The Takeover (The Miles High Club Book 2)

Product Information

I also thought the friction with Harry's character was not well handled. It was a solid idea, but having Tristan call him a psycho, and their interactions in general until discovering the true reason for him acting out were juvenile on Tristan's part and if I were a mother I would be alarmed and not want that man in my child's life. It wasn't until later in the book, that Tristan's attempts to befriend Claire's sons felt more reasonable/realistic.

The storylines were perfect. There was one about the company Claire runs which her and her husband Wade Anderson started, Claire has been struggling to keep it going so that she can hand it over to her boys when they are old enough. There is the romance storyline between Claire and Tristan, which is extremely romantic and steamy. There is the storyline about Tristan wanting a family of his own, which is poignant and sweet. The storyline about Claire’s kids not wanting an interloper in their lives, which is so funny and charming. Then there is a storyline about his mother wanting something different for her son than a woman with three kids. This book was just so perfect. I loved every minute of it. I loved the fact that there wasn’t any obvious twists. Plus there’s another reason that the couples don’t loose themselves in each other. Their essence and being stood against their relationship. This can be read as a stand-alone but I highly recommend reading The Stopover!I really enjoyed The Stopover, which was book one in The Miles High series. This book was even better. The relationship between Tristan and Claire was hot and so realistic for how a relationship with a single mother goes. Many of the times they were together in the beginning, the kids stayed with her parents, since she is a widow. Whereas if she were divorced it would have been weekends where the kids were with their father. Tristan isn’t introduced to the kids until a bit later, which is like it should happen in real life. I am honestly completely floored as I just couldn’t put this book down and now want to read the first book in the series! She scowls as she falls into character. “Totally hard.” She punches her hand with her fist. “Iron maiden snatch style.” As it’s often the case, the side characters gave colors to the story–Claire’s kids, her best friend, Tristan’s family, and even the cat and dog. They all bring some humor in a story that, if not angsty, still touch tough subjects, like grief.

When Tris decides to pursue something more with Claire, he finds out just what having three boys means. While Tristan tries to navigate Claire's family life, he is also trying to teach Claire's oldest how to run a media company. It will take a lot of patience, determination and love for Tristan and Claire to find their happy ending, but it will be worth it! This book was so much more than your typical romance. There wasn't only 2 hearts involved in this there were 5. And this made it that much more special. Now this book isn't all laughs, one-liners and giggles. They deal with a lot of serious and heartbreaking situations. I sobbed reading parts of this book, I just couldn't deal with my emotions. Tristan is a beautiful character. He is a pompous arrogant ass sometimes but as he says he always gets what he wants. Claire is funny, stubborn and she does the best she can with what keeps being thrown at her. She a bold and beautiful woman and mother to her boys. Tristan is an asshole and comes off overbearing, and he gets what he wants. But he does grow or let down his facade the more he pursues and takes care of Claire and her three sons (the pranks they pull on him are hilarious). It's a messy story with lots of starts and stops, but it felt realistic in terms of relationships. ARC received from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Opinions expressed are my own & have not been influenced in any way.A widowed mother of three rambunctious boys isn't Tristan Miles' typical jam but for Claire Anderson, he's willing to make an exception. They first meet during a not-so-casual lunch meeting when Tristan tried to buy Claire's late husband's company. The meeting was a disaster, what with Claire insulting him and storming out. Clearly she left an impression on him, though, because he called her up three days later to ask her out, earning a firm no. That should have been the end of it but then they end up at the same conference six months later, and well, if it isn't a sign from above.. stars! This book’s my first read from this author. TL Swan’s definitely not someone you should miss. Her writing was precise and captivating. And I liked her narration style a lot. Yes, he first comes across as this rich man whom EVERYBODY wants but he’s not arrogant, not a playboy.

One thing I must say is that I hated trying to read the sections that were from Tristan's POV as these were all in bold and it hurt my eyes. It was like he was shouting at you and had me trying to move my reading device away from me to try and get comfortable with it. The sections were labelled with "Tristan" so no other distinction was necessary. I loved his pursuit of Claire at the conference but really it’s his continued pursuit of her when they return from France that gutted me with this book. Claire is a widow with three boys and now runs her late husband's media group, Anderson Media, and it is not doing well financially. She finally gives into a meeting with a competing media group, Miles Media, and Tristan Miles dares to offer to buy the company right then and there. Claire refuses and walks out of the room. She even turns in down for a date a few hours later.Tristan and Claire meet again some time later at a Self-help conference and while Claire continues to be icy towards Tristan, she starts to feel the heat between the two of them. 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.
