The Takeover by T.L. Swan
5.0

Two strong willed people fall hard

I didn't think that TL could top Jamison and Emily's story, but Tristan and Claire's was even more heartfelt.
Tristan is the King of takeovers for Miles Media and intended to takeover Claire's company Anderson Media. She refused to sell to him because her husband started the company and she wanted to keep it so that she could pass it on to her children. But she couldn't deny that there wasn't an undercurrent between them.
I loved how hard she worked to hold on to the company and raise her three children after the sudden unexpected death of her husband. It took her Friend and PA Marley to convince her to attend a conference, get a new perspective on business and life. That she needed the time away for herself, to maybe find who she is now without her husband, that it was time to move forward. It was great insight on her assistants part.
It was funny when the first speaker at the conference happened to be Tristan and Claire went to leave he called her out. Too funny! After that I liked that she decided to let herself enjoy herself, let herself go.
Tristan was quite the flirt and knew what he wanted. Although I think he got more than he bargained for or expected.
This book had so many feels in it. Your emotions ran the gauntlet from sadness, to happiness, crying and just up and laughing out loud. I really enjoyed reading Tristan and Claire's story.
