I loved this book!!!!! From the first scene in the airport to the last page. Jameson and Emily have such a strong connection, wonderful chemistry and a ton of fun ( the camping scene LOL) I can't wait for more.

This is my first book by T.L. Swan and definitely not my last. Emily and Jameson have a chance meeting on a flight and their chemistry is undeniable. The stopover leads to an unforgettable night and then the pair part ways. A year later, their paths cross again and the attraction is still as intense. The story took a few twists and turns and the seamless writing leaves you wanting more. The flow of the story is well done, the love is heartfelt and at times,heartbreaking, and the happily ever after was well done.

If you want a very easy read with a lot of descriptive, passionate sex this is for you!
The story starts off okay with a young woman being upgraded to the first class cabin on her flight home to New York and meeting this gorgeous sexy man. Due to bad weather the plane is redirected and the passengers are forced to have a stopover - these two protagonists have a lusty night of passion and fun imagining they will never meet again.
Yes, you guessed, they do and their story begins. There are too many unrealistic coincidences for me and boring repetition of cringey cliches: '"His face is so damn kissable it hurts" and his "Piercing blue eyes" are mentioned in virtually every chapter. In the background there is a smidge of a mystery but the main story focuses on the dialogue of the two protagonists, their constant changes of heart and the two of them arguing, where nothing much happens. "I've never met anyone quite like you", and "Well...poof to him!"
Emily is not really that amazing but is an attractive, independent, young woman who stands up to Jay, a bad tempered, privileged, power obsessed bully who wants everything his way. Many of the other characters are unrealistic too - that idiot Jake brought in as a Corporate Spy - could they really not have found somebody more professional?
Sorry but for me it lacks a good plot and realistic, admirable characters and is just not my type of book I'm afraid. However, if it's your genre then give it a go and enjoy!
Thank to NetGalley for allowing me read and review.

The Stopover by T L Swan...well lets start with WOW!! This quickly became some of my favorite books! The writing was flawless, story development was absolutely perfect! I literally loved every second of this book.

The story is about Emily and Jameson's relationship. The up and down's and the twists that kept me turning the pages. I loved that it was a different topic and plot, I can say I never read anything like it before(and I have read ALOT of books in my day).

LOVE IT!! MUST READ!!!

ARC was provided by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

What a delicious book. I found this book in the 'read now' section on Netgalley and I thought it sounded cute and decided to download it. I waited a little while with reading it because I was reading other things, but after finishing a horrible romance book I just knew I had to pick up this book. Boy, am I glad I did.

Writing style: I can't really put into words why I like the style so much, but I do. Everything is so tastefully written and keeps me wanting more.

Characters: The characters are all great. They're full with clear personalities, charm and superbly written detailed descriptions of their varied physiques. I can't help but love all of them.

Story: The story itself is your avarage romance novel, but with the great characters and tasteful writing it doesn't feel like just another romance book.

Relationship: The author really knows how to put a dynamic relationship on a page. Yes, they list after each other immediately, fuck like rabbits and fall in love fairly quickly... BUT they also have fights, Emily doesn't let Jameson tell her what to do and who to be, they have a real relationship not a fairytale one.

This book is a great contemporary romance novel and I'll definitely recommend it to people who want a tasteful read with a good amount of smut 😏 The Stopover gets 4 stars from me. One for every Miles brother 😉

This book is one of my favorites that I read this year. It’s so good and it’s never slow which I LOVE THE MOST. You get to know the characters and you end up wanting even more.

When I first started reading this book I thought it wasn't going to be for me. We had arrogant and cocky Jameson and we had Emily who was just a snarky brat through the first third of the book. After that though she changed, the real her came out and she got over it and was a character who I ended up enjoying. I think the thing I think I enjoyed the most is the fact that she didn't just take Jameson back the first time he came around and she made him grovel and fight for her. This was a great story that sucked me in and didn't let me go until I finished.

When Emily has a one-night stand with handsome, blue-eyed Jim, whom she met in a first class flight from London, neither of them can forget the chemistry they had. A year later, Emily finally lands her dream job at Miles Media, only to discover that the CEO is none other than her hookup. The two develop a relationship, but can it stand the test of secrets, lies, and their own mistakes?

I struggled with this book. The "hero" was anything but heroic; he was demanding, selfish, and verbally abusive. He treats the heroine horribly and then tries to claim that he was motivated by altruism. The heroine is both too prickly and too doormat. She bristled at all the little things and allowed herself to be taken advantage of with all the big things. There was very little romantic about this book--more of a textbook on what kind of relationship to avoid.

This is the second book I’ve read by TL Swan, and boy oh boy does she know how to write an alpha male. I really enjoyed Emily’s feistiness, she stood her ground and was able to put Jameson in his place. I found Jameson both alluring and maddening, similar to how Emily felt about him.

In the end the two likely would have benefited greatly from sitting down and talking to down another. Their relationship ups and downs were a lot, and I probably would have given up long before they did. But when it was finally all flushed out it made a certain sort of sense. The story itself was good and I did enjoy the added mystery, it made for a great subplot to the story.

Overall this book was an enjoyable read, with a wonderfully written alpha male and good amount of steamy scenes.

Emily meets Jim when her flight is upgraded to first class. She can't believe this gorgeous older man is interested in her. The two end up having a one night stand after plane problems cause a stopover. A year later, Emily lands her dream job at a media company. The boss happens to be her hookup, Jim. Oh boy these two were a mess with back and forth banter, craziness and drama. I loved reading just to find out how things would end up. Another winner for this author.

I received a copy of this book via Netgalley and am voluntarily leaving a review.

A truly gripping romance story that i could not put down. This book meant a lot to me as it also helped pull me out of a serious book funk, the writing and story flowed smoothly, the characters are engaging and the romance was off the scale- both hot but heartfelt at just the right points in the story. First in a new series i cannot wait to read more of, oh and i love the brooding man on the cover on the book it sums up the lead male really well.

Really enjoyed this story. Hot and steamy. I liked both characters of Emily and Jameson and enjoyed the mystery side storyline. Look forward to reading others in the series.

I spent a good amount of time reading this book completely frustrated with both the hero and the heroine. In the end, it made for a compelling story. A true opposites attract story. In no universe would these two ever make their way to each other. Jameson the staid, strong businessman and Emily, the bright, effervescent young lady with only one dream.....to work for Miles Media. A chance meeting in first class, a stopover and a night to remember is all these two can have. Fate has more in store for them though and what follows is pushing and pulling, yelling and shouting, loving and steam to the nth degree. Was the angst a bit much? Sure, but in the end, the mystery who done it and the connection these two mostly had throughout, made it worth the read and putting more of the authors books on my TBR list.

Roaringly amusing, a layover due to a storm was never like this!

Emily boards a plane going home and sits next to this gloriously handsome man named Jim. London to New York means they have hours to chat. Being in first class means the champagne never stops. Their amazing link and chemistry extends overnight into a one night stand they will never forget. Memories of that night would set them both on fire, even though, neither one knew the other's last name.

One year later, Emily is finally starting work at a firm she has dreamed of. As she is given a tour of the firm, you can imagine her surprise when she is introduced to the big boss - yep! It is Jim... or better yet Jameson Miles "king of media world". This may sound like a run of the mill plotline, but let me assure you, this plotline is totally different and full of realism. It is never a good idea to have an office romance. Getting involved with the big boss is not far from total madness! Do not miss how many ways Emily and Jim can come up with to further mess up their lives. It is all in the foundation: trust and honesty!!

I am voluntarily reviewing this book. Thanks to the author for sharing a copy with me.

Connecting for one night only Emily and the mysterious Jim hook up after a layover of there flight because of the bad weather.
12 months later and Emily is starting her new job at miles media where unbeknown to her, her new boss is none other than her night of passion Jameson Miles.
So this was a fun contemporary read with plenty of humour and heavy on the angst.
Jameson or Jay was dominant and bossy and a bit of an a-hole he was also a devil between the sheets.
Emily was passionate, focused and as much as she tried to fight it a pushover when it comes to Jay's natural charisma.
So I did like the back and forth banter between Jay and Emily but I wasn't always that keen on them, let's just say they both had their individual faults.
Jay could be a bit of an arrogant douche and seemed to have a split personality blowing hot and cold constantly throughout and Emily could be super argumentative and also seemed to have a huge chip on her shoulder when it came to Jameson's wealth.
Despite there flaws they both did start to grow on me it also helped that there chemistry together was seriously scorching.
Ultimately and despite some small issues, this was a hit for me an opposites attract, boss/employer rom-com of a read that I enjoyed and I am happy to recommend.
I voluntary reviewed a copy of The Stopover (The Miles High Club, #1).

The Stopover (The Miles High Club) - T. L. Swan
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Yes, that’s right, you’re seeing ten stars.
I’m making up my own scoring system because clearly, five stars just isn’t enough for this new story and series by T. L. Swan.

I had to leave writing my review till I’d had a solid 7 hours sleep because, Jameson Miles + Emily Foster definitely equates to a 3am reading session.

T. L. Swan has captured the absolute heart and soul of these characters and beautifully created their story with all the traits of a truly epic love story.

The passion and emotional turmoil Jay and Em go through is torturous, but in the very best way for a reader. Every single page kept me engrossed in this passionate and at times, volatile romance and every character, even the ones I didn’t like was pivotal to the story and brilliantly crafted by the dynamic writing of T. L. Swan.

So, without further gushing, which I could easily do, I recommend you seriously need to preorder this bad boy and get ready for a very long night of reading....... absolute brilliance and I can’t wait for Tristan’s story. Yes, there are 4 Miles Brothers. Yippee!!!!

I rated this book 4 stars because even though I wasn't as fussed on the second half, I really enjoyed the first part of the story. Jim (aka Jameson) and Emily are seated beside each other in first class after she's upgraded. There's definitely a spark between them and they spend most of the flight flirting and getting to know each other. After bad weather grounds their flight for the night, they decide to take it further and spend a night to remember together before parting ways in the morning. A year passes with Emily and Jameson thinking of their night of passion frequently until fate steps in and has Em finally landing her dream job at Miles Media where the CEO is, you guessed it, none other than Jim. Their relationship is pretty tumultuous with arguments happening just as often as the romance and I couldn't help but think what a HR nightmare that would be in real life. Here in fantasy land, it was no problemo.

Jameson finds it difficult to balance the two personas he wears: Jim, the funny, charming and relaxed guy when he was away from work and Jameson, the billionaire (naturally...) CEO of a media conglomerate who's known for being the opposite of Mr Niceguy. Emily finds it difficult to juggle her relationship with Jameson when he's ruthless and cold compared to the charismatic man she met on the plane. Add to that a competing media empire set on bringing Miles Media down, a possible traitor in their midst selling stories to the competitor and maintaining the boss/employee relationship and you have the main bits of the story.

I was really drawn in by the first half of the book. I thought the author did a great job of showing the two sides to Jameson and how he struggled with it himself. Emily gave as good as she got and the banter between them was witty, humorous and lively. I like that she had moved to New York to chase her career goals. I will warn other readers that Emily had been in a relationship for the first part of the book, but it was tied up pretty quickly and nothing dramatic happened between her and Jay in the meantime. He also had an ex that caused a tiny bit of drama as they were supposed to get back together. For those that like to know, there is a bit of an age gap between the main characters - I think it's a little over 10 years. It wasn't focussed on a lot which I was happy with. The secondary characters in the book were a great addition, especially the two friends Emily connects with at work.

Some of the sex scenes were off the chart hot. They were really well written with plenty of steam and intensity without being over the top and overtaking the story. Jameson was very jealous and possessive so those boxes are definitely ticked if that's your thing. His attention to Emily is borderline harassment. Delicious, delicious harassment, but harassment none-the-less. They argue with each other constantly, and I mean CONSTANTLY with big shouty capitals. More on this later. The dialogue was great. There was one scene where they went camping that was really entertaining, even if slightly unbelievable.

While I loved the first half of the book, the second section had a few problems for me. At times, there were some inconsistencies with the characters and Jameson in particular became almost unlikable for me in parts. At the start he was the typical bully-type character that's floating around everywhere at the moment which meant that sometimes he was a bit of a you-know-what. It was bearable so I could overlook that as well as that same old song you see in a stack of novels where the male lead is a player and used to women falling at his feet because of his money, looks, etc. In the second half of the story, he went from being a bit overbearing to full of jerkface territory, going out of his way to be cold and cruel. For him to behave like that and then be described as being incredibly selfless and sacrificing himself to protect Emily because he loved her so much? Nope and nope. This certainly didn't match where the plot had gone and seemed as though it was chucked in to excuse Jameson's deplorable behaviour. There was nowhere near as much grovelling from him as there should have been and even as he was trying to make amends throughout the book, he was still a douche canoe and trying to form a relationship because it suited him (while also being a borderline alcoholic, I'll add).

As for Emily, she goes from being feisty, independent and assertive (she was almost shrewish at times, as much as I hate using that word to describe women) to being an emotional mess that caved to Jameson and tried to make amends with him even though he was being horrid. At the start, he wanted her to submit and she wouldn't which made for a great battle but her feelings in the second half changed this and I felt it left her character lacking a bit compared to how strong she was. And seriously, there was so much crying from her at times that I'm pretty sure she was propping up Kleenex shares. The author tried to give us glimpses of Emily's strength as the book progressed, but to me it wasn't completely successful and I would have liked her to stick it to Jim a bit more unapologetically when he needed to hear it. That being said, it is a love story so I guess something had to give for their relationship to move on. Some bits in the book also didn't gel with Emily's character, e.g. being a reporter and having to be prompted to investigate a crime. Really?

As the plot and our couple's relationship moved along, I found the plot became a more lackluster compared to the dynamite that was the first half. I found myself thinking that things were becoming more and more ridiculous and without spoiling anything, the case that a main part of the plot revolved around ended up becoming almost nonexistent with a random direction and solution.

The other couple of things that had me taking a star off was the repetition and the massive amounts of back and forth. There were a few words and phrases the author favoured that were recycled throughout the book - I'm looking your way 'smirk' (my search told me 132 times! I don't recommend playing this as a shot game!), 'suction' kisses and 'slow and sexy smile'. As I mentioned above, Jameson and Emily were constantly fighting. As a result, a big chunk of the book was made up of them arguing, walking away from each other, looking like they were going to end it, feeling melancholy about how they relationship was going, pining for each other and then getting back together almost like nothing had happened for the whole thing to occur again. This especially bothered me with Jameson as he'd be a jerk and then act like it was all okay and wanted to see her again and when Emily would question this, he'd tell her not to be angry or basically tell her how to act or have a go at her for being angry or snappy. This made me a bit stabby as he started to come across as borderline abusive.

Some sections were from Jameson's point of view which I really enjoyed. His bits were put in bold and this grated on me a bit. I would have rathered normal text with just his name at the top, but no biggy. The book was a great length and entertaining, while mostly predictable. The writing was solid and while it seems as though I've hacked it to pieces above, it was entertaining and I really did enjoy the first half. I'd read this author again.

The Stopover from new to me author T.L. Swan, is an intriguing novel. The two main characters are refreshing; due to their attractiveness, clever banter, and ability to truly believe in love. Emily is a talented reporter, and after three long years of waiting, she is finally starting a new position with Miles Media. She is now a New Yorker and loving every minute of it. Jameson is the CEO of Miles Media. He is a workaholic and needs to run in order to alleviate the never ending stress that comes with his job. In addition, Jameson is a bit of a control freak and prefers a one night stand to a relationship.

A year ago, Emily and Jim (Jameson is his real name), met in first class on a plane headed to New York. Due to poor weather, they were rerouted to Boston. The chemistry between them was electric and the night they spent together was beyond steamy. Although they never exchanged any personal information, they thought about each other constantly. So when Emily shows up on Jameson's turf, they are both equally surprised. They begin seeing each other secretly and the sex is amazing. Lust evolves into love very quickly, however, there is a mole in Jameson's organization and Emily is right in the thick of it.

This is an exciting and slightly emotional novel. I love office romances, and Ms. Swan completely whisked me away into all things corporate. When Emily's world was collapsing, her spunk and determination was truly remarkable. My heart truly ached for her. Jameson's inability to see what was right in front of his face made him difficult character to like. The secondary characters added a lot of personality to plot. This is the first book from the author's brand new series, The Miles High Club, and it can be enjoyed as a standalone.

OH LORD!!! Right from the bat I could tell I was going to LOVE this book! It’s one of those you just read a couple of pages of, and then instantly know you never want it to end! Hands down - this is easily one of my favourites reads of 2019.

It's fate that brings Jameson and Emily together, and then reunites them a year later – both are taken aback! What follows is a story you'll definitely enjoy! The banter between the two of them totally reeled me in, I absolutely loved it!

So good, I even bought the audiobook, and that very rarely happens!! 5 stars for sure!

Looking forward to Tristan’s story in the second book of the series – The Takeover.

I'm not sure how I feel about Emily and Jameson. He was really alpha, like a bit over kill. The book in general was good but I did have some issues with the main characters.
