I thoroughly loved this romance novel. Great characters with lots of personality and humor. The adventures are very fun. The trials and tribulations are stressful. Gabriel has everything. He wants what he can't have, Gracie. This is a good story to read.

sweet book…
The twins, Lucia and Dominic, are cute and hilarious! This book had me smiling or frowning in every chapter! I loved the characters, especially the grouchy Gabriel! Loved how he thought his kids and his love were country bumpkins! 🤣 this book was unexpected and I really enjoyed it. I recommend you read it! I’m gonna read others from this author.

Emotional roller coaster. Swan never fails to deliver in yet another sweet, intelligent love story. She has the perfect balance and somehow always manages to take my heart through the ringer. The highs are high and the lows make you feel that gut wrenching pain you once felt when your heart was broken once upon a time. And yet, she manages to make you belly laugh and feel like you truly know these characters so much you wish they were real. I will never tire of reading her books. PLEASE NEVER STOP WRITING! Your stories are genuinely precious.

Excellent mix of passion and humor
One of my favorite authors, TLSwan has a gift for slowly exposing the weaknesses and pain within men who also hold positions of wealth and power and the women who love them despite their behavior.This story stretches out over a decade since the first meeting of the MCs to the threshold of their HEA. Hopefully stories of their life after the end of this book will carry on in other books.The characters are complex and troubled by past relationships and the blend of their personalities are both humorous and passionate when they come into conflict. Both demand respect and for Gabriel it is particularly challenging when his PA, Grace Porter, will set limits on how much he controls her outside of the office. She doesn't hesitate to sass him and he is both amused and frustrated by her wit. When she decides to resign after years of secretly loving him while he torments her by having her make arrangements for his hookup dates or send little gifts to his latest fling, a different side of Gabriel emerges. What results from their last meeting before she leaves NYC for Maine is the starting point for the rest of the story.Definitely worth the time to read.

All the stars for Gabriel and Gracie!
From the time that I read The Bonus novella in Tee’s Christmas anthology, I’ve been dying to read the rest of Gabriel and Gracie’s story. I wasn’t disappointed! I was immediately hooked to this story from the very first page and quickly devoured it in a few days. It’s been a long time since a book has kept me up past my bedtime. But I just couldn’t get enough of this book and couple! Their story was so addictive and angst filled from beginning to end. Not to mention, Gabriel and Gracie’s story was such an emotional rollercoaster with plenty of highs and lows. But I was so invested in these two that I loved every moment of it.The chemistry and banter between them was so good especially when things started to heat up! I also loved seeing how this grumpy billionaire took on fatherhood. Then there was the twins that brought plenty laughs and heartwarming moments to this story. Just seeing moments between Gabriel and the twins just tugged on my heartstrings especially in his growth as a father.Overall, I really enjoyed this book that I honestly didn’t want it to end. The Bonus is an unforgettable love story that will make you laugh, cry and swoon! This is one book you won’t want to miss.

great read
This was a first time Author for me. This was a really remarkable romance story between a hot blooded Italian boss who’s expected to marry an Italian virgin, and his Office Personal Assistant.It was a long book, that spanned almost a decade of their lives.I enjoyed it tremendously until I got to the end of the book. The Author wrote a note to pickup up a paperback copy of this book to get the final two surprise chapters,WTH. I already spent $5.00 for this book on my kindle app. It sounds like upselling to me, to ask me to spend another $15.95 at a book store for a hard copy of the book. Why couldn’t there simply be a link to BookFunnel to add the last two chapters.While I truly enjoyed this book. I’m not sure I will read this author again. Two additional chapters are not worth almost $16.00 to me .I gave the book an honest five stars for the story, but I’d give it no stars for the upselling gimmick at the end of the book.

Too long, and not fun at all
I expected to be fun, and interesting but it wasn't. Way too long to have that ending. I would have liked to have two romance in one like Mark and Deb life incorporated with the story just to make it more interesting. 555 pages of the same thing. Agh soo upset.

Annoyingly good!!
I devoured it in two days. It's the first time this has happened to me. I went through every emotion imaginable. Deeply. Normally I avoid pregnancy tropes, single mothers and the inclusion of children, but in this case it didn't bother me at all. In fact, in The Takeover it didn't bother me either (which shows the author's ability to tell stories and develop good characters). On that note, I'm usually annoyed by immature, alpha males like the MMC in this book, but Gabriel fascinated me and his tantrums came to seem cute and funny in the end. And Gabriel's POV extras? OMG. I am totally in love! I thought the development of the main characters was very well developed. Extra points to the author for developing those tropes so well, even a hater like me is hooked and in love with the story and the man.

I devoured this book
I am not going to lie, I put my life on hold for this book. Like, sit at my desk with my headphones on pretending to do online training while I read on my phone type of hold. (Don’t judge me, I’m self employed) I was hooked from the beginning and loved every page. I wanted so badly to hate Gabriel (I did a little) but I loved him too much. Grace was everything, sweet, strong, vulnerable. Everything about this book was perfect. TL Swan does not disappoint.

The bonus
An excellent read, couldn't put it down. Tee Swan has the ability to write about characters that are real as she has an understanding of us humans. Also written with much humor which is so good. Not many authors have that ability.

A bonus
I take my time reading books, so this was no different despite the hype. I was ready to despise the MMC throughout the book but found myself warming to him quicker than I had expected. The FMC, who I found sympathetic at first, started to grate on me at times. I suppose this is what makes the chemistry between them so good.I read the Kindle version, but have heard that there are final chapters which differ in the paperback version. Now I'm torn about ordering the paperback because I fear missing out on the discussions in online groups about the ending.
