I requested this book because I had read the first book in this series, The Stopover. I had mixed feelings about The Stopover because I felt the characters had a little too much back and forth (does he want me or doesn't he want me, etc.). In the end, the book was good so I decided to give The Takeover a try as well. I did not like The Takeover as much - it was DEFINITELY too much angst - the main couple "broke up" multiple times during a short time period only to get back together and proclaim their undying love for each other. And then brea up the next week just to start it all over again.

This is the story of Triston, the 2nd oldest Miles brother. We were introduced to a charismatic Tristan in the first book and he appeared to be the jovial playboy that everyone liked. In The Takeover, the book begins with Tristan meeting with Anderson Media to discuss a friendly takeover. The owner of Anderson Media did not want to sell - she is the widowed mom of three boys ranging from 9ish to 18. Her husband founded the company and died in a tragic accident five years prior. She feels she will be letting down her dead husband if she sells out.

I'm undecided if I will read books about the other brothers - I guess I will see how I feel when those books are released.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. The opinions stated above are mine without biases.

I loved the Stopover, so I couldn't wait to read The Takeover, loved the sneak peak at the end of the Stopover. How lucky I was to get a copy from NetGalley. I started reading and after their initial meeting, I thought hmmm I don't think I'm going to like this book. She's a bit older than him, she has kids, he's too nice...holy smokes was I wrong. This was hot and laugh..... I didn't laugh out loud, I screamed laughing. I don't think I have laughed so much in a book (love those boys). This book was a joy...simply a joy. It had the romance, hot romance, hot guy but the humor, loved the humor and the heart touching moments. Yup this scored big time!!! Please write the other brother's story please....the art collector Elliot pretty please???

I had never read this author before, but plan to read more of her books. The characters are well developed and the author hooked me into the story on an emotional and comical level. There are some aspects of the story that are not based in real life, but this is a well-formed story. I think it ended too quickly though and was hoping for an Epilogue.

What an amazing story. All the feels. All the emotions. All the love and every single thing we hope for in a romance. Tristan Miles is the Takeover King but when it comes to Claire Anderson he has to work for it. But she doesn’t come alone. The story is good that you won’t want to put it down. Gahhh....it’s so perfect! I cried, I laughed and my heart fell in love with every character.

Highly recommended.

I have been waiting for this book since I finished The Stopover, the first book in the Miles High Club series. I loved the tension and sexiness of the first book, and I became intrigued by the Miles brothers. Tristan did not disappoint. One would assume that a powerful, rich, womanizing man would be a little more...sharp and cold, but Tristan was anything but--and he stole my heart. I was rooting for him from the beginning. The one I had the most trouble with was "Anderson". I understood that she was a widow, working diligently to keep her husband's company as a legacy for their sons, but she continued to act, live, and love as if the man were still alive. She victimized Tristan over and over, basically trying to fit him into the tiny spot in her heart where her husband's memory didn't already have roots. She wouldn't allow herself or Tristan to be truly happy, and I felt terrible for the man who'd done so much for her, who fell so hard for her, and she still held back--even though she says over and over that she loves Tristan.

Overall, this book was sexy, intelligent, heartbreaking, smile-inducing, and enjoyable. I cannot wait to read Christopher and "Harriet's" book.

I loved it! I was waiting for Tristan's story since I read the first book and I am happy to report that it was as good as I expected to be. I highly recommend it if you are a T.L. Swan fan and like billionaire romance books. It didn't disappoint. So thankful to NetGalley for the chance to read and review this early.

Happy reading!

Tristan Miles, is basically a walking god! Gorgeous, women want him and Men want to be him. Claire Anderson runs her husband’s company and Tristan wants to buy it. Claire’s husband died five years earlier leaving her with three sons and a now failing company but a chance meeting at a seminar leaves them wanting more!
Oh how I loved this book! Proper laugh out loud moments, hot romance and a few tears welling in the eyes! Next one please! Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for this arc in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you NetGalley for giving me an ARC in exchange for a review.

This books has everything a feel-good romance book needs. Filled with steam, drama, and passion, it is perfect for anyone looking for an easy-to-read romance book.

Claire is struggling to juggle three young boys, her deceased husband's dying company, and grief. When she meets Tristan Miles she hates everything he is trying to do-- buy her husband's legacy out from underneath her while trying to appear the "good guy." But after a weekend at a feel-good conference, she realizes Tristan may not be as evil and arrogant as he first appeared.

This book is filled with passion and romance, but with the struggles of grief and family after the death of a loved one. While some characters were very two-dimensional, overall I loved this book and the story it painted. I loved the relationship Tristan was able to build with Claire's kids and the complexity of a relationship with so many moving parts. Highly recommend to any romance lover!

Well this one took me by complete surprise. I didn't expect it to actually make me laugh out loud or that I would feel the need to finish it in one sitting.

Here's what it's about: Tristan is a businessman, arrogant, rude and playboy. Claire is a widowed mother of three unruly (and hilarious sons). Their story deals with grief, heartache and family. It's surprisingly heart warming as well as bringing the romance.

I haven't actually read the first book in the series, but that situation will soon be rectified. I'm assuming there will be a book three...

Okay... I didn't liked this one. I'm completely honest when I say I had problems with this book from the start. The romance was sorta slow paced but then all the sudden became instalove(?) It was a bit odd but I overlooked that because my biggest problem with this book was that... I hated the female lead, Claire was everything I dislike in a character; she was judgy and whiny (for a 38 year old woman!) And annoying and always seemed to think she was better than everyone else. Also she was extremely rude to everyone and worse to Tristan (which I actually liked and enjoyed reading) I could not get her appealing and why would someone like Tristan would even liked her.

WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD....



YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!





SPOILERS:

The worst part of the book and the one that almost made me DNF was the last few chapters with the whole adoption thing... omg... I wanted to smacked her! When her children had more sense and logic than the mother... I just... it was so frustrating. She ended up hurting not only Tristan but her own kids and that made me disliked her even more.

It's quite a shame because this book had potential.

It took me some time to get into this book, but once I did I really loved it.
I love books that make me feel and this one was one of them. I laughed, I cried and I couldn't stop reading it.
I loved Tristan so much. He was funny, smart, sometimes arrogant but at the same time so charming. He and Claire were perfect for each other. There was an immediate attraction between them and the chemistry between them was off the charts. I loved how Tristan never gave up on Claire, how they couldn't stay away from each other, how the reasons why they shouldn't be together were realistic, and how they kept fighting for their love and relationship. They were really amazing, but although I loved them I didn’t love them nearly as much as Claire’s kids. Her boys were everything! I loved every single one of them so freaking much. One thing I loved the most was how protective they were of their mother, reading about it warmed my heart and even made me cry. Reading about their relationship with Tristan, especially those scenes when they first met were hilarious, and as they got to know and care for each other so heartwarming, special, and beautiful. I could read ten more books about them and never get tired of them.
This book was funny, interesting, emotional and so beautifully written. I really loved it and I hope we get another book in this series.

4 Stars
It is not every day you can have an author put together a book that delivers on many levels. They can either be sweet and family-oriented or down and dirty. They can have Alpha guys demanding or they could have men who have soft spots for kids. Rarely do you get all of the above in one book, especially with an author who is know for the naughty.

This book had all that and a bag of chips.

Wow! This book has absolutely left me speechless. I have loved every book by T. L. Swan so I was not worried this wouldn't be an absolute hit but it far exceeded my expectations. She is just one of those authors that get you hooked within the first few pages. Out of all her books so far I best related to this one also because it featured a mom who was struggling to raise her children in bouts of grief. The chemistry between Tristan Miles *swoon* and Claire is everything and more! The banter was hilarious and Claire's boys were wild but so sweet. I laughed out loud multiple times and boy did I cry as well. I really enjoyed their love story being told from their different points of view. It helped you really understand how each character felt. The only tidbit I didn't enjoy was the sped through epilogue or lack of really. It needed more....dialogue like her usual epilogues. I'm hoping their's a continuation of their story in the upcoming books! Otherwise, it was a fantastic novel and I would definitely recommend it to my Book Club and to any other romance lovers.

I read the first book in this series and had this second book on my to-read list since finishing that one. I love the details that the author provides and how you are drawn into the characters. Claire Anderson first meets Tristian Miles when he tries to buy her late husband's company that she is currently trying to keep afloat. As the twists and turns of the book, these two end up together and all that comes along with a single, man trying to find his place with a widow and her children. The growth of Tristian throughout the book was welcome and the happy ending is always a plus. Wonderful book and I look forward to reading this author's books in the future.

I liked this book, but just that: liked. I didn't hate it or love it, and, though it was a fun read, I don't think I would read it again. I'm sure some people loved it, but this book just didn't do it for me. It seemed to generic.
Other things:
PROs
- The characters were in situations not often written about (i.e. widowed and running a sinking company), which partially makes up for the lack of creativity with the plot line (two people from virtually different worlds are perfect for each other but ,ust overcome their problems in order to be together) which is also severely overused.
- The love interest making an effort with her children. YUSS! We love to see this, so major points to love interest.
- All of the characters were well developed and the characterization was fabulous.
CONs
-Generic plot line.
- I don't think think Tristan's (love interest) point of view was necessary and added much to the story.

I wasn't much of a fan of T.L. Swan until I read The Takeover. What a wonderfully refreshing take on widowhood and starting over. Well written with great characters, The Takeover is not only steamy but sweet and laugh out loud funny. A definite 4.5 star book. Thank you T.L. Swan and #NetGalley

Loved Claire and Tristan! Claire is a widow of 5 years with three sons and a media company that is in serious trouble. Tristan is wanting to take it over for his family company, Miles Media. Claire views Tristan as a player and her enemy. Tristan is a fixer and what starts as sex ends with him stepping into Claire’s and her son’s lives! Will Claire let him take over? This was such a great read! All the feels! Tristan will make you swoon! 5 stars

I liked the premise of this story and I really liked that the female protagonist is a mother of three. Where the book didn't quite make it was in character development. Claire had a relentless defensiveness that was a bit tiresome and Tristan was condescending and overbearing. So, between her trying to show how tough she is and him being stifling in his interactions with her, I was left wishing for more nuance in their personalities. An entertaining quick read, but not a book I would go back to a second time.

TL Swan is one of my favourites… I love reading her books! She is one of those authors that I am hooked with her stories and I can’t put her books down!!
“Takeover” for me it was an exceptional read, I loved it!! Definitely it was exactly what I needed!! It was funny, sweet, beautiful, heartwarming, steamy, sentimental and her writing as usual exceptional!
I absolutely loved the chemistry between Tristan and Claire! I loved Tristan for the way he was treating Fletcher, Harry and Patrick and how much he loved them, like they were his own!!! I loved the fact, that it was written in dual pov! I loved it because it was totally different from everything TL Swan has written until now! So for me is 4.5 🌟 and the reason for not rating it 5🌟 is because I’m missing an epilogue!!!I Great read, totally recommend it!!!!

So before I begin I want to state I am not a huge fan of this author. I had tried to read a few of her books before and I hated them, books like Dr Stanton and Mr Spencer. I never made it past a few chapters so maybe I would have loved them had I read more but I just hated the first few chapters I did read. Then last year the author released The Stopover and it sounded so good, so despite how I did not like her books I read it and I fell in love with the Miles family. So when I finished it and I heard there was a second book, The Takeover well I have been waiting for over a year to read that book.

And I adored it. Maybe its even better than the first book was. However be warned you will not be able to stop reading it. I adored Tristan and I loved how in he was with Claire. Claire was annoying at some parts of the story but luckily it does not last long. I also adored her sons, I think it might be why I loved this more than the first book because I did not just love Tristan but I loved her kids too, Fletcher, Harry and Patrick made this book so funny and heartwarming. I seriously will never ever forget the first time Tris meets her sons, I could not stop laughing. I think that was the best first meet cute I have ever read.

This is the story told in dual POV's by Claire and Tristan. Tristan loves to help companies out when they are in trouble and take them over. Claire is a widow and she clings to her husbands memory, his love, his kids and his media company.

The two meet and do not get along and 6 months later they end up in Paris where they start to let their guards down and have a fling. But Tristan wants to continue and Claire feels that they live in different worlds. But Tristan has a hard time letting go and I loved how he fought for Claire even if it meant fighting Claire. He is a fighter and this family realy needed his heart and fight.

An absolutely awesome story and I loved that they only want each other. Aside from the dead husband their are no exes or messy afffairs or exes getting in the way of this story.
