The Takeover by T.L. Swan – Synopsis
In bestselling author T L Swan’s second hot installment to the Miles High Club series, he’s sexy, rich, and her mortal enemy. Hate never felt so good.
I first met Tristan Miles at a meeting where he was trying to take over my late husband’s company.
He was powerful, arrogant, and infuriatingly gorgeous, and I hated him with every cell in my body. In the shock of the century, he called me three days later and asked me on a date.
I would rather die than date a man like him—though I do have to admit it was good for the ego. Turning him down was the highlight of my year.
Six months later, he was the guest speaker at a conference I attended in France. Still arrogant and infuriating—but this time, surprisingly charming and witty.
When he looked at me, I got butterflies.
But I can’t go there.
He’s just a player in a hot suit, and I’m just a widow with three unruly sons.
I just need this conference to be over.
Because everybody knows that Tristan Miles always gets what he wants…and what he wants is me.
Arc Review
The first book in “The Miles High Club” series was simply fantastic, so when I saw “The Takeover”, I knew I had to read it. The second book is a bit different from the first one in a good way. I loved it so much.
This is a steamy, enemy-to-lover romance with witty characters. I laughed out loud so many times. The author really nailed the characters (and even the cat). Tristan is arrogant and unapologetic when he pursues what he wants, but he is also very funny and sweet. Claire is tortured with grief and struggles to move on. She is also fierce and equally funny. Her kids made me laugh out loud. They all have their own personality and struggles. They also melt my heart.
The banter between the two main characters was definitely worth the read. The chemistry is off-the-charts. I very much enjoyed the fact that the story kept surprising me. It never took the obvious turns and that was very refreshing. Despite being so different, the romance worked and felt genuine. All couples have to compromise on some levels without losing their essence, and I felt that this story conveyed this notion perfectly.
I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. I highly recommend this book. It can be read as a standalone, but you should definitely read Emily and Jameson’s story. I absolutely adored this one too.
