T.L. Swan is the bestselling author of the Miles High series and has a degree in psychology. She is based in Austria and is known for her erotic romance novels.
When Emily Forster was upgraded to first class on a flight from London to New York after an incident with a drunk man, she met Jim. He is sitting right beside her, unknowing that Jim is exactly Jameson Miles, the CEO of a significant new company called Miles. Media in New York. After hours of drinking Champaign, talking about all the world and his wives and even watching Magic Mike XXL. The pair decide to hit it off by shagging at a stopover in Boston. After 12 months, they meet again, but this time under different circumstances: He is now Emily's boss. She has been given an enormous opportunity to move out of California to live in New York and work t Miles Media. Will they brush their one night stand under the rug to work professionally from now on, or will they continue where they left off?
The tropes of this book are pretty straightforward. It is an erotic romance novel with a hot CEO as the love interest. At the same time, Emily is a bright and aggressive young woman coming from an average middle-class family. Jim is quite the opposite. He comes from old money, has four brothers, and grew up in the heart of New York. The novel is about the difficulty of physical attraction in A workspace and the concept of friends with benefits.
Sadly, the theme of this book was relatively flat. However, Emily and Jim had significant interactions and moments with each other. They were just after another page wholly shattered, and they would begin to fight. I think the novel could have been a little bit short since all the ups and downs were a bit boring after a time. Moreover, I have to say the story is a bit unrealistic since why would a billionaire like Miles go for a middle-class woman after shagging her once. But that is my main problem with romance books, and I am sure it will be a recurring theme.
Moreover, I had a few issues with the characters of this book. Sadly, Jim and Emily always fight over nothing, have three-year-olds, and always fight about the same dull things. Furthermore, was the depiction of Aaron, Emily's coworker, a gay stereotype which I do not think was necessary to the storyline. Besides the main characters, most characters did not have a fleshed character.
Overall I did enjoy this book, and I am sure that I will read more erotica in the future. This has been my first royal erotica read, and I was glad that it had some storyline and not just sex scenes. However, I think some of the characters are a bit flat and that the book could have been shortened.

This wasn’t a terrible story but definitely could have been executed better. There were definitely moments that pulled me from the story and made me want to put it aside. However, there were also some moments I found myself laughing or even relating to the characters that helped me push through. Maybe one day I’ll revisit the series…

I can absolutely see why Booktok is obsessed! The was the best written romance novel I’ve ever read, it has the character development that I’ve never seen before in romance novel the kind normally found in a 6 book YA series. Take it with a grain of salt because I’m sleep deprived but I have never cry/laughed this much whilst reading. I had to stop and collect myself multiple times during the camping scene. Take it will a grain of salt because I’m severely sleep deprived but, this is by far the most I have ever laughed whilst reading. I’m talking my jaw is saw from laughing and then trying to control it so I could keep reading. The only downfall was the ending it felt unnecessary to go there I didn’t enjoy that he broke her heart yet again and was a complete dick. Just undermined his character so much in my eyes. This will definitely be a book I reread again and again but I’ll probably stop reading just before the whole kissing thing and then skip to the epilogue.

Spicy and enjoyable.
There were a couple moments where it dragged a bit. I found myself frustrated multiple times because of the characters lack of communication. I would still recommend it to other people though.
