A memorable night of passion refuses to stay just a memory in this sizzling and scandalous romance from bestselling author T L Swan.I was upgraded to first class on a flight from London to New York.The food, champagne, and service were impeccable. The blue-eyed man sitting next to me, even better. He was suave and intelligent. We talked and laughed, and something clicked. Fate took over and the … and something clicked.
Fate took over and the plane was grounded, and we had an unexpected stopover for the night.
With no plans, we made our own.
We danced and laughed our way around Boston and had a night of crazy passion that no woman would ever forget.
That was twelve months ago, and I haven’t heard from him—until today.
I started a new job and met the CEO. You can imagine my surprise to see those naughty blue eyes dance with delight when he saw me across the mahogany desk.
But I’m not that carefree girl anymore. My life has changed, I have responsibilities.
I just got an email.
He wants to see me in his office for a private meeting at 8:00 a.m.
Naughty blue eyes have no place in the workplace.
What kind of private meeting does he have in mind?

4.5 STARS REVIEW

Book #1 of the Miles High Club series
“Welcome to the Miles-High Club… Dear God, I thought he meant sex-in-a-plane club… he meant women who had slept with him.”
by Emily
WHAT HAS REALLY WORKED FOR ME
Addictiveness: 5/5 This book hooked me from the beginning until the end. it kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what would come next. As addictive as chocolate!!!
Character: hero 4.5/5, heroine 4.5/5, secondary characters 5/5, growth 5/5, real 5/5 Characters were multidimensional, with several layers to them. They have shown personal growth throughout the story and they were easy to connect and understand.
Jameson was a hot, alpha billionaire not used to hear the word NO. He was a workaholic used to one night stands and casual flings. From the beginning his attraction to Emily was very powerful and a lot more than he knew what to do with. He was always saying he wanted something, but acting totally different from his own speech. He was used to boss people around and didn’t know how to react to Emily’s strong personality. He grew a lot during the story and his personal journey was really lovely to read.
Emily was young, hardworking, with a strong personality and ambitious. She had a dream job and really worked to get it. She was used to be the strong one of a relationship, not really used to mature men that had his life figured out. She was very stubborn and had difficult to accept that Jameson was the more experienced of the two. At the same time, she was very loyal and very patient with him. She was a good, strong heroine, and exactly what Jameson needed to balance his personality.
All four Miles men were hot, powerful and dreamy. Can’t wait to read their stories, specially Tristan. I have to say that I have also loved Jameson’s parents. It was refreshing to read a book of billionaires that the family was not dysfunctional.
All characters were easy to love, connect and understand.
Cover: art 4/5, title 5/5, color-font 5/5, buy 5/5 I’m obsessed with book covers. I love to find snippets of the stories within the art. This is a good cover. I can totally see how this could be Jameson holding his iPhone. That guy is sexy and classy. I love the colors, the yellow giving a gold vibe makes it richer, proper for a billionaire. I’ve loved the title, really important for the story. I would easily buy this book by its cover, without needing to read the blurb!
Freshness: 4.5/5 This has an original concept and it felt very new. To bring something different for a contemporary romance is hard, but the author did it really well. As fresh as mint tea.
Plot: believable 5/5, conflict 4/5, dialogue 5/5, ending 5/5, enjoyment 5/5, opening 5/5, pace 5/5, setting 5/5, subplots 4/5, twists 4/5 Amazing opening great ending. A very believable plot with wonderful dialogue. A fast paced romance with great setting. The idea of the conflict was good, but the solution was a too much convoluted. Very high level of enjoyment!
Romance: believable 5/5, chemistry 5/5, description 5/5, development 5/5, steam 5/5 O.M.G! This book was hot!!! Really this couple couldn’t be in the same room together because their chemistry was intense. So many amazing scenes with great descriptions and very believable. There was a lot of smut in the book, but it all felt very pertinent to the story.
Writing Style: 5/5 Crafty writing! Refreshing plot, great characters, wonderful romance with panty-wetter smut. Clean, cohesive writing that kept me wanting more.
WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER
Villains… there were not enough background on them, and I would like to know more about them.
Conflict… the idea was great, I just think how it was all executed it was too convoluted.
MY THOUGHTS
Ms. Swan knows her craft and does it really well.
She created a billionaire’s romance that was completely believable and never forced.
She wrote a hot romance with lot of smut that never felt excessive.
The book didn’t feel long, even though it says it was.
Can’t wait for the next!!!
33/35 STARS – 4.5 STARS (between 31.5 stars and 33 stars)

Would I recommend? Sure. If you like romance and enjoy smut, this is a must!
Would I re-read this book/series? Yes. I’m certain I will follow the series and I would reread the book.
Would I read more from the author? Yes. In fact, I’m really looking forward to.
You may read this because you like the author; you SHOULD read this because you enjoy great characters; you MUST read this for an amazing love story!!!
Okay so, this book is pretty addictive. And my first TL book.
I’ve been reading reviews about her books and some people don’t like them.
Well I’m here to tell there’s no OW drama or a doormat heroine here. Nope she’s pretty kickass at giving the hero hell! When they fight it’s 100x funny.
But . . .
Isn’t there always one, their fights are kind of petty and immature but . . . Ah ha there’s a butt again.
There is a bit of drama but it has nothing to do with another woman or man for that matter.
I thoroughly enjoyed these two characters.
Here’s why:
These two have a meet cute and it starts a passion that you know is coming.
Emily is a investigative journalist. And on her way home from a wedding when she meets a man in first class.
Jim is not entirely how she expected him to be. He’s carefree and handsome. They ending up spending the night together. But never expect to see each other again until she they see each other again a year later.
Miles Media is the largest media company in the US. Her career is going to take off or so she thinks until she meets the CEO. Her one-night stand is none other than Jim.
Knocking both of them for a loop, the navigate the cesspool of knowing they have been intimate with each other. That doesn’t stop Jim from pursuing her into a FWB relationship.
But is that truly achievable? Idk. You know what to do to find out.
Let me tell you about the hero, Jim. He is not your typical rich egoistical manwhore. Once he’s in it, he’s in it. There are no ifs ands or buts. He doesn’t sleep around or cheat. And I really liked that about him.
“I could be anything, Emily Foster . . . as long as I’m with you.”
Yes. Oh FYI: he’s not a camping person. That was funny.
ARC generously given by Netgalley and Montlake Romance.
Another amazing 5 star story by TL Swan. Since I discovered this author a few months ago, I can’t seem to get enough of her great stories.
Emily met Jim on a plane, they have a stopover due to bad weather. They connected and spent an unforgettable night together. Now a year later they meet again. He owns the company she started working for. Things are about to get very interesting.
This was a very humorous kind of story. Jim is a broody, stressed out CEO. She doesn’t take his crap and she’s not a pushover. The bantering between these 2 is quite funny and highly entertaining.
Beautifully written with a seamless plot that sucked me in the world of the imagination. I was addicted and entertained until the very last page read. The characters were perfectly created. It is also suspenseful. Bottomline this is a must read.
Standalone told in a dual POV with an HEA. I strongly recommend this story.
This is my first TL Swan read but I know it won’t be my last. I love finding new to me authors at I know I will search out again. The Stopover is the beginning of the Miles High Club and if you are about a bossy alpha male then I think you should check out this series. You will meet the four Miles brothers and they are used to getting what they want. In this book we have Jameson the CEO as our lead.
As the CEO for Miles Media Jameson is too busy for love and relationship. So when an attractive woman who honestly doesn’t know who he is, he lets his guard down a little and decides to have some fun during the long flight from London to New York. He wasn’t prepared for the longing and feelings that would stick with him long after he was gone. Pleasantly surprised a year later when she shows up as their newest employee.
Emily has been working towards her dream job at Miles Media for years. Finally after many interviews and a year later she has finally landed that job. She is jumping right into the management floor. Moving herself from California to New York alone to follow her dreams. Imagine her surprise when she is taken in the CEO’s office for introductions and finds Jim her life changing one night stand during a layover.
This book was a constant push and pull between a bossy man used to getting what he wants, including woman falling at his feet and a smart sassy young woman who is independent, refusing to be pushed around. As they navigate their way into each others lives slowly, they are meet with company issued to add to the stresses. Will they be able to ride the waves and come out unharmed and together or will waves cause Jameson to choose business over love? Ms. Swan does a great job of mixing in some suspense throughout this book, that will keep you reading to the end to see what really happened.
I wonder which Miles brother will get his story next?

One of the best romances this year!
What a terrific book! Strong, sexy characters, corporate intrigue, an amazing cast of friends and co-workers, loads of witty and intelligent humor, and a writing style that had me hooked from the very first line. Jameson’s pursuit of Emily nearly borders on harassment, except that she can’t say, even to herself, that it’s unwanted. Still, she’s no pushover, and has no trouble standing her ground and defending her priorities.
I really enjoyed the complex story, and I appreciated the fact that their “one night stand, one year ago” didn’t result in the far-too-common secret baby trope. This story doesn’t take any of the predictable paths, instead taking the reader on a truly unique adventure, a romance that is everything a love story should be while still feeling fresh and original. The HEA perfectly ties up all the story threads and leaves us wishing for our own entry to the Miles High Club. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
Oh my word TL Swan you have done it again. WOW and WOW…The Stopover was amazing.
There isnt a book that TL Swan has written that I can say deserves anything less then 5 stars. Hell woman if I could give more then I would.
I loved the story of Jamison and Emily. This kind of love is only found in books it seems. Somehow I now get the urge to get on a plane hoping to meet this steamy hot specimen of a male.
Just like any other rich bad boy Jamison thinks he is not good enough for Emily. Loving her then pushing her away to protect her just drove me insane. Just loved the way he begged her to take him back. The part with the Yellow Roses made me laugh and I thought you go girl but at the same time feeling sorry for Jamison.
As we have have it Love overcomes all obstacles.
I highly recommend TL Swan to anyone looking for a awesome read. This author never disappoints.
I absolutely loved The Stopover by TL Swan. I don’t know how she manages to write such amazing stories and loveable characters. Jameson is an arrogant alpha and CEO of Miles Media. Emily is a sassy reporter looking to land her dream job. I adored Emily and Jameson’s story from their very first meeting and loved how it progressed. There was the perfect amount of push and pull between Emily and Jameson that made for some hot chemistry. I cannot wait to read about the other brothers.
I am such a fan of TL Swan and love the way she pulls you in and makes the characters and story so exciting .
I chance meeting in first class on a plane that leads to one night between Emily and Jameson. It is fun, flirty, exciting and when then end up on a stopover it is down right steamy.
Although they go their separate ways and fate steps in !!! It is complicated, mysterious and a fight at every turn but the attraction may be too much for either of them. They can stay or walk away but friendship is not an option !!Loved it !!

You know when someone tells you that a book is freaking amazing? Well, this book IS that amazing and more! I absolutely fell in love with Emily and Jameson. I mean I am honestly saying that they are up there with TL Swan Royal couple – Natasha and Joshua! Their instant attraction is butterfly inducing and the heat between them is way over boiling point. Jameson is an alpha male but Emily is most definitely not a pushover by any means. If you’re a TL Swan reader you will know to expect a masterpiece of love, passion, drama, heartache and of course much hilarity. Anyone new to TL Swan – read The Stopover and welcome to the family.

If it is a story that will equally have you going crazy and falling in love then get yourself prepared for one smile inducing stopover.
Passion Drama Mystery Terrific Characters Amazing descriptions Romance Angst Emotional RollerCoaster
All of these can be found in this fabulous new story by this author.
Jameson Miles and Emily Foster meet on a plane and find themselves instantly attracted to each other. They have such fantastic chemistry, so super charged, but both having fiery tempers they also find themselves fighting just as passionately.
Jameson is a workaholic CEO with exceptionally high stress levels, thus the quick temper. He is fit, good looking and intelligent but not interested in relationships due to his work hours. This author can create arrogant alpha males like no other I’ve read and boy did she succeed with Jameson. I truly wanted to give him a swift kick a few times and that’s me being polite!
Emily is a sassy, stylish, beautiful and intelligent journalist who isn’t into casual one-night flings but considers a ‘booty bunny’ arrangement with Jameson. I enjoyed her sense of fair play as well as honesty but at times wanted to hand her a jug full of ‘top shelf’ margarita with everything she went through.
Sprinkled throughout the story is some fantastic humour especially when Emily decides to help Jay out. She has a smart mouth and her comebacks are priceless. Jameson has a very dry wit too. This balances the mystery and drama in the story. As things become more tangled the web of deceit grows bigger and bigger making it decidedly more interesting and exciting.
I love how one minute you can feel excited and even turned on then the next a totally different emotion. You certainly go through an extensive range of emotions. I’m already looking forward to reading about the next Mikes brother.
Above everything else this is a love story, pure and simple but true love doesn’t always follow a simple plan!
Undeniable immediate attraction, push & pull, mystery and angst. T.L. Swan at her finest! I was pulled in from the get go and could not put this down!
This was such an entertaining book.
I loved every minute of it.
Jameson is a sexy rich as hell controlling alpha.
Emily is a feisty sassy strong willed lady.
So together these two were absolutely combustible!
I loved their banter.
I loved the chemistry between them.
And yes I loved their drama too!
The Stopover by T L Swan
Book 1 The Miles High Club
5 Stars
So many twists and turns and very emotional roller coaster. Captivated my interest throughout. Lots of humor and romance.
Highly recommend.
My Emotional Rollercoaster! I love Jameson, I hated Jameson, I loved Jameson…and then I dreamt he was mine. Fantastic story with lovable and hatable characters. I couldn’t put it down as I apparently missed dinner and a full night of sleep reading this love story. It was worth every minute! I can’t wait for Tristan’s story.
This was such a great standalone romance read. I enjoyed Emily and Jameson’s story a lot. It was full of action and entertainment from the very beginning. Their conversations were interesting and their story was a steamy one. I laughed a lot while reading this story. Their back and forth banter was non-stop from beginning to end and although I loved the banter, when it came to their relationship their back and forth was a lot at times. I wanted them to make a choice and stick with it. However, the ending was sweet and I defintiely look forward to reading Tristan’s story in the next book because I enjoyed his character a lot in this story. This story is one that is worth reading.
I truly enjoy anything TL Swan. Her writing is beyond amazing, I have no words to describe the feelings she gives while reassign. Her characters always become part of you, that once you finish you won’t stop thinking about them.
Every book I’ve read from Swan is a different story yet filled with the same excitement and enjoyable moments. I was hooked from the start.
You’ll love this story and the characters. I so hope more of this world is to come because this book was incredible.
I became a big fan of T. L. Swan’s writing after reading her book MR. MASTERS. That remained my very favorite, but I think after reading, THE STOPOVER, it is right up there with that book. There is a camping scene in this book that is just hilarious. I was laughing so much, that I had to stop and read the entire camping part to my husband. He was laughing, too. He didn’t have to know anything else about the characters. It was that good! It was my favorite part of the book. There are other parts of the book that were good, and a good deal of angst. But the book was worth reading for just that camping part alone.
Emily Foster was on a flight to New York, City. Due to an ugly incident in the airport, Emily is moved up to first class. This was a real treat for her. Also it was a treat to be sitting next to the best looking man, she ever had the pleasure to meet. Each glass of champagne only seemed to make him even more attractive. The flight to N.Y. City was rerouted due to bad weather. That is how Emily and “Jim” ended up sleeping together in Boston. Thus the title: THE STOPOVER.
Emily knew she would always remember this magical night. Then “Jim” ups and leaves for a flight back to N.Y. City first thing in the morning. She was certain that he had felt the insane chemistry and attraction that she had experienced. It was the best mind-blowing sex of her life. And by the way he couldn’t get enough, she knew he had enjoyed it, too. But then why did he leave without even getting her phone number?? Since she had missed her job interview in New York, it was a perplexed and disappointed young woman who boarded a plane to return home to L.A.
A year passes, when Emily is finally in N.Y. She now has the opportunity of all opportunities. A job with Miles Media. It is the biggest conglomerate media empire in the United States and one of the largest in the world. The biggest surprise is when she meets her new boss. Jameson Miles has inherited control of the family empire: Miles Media Holdings. He walks around his desk and holds his hand out to shake hers, and introduces himself as “Jameson Miles.” Emily suddenly realizes, It’s him! He is the layover guy who never asked for her number. She would have been more shocked if she knew what he considered the stupidest thing he had ever done. It was never asking for her number!
This book was a pleasant surprise! I’ve never read TL Swan before, but I definitely plan on devouring the rest of this series. It was refreshing and extra entertaining to have such strong-minded and fiesty characters. Jameson can be combative and moody, and is used to getting his way. Well, Emily is definitely no submissive wallflower. She’s sassy, fiesty, not afraid to speak her mind. The back and forth banter was fantastic and real, and sometimes frustrating. I definitely wanting to shake these two at points.
What I wasn’t expecting, though, was to cry. Okay, so this love story isn’t the kind with one big problem that eventually is resolved with a HEA. There were multiple bumps and bruises they had to move past together. However, in the last 30% or so, the heartache Em and Jim faced broke me. Tears running down my face.
I loved every minute of The Stopover and had a hard time putting it down. I can’t wait for the next book!
Just when you think T.L. can’t top the last book, she pulls out the magic and knocks you on your feet. You take 2 chance meetings, an undeniable chemistry, add in a rich CEO who wants to impress & a girl who’s not impressed by his money and you have a recipe for an amazing book. Make no mistake this has all the heat you are used to with a T.L. book on top of everything. Like all of her books you will read this fast and furiously and then you’ll be done and sad so you’ll reading all over again, this time taking it a little slower and soaking it all in. Another T.L. book that I will reread all the time! Her characters are so strong, you will feel connected to them from the start.
I received an ARC in return for my honest review
