Le tome 2 est grandement différent du tome 1. C'est une belle initiative que d'aller dans un univers différent dans le sens ou le personnage de Claire, veuve et mère de 3 enfants change des profils de ce genre de livres. Et Tristan est vraiment différent de son frère que l'on a découvert dans le tome 1. Les 2 tomes se suivent mais à part des mentions de son frère Jameson et sa compagne Emily, je pense qu'on peut lire les livres séparément sans problème. C'est sans doute pas plus mal car ce second tome est plus valable que le premier.

La séduction de Claire par Tristan est intéressante. Sa naïveté par rapport aux enfants tournée en ridicule, voire en humiliation est une partie que j'ai moins aimé. Mais son effort pour s'intégrer dans la famille et avoir Claire n'en est que plus attrayante.

Ca se lit bien, assez rapidement. Pas de grande surprise pour un livre de ce genre mais ça fait passer un bon moment. Globalement ni excellent, ni mauvais. Un livre qui se laisse lire.

Loved it! I recommend

En lisant The Stopover, j'ai adoré le personnage de Tristan, j'avais hâte de lire cette histoire. Et je ne suis pas déçue!! Il y a bien eu 2 passages qui m'ont parus un peu bizarre mais bon après tout, c'est une fiction, alors je préfère rester sur l'ensemble.
Et je dois dire que j'ai adoré. C'est souvent drôle, très drôle même. J'ai bien bien ri et souvent souri aussi. Mais l'histoire était également touchante et pleine d'émotions.
Et j'ai adoré le personnage de Tristan, alpha en puissance mais avec un grand coeur, drôle, plein d'esprit.
J'ai beaucoup aimé les échanges entre Claire et Tristan. La situation de Claire en fait aussi un livre à part. J'ai vraiment été touchée. Je recommande.

this book made me laugh, cry and smile all at once!

this is a truly good romance and you can get truly attached to all characters, as they are well developed. It is touching, funny and sentimental, and you really get caught in the story!

One of my favourite books so far this year

Commenté au Royaume-Uni le 27 août 2020

This is the first book I’ve read by TL Swan and it definitely won’t be the last. In fact I didn’t realise The Takeover was the second book in a series so after finishing reading this book which, fortunately for me, can be read as a standalone I’ve now downloaded the first book and have no doubts I’ll be working my way through her backlist.

In The Takeover Claire Anderson is barely holding it together. After being suddenly widowed at a relatively young age, the only thing that is keeps her going is the desperation she has to hold onto the company her husband built up until their three sons are old enough to take control. Tristan Miles, head of acquisitions for his family empire and with a history of snatching up struggling businesses, now has his sights firmly fixed on Anderson Media and once he meets Claire that isn’t all he’s determined to acquire

I absolutely loved this book. It has elements of a hate/love relationship/second chance romance with a ‘when opposites attract’ vibe as on paper Claire is so far not Tristan’s type. His usual girlfriend would generally be some willowy model type who would put him first every time Here Claire is, an older woman, albeit barely, a widowed mother of three with all the entailing responsibilities that comes with them - he’ll always come last in her priorities. He should be running for the hills thanking his lucky stars for his narrow escape but he wants more and somehow they work as a couple. The chemistry between them is off the charts and I loved how they were able to laugh with each other. The dual point of view the author writes in means we get to see both sides of the story as their relationship develops. There were moments in this book that had me laughing out loud mostly those involving the interaction between Tristan and Claire’s sons especially when he got down to their level but then the mood would change as he sees just how deeply they all still grieve for their father in their own separate ways. This book was a definite joy to read and one I suspect I’ll be happy to reread again and again.

Hilarious and fun

Commenté au Royaume-Uni le 27 août 2020

An absolute joy from beginning to end. I laughed out loud throughout. The characters are delightful and the dialogue was just superb. I loved everything about it, the storyline, the characters, the hilarious banter and of course Harry tick tock.
It's got a bit of everything and it's a beautifully written romance.
It's easy to fall in love with these characters, they are all so warm and endearing.

A perfect reason to escape for a few hours, to get lost in a truly exceptional love story that may leave you feeling all fuzzy inside.

Five stars, I'd give it 50! Loved it.

HOT!!! Laugh out loud funny, and will make you cry

Commenté au Royaume-Uni le 30 août 2020

I read book 1, The stop over, a while back and loved it so much I pre ordered, The take over right away. The first book was really great, but this book is so much better. It had me in tears one minute and hysterical laughter the next. With my shoulders shaking and tears of laughter streaming, my husband thought I was going nuts! I loved the story, the characters are all likable, Claire was real woman with imperfections and so relatable, the kids were terrible and hysterical, Tristan's relationship with them is gold and just brilliant writing, and the whole book was just so much fun to read. Tristan Miles is so much more that just an alpha male. Oh may lord I love Tristan Miles. The things he does, the words he says, HOT!!! But there is so much more going on with him. There needs to be another book with his story continued (pretty please) because he is hilarious. This book is HOT!!!, fun, sexy, funny as hell and in between all of that, it takes you on an emotional roller coaster and makes you shed a few tears. Tears of joy and sadness. Did I mention this book is HOT!!! I can't recommend this book enough!!! A great all round read. I got it on kindle, I'll be ordering a paperback too as this is one I will read again and again. Now the long wait for the next book!! Bring on the other Miles Brothers.

Wow Tristan miles what can I say he knocks all the other alpha males right out of the park ! Miles brother no2 is smoking hot ..... w hours this story right from the start the emotional journey of Tristan and Claire and how their relationship develops and all the bumps along the way ... had some really laugh out loud moments ... had hubby wondering what the hell ... in early hours avid reading . Claire’s kids are a tonic and some really emotional moments with their bonding and family dynamics ... so relevant in this situation and handled with reality and flair. If you want a book to make you laugh and cry and smile with warmth and sizzle with sass this is for you ... so glad there is more Miles brothers hopefully here their stories too ... highly recommend another fantastic gem from ms Swan genius 😊

Brilliant, highly recommended

Commenté au Royaume-Uni le 20 septembre 2020

This is now my favourite TL Swan book, yes, even better the the Stanton series, I liked Tristan in The Stopover, even though he wasn’t really featured. Tristan tries to take over Claire’s company as the story starts, which leads to an unexpected meeting in France, this where their story begins, this book is amazing beginning to end, the characters, dialogue and interactions are hilarious, so many laugh out loud moments.
It was also touching , sad, at times an emotional journey.
I read this in under 2 days, couldn’t put it down.

My only complaint is that there was no epilogue, I was so disappointed, but maybe we are going to see more of this amazing family in a separate epilogue book or at very least other Miles brothers books.
