Elliot Miles did not disappoint.

Another office romance with huge enemies to lover vibes. I was head over heels in love.

Ever since The Takeover I've been craving the Miles brothers again. Elliot is the perfect mix between Jameson and Tristan, hot head with a boyish charm and a massive disadvantage when it comes to being one with nature. You'll know what I mean when you meet the farm yard of animals he gets left with.

Elliot is a massive believer in fate and fate has a funny way of working. It definitely taught him a lesson and it was brutal because my heart broke for Kate. Kate wasn't the heroine I thought I would be seeing Elliot with when The Casanova started but she is absolutely perfect for him. On. Every. Level.

Except Kate has a cow of a sister and I have no idea how they came from the same parents.

There's a moment where all the dots connect and my emotions went haywire. I still have no idea how I feel. I just feel empty. Elliot and Kate have done that to me. T L Swan has done this to me again!

I could honestly do a reread already and I only finished the book 8 hours ago. After the line Christopher made I am so intrigued to see where his book goes.

Mind Officially Blown!
The Casanova is the most amazing story. It is riveting, very steamy, highly entertaining and incredibly enjoyable! One of my favourite reads of 2021.
This book is that good! I experienced so many emotions whilst reading that coming to terms with how well written this book was, just blows my mind.
Elliott Miles is the elusive fictional character that had so many faces, however he was also the most amazing family man. A romantic, believes in fate and the way things happened just made me feel. Everything the characters feel. I loved every moment!
I laughed so hard in parts, felt the sizzling chemistry between him and Kathryn that I wondered how things would pan out for them. I was rooting for them so hard. I wanted them to have the hea they both desperately needed. Can Casanova Miles be tamed? Is love in the air or are things destined to fall apart.
An absolute must read. I highly recommend you read it for yourself and make your own mind up at how truly hooked you will become. Kudos to the author for writing such a beautiful story!

Just amazing. I have loved spending my time getting to know the Miles brothers and the women who have tamed their wild ways.

Elliot "Casanova" Miles and Kate Landon have one hot love affair. The twist at the end was amazing. I did not see that ending coming.

I am looking forward to Christopher's book!

As has been my custom I picked up the THIRD book in the Miles High Series but thankfully this can be read as a standalone. It has references to previous characters who are the brothers of the main characters, but reading them out of order is unlikely to ruin the outcomes given the nature of romance reads.

Elliot Miles is the CEO of Miles Media. He's a rich media tycoon, broody, quiet and fiercely protective of his privacy. He's demanding, moody and unapologetic. His reputation as a philandering womaniser proceeds him. He catches a glimpse of a woman in a security camera, not recognising it is his IT Manager Kathryn (Kate) Langford. Elliot and Kathryn have had a loathe-hate relationship for seven years - in as much as Kathryn refuses to bow down to Elliot's caustic nature and unrelenting demands. She's ballsy, intelligent and fierce after regaining her strength following two significant losses in her life. After some backwards and forwards the pair acknowledge their attraction - it's a secret, intense, and they both know it is time-limited.

The primary plotline of the Casanova is the illusiveness of a relationship. Kate finds herself falling for Elliot whilst he is searching for something that seems out of his reach. Additional plot lines include fictional interactions between the characters on an online dating site and Elliot's obsession with a female artist whose paintings he has been procuring. Kate is unsure she can trust Elliot and does not intend to be his second choice.

This book is packed with banter, chemistry between this pair that is off the charts, steam galore, emotional closeness and tenderness, familial relationships, and themes of loss and grief. There's also exploration of endometriosis for the main character Kate. There were loads of laughs between Elliot and Kate, Kate and her friends, and Elliot and his brothers which gave dimension to the story. Both Elliot and Kate are searching for their happily ever afters on their own terms - the question is weather they can achieve it together.

The Casanova is the first TL Swan book I have read. A huge thumbs up as I was unaware the author lives in Sydney and love supporting Australian authors. Thank you to Netgalley for an ARC of this book to read and review. It's out on 26/8/2021.

The thing that I love most about TL Swan’s books, they’re like amazing chocolates that you want to eat slowly, then you can’t help, but finish them all in one sitting!
Her latest book, The Casanova does it again! I love seeing the Miles family again - Elliot is the 3rd brother!is like his brothers and finds romance, balanced with the attempts to keep their personal lives, out of the public eye. It’s set in London, as opposed to the other in NYC and this plot uses a dating site and even a final outcome that I never saw coming!
There’s even a brief cameo of the of Jillian, Spencer and Sebastian from the Mr. series.

I’ve read & loved all of TL Swan’s books- The Casanova can be read as stand alone, but If you haven’t them, The Stopover and The Takeover definitely worth reading as well!

I loved Kate & Elliot’s story beyond words. Even days later after finishing, I am having trouble moving on to a new book.

The banter between Kate & Elliot was everything! I loved how Kate wouldn’t back down & challenged Elliot. It was great watching Elliot open up. I loved that there were moments of laughter and moments that brought me to tears.

I will definitely be re-reading this book over and over again! I absolutely adore this series and I can’t wait for Christopher’s book!

I voluntarily reviewed this book.

Thank you to Amazon Publishing UK and Netgalley for the ARC e-book copy for an honest review. I enjoyed this book immensely! This was the first book I've read from T.L. Swan, but I want to read more!

I love a good enemies-to-lovers trope, so this was right up my alley. I also loved the banter between Edgar and Pinkie. lol.

I will say I thought the story was a tad too long. I also thought the back and forth of are they together, but they aren't really together, but yes, they are together dragged on for longer than necessary.

However, I loved the London and New York setting. I laughed out loud several times. I also shed a few tears at the loneliness Kate experienced. I also LOVED that Elliott believed in destiny and that THE person for you is out there, somewhere. It's not often we get that from a male character, especially in a romance story.

I will definitely go back and read the other books in the Miles High Club series.

I really like this author, I just discovered it is the 3rd book in the series and it is one better than another, God I like both heroes are romantic and I believe in destiny and magic what happened to them is magic. Before reading this book I read opinions and who gave this story 3 stars means that he is not a good reader or critic, because this story is unique, I have not met any author but I have read a lot and I like to read after possibilities, but this story is unique, sensational ...

Elliot Miles, head of the London office of Miles Media, is known for being powerful, cold, seductive, and a womanizer. So much so that the paparazzi have dubbed him The Cassanova.

Kate is the IT manager of Miles Media and in full honesty: hates Elliot Miles. He's arrogant and rude and she can't be held accountable for the things she says in his presence because the man brings out her temper like no one else.

But one day Elliot sees Kate in a sexy red athletic dress and he suddenly sees her in a new way. His hunger fir her grows unsatisfied and she is overcome with this cold and cruel man who makes her melt with one heated glance.

On paper this is an enemies to lovers workplace romance but in true T.L. Swan fashion it is so much more. There's a mystery threaded through the entire book about an unknown artist Elliot is obsessed with, a beautiful and enchanted farm with guard ducks, an amorous goat, and a murderous ram, and two secret identities with hilarious screen names from a dating site.

This book was WONDERFUL and I honestly loved it from page one to the end. One of the things I loved most about this book was how at a certain point an HEA seemed impossible for this couple, and yet every plot thread was pulled together at the last moment to make it work perfectly for me.

I loved watching this cold alpha melt into tenderness over the fiery Kate. It was a thing of beauty and it also had an equal amount of scorching steam as well.

I have not read as satisfying ending in a romance in a while and it was well worth the angst to get there.

I was super excited to get an eARC of this book. The previous book in this series, The Takeover is one of my favourite romance books of all time.

Elliot Miles and Kate have hated each other since they first met. But one day Elliot sees her dancing in the office and is instantly affected to her and becomes mildly obsessed, and is determined to have her. They start a “friends with benefits” like relationship but of course it can’t end there.

I really enjoyed these two (those Tristan is still my fave brother so far). I really enjoyed their dynamics and and there was plenty of fire as one can expect from TL Swan.

I was extremely annoyed at a decision Elliot makes, but TL Swan brought me back with one of the best grovels I have ever seen, added with some plot convenience reveals that were so obvious, but it was cute so I still liked it.

I love this series as a whole and it was great to see all the previous cast of characters and I can’t wait to get Christopher’s story (We are getting it right!?!)

I love the Miles High Club Series and I couldn't wait to get my hands on the newest release and, as usual, T L Swan delivered and did not disappoint!
I read The Casanova in one sitting...I was hooked from page one and just couldn't put the book down. The story, the characters, the banter, their struggles and OMG their chemistry were honestly off the freaking charts!

I'm a sucker for a good hate to love romance, but this one is truly so much more with its intricate plot and its 3-dimensional characters, you feel aaaall the feels while you read about Kate and Elliot falling in love and fate trying to bring them together for years without them knowing. Honestly, these two were destined.

Hats off to T L Swan once again for this funny, extremely witty, swoon-worthy and steamy AF romance.

500% would recommend (also, do yourself a favour and read the other books in this series).

**Thank you to T L Swan, Amazon Publishing UK and Netgalley for the e-ARC of The Casanova. All thoughts and opinions are my own.**

Another amazing story written by TL Swan. The chemistry between the hero and heroine is off the charts. I loved reading about them going from absolutely hating each other to be so incredibly in love with each other. Also the twist in the end that we have been waiting for since the first Miles High Club book!

3.5 stars. I really like the first two books in this series and this one was good as well. However, I do have some issues with the cultural representation. As someone who has lived in the UK for half of her adult life, this book that is set in London and features British people was a bit charring to read. I don't mind if the narrative refers to things in American English (elevators vs lift, etc.), however, if you are writing dialogue for British people you need to make it believable and there were many, many instances where this wasn't the case. In fact, if it hadn't set it was set in the UK, I would have never thought it was.
I very much appreciate that this is probably a bigger issue for me than it is for other people but I cannot overlook that. Please do your research, and do it well.

I really enjoy this Mile High Club series, these are books that you will re-read. This is book #3, I have laughed out loud. I truly enjoy a good banter back and forth in a romance novel and T L Swan can provide that and then some. At first I worried it would be all this dating app back and forth, seems to be a few books like that now, don't worry, it is just enough. Kate and Elliot can't stand each other! Love re-visiting the brothers. This could easily be a stand alone but gift yourself and read all of them. I gobbled this book up so fast, I will re-read the entire series slowly. I seriously didn't know how T L Swan would manage the ending so I was okay with it, ta-da she did!!! I eagerly wait for Christopher's story.

4.5 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Casanova has been one of my most anticipated books by TL Swan. Let me just say that it's absolutely worth the wait. This book is EVERYTHING! and I love every single second of it. Like seriously, I didn't expect that it would be so enjoyable that I was able to finish it within one day. It was completely addicting and a total page-turner.

Talking about the characters, they are just fantastic. I adore both of them and the personas that they portrayed in the story. Yes, there are some parts that got me slightly annoyed, but that didn't make me like them any lesser. The chemistry that these two shared is just like 🔥🔥🔥 Believe me, these two hated each other like crazy, but it's absolutely clear that their attraction to one another is deeper than they thought.

Overall, it was a great read for me and I think that TL Swan has done an amazing job in delivering the story of Elliot and Kate. They managed to steal my heart and I think they have officially become my favourite couple in the series. I highly recommend for everyone try out this book because you surely don't want to miss out this amazing book.

This is the first title I've read by this author, and I enjoyed it. It has great banter and humor between the two leads, great sexual tension and ties up the ending in a way I did not predict! I will look for more to read from this author.

I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

What can I say another Miles brother that I love. All four siblings are 100% swoon worthy. So far in this series, I have rated the first two books a 5 star review. This one fell slightly short of a 5 star review. Don't get me wrong, this book was AMAZING. I love the chemistry between the two characters, and all the cameos of the Miles men. Elliot was our strong hero who doesn't take no for an answer. While Kate spends much of the book finding herself, she is a very strong character in her own way.

The reason I dock half a star was because at times the Miles men felt the same. There was one quote, that I swear was used in one of the first books. I felt that Elliot and Jameson had a ton of similarities in their stories. This left me feeling like "have I read this before"?

The end was predictable, but sweet. Perfect HEA. And very excited for Christopher to get his own book!

Elliot & Kathryn (aka Kate)

Dual POV. Book 3 in the continuing Miles High series. Rom-com, enemies-to-lovers, work place romance. I enjoyed the cameos from characters in TL Swan's previous books with updates on the 2 previous Miles High couples. This book does include an epilogue.

Elliot (34, 35) is the third in birth order of the four Miles boys, guards his privacy fiercely, was nicknamed by the media as Casanova Miles, is an art lover, and the CEO of the UK branch of Miles Media. Kathryn (27; aka Kate) has worked in the IT department for Miles Media UK for 7 years, grief over the loss of her parents 6 years ago caused her to withdraw from socializing and seeking relationships. Kate stands up to Elliot at work and the two frequently buttheads until Elliot sees Kate in a new light. The twists in this book are very smart, just when I thought I figured it all out TL Swan proved me wrong. WELL DONE! This will definitely be a re-read for me. I look forward to reading the 4th Miles brother's book.

ARC from NetGalley. JP

[edit]
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC. This was exactly what an enemies to lovers/workspace romance should be. I found myself laughing out loud multiple times. Elliot was a lovable a**hole that I despised at first but he kind of won my heart in the end. Kate was amazing and I loved the fact that she was outspoken throughout the whole novel. There were super cute cameos made by the other characters in this series and I loved seeing bits of Tristan in this book.

Thanks to Net Galley I was able to read an advance copy of The Casanova by T.L Swan . This is the 3rd book in the Miles High Club . It is also the first book I have read by this author . I’m always hesitant checking out authors I have never read before . I have heard great things about T.L Swan , I have just never taken the plunge . Let me tell you this , The Casanova did not disappoint

The Casanova follows Elliot Miles and Kathryn Langford . Kathryn works for Elliott and the two absolutely dislike each other . You can feel the dislike between the 2 of them and I think that’s initially what drew me in. However you can feel the raw sexual energy between them. You find yourself wanting them together , especially when you get to see the other side of Elliot .

There were several moments in this book where I bursted out laughing hysterically . There were moments where my heart hurt for both Elliott and Kathryn . Moments where I wanted to slap them both for being idiots. Moments where I cried like a baby . I have fallen completely in love with both Elliott and Kathryn .

If you’ve read the previous books familiar faces make an appearance . If you are like me and haven’t read the previous books , this book will make you want to go back and read the first 2 . I know it did me .

If you are looking for a hot , steamy book with enjoyable characters this is that book for you . Check it out .
