First half was amazing, the second half felt like a drag. I dont understand why Emily didnt just tell James the truth about the meeting, she has no problem speaking her mind until that moment. COMMUNICATION IS KEY!!!!! UGH! 

Started off strong but then went downhill around 35% and didn’t redeem itself until the end. Tons of miscommunication and a lot of gaslighting. I feel like a lot of the sentences were copied and pasted throughout the book. I won’t be reading the other books in the series

Let me just start by saying: if you’ve ever wondered what it would be like if a steamy corporate power struggle and a rom-com had a lovechild, The Takeover is that adorable, snarky baby.

T.L. Swain delivers a delightful punch of sass, strategy, and swoon in this office romance that makes you both root for the merger… and pray HR doesn’t find out. Our heroine? A whip-smart, coffee-fueled queen who can slay a boardroom presentation and your self-esteem in one breath. Our hero? All sharp suits, slow smiles, and “I’m not your boss but I could ruin your life or your lipstick—your choice” energy.

The tension is hotter than a malfunctioning copier in August, and the banter? Sharper than a stapler to the ankle. I laughed, I blushed, I may have fist-pumped in public. This book made me want to dust off my resume just in case there’s an opening at whatever fictional firm this is.

In conclusion, The Takeover is corporate warfare, romance, and comedic chaos all rolled into one high-heeled, briefcase-wielding package. Highly recommend for anyone who likes their love stories with spreadsheets, sabotage, and a side of sass. I loved the HEA.
