The Takeover by T.L. Swan
3.0

The story is overall good. The writing in this book makes it so engaging to read that literally you can't put the book down. However, there are some things that didn't really satisfy my experience. The whole romance thing in this book was oddly paced. It was so fast in way that when something tragic happened, suddenly in just a snap of a finger they're in bed doing the deed. Like do you know what i meaan?? Yeah, it was oddly paced and I wanted the juicy feelings, angst, and emotions described and felt. But I didn't really get to experience that.

The book started off really low to me. I believe it was a 2/5 lmao. But as I progressively went with the story, it went from a 2 to a 3. The reason to that is that, even though the romance and the progression of the love story was more of a "meh", the interactions, the dialogue, the personality, and just the way the characters of the story conversed with each other, made the book 10x better. The comedy and the rom-com-ish vibes that I got was immaculate. The way Tristan was having intercations to Claire's kids was cute and all. **Although sometimes him 'hating' kids made it a red flag especially on the first time they met. bro was mortified by those kids** BUT LIKE LETS BE HONEST TRISTAN IS A RED FLAG. CLAIRE IS A RED FLAG. BOTH OF THEM ARE RED FLAGS

All Tristan wanted was to bed Claire since day one and I was so icked by that!! I don't know. That whole "sit down" thing wasn't cute to me. That made me feel the ick instead. LIKEEE WHAT WAS THAT BRO. The way he was acting whith Wizard was weird too. A grown ass man arguing with a little kid? But the ending made it up. Its fine, we all good now.

BUT CLAIREEE THO. The whole "you will never be wade" and the "my kids will never be your kids" was a whole bullshit. She went to go win him back and all she could say was I love you. As if that would fix it that easily girlie!! Sorry this book really got me carried away and I was so annoyed by that.

So to sum this up, the love story is a boo. But Claire's children are a 10/10 and they stole the scenes. They out-shined everything in the story. Tristan's brothers and the two other guys too omg- i cannot. So yeah anyway, that's all. I really did enjoy reading this book! I would highly recommend it to someone and for them to give it a try
