The Stopover MILES HIGH CLUB #1

T. L. Swan2019
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 smart, suave, and sexy. We talked and flirted--and though the plane was unexpectedly grounded, we still felt sky high in each other's company. We danced and laughed our way around Boston...and had a night of crazy passion that no woman could forget. That was twelve months ago, and I haven't heard from him--until today. I started a new job and met the CEO. Imagine my surprise when I saw those naughty blue eyes gazing at me from behind his mahogany desk. But I'm not that carefree girl anymore. I have a boyfriend now, and responsibilities. Now he wants to see me in his office for a private meeting. How can I resist?

Not a big fan of the dickhead energy this guy Carrie’s through most of the book. The spice was decent, but couldn’t really finish because the guy was a control freak and they argued most of the time.

The beginning was great and I could see where the plot has potential however the characters are awful people with no development and honestly it was hard for me to finish. He is abusive and emotionally unstable, she is insecure and unable to take no for an answer.

low key toxic and not in a good way... Jameson is so stupid and made me want to rip my hair out. Then there were times when I got confused during scene changes because there wasn't anything but the next page dividing it. I did read it on my kindle so maybe that's why but I'm not sure

This book made me feel so many emotions, and I was so happy that I read this book. The beginning seems predictable but then one of the main characters does something that keeps you guessing. Then as the book progresses you start to think one thing, but then something else happens. Therefore, your left with more roller coaster emotions, it then you get attached to how Emily and Jameson treat each other. The reason I gave this book a 4 is because although the story kept you on your toes with your emotions, it also made you furious at the characters actions! I felt like they didn’t have to be that mean to each other. Jameson doesn’t deserve 5 stars after what he did. I was left furious with him like Emily !

My thoughts are very messed up right now because I hate Jameson no matter how good he talks/fucks, he's super toxic and Emily is stupid af. Girl talked about self respect all along and kept on going back and forth. Yeah yeah now he's changing and all. Idk I really hated the character of Jameson, the guy be hugging and kissing his ex but has a problem with Emily talking to somebody. At one point this toxicity was getting the worst out of me and i was so close to DNF this book but atlast i read it anyways ugh !! I'm giving 3 stars for the sake of spice and idk office romance trope !!

My fav book boyfriend - ❌

Spice - 🌶️🌶️🌶️

I didn't really like this at all. At first I was getting into it but towards the end I just found the fmc was extremely annoying with her low self worth and their relationship was extremely toxic. I also didn't like how the writer uses other words to describe the female anatomy, it started to get a bit confusing.

They really hated each other's guts in the beginning. As soon as one of them opened their mouth they started fighting. It was so entertaining I didn't even want them to hash it out haha I was ready for some weapons haha

I hate that he smirked all the time. There's so many things his face could do - smile, grin, laugh - but now it had to be a smirk every damn time. It came of so condescending I wanted to punch him in the throat lol

Any why did he lick his lip every minute. It came off as more creepy pervert than hot boss if you ask me. They had a one night stand a year ago and they have to act professional but he looks at her like a pedophile looks near a kindergarten. It was disgusting and disturbing and irritating and just WHY?

Being controlling of an employee that you slept with a year ago to the point you tell her what to wear is fucking insane. Who does he think he is? He has no right to be pissed. He can play his little power/domination thing with a girlfriend for all I care but not with someone who has said nothing but no to him yet. Creep.

The Jim and Jameson thing was a bit irritaing as well because it sounded like a personality disorder and I'm still not sure he didn't have one. "Living two men's life." Aha...sure

Aside from the constant smirking and licking lips, they snapped all the time as well. As if there aren't a hundred different words to describe talking, no, they have to snap every single time. Even when it doesn't even make sense. Who says something sweet but snaps it? It confused me a bit because, for me, snapping isn't the same as talking calmy but maybe that's a fault of mine lol Even if you can use "snap" for normal talking or even using it to ask someone a favor CAN THEY STOP? I don't want to read "she/he snaps" every five seconds. It was so annoying.

I'm on a roll with the repetitive stuff so here's another one. He rubbed his thumbnail over his bottom lip way too often. It doesn't help that I can't picture him doing it. I know the move and everything, it just looks weird in the situation they're in and comes across as creepy most of the time if I'm honest.

The "telling jerk" was another one of my nemeses🥲 WHY just WHY

They did a U-turn from saying let's be fuck buddies to marrying each other lol One day he said don't fall in love with me and literally the next week he said I love you and move in with me. What?! It was a bit sudden haha completely out of the blue

Just as fast as he was all in he was all over. "Move on, I have." WHAT? That asshole. He claims to love her but didn't even hear her out for a second. Shitface. Personally, I wouldn't have taken him back.

The audacity he had to just hit her up after 15 days of complete silence and she just said yes and they fucked😭 He didn't even say sorry which would have been a shit apology but at least SOMETHING.

All he said was 'Hi' and it was enough ... Emily, girl, know your worth!

And he let her believe they were back together when in reality he only used her for breakup sex🙃 WHO DOES THAT?? That's so disgusting, no groveling on earth could convince me to take him back. Especially with the attitude he had when they were good and in love.

He needs therapy.

He seriously asked her if she wants a lift somewhere after he fucked her and broke her heart. He is a joke. Even her loser boyfriend before was better which means the bar is basically in hell. And then the nerve to ask her for a friendship. He went completely crazy if he thinks she would appreciate yellow roses after what he did. Keep in mind he still never apologized even in the slightest. Asshole.

The harrassing to make her forgive him wasn't cute at all. AND HE STILL DIDN'T APOLOGIZE. No wonder she didn't take him back. Prick. I would've gotten a restraining disorder. They say his heart is cold, well, he wouldn't be ready for when I'm pissed off lol He could say goodbye to his hobby fucking her whenever he feels like it.

I give it to him you have to have some serious nerve to actually say the words "Jesus, calm down" out load seconds after she agreed to hear you out only because she didn't want you to touch her. Never have I seen this kind of audacity. He must have a death wish. I swear if I was with him and he would've smirked during his apology - which he did (I was fuming with anger) - I would've ended his life then and there. She is either a saint or a doormat.

Probably the latter. She lets him walk all over her.

I was so annoyed she forgave him after a 5 minute speech where he mostly talked about himself. Just fuck off and be miserable. See if I care. I promise you I won't. My sleep would be deep and relaxing after hearing he got run over by a bus that lacked oil which set him on fire and then he tragically died a slow and painful death. It would probably be the best sleep ever.

At least she was annoyed with herself, too. Didn't matter much tho, she still let him use her.

She was such a push-over. She really let him give her an ultimatum. THE AUDACITY. I really prayed they wouldn't work it out because for a while it seemd like they didn't. Sadly, they did.

Maybe it's me but I didn't like how he called her his fuck bunny in the end. After everything he put her through she deserves to be called more than a fuck bunny.

All in all the book was very repetitive, the fmc was a total push-over, the mmc was a smug asshole and the news plot was lacking. Would not recommend. Way too many pages for this shit. I was bored and I do not know for the life of me why I finished it. I guess I was being stubborn and wanted to back up my negative review by saying I actually read the whole thing. Well, I did and it was bad haha

No. Whoever told you to read this book, lied to you. They hate you.

Jameson is atrocious. Emily can sometimes be, such a pushover—it’s infuriating.

Also why in the ever loving fuck did the author think it’s okay to crack jokes about being drugged and raped??

*Can you go out of the room so I can drug your food now?” I ask. “I plan on robbing your place.”

He chuckles. “Only if you promise to take advantage of my body while I’m sleeping.”

I giggle. “Deal.”*

What the fuck is this?? No one would giggle at such a fucked up joke.

I’ll admit Jameson got funny towards the ending. But christ, he was such a pain in the ass. He used her so much and she allowed it. Sometimes, it felt like she was a Tate 2.0 but at least she stuck up for herself when he fucked things up too much.

He was so sex-minded for so much of the book, I gagged. I didn’t realize a female author could actually write so disgustingly about a man.

Men written by women are my favorite people but not Jameson, I hate him.

low 3/5 Ok the first half of this book gave me hella whiplash. Even though I enjoyed this novel the constant back and forth bickering was a bit much. It all felt very unnecessary. Despite that I still very much devoured this book. I’m not crazy about Jim, Jameson, Jay (were all the names necessary lol) I found myself cheering for Em for how much she was making this man grovel. I honestly would’ve been ok if it all didn’t work out in the end with how callous and harsh he was throughout the 2nd half. I’m a sucker for an office romance, so it hit its mark for me. Did I love it? Eh. Will I be thinking about this book tomorrow? Probably not. It was average for me, but can’t say I totally disliked it. Will probably read the next book solely because I’m on a romance kick.

never. NEVER. Trust a mf from booktok with book recommendations, especially romance books, that white girl is not seeing the pearly gates of heaven for making me start this book in good faith. This book is supposed to be a cutesy office romance with rich guy x poor girl trope it was anything but, i dont know what beef the author got with the main character to make so fucking annoying, bland and out of touch. I also don't want to know what kind of men the author finds attractive because holy hell this guy needs to be IN JAIL behind bars but im supposed to find him swoony i guess. The love interest, jim jamerson jay whatever his name is, is fucking horrifying he is a misogynistic little fuck who has no respect for the main character -not that she has any for herself for that matter- (he calls her a bitch like 60 times) his behavior is just so ??????? like im supposed to like this man????? What the hell? “You’ve been watching me?” I gasp. “Why?” His dark eyes hold mine. “Because it turns me on.” Ladies and gentleman this is the correct way a boss checks on his favorite employee 🤩🤩 by placing a camera right above her desk and get mad when she interacts with other male coworkers 🤪 and they say romance is dead. “If I were a rapist, that’s what I would do.” um..(?) For the love of God if a man you're seeing says this to you please PLEASE RUN AND DONT EVER LOOK BACK BECAUSE WHAT THE FUCK why would he even entertain the thought let alone say it out loud to the woman he is "romancing" i just...these white guys concern me so much. "Are we friends?" "No you're my fuck bunny" ahahaha 😃😃😃 mom come pick me up this is what people think romance is these days. I could have dnfed the book and went about my day but that wont do. Being a petty hater is much more fun.

i don’t understand how this book has such a high rating. nothing really happened, and i was annoyed most of the time. i didn’t connect with any of the characters, it was kinda sad. tbh it was boring and the dialogue was weird at times. SOOO PREDICTABLE the only thing i liked was that it was fast paced and it didn’t take 200 years before something between the characters.

Maybe my expectations are too high from my book boyfriends in my romance novels—maybe Jameson was right on that one. But damn it, I want the fucking fairy tale for once.

Fueled by a need for revenge, they stupidly decided to frame Jameson Miles for the crime. In the backfire of all backfires, this decision sealed their fate. The pair will be serving prison time of ten years in different state prisons.

Which serious newspaper would say "stupidly" that's so subjective😂 looks like someone was petty writing this💀

He glares at me. “Why are you such a fucking bitch?”

“Because you’re a self-centered asshole. Get the hell out!” I scream. I pick up a pillow and throw it at him.

He brushes past me in a rush. “Nobody treats me as bad as you do, Emily!” he yells as he storms toward the door.

“Because you pay them!” I screech. “Good thing you’ve got lots of money, Jameson. You’re going to need it . Nobody would put up with your shit for free.”

They truly hate each other lmao💀

My phone rings, and the letter J lights up the screen. I saved his initial so I’d know if he calls me. I pick up my phone and hit decline, and then I smile sweetly at the camera, knowing full well he’s watching me.

I did not just break up with one selfish asshole to go out with another. He can kiss my ass.

Here's to hope she has a backbone and they don't fuck in 5 minutes lol

“Because there’s another man who does.”
