I was thrilled to receive an ARC from Netgalley of the Casanova. This is the 3rd book in the Miles High Club series and I loved the first two books and this one did not disappoint.

This is an enemies to lovers book about Elliot Miles who runs Miles Media and Kathryn who is the IT manager. They hate each other and have no problem letting the other one know just how much. I don’t want to give too much away because this book has a few twists that I didn't see coming. I loved the banter and emotion and also the humor that was in this book!

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys great banter, lots of sexy times and wants to laugh a lot!

Thank you Netgalley and Amazon Publishing UK for the eARC! I loved it!

Another TL Swan hit! I loved watching Elliot and Kate’s romance play out. Not only was The Casanova the perfect steamy, romance, it was also hilarious!

Kate is smart and sassy and doesn’t immediately gush over Elliot’s charm like he assumes she will do. The sexual tension is perfect and it throws in some drama that I did not see coming.

If you loved the previous two Miles’s book then you’ll definitely love The Casanova!

I loved Jamieson and Tristan but Elliott just stole my heart. What a big ol softie he turned out to be. TL Swan never disappoints with her stories and this one was up with one of my favourites. All her books have great twists and turns there is no straight line break up get back together happily ever after which makes her books all that more enjoyable to read. Her wit and humour through out her stories beguiles me.
Thanks for another outstanding book T

Yet another hot sexy installment about the Miles brothers. You can read it as a stand alone or as part of the series. I love the characters and the chemistry is amazing! You can't help but get involved.

**Received ARC for honest reviews**

I want to start off to say that I have read all of TL Swan's books and I think she is just a truly amazing author. I think it's safe to say I will be a fan of her writing till the day I die.

The two previous books - The Stopover and The Takeover set the bar exceptionally high, especially The Takeover. I loved previous two books so much I wished I could give them 10 stars. Now this book...I love Kate, she's strong and knows what she wants. Elliot is cute, hot, everything like his brothers Tristan and Jameson, plus a little more romantic at heart.

Another awesome work from TL Swan.

The next person I see telling people that The Stopover is a standalone is going to get karate chopped. IT LITERALLY ISN'T A STANDALONE! IT'S A SERIES! THEY'RE BROTHERS! JUST READ THEM ALL!

Anyway.

I loved this one. Kate and Elliot have an enemies to lovers story, and we finally get to find out who that artist Elliot loves is. Lots of sex scenes, per usual, and these felt less spicy and more romantic. If you've read the other stories in this series, you must pick this one up!

Enchanted Fate
I cannot put enough into words to express how much I enjoyed The Casanova book by TL Swan. Elliott and Kate’s love story was phenomenal and I love how fate played a part. Elliott is one sexy hot lover but yet a romantic at heart who is convinced that his forever is going to be by fate. Kate is a very strong independent woman that busts his balls at every turn. Their banter is absolutely hilarious and it made this book perfect. I loved Pinkie Leroo and Edgar Moffatt’s part in this story and Elliott’s brothers too especially the day they came for a surprise visit on his birthday and I cannot forget to mention the feral ducks. I am so glad all the brothers were included in this story along with the banter between them. This was one of the best books I have ever read that gives you all the emotions of a relationship and makes you feel good. I did not want this story to end!! I am ready so for Christopher’s book to come out. TL Swan is an amazing author and I have purchased and read all of her books and every single one has been outstanding. I encourage you to buy and read any of her books and I promise you that you will never be disappointed and will be a fan of hers for life.

The Casanova is the 3rd book with Elliott Miles, CEO of Miles Media UK. He's dubbed as the Casanova but deep down he is a romantic. Kathryn (Kate) is the head of IT at Miles Media amd pretty much the nemesis for Elliott. Until one day when Elliott actually notices her, even though she's worked in the Company for 7 years.
Elliot, as we have read in the previous books, is obsessed with a certain artist and has been in search of her. Her paintings have called to him and he feels a deep connection. He believes that when he finally meets the person he has to be with, he'll know in the first instance. Which is the opposite of everything he has with Kate. He's hated her for years and therefore doesn't make any commitments. He wants a no strings relationship with her in secrecy. Privacy is a major issue in Elliot's life which we see throughout the book.
With his heart in a split, he makes certain decisions that threatens their relationship. But I love a good groveling and Elliott did that for Kate. He knew what she needed and he was there. This story made me laugh, the Enchanted Kingdom is something special, and it made me cry. Elliot portrays to be the cold businessman but we see his kind heart in the small gestures he makes.
Kate is so strong throughout the book, she risks everything she believes to be with Elliott, and that's more than what Elliott gives her. Kate knows what she wants and she pursues it.
The main twist in the story was a little predictable to me but I enjoyed it nevertheless. I wanted to know how things would play out between the two.

I received an ARC for review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Kathryn Landon has worked at Miles Media for years. However, she has never really gotten along with her boss Elliot Miles. Things are about to change when Elliot brings her home after a reaction to medication that didn’t go so well. Kate’s friends wanted her to get back out there and find a date. Not realizing her made-up person on the dating site is talking to Elliot and finding out he has developed feelings for her.

Elliot Miles may be known as Casanova, but that doesn’t mean he is in real life. Having grown up in the spotlight all his life, all he wants is to find the artist who speaks to him through their paintings. However, his feelings for Kate start to surface, and Elliot decides to offer Kate a friends with benefits contract. Though Elliot still knows his art is out there, and that’s who he feels he is meant to be with.

Kate and Elliot have such chemistry they can’t ignore it, but will it last? Will the artist come between Elliot and Kate? Will Elliot be able to let his guard down and profess his love for Kate?

“It’s like I’m swimming out to sea with no sight of land. I know it’s dangerous, but I can’t get out of the riptide as I get swept along. Perhaps I wouldn’t even if I could. The water is dark, but it’s too late. I’m too far from the shore to turn back.”

This book is by far one of my favorites. I haven’t laughed so much in a while. I also haven’t cried and felt the pain from such excellent writing. I could feel all the characters in this story deep within my bones. The narrative is impeccable and flows. Elliot and Kate's push and pull had me feeling every bump in their relationship.

“What’s wrong with him? He keeps running away, he’s crying all the time.” Elliot
“He’s looking for a mate. It’s normal for a goat of around this age to want….” vet
“He’s horny? Are you kidding me? You kept me up all night because you’re horny? Just what I need.” Elliot
“What do you expect? He is your son….after all.” Kate

My favorite part of this book had to be the ducks and goats. The banter between the animals and Elliot was priceless. TL Swan did a stellar job of writing scenes I can and have read over and over again. Those scenes still make me laugh.

So glad to read this third installment in the Miles quartet! The Casanova features Elliot, the third brother and CEO of the London offices. I've been looking forward to Elliot's installment ever since I knew he had the fascination with the artist. I knew it was going to be good and boy, it was.
Kate is his heroine. Let's face it. She's adorable, funny, and fiesty. I loved her no fear attitude. I simply loved her, I'll be honest and want to be her when I grow up!
This is a lovely story. Now I'm going to be honest, the second book will always be my favorite because c'mon..Harrison! But this story had humor (homicidal ducks anyone?), the ultimate makeup and grovel scenes, and it was so steamy my fingertips singed. A great new addition to the series and I can't wait for the finale! Write faster Ms. Swan, write faster!

As a side note to the editors - I had a little issue with how the text exchanges happened. There was no difference in the text between characters and I had a hard time deciphering sometimes who was saying what. Maybe bold one character or change the font style?

Elliott & Kathryn have a hate hate relationship. But one moment changes everything as they give into their attraction to each other. I loved the angry banter between them at the start & watching as Elliott starts to take down Kathryn's hard work shell. This had me feeling all the things. So many great moments specially with the Miles brothers. Laughed so many times & felt when Kathryn had her heart ripped out. Was great to have a male character being a secret romantic. I loved the overall arc & how all the pieces came together in the end. The only thing I wish was different was the side story with the room mate, I just wish that had been slightly different or left out altogether, just came off as weak. This is my favourite in the series so far. T.L. Swan has given us another great steamy (very steamy) story that I just devoured, did not feel like this was over 500pgs.

The Casanova is another great book in the Mike’s High series and what a winner this is.
Elliot is CEO of Miles Media, Kathryn is I.T.lead and programmer. She has worked there for 7 years and they absolutely loathe each other. Elliot is always trying to force Kathryn to resign, she’s stubborn and refuses. One night Elliot sees Kathryn in an entirely new light, they get together and are pretty combustible.
What really lifts this story into a page turner is not just the emotional developing relationship and the other strong characters, it is the humour and sheer excellence of the rapport between the two in their snarky exchanges.
I rarely laugh out loud when reading but the sheer comedy scenes in this book are absolutely hilarious and a joy.
A really lovely story, Elliot is an ass but redeems himself magnificently, this is a book that you’ll want to return to for many re reads.
My thanks to net galley and publisher for the opportunity to review this book honestly.

Okay, Elliot ALMOST beat Jameson out for the biggest douche on the planet. I mean I wanted to smack him so hard through about 80% of the entire book. This is not a sweet, loving, hot office romance. Their love story is painful, heartbreaking at times & honestly made me want to throw the book across the dang room & never even think of Elliot again. Can you tell how pissed off he made me? Honestly, the ending of this book & all the plot twists is what saved their story for me. I was so heated about Elliot's actions toward Kate at one point that I did not even want her to stay with him/or give him another chance. This is an enemy to lovers with so many twists that I honestly was so hurt for Kate. Their steam was good & I did feel their connection with each other. However, I feel like because of all the drama that we uncover with Elliot & what he is hiding with his emotions... that their connection did not really make sense to me with how intense it seemed. If you like a painfully hurtful Hero who & a Heroine who is trying to find herself after grief then this book is for you. It was a rough book to get through but I loved the ending & Elliot did somewhat redeem himself in my head.

Okay, this is the second book I read of the High Miles Club, and I loved the banter between Elliot and Kate. It was such a fun time.
I loved their personality (Pinkie and Edgar) hahaha.
However, there was some stuff I didn't like: Elliot's obsession with being with someone "exceptional" and also the drama was very lacking for me.
Otherwise, it was such a fun and steamy read, and from now on I will look forward to reading TL. Swan.

Thank you so much NetGalley and Amazon Publishing UK for giving me an opportunity to reading this ARC in exchange of an honest review.

The Casanova (Miles High Club #3) T L Swan
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The superlatives I could use to describe ‘The Casanova”, would consume a dictionary.
Brilliant, heartwarming, emotional, hot(yes, I consider that a superlative) satisfying, addictive, I could go on and on.
But what I can confidently tell you is that Elliott Miles, though complicated in his behaviour, is the enchanted prince to Kathryn Landon’s happily ever after story. They just don’t know it!
Two very complicate characters who come from such different worlds but who share an underlying true romantic streak.

A true enemies to lovers trope but with the considerable finesse that comes with a TL Swan story. Every detail, every twist, every plot turn perfectly timed for maximum reading enjoyment and delivering on every minute promise of more to come in the story.

This book was just 100% incredible.

Every word, every character and every scenario was measured and delivered with brilliance and incredibly moving and emotive writing and I am honoured that I got to read and review The Casanova.

More Miles to come and I just can’t wait. Can you?????

I really enjoyed reading this book and the characters!! The chemistry between Elliot and Kate is so good. I liked reading their povs and how they each develop throughout the story.

The enemies to lovers aspect of the story was honestly so interesting. It was also written well!! Their relationship development was something I loved most about the story. Kate is absolutely everything!! I love her character so much. She is strong and feels deeply which I could totally understand. Elliot honestly surprised me, even in the moments that made me want to yell at him lol. In the end I began to understand his emotions more.

Although there was a certain moment that didn’t really do it for me I still think this book was overall interesting and an enjoyable read. I can’t wait to read more by this author!

Thank you to NetGalley and Amazon Publishing UK for the opportunity to read this ARC. This honest review was based off my experience reading an ARC, which in no way biased me.

First off, I would like to say I’m a big fan of TL Swan’s work. I have read the other two books in The Miles High Club, (The Stopover and The Takeover) along with the first book in her Mr. Series (Mr. Masters).

TL Swan writes banter for enemies to lovers that is amazing, and the best part is that it starts almost immediately. Right at the beginning of chapter 1, Elliot and Kate show their hatred for each other and its already made me smile. Their banter isn’t just in their dialogue, but even in their snarky emails/anonymous messages to each other. TL Swan’s character’s dirty talk is immaculate. As well as how she writes smut. One of my favorite things about this author is that is good plot and good smut.

Elliot is the “guy obsessed with the girl” and honesty it’s working for him. I will say Elliot is very different from the characters I’ve read. He’s such a hopeless romantic he doesn’t even notice his dream girl has been under his nose for YEARS, and like he doesn’t even realize what he has right there.
“Elliot is a dreamer,” she continues. “He lives in a world where he is forced to be a realist, but in his heart, he is a romantic.”

I thought that none of TL Swan’s books would come close to how much I love The Takeover, but I’m happy to say that this one got VERY close. I love this so much. It deserves the 5 stars I rated it. This book made me laugh, made me anxious FOR THEM, and almost cry. I had a great time.

Reading The Stopover and The Takeover is not necessary to read this book, but I would highly suggest it. For context and because they are also very good.

4 Enchanted Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Oh boy...
Elliot is a romantic at heart and I love him!
I swear that I was scared of getting another Jameson (The Stopover), and daydreaming about another Tristan (The Takeover).

At the beginning I confess that I wasn't impressed... until at least 35%, the book wasn't delivering nothing special.
That's probably why my review is missing a star.
Elliot was a total jerk, but not the interesting brooding type, but the Jameson type... The kinda of guy that raises hell into everyone's life when things don't work the way he wants, and is in the verge of a heart attack because he's always stressed out.

Kate was an interesting character since the beginning... A little extra on her attitude, because let's be real... Who would talk to the CEO of a huge media empire, and also your boss, the way she talked to Elliot? But it was entertaining to see their interactions and the evolution of their interest in reach other.

Things got a lot better after they accept their attraction and the book took another direction entirely. One that I really loved!

Elliot starts to show his better side and Kate let go of her bitchness to be funny and vulnerable in a good way.
Their connection was amazing, super hot, and you could see clearly the growth of their feelings through each other.
Elliot as a sweet and romantic, but totally possessive and dominant farm man, is definitely worth every heart ache!

Another positive thing is all the interactions between the Miles brothers! They are truly an unique and united family! Looooved to see that Harry is still causing trouble to Tristan after all 😂.

This book is full of laughs and fun moments, as much as the sexy and hot ones.
The twist of the story wasn't a mistery to me, cause i could guess it very early, but it didn't ruined the book at all, since it was really well built and closed up.

I really enjoyed this book and I loved how it ended! It was sweet, funny, sexy, entertaining and when Elliot fucked up, the groveling was real! You go girl!
Love it!

Can't wait for the last Miles brother and Tristan's boys books (because I'm pretty sure they'll get one! They're too much to let it pass 😂)

5 stars

The Casanova is one of my FAVORITE books of 2021! I need more of Elliot Miles in my life. TL Swan has done a wonderful job with the Miles High Club series! This book is right up there with The Stopover which was my favorite book last year.

I love a good office, enemies to lovers romance and this book checked off all the boxes of all the tropes I love to read about it. There's also no shortage of steamy and s*xy AF scenes scattered throughout the book. Elliot comes off as an asshole but Kate slowly peels back his layers and you see the sweet, loving side of Elliot which I loved reading about. I loved that this book wasn't overdramatic either. It was literally the perfect book and I'm thankful for receiving an advanced copy of this book through NetGalley.

TL Swan can do no wrong when it comes to writing the Mile High series. The Casanova is her best yet.

Elliot Miles is swoon worthy, a total a-hole most of the time and is nicknamed the Casanova because women never turn him down. Kathryn Landon is an IT specialist at Miles Inc. Elliot is her boss. They can't stand each other... until they can. Their chemistry is hot, hot, hot!

I read this in one day. Could not put it down. Absolutely brilliant!
