T L Swan has quickly become one of my go-to authors, and once again, her latest offering in the Miles High Club series doesn’t disappoint. For those of you who haven’t read the two previous books, I would go so far as to say that The Casanova can be read as a standalone. Why? Because while getting hooked on Elliot Miles and Kathryn Landon’s all-consuming story, the author’s narrative skills convinced me that the new reader would easily be able to pick up on the know-how.
Swan doesn’t beat around the bush. Taken aback to see that there weren’t any paragraph breaks, the pacing is faster than fast. Something else that stood out was the change in her protagonists’ voice fonts. Another one used for the text messages helped me differentiate between conversations—and ooh boy, was I sold! Whom, you may ask is opening their heart online. It was so pleasantly weird, I had little option but to do an all-nighter, and since I wanted to savour Swan’s story to the hilt, I had no qualms about reading until daft o’clock!
Swan delivers all the feels and so much more. I adored how Kate came across as the no-nonsense employee whose tolerance for her boss’s unrealistic expectations was questionable. She’s not just good, she’s the best—but beneath her work facade lies a stunningly beautiful and sensitive person. Much to Elliot’s chagrin, he can’t stop thinking about the woman he’d chosen to ignore for years. And then the fun begins. Yeap, observing them rub each other up the wrong way made me giggle heartily!
Where do I start with Elliot? No pun intended, but his layers are like peeling an onion that makes your eyes water. Some of his actions spoke louder than words and had me silently sobbing into my pillow! But if I lapped up the intolerant side of him, his vulnerability got the better of me. That said, this drop-dead gorgeous CEO who wants for nothing has a lot to answer for. Will all be forgiven? You’ll only find out by diving in with an open mind.
Being the banter snob that I am, Swan knocking all of her characters’ dialogue out of the park was an utter delight. And oh my, the animal scenes in perfect surroundings had me laughing out loud! Not only was this outstanding couple’s story cleverly put together, but the supporting role development bang on. Also, my heart suffered when the author saw fit, my smiles were at her every whim and to be honest, her prose left me in awe.
As my brain is running riot right now, I can’t say much more without spoiling this workplace enemies-to-lovers romance with a difference for you. However, what I’d like to mention are the quotes I’d highlighted. Seeing as it’s traditionally published, I had no wish to put my foot in it, but for the love of reading creative writing, this book overflows with emotional scenes and one-liners, great comebacks and hilarity! Last words; don’t think twice, one-click and enjoy Elliot and Kate’s journey. Bravo, Swan!

Dual POV. Book 3 in the continuing Miles High Club series. Rom-com, enemies-to-lovers, work place romance. I enjoyed the cameos from characters in TL Swan's previous books with updates on the 2 previous Miles High couples. This book does include an epilogue.Elliot (34, 35) is the third in birth order of the four Miles boys, guards his privacy fiercely, was nicknamed by the media as Casanova Miles, is an art lover, and the CEO of the UK branch of Miles Media. Kathryn (27; aka Kate) has worked in the IT department for Miles Media UK for 7 years, grief over the loss of her parents 6 years ago caused her to withdraw from socializing and seeking relationships. Kate stands up to Elliot at work and the two frequently butt heads until Elliot sees Kate in a new light. The twists in this book are very smart, just when I thought I figured it all out TL Swan proved me wrong. WELL DONE! This will definitely be a re-read for me.ARC from NetGalley. I also purchased the ebook, audiobook & the paperback. JP
