books before so this was a happy surprise. The book is funny, steamy and romantic. It's a stand alone so I was able to follow it even though it did mention the rest of Elliot's family. A fun way to spend the time.

Thanks to the publisher for providing an arc.

This was honestly the best book in the series. I started reading it this morning and didn't stop until I finished it.

My favourite thing about these books will always be the humour. TL Swan has such great comedic timing and some scenes had me almost in tears with how much I was laughing.

My one problem with this book is that although I loved both Elliot and Kate I was rooting for her to leave him. I still am actually. I can write a ten-page essay on why she should have never forgiven him.

*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!

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.

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."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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.

The Casanova by T L Swan

You really aren’t ready for this…

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

100% one of the best reads of the year.

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

⭐⭐⭐⭐.5/5

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Elliot & Kathryn (aka Kate)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

4.5 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐

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

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

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

Just amazing. I have loved spending my time getting to know the Miles brothers and the women who have tamed their wild ways.

Elliot "Casanova" Miles and Kate Landon have one hot love affair. The twist at the end was amazing. I did not see that ending coming.

I am looking forward to Christopher's book!

As has been my custom I picked up the THIRD book in the Miles High Series but thankfully this can be read as a standalone. It has references to previous characters who are the brothers of the main characters, but reading them out of order is unlikely to ruin the outcomes given the nature of romance reads.

Elliot Miles is the CEO of Miles Media. He's a rich media tycoon, broody, quiet and fiercely protective of his privacy. He's demanding, moody and unapologetic. His reputation as a philandering womaniser proceeds him. He catches a glimpse of a woman in a security camera, not recognising it is his IT Manager Kathryn (Kate) Langford. Elliot and Kathryn have had a loathe-hate relationship for seven years - in as much as Kathryn refuses to bow down to Elliot's caustic nature and unrelenting demands. She's ballsy, intelligent and fierce after regaining her strength following two significant losses in her life. After some backwards and forwards the pair acknowledge their attraction - it's a secret, intense, and they both know it is time-limited.

The primary plotline of the Casanova is the illusiveness of a relationship. Kate finds herself falling for Elliot whilst he is searching for something that seems out of his reach. Additional plot lines include fictional interactions between the characters on an online dating site and Elliot's obsession with a female artist whose paintings he has been procuring. Kate is unsure she can trust Elliot and does not intend to be his second choice.

This book is packed with banter, chemistry between this pair that is off the charts, steam galore, emotional closeness and tenderness, familial relationships, and themes of loss and grief. There's also exploration of endometriosis for the main character Kate. There were loads of laughs between Elliot and Kate, Kate and her friends, and Elliot and his brothers which gave dimension to the story. Both Elliot and Kate are searching for their happily ever afters on their own terms - the question is weather they can achieve it together.

The Casanova is the first TL Swan book I have read. A huge thumbs up as I was unaware the author lives in Sydney and love supporting Australian authors. Thank you to Netgalley for an ARC of this book to read and review. It's out on 26/8/2021.

The thing that I love most about TL Swan’s books, they’re like amazing chocolates that you want to eat slowly, then you can’t help, but finish them all in one sitting!
Her latest book, The Casanova does it again! I love seeing the Miles family again - Elliot is the 3rd brother!is like his brothers and finds romance, balanced with the attempts to keep their personal lives, out of the public eye. It’s set in London, as opposed to the other in NYC and this plot uses a dating site and even a final outcome that I never saw coming!
There’s even a brief cameo of the of Jillian, Spencer and Sebastian from the Mr. series.

I’ve read & loved all of TL Swan’s books- The Casanova can be read as stand alone, but If you haven’t them, The Stopover and The Takeover definitely worth reading as well!

I loved Kate & Elliot’s story beyond words. Even days later after finishing, I am having trouble moving on to a new book.

The banter between Kate & Elliot was everything! I loved how Kate wouldn’t back down & challenged Elliot. It was great watching Elliot open up. I loved that there were moments of laughter and moments that brought me to tears.

I will definitely be re-reading this book over and over again! I absolutely adore this series and I can’t wait for Christopher’s book!

I voluntarily reviewed this book.

Thank you to Amazon Publishing UK and Netgalley for the ARC e-book copy for an honest review. I enjoyed this book immensely! This was the first book I've read from T.L. Swan, but I want to read more!

I love a good enemies-to-lovers trope, so this was right up my alley. I also loved the banter between Edgar and Pinkie. lol.

I will say I thought the story was a tad too long. I also thought the back and forth of are they together, but they aren't really together, but yes, they are together dragged on for longer than necessary.

However, I loved the London and New York setting. I laughed out loud several times. I also shed a few tears at the loneliness Kate experienced. I also LOVED that Elliott believed in destiny and that THE person for you is out there, somewhere. It's not often we get that from a male character, especially in a romance story.

I will definitely go back and read the other books in the Miles High Club series.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Elliot Miles did not disappoint.

Another office romance with huge enemies to lover vibes. I was head over heels in love.

Ever since The Takeover I've been craving the Miles brothers again. Elliot is the perfect mix between Jameson and Tristan, hot head with a boyish charm and a massive disadvantage when it comes to being one with nature. You'll know what I mean when you meet the farm yard of animals he gets left with.

Elliot is a massive believer in fate and fate has a funny way of working. It definitely taught him a lesson and it was brutal because my heart broke for Kate. Kate wasn't the heroine I thought I would be seeing Elliot with when The Casanova started but she is absolutely perfect for him. On. Every. Level.

Except Kate has a cow of a sister and I have no idea how they came from the same parents.

There's a moment where all the dots connect and my emotions went haywire. I still have no idea how I feel. I just feel empty. Elliot and Kate have done that to me. T L Swan has done this to me again!

I could honestly do a reread already and I only finished the book 8 hours ago. After the line Christopher made I am so intrigued to see where his book goes.

Mind Officially Blown!
The Casanova is the most amazing story. It is riveting, very steamy, highly entertaining and incredibly enjoyable! One of my favourite reads of 2021.
This book is that good! I experienced so many emotions whilst reading that coming to terms with how well written this book was, just blows my mind.
Elliott Miles is the elusive fictional character that had so many faces, however he was also the most amazing family man. A romantic, believes in fate and the way things happened just made me feel. Everything the characters feel. I loved every moment!
I laughed so hard in parts, felt the sizzling chemistry between him and Kathryn that I wondered how things would pan out for them. I was rooting for them so hard. I wanted them to have the hea they both desperately needed. Can Casanova Miles be tamed? Is love in the air or are things destined to fall apart.
An absolute must read. I highly recommend you read it for yourself and make your own mind up at how truly hooked you will become. Kudos to the author for writing such a beautiful story!
