T.L. Swan ends her Miles High series with Christopher Miles taking center stage, and how he came to find his true love the non-traditional way. With no money in his pockets, no designer outfits, and no fancy or over-the-top dates.
While backpacking through Europe, Christopher – a seemingly happy billionaire, a player, and a fan of all things sparkly and glitzy – discovers how the smallest and simplest thing can bring you the most happiness. And how a certain someone, a pure soul, can love him for what is in his heart and not for what is in his bank account.
The story is split between the year they spent backpacking, and the aftermath when they go back to reality. Back to the penthouse, the private planes, the long working hours, and the galas. And back to Hayden’s world. A world that is completely different from the Miles’ wealth.
The book was not at all what I expected and yet, it had all the elements that I come to expect from the author: undying loyalty and undeniable chemistry. I loved seeing the hero connecting and getting attached to a secondary character, to whom he stayed loyal even after the post-backpacking-year. What I would love to see from the author is to move away – for once – from the clichés and double standards that are ever-present in her books: the man who is always a player and a Casanova, whereas the woman is almost always domesticated and sexually not very active until – tadaaa – the hero makes his grand entrance. For me, this is becoming far-fetched and a turn-off. Write about a woman who has the gentlest of souls, the goldest of hearts, but had her own history of multiple sexual encounters and experimentation, and when she finally meets the one she is monogamous in that relationship. I would love to explore Swan’s amazing writing with this twist in her writing!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ahhh I absolutely loved this book.

This book had me laughing out loud, swooning, had me in my feels at points and then laughing out loud all over again.

Christopher Miles was wonderful. The things he came out with, his self discovery. He’s definitely my second favourite brother.

Hayden was such a sweetheart and stood her own ground too I loved her.

This series is one of my most read series for a reason. I highly recommend it and this was the perfect addition to the first 3.

Least favorite out of the whole series. It was seriously missing something. The first book was the best one.

I cannot believe I’m leaving a 3 star review on an author that I absolutely adore. I genuinely feel like I’m back stabbing her at the moment but I just did not like Christopher at all.

He was self centered, spoiled, and just an all around stick in the mud. Granted, he’s hilarious…his inner monologue had me rolling at times.

I liked Hayden. I just wish she wasn’t such a push over when it came to Christopher.

4.5 Stars

I loved Christopher. He grew so much. Hayden wasn’t my favorite of the Miles ladies though. Definite must read if you love the Miles Brothers.

This has to be my favorite one in the series thus far. T.L always makes me smile and then cry and smile some more. Her writing is addictive and I fall in love with the world she creates.

Ah TL Swan can do no wrong. I loved hopping back into the Miles brothers world. I read the first three books in this series and I couldn’t wait to read Christopher’s story. And what an adventure! I don’t remember laughing as much in the first books as I did this one. I loved our strong FMC, Hayden and loved that she was striking out on her own for an adventure. It was also super fun to see the other Miles brothers make an appearance in this book. Overall, I loved reading Christopher’s story- but Tristan will always be my favorite Miles brother!

The Do-Over is the fourth book in the Miles High Club series by author T.L. Swan. This is a billionaire romantic comedy with a bit of an opposites attract, enemies-to-lovers vibe that can be read as a standalone.
We are now into the story of the fourth and youngest Miles brother, Christopher. The playboy who can get anything and any woman he wants. With his brother's calling him entitled and an empty feeling inside his soul, Christopher sets out to take a gap year, backpacking abroad in a 'Do-Over' in order to find himself and prove his family wrong.
Hayden is also travelling abroad for a year, trying to find herself and here she finds herself at the same hostel as Christopher. These two are very different but also alike in some instances. While Christopher likes the finer things in life, he isn't used to sharing hostel rooms or living a regular person. He is confident in himself and sex. Hayden isnt used to luxury and doesn't like to waste money on things unnecessary. She is also quite inexperienced in relationships.
Backpacking together, Christopher can be quite insufferable at times but he is persistent. He doesn't give up when he wants something and he wants Hayden. Over the course of the book we see the dynamic between these two change. We also see Christopher and Hayden change and see the real versions of them.
Overall, this was another great addition to the series. I loved the chemistry, banter and storyline.

Oh Christopher what a privileged life you’ve lead. He is hilarious to listen to. The banter between these two is so entertaining. Not my favorite of the Miles brothers. That top spot still belongs Tristan and Jameson!

I love Tee’s books and the Do Over was amazing. Not only did I get an ending to my favourite characters fairy tales but I got to laugh and cry along with the Characters. Worth the read

I love the Miles brothers but honestly this one was just okay😔

I did enjoy it, but compared to the rest of the series, I just felt like this one was lacking that extra -oompf.

There were moments I liked, such as the cameos we get from the men from her Masters series, and I liked the idea of them backpacking through Europe and living out all these experience. Towards the end though, the third act break up just felt unnecessary and hard to buy into.

I don't think I enjoyed this book as much as most. The character development felt forced to me. You get a feel for Christopher's personality and then he just seems to be a different person and then back again. I liked the relationship between Hayden and Christopher. You could tell that they really had struggled trying to make things work between the two of them. I also felt that the story line with Eddie felt a little forced too. I totally understand why the author would want to go in that direction but for almost a year they didn't realize the kid didn't go to school, was illiterate and homeless.

I decided to dnf this at 33%. This book feels so different than the rest of the series. I didn’t really like Christopher’s character

I loved this series of the Miles High Club, it was a great way to end the series.

I really enjoyed Christopher’s journey of discovery, his ups and downs. Especially the bonds and lifelong friendships he made on his way.

This book had some amazingly funny parts whilst still having some heart felt moments.

Thanks to netgalley for the arc, I can’t wait to read more by this author.

I don't know if I have ever read a book that was both funny and spicy, but this one does it both beautifully! This book centers around Christopher, the fourth Miles brother who is gorgeous, wealthy and well endowed. He meets his polar opposite in Hayden but sparks fly.

I actually really loved this one. Christopher’s journey was something beautiful! I loved the little side plot of Eddie 🥺 really great spice scenes as well.

You really cannot go wrong with a TL Swan book, can you? This series took social media by storm, and I just had to join in on the fun. I was not disappointed! The pacing, characters and plot were all fantastic. I felt it was a little lengthy, but that is just personal preference. I love the Miles brothers and their stories so much, I am a little sad to say goodbye!
