I am really mad. I loved Tristan but I did not like his story. Tristan is such a beautiful character but somehow I just did not like Claire that much. Maybe it is because I just can’t understand how she would feel because of her children. But also I am wondering if anyone ever proofread this book before it was published because it is insane how much Claire „giggles“. I don’t think I can read a book again in which the main character giggles. This word makes me so mad. In the end I did think that Tristan’s demand for the children was unreasonable but the rest I really thought was okay. Claire was usually the one with problems and I did feel sorry for her but I just thought how she acted was kind of annoying.
DNFing books that make me roll my eyes more than five times. The first book dragged on for so long, and this book is starting to go in circles too. Their week together was cute but I'm not staying around for them to fight and make up over and over again like Jameson and whoever the FMC was in his book.

Read the first one in this series and wasn’t really fussed. Listened to the audiobook of this one and I am officially obsessed.
It’s performed so well and gave the characters such life (especially Claire’s son’s who had me cracking up). A sweet and funny yet very steeeeamy romance. It surprised me to say the least. I’d definitely recommend you pick it up!

The Takeover: ★ ★ ★ ★ . 5

“You and the boys . . . are saving me. Not the other way around.”
After a heated business offer gone wrong with Tristan Miles, Claire Anderson wants absolutely nothing to do with him until six months later, one week at a conference and one weekend in Paris and just one more time turn into so much more.
Tropes:
– Enemies to friends-with-benefits to lovers
– Single, widowed, older mom
– Workplace-ish romance (he wanted to buy out her company)
– "Just one time to get it out of our systems."
Listen, if you're surprised that this is my final read of the year, believe me. I am too. I saw a quote this morning and literally just couldn't not pick it up and then the next thing I knew, I was done. This book was so easy to fly through, despite how long it is (not very long but I didn't expect to be done so quickly either).
I ate this up. It was so unbelievably good. Tristan's literally my kind of guy–good looking, rich, cocky in every single way, but has an absolute heart of gold underneath. He's a soft sweetheart and the way he makes Claire feel is just incredible. He's persistent, despite all her attempts to push him away and will not let her give up on them before she's even given them a shot. It's just so sweet how absolutely gone he was for her from the start. He's truly the dream man–hot, possessive, witty, charming, attentive, and just overall perfect. Also he's a billionaire so like, extra points.
The absolute highlight of this book though? Tristan and the kids. Oh. My. God. Tristan and Tricky–made my heart melt. Tristan and Fletch–literally precious. But Tristan and Wiz–EVERYTHING. I am seriously telling you, this man was perfect. He was what the boys deserved and the way he talked about them, the way he grew to love them, the way he'd do anything to make them happy and the way they just became his was... wow. Just wow. Not to mention, the things the kids would do for him? Oh, how the turn tables. So touching, so heartwarming. If this book was just about Tristan and the kids, it would be 5+ stars.
Sometimes the dead partner is not done well because the person usually puts them down or there's a constant comparison but this one was not like that, which I really appreciated. It struck a good tone of being able to appreciate Wade but also make so much room for Tristan without being dismissive. Claire was a little immature for me and she got on my nerves so bad around the "conflict" of this book. I was literally staring at the words coming out of her mouth like, "Be so for real." I was honestly glad that Tristan walked out saying "I will not be anyone's substitute" because yes king, know your worth.
Anyway, as I mentioned above, Tristan is perfect. Actually perfect. I love him so much. And his relationship with the boys made this such an amazing read. I loved it endlessly!

I have found my new book boyfriend, everyone. Tristan Miles can have whatever he wants from me. Until the bed breaks and the floors crumble beneath us. He had my legs shaking.
I love the way he loves Clare and the boys. He's funny and seeing him interact with the boys was chef's kiss. I was almost crying in the last couple chapters. I said I would take this review down for the third act breakup but I fell in love with Tristan in the last book so that really saved this one. I was not ready to part with him.

It’s just pitiful that I let these covers stop me from reading these books. I do t normally like books with kids in them. I have kids irl. That’s usually enough
