5 stars!!
I loved The Stopover, but this book is even better!!! Definitively my favourite.
Tristan Miles! I think I am in love ;)

This book had me laughing out loud - especially the 'meet the kids' part. I had tears from laughing so hard!
The book is filled with laughter, feel-good vibes, warmth, romance and so much more.
Can't wait to read the rest of this series.
T.L Swan - you are a genius!! Love your work.

Loved!!

I loved this book!!! This book gave me all the feels and had me literally cracking up. Well done and highly recommend!

The romance and steamy enemies to lovers was great, but there was a lot about this book that I hated. The whole first encounter with Claire’s children was actually painful to read and I almost called it a day then and there. It was just so cringe and I was so uncomfortable. The ending definitely made up for all of that and the relationship between all the characters by the end was great but yikes we had to work for it.

This book took me a minute to get into it, but once I did, I loved it. I loved Tristan in the Stopover and was excited to read his story on finding his HEA! Parts of this story had me laughing out loud, I enjoyed that Claire was older and had her own family, the boys were a great addition and dynamic! I also enjoyed that we got to have a bit more interaction with the other two Miles brothers!

3.5 stars - started reading, finished with audio. I enjoyed this storyline over The Stopover. Tristan was a lot of fun. I still feel like there were some plot holes left open that annoyed me but overall it was enjoyable.

While I did not think it was as scandalously spicy as people were making it out to be I enjoyed it far more than I expected I would

DNF at 13%. The writing is terrible, the characters’ personalities suck. Why does Claire even hate Tristan so much when they’ve only met once? She is a bitch for no good reason and it is annoying AF. I don’t get how this book is so liked by that many people.

4⭐️

I listened to this on audiobook, and I really enjoyed it! It’s the first single parent book I’ve read, and I found myself actually enjoying it and the kids :) also Tristan Miles
lighthearted medium-paced

The Takeover: ★ ★ ★ ★ . 5

T. L. Swan (Miles High Club #2)

“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!
