Stanton Adore (Stanton Series Book 1)

T.L. Swan has quickly become one of my very favorite authors! All of her books that I’ve read so far are the perfect mix of spicy and swoony!I couldn’t pick just one quote from this book, so see below for a few of my favorites!“Soul mates don’t finally meet somewhere at a certain place at a certain time, they’re in each other, all along.”———“And to my soul mate,” he raises his glass, “who has been with me all along, but is absent from my side.”———“I went to bed with a ten and woke up with a twelve. Why wouldn’t I be kissy?”

This is yet another book that has been sitting on my Kindle for years and I decided to read it. I wish I could say I loved it but alas I cannot. It started out good with Josh and Natasha reuniting after 7 years but then it just started getting annoying. All they did was have sex. They rarely went out together and when they got to America, Natasha couldn't even be seen with him. They bickered like children and instead of talking it out, they had sex and all was right in the world. And, there is a major cliffhanger at the end. I don't normally mind them as long as I know there is one. I won't be spending any more money on this series. I can watch my kids argue for free.

While I sometimes want to smack Joshua upside his head. I mostly find that he is somewhat irresistible. I’m pretty sure Natasha has similar feelings, except she truly loves him with her entire being. Josh’s feelings for Natasha mimic hers. They have ALOT to overcome and I look forward to taking the journey with them.

I really hate to be as honest as I'm about to be, but I was so frustrated with this read. Whoever is T L Swan's editor should be FIRED. Seriously, i don't think ANY eyeballs touched this book until after publication. The storyline has so much great potential, but I can't get past the fact that it was like a ten year-old edited this.

Wow, I feel like I have just spent the weekend with Natasha, Joshua, Bridget, Abbie, Cameron, Adrian, Max and Ben and what a weekend it was! I knew early into this book I would need to read Natasha and Josh’s story through to the end. I was bummed out to find out the final book isn’t available yet, but the author has said it should be available soon.This book is fabulous. It has what I adore in a fun book: there is humor, passion, steamy sex and fun Australian slang (thank goodness for Urban Dictionary). In addition to a very well developed story line between Natasha and Josh, I loved all the supporting characters and getting to know them also. The minute I finished book 1 I started on book 2 – but be warned – book 1 ends in a bit of a cliff hanger.

Omg what a cliffhanger. I need the next book right now!!! I cannot tell you how much I loved this book. I've been sitting her tryin to find the perfect words to describe this story. Mystery, passion, heartache, heartbreak, hot sex, dirty talking, alpha male, love, secrets, and yes possible incest. Holy cow this book is full of everything. I literally could not put it down. Natasha and Josh have been above since they were teenagers. And neither of them have been able to find that kind of love since then. Now seven years later they are reunited. And let me tell you the fireworks are astounding. This book will blow you away. Amazing. Truly amazing!

Josh and Tash are electric! Their love for each other is just unbelievable it’s like does love like this exist in real life? When you know everything about it is wrong but your heart won’t let you walk away. I think that’s the definition of true unconditional love ❤️

T L Swan, I am simply addicted to your writing.I am a fan instantly. I can't keep away from the words written before me. I needed to know what happens next, Now!! I'm off to read the next book in this series.... I feel every emotion. This is a rare gift that T L Swan has... she keeps her readers interested, invested, wrapping her words to tell the story of the love between two soul mates.

If you're expecting to read a clever, stimulating, romantic novel interwoven with a bit of erotica, forget it! This is just page after page of repetitive porn-tat. The characters are shallow, the plot-lines entirely predictable, and they use foul language as everyday-speak; not just to raise the erotic temperature when needed. It may appeal to teenagers or 20-somethings looking for simple titillation, but for grown-ups who have lived a bit and can understand proper novels, it's total rubbish! Avoid....and all its sequels as well, I would suggest.

Oh my god! What a page turner!This series has become one of my favourites. I love Natasha’s and Joshua’s journey so so much! I must admit, it does give you whiplash with the back and forth of the love/hate relationship (even though, they never truly hate each other).First love forced apart by family and opportunities, reunited at a wedding. I loved every minute of this series and wish I could go back and experience it for the first time all over again. Definitely will be on for my permanent collection and rereads.

This is a tale of true love. Deep, soul crushing love. After seven years apart, Joshua and Natasha come face to face. They have been unable to erase each other from their systems. The chemistry between them is off the charts.At times, they both annoyed the crap out of me. I wanted to slap them both, up the head. The back and forth and continuous frustrations were worth it though. I needed to turn the page, like I needed my next breath. I was on the edge of my seat, desperate to see where this story would go and how it would play out.The secrets, the lies, the love, the hatred, the heartbreak (my god, the heartbreak!) all make this story one heck of a ride.My advice is, only start this if you have time to read all the books, because each one will consume you and make you forget real life.

Unfortunately, I'm giving this a 4* rating unlike my other 5* ratings of this author's work.Up until the 22% mark, Joshua's pov is in the third person, which is quite distracting as Natasha's is in first.There are a few formatting issues, but overall I love the story and meeting characters I've already fallen in love with from previous books.

I would say it feels like it's written by am 18 year old- but that would be doing 18 year old writers a disservice.I got upto page 60 and couldn't finish any further. Trigger warnings should be in place.I skipped to the end chapter so I could leave a review and it literally jumped all over the place within a couple of paragraphs.The writing is very boring and focuses too much on telling the reader every detail of the day. The storyline isn't angst so much as just melodramatic.
