The Takeover

Actual rating: 5/5 stars

Swoon Sister Book Club August Pick: Single Parent Trope

I literally adored every page of this book. It was absolutely hilarious but also touched on really hard topics. I always need something extra in my contemporary romances to push them up to a 5 star and for me, that was the exploration of grief and moving on after loss. The two main characters were both absolutely amazing and I loved the kids. This gives me really similar vibes to Hero by Lauren Rowe which was on my favorites list of 2020 and this one has a chance to be on it too. If you really liked this I recommend Hero and vice versa.

Not as good as the first one, mostly because the main character has children and they ran most of the storyline, and I am child-free by choice, so I didn't like it. Other than that, they story line was OK, not as good as the first, but I like how it was longer and more developed than most of the other books I read. The ending was cute and had the prefect happily ever after that I love.

This one hit me right in the heartstrings. I love that this book felt more “real.” I just can't get over it and it's making me swoon. I love Tristan
