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.

When I first started reading this book I wasn't sure I was going to finish it. I don't typically read books like this nor do I like them. The one thing that kept me reading the book was the main characters in the story. They author did a great job creating chemistry between the two of them. I also found myself really enjoying the chemistry between the main male character and the children. They were all so engaging and fun to read about. I stayed up half the night finishing the book. You could have left out all of the unnecessary, descriptive sex scenes and still had a really great book.

Wow! The Takeover was a really great read! I loved The Stopover and knew I had to read The Takeover and I was not disappointed! Tristan and Claire’s story had be glued to the pages.

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

Very grateful to receive an ARC Ebook of the second Instalment of the Miles High Club for an honest review. #NetGalley #TheTakover

I absolutely loved The Stopover and was super excited about reading this and have absolutely no regrets.

I was going to rate this 3.50 but have rounded up to 4*.

What I likes about this. It deals with grief in a very sensitive way without it being too intense. The banter and humour between the hero and the heroine had me laughing out loud throughout. I especially liked although sparks fly between the H and h, they have a deep friendship for one another and it made it feel more real. I am a sucker for newfound families as well and watching Tristan not only fall hopelessly in love with Claire but also her 3 boys, it was super adorable. The characters were very fleshed out, the banter was on point and just an immensely enjoyable read. Finally, I really appreciated that there was positive body image. Claire wasn't perfect, she had stretchmarks, cellulite and the hero loved her even more for it. Nice touch.

There was a brief "other woman drama" but this was handled very quickly and nipped in the bud straightaway so for that I was very grateful.

What I didn't like and why I struck off a star, was the sex scenes were a little too graphic for my taste. Also the H was at times very overbearing and I felt a little uncomfortable with that.

I would really recommend this series and I am buzzing for the next one.
