I was recommended this book series by a friend and I’m so glad that I was because I have loved every one of these books. The series continued to get better with each book.
The love that Josh and Natasha share is so overwhelming and beautiful that you can’t help but to love these characters. This story is told from Josh and Natasha’s point of view with a few chapters from Adrian.
This is a big book over 500 pages and I couldn’t read it fast enough. I never wanted it to end. I love these characters and I want more from them as soon as possible! My wants were answered because there will be a novella that will be about Josh and Natasha! I’ve been to poundtown and I never want to leave!
I highly recommend this series. It is an intense love story that will leave you wanting that kind of love! I really can’t explain how much I have enjoyed this series and I can’t wait to read more from this author!

July 3, 2016Not sure how to rate this series.
I was interested the WHOLE time so I can't say I didn't like it, but I was pissed off a lot but I still continued on cause I needed to know what would happen next.
Note for safety gang (spoilers ahead):
During this series, they break up A LOT and so they're separated a lot. During the separation (they don't see each other cause they don't live in the same place) the hero hooks up with other girls. So yeah, for safety gang, you might not like this.
But in one aspect you can say that it's fair considering that they've been broken up (and tbh at one point she breaks up with him for a RIDICULOUS reason). But the author keeps the heroine celibate. As in, even through their first 7 year or so separation she doesn't have sex while he does everything that moves. And once they re-unite, (where the series begins), Everytime they break up she doesn't sleep with anyone else and he does. THATS MY ISSUE.
I would have LOVED this book if it wasn't for that ^!
I was in the mood for Psycho OTT angst and so this book was great (cause it's crazy all over the place angst). It would've been 4 stars. But in good conscious, I don't think I can rate this book high cause I am so against the double standard.
The hero would HATE her being with another guy while he goes and does everything that moves....
Thing is, in a sense the author does in a sense that they really are broken up and months pass with nothing between them during the breakups. So he tries to move on etc. Everytime he IS with her, he's not with other women, and I truly 100% he does love the heroine. But Jesus, seriously, throughout like 8 frikking years he has other women and she is completely celibate....
Why oh why are authors doing this nowadays

4.5 Sexy Pound Town Stars
This is the Third book in the Stanton series and what a way to end it. This book, like the rest is scorching HOT. Natasha is sassier than ever trying to adjust to her new life in LA with the love of her life Joshua. He did not disappoint and came back hotter than ever. Then he said things like this:
"Natasha, I am a very rich man but I didn't know the true value of wealth until you came back into my life. Everything was meaningless."
"Have we ever had anything but intimate and beautiful between us, presh?" His eyes hold mine. "Together we are intimate perfection"
(Swoon)
In this book we see them grow as a couple after going through so many difficult situations. I kept expecting one or the other to flip out and WWIII to begin. But that was not the case.
I seriously loved the dual POV, being in Joshua's head is always a treat (so hot).
The attraction between them is out of this world. Mind blowing really.
"Joshua Stanton having sex in his animalistic way is without a doubt the best viewing I have ever witnessed."
It was angsty and twisty and I enjoyed trying to connect all the dots. The author had me from Freaking out to swooning to whoa that so so hot. I was at the edge of my seat for the last half of the book. Its a big book and I could not put it down. I HAD to know what was happening.
Im so excited to know there will be more from the secondary characters. And I seriously cannot wait. And yes I realized I just finished reading this book and want more. Can't get enough.
If you haven't picked up this series yet,
I seriously encourage you to go click NOW and hold on for a crazy hot ride.

5 Adoringly, Unconditionally, Completely Fantastic Stars!
Review by Lisa Kane
This book...jeez, I'm not sure I can do it justice with a review. It's a lengthy read-over 500 pages and there is so much to it that my head is still reeling. When I start a book, it's rare that I don't finish it in one sitting. This one took me over 6 hours, but there was no way I could go to bed and leave my beloved Josh and Natasha hanging; their stories unfinished.
I know what my man is capable of, and I now know just how orgasmic he looks as he does it. Joshua Stanton having sex in his animalistic way is without a doubt the best viewing I have ever witnessed.
These two traveled such a rocky road in the first two books. We knew they were insane about each other, we knew that there could and would never be anyone else for them, but the back and forth and the running away and the womanizing to try to forget, well I was exhausted. Finally at the end of book two, my couple got their acts together. They are an unbreakable team. No one and nothing can tear them apart. Not the danger that is all around them, not the mysteries that surround them, not the people who try to break them up. Nothing.
But sometimes, the best of intentions are not enough.
There is romance, and love and sexy times. There is commitment and good friends and family. These characters have evolved. This story is so different from the first two. Gone is the arguing for the sake of arguing. They are more mature and secure in their relationship. I was so proud of the both of them. Several times I found myself thinking one or both were going to blow their tops and it would be Armageddon all over again. But they proved me wrong and I was in my happy place.
And then it all got shot to hell.
The second part of this book had my stomach churning, my jaw clenching and my head spinning like Regan in the Exorcist. I didn't know what the hell to think. How did this happen? Who is behind all of this? WTH??
Make sure you fasten those seat belts, cause this one isn't just a bumpy ride; it's a free fall out of the sky without a parachute read that will have you holding your breath and hyperventilating at the same time.
She showed me a love like nothing I have ever known...and now I am facing a loss like I have never known and I don't know if I can go on.
Not all the questions will be answered. While Josh and Natasha's story has essentially played out, our questions will be answered in books centered on the secondary characters-Bridgett, Adrian and Cameron. They will all get a chance to tell their stories too. As far as I'm concerned- I will take any and all opportunities to revisit these characters any chance I can get!
"Have we ever had anything but intimate and beautiful between us, presh? His eyes hold mine.
"Together we are intimate perfection," he whispers into my hair. I melt and kiss his chest.
"No, I can't say that we have." I smile broadly.

Fucking hell. Can these two catch a break?
Finally we see Natasha grow into a little bit of maturity while Josh seems to backslide a bit to square one. But who can really blame him, she did put him through some serious fucked up shit over the last two books!
So we finally get to the end of the series and although there were a few loose ends left open, we get to the place I’ve been dying for. As these two finally decide to be adults, it seems everyone else is out to ruin things for them.
The story takes on a twist that although didn’t come out of nowhere – it sort of did. Parts of that twist seemed a bit too much/too little at the same time and with the few unresolved issues – I felt like some of it was rushed when I really just wanted it to slow down and rest.
A handful of fantastic characters were introduced in this series and I admit that I desperately need their stories. I really hope the author has plans to continue on with some spinoff books because I think she has given us some superb supporting characters that can hold their own in their very own novel.
When I first picked up Stanton Adore, I had no idea I was going to become addicted to this series and refuse to read anything until I had the whole story.
For a debut series, this author did a fantastic job. I look forward to seeing what T.L. Swan brings us next (hopefully it’s Ben or Cam or Max or Adrian)!

Well, I was waiting and waiting for the story to get started and you can just flip to half way through the book to start your read. Story lines that were started in books 1 & 2 were Completely (pun intended!) washed down to pretty much nothing. What a waste of exciting story lines that were established!!
Apparently this book is not the third in a trilogy as there were questions left hanging and are supposed to be answered in another book? My understanding was that a trilogy is a series of three books, my mistake obviously!
Unfortunately my list of "Has this really been proof read?" as compared to "Wow, this is great!" is amazingly long on the former. Too long. Too many rookie mistakes, statements from book 1 & 2 that don't match or align with book 3. Like why the hell did Margaret see a lawyer in a previous book? I guess we'll never find out because it just doesn't make sense full stop. For what reason was she scared, in book 3 nothing came of it! Nothing. At. All. Again, watered down story line. Too many set up’s that are not followed through, watered down or Completely ignored. I could go on....No-one but Adrian called her Cinderella, um, no, in book 1, a few of the boys called her Cinderella on the plane. Who killed the prostitute? Obviously no-one cares. Why/how is Joshua's father so powerful and scary....? Who friggen knows! Does it even make sense remotely that Amelie would want Joshua locked up for thirty years for murder if she wants him for herself? Good plan Amelie, a massive kidnap storyline that has no end game. An author who can't remember her own story lines gives me little to no faith that she knows what she's doing.
A so called trilogy that didn’t follow up, and here I was thinking that’s what a trilogy or series does, introduces story lines and sees them through. I felt like I was reading a try hard movie script that wouldn’t get past anyone with half a brain. Maybe Joshua should have been a cop and pounded that beat instead, as this book is one big cop out….Completely!

It truly saddens me that I can't give this book more than 2 stars but honestly it was all over the place. I was anxious to read book 3 since book 1 and 2 had plenty of mystery and angst and I was hopeful that I'd get the closure I needed and the HEA I wanted for Joshua and Natasha. But instead there are still way too many unanswered questions, inconsistencies throughout, simply silly scenes (toasting the day she would have gotten her period??? I know he was grieving, but c'mon) and everyone constantly yelling or crying non-stop.
Although I'm happy that ultimately it turned out ok, it just took too long and I found myself skimming pages. The fact that there will be more in the series does not even remotely interest me. I feel let down and just can't read anymore. Adrian was a bright spot for me and I do hope his book with Nicholas is worthwhile. But I probably will never know.
I know i'm probably going to be in the minority but having differences of opinion is what makes the world go 'round. Oh well.

3.5 stars. This series has definitely grown on me. The writing itself still has lots of issues, maybe not as many with this 3rd book, but I still think a high school English teacher would paint this book red. That aside, it was totally entertaining and I never got bored. The main characters matured and no longer annoyed me as much. I came to love the side characters and now feel like I’m a part of their big crazy family.
Do I recommend this book and series? Yes. After reading this 3rd book, I feel more love for the characters and story. It was an escape and I never wanted to quit. It was pure entertainment. The story actually kept me on the edge of my seat and this author knows how to bring the steam!
The quality of writing is the only reason I can’t give a full 4 stars. Too many Australian terms that were used for the American legal system, which shows a lack of research. And basic formatting rules were a still a major issue.
But now that I’m invested with the side characters, I will continue with this author to read those character’s stand-alone novels.

Stanton Completely
This whole series felt like a whirlwind of emotions. This last part to the series just took the cake. I couldn't put it down for a second I just had to keep reading. It kept me at the edge of my seat. I has some suspicions of who did what but I didn't expect that outcome. The whole Margeret issue even made me feel pity towards her. Tash being the woman with the heart of gold she went through the hell and back forgave others even when they didn't really deserved it. Josh, made me want him more talk about swoon. I want my ticket to pound town too. Who am I kidding I would be first in line. Lol Adrian I love him he just so straight but gay and lovable all in one. Him and Nicholas, whatever they have going on it hot. I found it hot a sweet. Yes, it took them awhile but they will find their way eventually. Didge and Ben talk about cute can't wait for their story to come out.Dr Cameron ahh I wondered about him but my gut tells me he is a kink bastard. I love to see some badass woman tamed and claim him. Abbie the one who wouldn't settle maybe she changes her tune and found someone To play her. I loved this series it say much that I haven't said already. This is kind of a forbidden romance. If that your kink you will love this. They're are some hot and I mean hot scenes and did I mention he is one dirty ass talker Tash too.

Full review and rating after release.
When I was first approached by a book buddy to read books 1&2 I gave it a go. I over looked the formatting and editing issues bc I truly loved the story and the characters. This author is a sweetheart and humble. I really wanted to love Stanton Completely just as much as I loved the other two books before, but it felt short, incomplete. IMO too many unanswered questions were left up in the air, plot holes. Josh's character changed a bit and he wasn't the same which was a bit of a turn off. I would've liked to have seen the author dig more and concentrated on resolving all the plot holes instead of a constant sexfest from 1-70%, which its where the story picked up after 70% but it wasn't enough to resolve all the issues in this trilogy.

What a fantastic final to the series! I was given the honour of beta reading this and I must say, this is completely consuming, I couldn't put it down!! I definitely recommend!

Wow! What a fantastic ending to an all-consuming series! Where do I start with this book? There will be times that your heart will burst with love and all the wonderful feels it gives you. There will be times your heart will burst open with angst and heartbreak, but here won’t be a time that you will want to close the book and carry on with real life, you will be totally invested in this beautiful story. Joshua will be your favourite alpha boyfriend and Natasha will be your best friend.
I found myself on the edge of my seat reading this, T L Swan really does put us through the wringer but I wouldn’t want it any other way. I can’t recommend this series highly enough and I’m so very excited to see what T L has in store for us with future books, she is definitely one of my ‘must read’, ‘go to’ authors! What are you waiting for? Go one click now!!

I'm very surprised that the same author who wrote this series also wrote Dr. Stanton. I absolutely loved Dr. Stanton, and in comparison, this series fell short.
In book one, my jaw hit the floor at the end of chapter 2. I honestly debated if I should even continue or not. I did not expect that at all. I decided to push forward and see where it went.
In summary for all three books, I did not care for either of the main characters. I didn't like Josh because he was an extreme manhore and also would often tell Natasha to shut the f*ck up or call her a B*tch or slut. None of that is attractive or apealong in the slightest.
I also didn't care for Natasha because I felt she was very weak, and it's ridiculous to go 7 years without intimacy because you're waiting for your "first" to come back - especially when that person bumps uglies with anything that moves.
Clearly I had time on my hands for the simple fact that I finished all three books when I didn't love any of them; but hey, who doesn't appreciate a little Jerry Springer every now and then.

3 stars- I COULD NOT PUT THIS DOWN!! However, this felt like a Walmart version of Magnolia Parks. I don’t get why
these MMCs can’t keep it in their pants?! Like yes sex does not always = love, but sleeping w hundreds of women while you claim to be desperately in love w a woman is so freaking gross to me. Why do they hook up with anything that moves ?!
And the FMC staying celibate because to her sex = love just feels sooo unbalanced. I hate a doormat FMC.
This story is sooo messy and addictive but also SO frustrating!!
SPOILER
I’m sorry but how did they not suspect Amelie to be behind it all? She was clearly insane and angry at them. And how did the MMC not think she was psycho after being friends with her for 5+ years?? Is he just stupid??

I was honored to receive an ARC of Stanton Completely, Book 3 of the series. This amazing story about Joshua and Natasha and the love they have for each other. This story is jam packed full of everything that I love about these two characters.
T.L. Swan has complex storylines going consecutively and she does it so well. Her characters have grown from book to book. This book had me on the edge of my chair and I didn't want to stop reading in several spots. There were several spots where I was laughing, where I was in tears or I was thinking ohhhh NOOO!!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!!
GREAT JOB T.L. SWAN!!!!!!!!! 5☆☆☆☆☆

The last book (#2 Stanton Unconditional) was a 2, but this one is a 4!
In this one, I finally recognize the author I like because it has her usually fun dialogue between the characters.
I don't know if it makes sense, but this book is also more fun to read than the previous one because there is less drama and more drama resolution.
These books are quite lengthy because we also follow the secondary characters' points of view and stories, who, by the way, have independent books and series too!
I enjoyed reading the whole kidnapping thing; I was glued! Moving forward to the last one: Stanton Bliss!

I have been putting off doing this review for one reason, how can anything that I put in this review even come close to doing this book justice??
I have been waiting for the release of Stanton Completely for my next Joshua Stanton fix and wow let me say TL Swan you have delivered one extraordinary book to finish the Stanton Series .
Once again you had me on that roller-coaster ride that takes me through so many mixed emotions that you don’t even expect from one book. From swooning over Joshua and Natasha’s relationship, they have grown so much from the beginning in Adore and the rocky road they went through in Unconditional. You have drawn me into your magical writing that I actually feel like I know and love all of the characters in the Stanton Series you had me laughing, crying and on the edge of my seat stressing what the hell will happen next to steaming up my kindle with the hot sex scenes.
I loved this book and will tell anyone that will listen to read this series.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful story with the world I look forward to reading any new work that you produce and not to mention the future books related to the Stanton Series.

Where can I begin to express how I felt after reading this much anticipated sequel and final book of the trilogy series of Josh and Tash?!!!!
Well, first this will not be the final book as so stated previously. A trilogy was always my understanding it was a three part series. But after 580+ pages this author
Couldn't complete and wrap up this story. Not only did it left so many plot holes, unanswered questions of the first two books, but she turned Josh into a blubbering idiot.
The first 70% it's just non importance turn of events, mostly hot scenes after another. The last 30% were a bit more entertaining but it didn't deliver what I expected
And thought would be a continuous of the last books. There were too many chapters of secondary characters POV, why? I don't know. Now, we are getting a novella to answer all the unanswered questions. I have zero interest in reading those answers now after finishing this very disappointed book that could have been great if she just kept up with the story, cut a bit of the sex and wrapped it up completely. Which is really an incomplete book.

Reality lost
There were parts of this I liked and lots of parts I disliked about this trilogy. Unfortunately the last calamity for these characters was so over the top and full of errors that it ruined any good that occurred in the whole storyline. The entire abduction/trial fiasco was full of errors in logic and even in reality. Did the author know nothing of the judicial system or did she just scoff at any semblance of the real world?
There was so much sex in these books that I actually found myself skimming through these scenes at about the 50% mark. I had to skim through the main characters multitude of temper tantrums, misunderstandings, and jealous fits as well. It was the same thing over and over. If the hero cracked his damn neck one more time I swear his head would fall off.
If you're in the mood for a long read with little substance, immature main characters, and tons of sex then this is the series for you!

Wow !! Amazingly HOT ! Stanton Completely by TL Swan is the must read of the year. In fact this whole series is one not to be missed. There is so much that happens in Stanton Completely I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. The entire series has had my emotions flying wild. I read this series back to back and I am so thankful I did. I wanted to savor it so it would last longer but, at the same time I couldn't turn the pages fast enough.
I can not express how much I enjoyed this emotionally, erotic, suspenseful read.
I Highly recommend reading this entire series and I can not wait to see what this amazing author has in store for us next..

Completely Adored unconditionally loved this book.
Wow I'm blown away by this last book in the Stanton series.
T.L.Swan has out done her self with this book.
I laughed, I cried, I was on the edge of my seat throughout this whole book.
If you only want to read one book this year then Stanton Completely is that book.
Hope you all fall in love with Stanton Completely just as much as I did.
Look forward to more books from this talented Aussie author T. L. Swan.

WoW!!
This book was fantastic!!Intense, heavy and very very hot!!! Omg!! I really loved how Stanton and Natasha developed as a couple. They were not the same as the first book and I really loved that. Couples make mistakes but they learn and evolve as a better couple.
I loved the suspense T.L Swan created. I was holding my set tightly and enjoyed this ride!! Please have some tissues with you. You will need it!

These MC’s seemed to have finally gotten their act together! I guess trauma like these two suffered individually, and collectively would do that to you. I’m totally attached to the side characters, their love and support for one another, and of coarse all the digs, and sarcasm! The sexy times were steamy in all the books, this one was no exception!
This one was my favorite yet! Still not edited well, and the transition between the way they should speak in America, verses Australia was definitely off, but the suspense and emotion in this one helped in over looking it. This book was addictive, and had me on the edge of my seat! I’m so glad I stuck with this series:)

The first half of the book was amazing. I was so sure this book was going to be 5 Stars. From book 1 to book 3, it was like a slow burn for me because I grew to love this group of characters very much. Josh, Adrian, Abbie and my favorite--the comedic duo--Bridget & Cameron. I FLOVED their dynamics. To my heart, this team was perfection. Then, of course, there's Josh & Nash (Natasha). I got hooked on their relationship. These two were madly in love! And I confess, I've highly enjoyed their OTT antics.
I was willing to look past this book's negatives because of all the above.
That is until Chapter 17 happened and my love...crashed and burned. The story went OFF THE FUCKING RAILS.
It was a Jerry Springer episode, a soap opera *and* a telenovela all wrapped up into 13 chapters. If you've never watched a telenovela, here's an epic clip: YouTube
The 2 Star rating is because of the first 50%.

5 tense, jaw dropping stars!!!
It's hard to put into words how I feel about this edition of Joshua and Natasha's story.
The story is a continuation of the last two installments. It answers questions and draws things to a climactic conclusion. I recommend you read Stanton Adore and Stanton Unconditional first.
All of the characters have a place in my heart now and I WILL be reading their stories, you can bet on it.
I have laughed out loud, embarrassingly loud, cried a little tear, sobbed my heart out and bitten my nails to the quick.
Is it a good book? Hmm... yes, YES YES YES!
Wow. I was constantly telling my family, politely, to "Go. Away! I'm READING!"
The drama and intrigue is fantastic.
I am definitely a huge fan of T L Swan.
Geeze, this is a must read

Finally, the ending of a much too long story!
This book just dragged on and on. I think the story could have been much shorter of all the excess sex was removed from the story. The ending was not bad, but I was glad that Joshua and Natasha's story is finally finished.

OH GOOD LORD.
I certainly did not expect THAT to come from TL Swan. This book was traumatic to say the least. I quite literally couldn't put it down. 10/10 highly recommend this series! Wow. Just wow. I definitely need a breather before I continue on with the extended epilogue novella.

DARK & DEVASTATING TIMES IN THE STANTON WORLD!!!
I can't even begin to describe the emotional roller coaster that this book took me on! One of the most tragically heartbreaking books I've read in a while. You could feel the love pour from the pages even though it was running neck to neck with the pain. My heart hurt so much for this couple, their friends and family; I couldn't read this book laying in bed...the tears just poured at times!
So much happened during this book, this book is when the series just really came together for me! I really enjoyed the first two books but THIS book cemented my love for Joshua & Natasha! They are lengthy books and definitely no shortage of drama but it has kept me thoroughly entertained throughout the entire series! THIS BOOK THOUGH!!! No matter how painful it was at times, I do feel like the things that happened in this book were inevitable! Certain things just needed to come full circle and that is what I feel like happened in this book.
Once again, I love how close these two are to their crew! How much of their crew you get to see in the books! It makes me so excited for each of them to get their own books!
This is book 4 in the Stanton series! They all must be read together in order to completely understand and enjoy this world!
