The Stopover by TL Swan | Audiobook Review

11/07/2022

The Stopover: The Miles High Club Book 1 by TL Swan

Narrated by CJ Bloom and Sebastian York

1st Standalone in a related series. Adult Contemporary.

I grabbed The Stopover by TL Swan because the audiobook was in KU, and I have heard good things about the author’s books. Plus, Sebastian York and CJ Bloom narrating? Yes please. *Note: my plot description doesn’t go any further than the blurb does.

The first ⅓ of the book was so amazing I thought it would be a 5-star read. When Emily is upgraded to First Class for her flight from London to NY, she didn’t also expect to expect to be seated next to a gorgeous and charming man. After flirting the entire flight, the plane gets sent to Boston because of a snowstorm. So Emily and “Jim” spent an amazing night in Boston together, but never exchanged last names or numbers.

Fast forward a year later and Emily is finally hired as a reporter at Miles Media, a company she has always wanted to work at. When she is introduced to one of the three CEO brothers, she is shocked to find that Jameson Miles is her “Jim” from a year ago that she couldn’t stop thinking about. Whaaaaat? She is a REPORTER, interviewing for her DREAM JOB and she never googled the owners? I call bullshit.

“You must have done something stupid in your life, Jameson Miles.”
He smiles softly over at me in the darkness. “Yeah. I have.”
“What?” I smirk.
He reaches over and cups my face in his hand, and his thumb dusts over my bottom lip. “I never asked for your number.”

Emily has a boyfriend now and Jameson demands she break up with him. Then he starts spying on her through hidden cameras in the office. One minute he wanted her, and the next he was a total douchecanoe. When they finally do get together, it’s even worse. This guy is just a total asshole—he blows hot and cold, shuts her out and gaslights her. Emily doesn’t lay back and take it, she is feisty and fights back. But she always takes this jerk back. Granted, there were times he was all hot and alpha, but mostly he was a borderline alcoholic alphahole.

This book was long, 14 hours! Usually a love a long audiobook because if I love it I don’t want it to end. But The Stopover could have been cut almost in half and still relay a good story. It became very repetitive after a while, and even the sex scenes got boring.

Likes:

  • The audiobook is in KU.
  • I loved how they first hooked up, and all the flirting that lead to it.
  • I’d like to know more about the other brothers.
  • Had a ton of potential.
  • Great banter and one-liners.
  • The camping trip was funny (though he was such a pussy!)

Dislikes:

  • All of the back and forth fighting and jealousy and getting back together.
  • The sex scenes got boring.
  • Lots of repetition, both of words and scenes.
  • Way too long for the story.
  • Some story points that never really wrapped up.
  • The dirty talk was a little cringey.

The Narration:

The narration is what kept me listening and helped make me like this book a little more than if I read it. Though it was mostly CJ Bloom, Sebastian York was perfect for Jameson.

The Down & Dirty:

What started as a 5-star read gradually went south as I listened to the 14 hour book. There was enough story to fill half that and the rest was repetitive fluff. At first I rooted for Jameson and Emily, I loved their meet-cute and banter. But by the end I found the relationship way too toxic. I do, however, want to read about Jameson’s brothers, and since the next two audiobooks are also in KU, I may just give the next one a try.

Rating: 3 stars, 4 Heat, 5 Narration

Purchase The Stopover by T.L. Swan

Both the book and audiobook are part of the Kindle Unlimited Program.

The Protector by @authorsusanstoker was so easy to The Protector by @authorsusanstoker was so easy to get sucked right into. It’s a little cheesy and formulaic but that didn’t stop me from gobbling it up like addictive candy. Despite insta-love, 3rd person, corny lines and predictability, I still could not stop listening and loving it, almost like a guilty pleasure. I have already downloaded the next in the series, The Royal, and I can tell you I will be grabbing the rest of the series as they release. I’m HOOKED.

BONUS: Both the book and the audiobook are in Kindle Unlimited!

My in depth reviews always explain the reason for My in depth reviews always explain the reason for my ratings without spoilers. They also have my likes and dislikes and a brief down and dirty review. I am very honest, even if I don’t like a book from an author I’m friendly with. I review every book I finish and try to keep it as positive as possible. There are nice(ish) ways to say you hate a book! I do not accept money for positive reviews, but I do offer advertising that does not influence my ratings. 

These were my September reviews but I may sneak in another 1-2 tonight. Check them all out at anasattic.com

Anonymous Mom Posts by @jenifergoldinwrites may be Anonymous Mom Posts by @jenifergoldinwrites may be one of my favorite books of 2023. It’s so unique and fun! It’s about a local Facebook moms group and focuses on 6 different women in the neighborhood. Each chapter starts with a post and comments, and I thought it was a fun and unique read!

I wholeheartedly enjoyed Kissing Kosher by Jean Me I wholeheartedly enjoyed Kissing Kosher by Jean Meltzer and would recommend it to anyone Jewish or wanting to learn about being Jewish. I would recommend it for anyone with chronic pain as well. Though there were a few issues I can pick at (see my review for details) I very much enjoyed the listen, and I think it may be my favorite of Jean Meltzer’s three releases.

Formula 1 is by far the sexiest sport. I don’t k Formula 1 is by far the sexiest sport. I don’t know why we don’t have more romances set in racing and I’m so glad @kbromberg has set her latest series in my favorite sport. Riggs started off not-so-good but completely won me over with his sweet, fun, lighthearted personality. I laughed and I cried. It was slow-burn, but the last 25% had me riveted and I hate to wait until January for the next in the Full Throttle Series.
