The Miles High Club Series was one of the first romance series I read last year when I started reading romance. I have loved meeting each one of the brothers. So I was super excited to read Christopher's book.

Christopher Miles is a playboy. He's never had a girlfriend and his brothers think he will never settle down. Christopher decides to take a soul searching trip and backpack for a year in Europe. He wants to go off the grid and doesn't want people to know who he really is.

I absolutely loved the banter between Christopher and his brothers. I was so happy to see all of the Miles High men again. Christopher had me laughing out loud at some of the situations he got himself into. Gorillas in the Mist had me laughing so hard. IYKYK. 😂
Oh and Hayden. I really loved her. She challenged Christopher and didn't bow down easily.

I didn't see the ending coming. And I teared up more than once. 😢 I admit I'm sad that the Miles High series is over. Thank goodness there is going to be an extended epilogue next year for the series. TL Swan is a one click author for me. I will read everything she writes. ❤️❤️

What’s better than a TL Swan book? Nothing, that’s what. Nothing. I’m convinced she’s full of some sorcery to write books like these that pull me in and make me demand more. Because her characters are amazing. Love all the Miles brothers!

Absolutely incredible and what an amazing book to wrap up the Miles brothers. The depth of Christopher’s character was amazing to watch unfold and Hayden was truly the only person that could challenge him in more ways than one

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this arc in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed this story to a point. Christopher’s growth was so perfectly done and I loved the entire premise of him going backpacking to find himself. He also was able to surround himself with people who adored him not knowing who he is at all!

The story itself went on too long! There were so many areas that could have been condensed or combined. We had a bunch of different conflicts and resolutions happening I kept thinking we were at the end of the book and it just dragged on to the next issue!

This book was so fun. The perfect wrap up to the best series. His story was so unique and fun to see him develop from little rich boy to some one who loves everything with his entire heart

This is a good book. The two main characters are Hayden and Christopher. They meet when they are backpacking across Europe and meet up at a hostel. There is an instant attraction. They travel all across Europe for a year. As they go home Christopher tells Hayden he is a millionaire and works for the family business. They each have trust issues but together they fall in love and get married.

I didn’t think I could love the brothers more but Christopher, phew. I loved this fourth installment. Thank you so much for letting me read this advanced reader copy.

This book follows Christopher Miles, who is one of the wealthy Miles brothers. He decides to go backpacking and he meets Hayden. He uses a fake name and doesn't reveal his true identity to her.

I sadly didn't love Christopher as a main character. He felt very immature in comparison to the other Miles brothers. I know he is one of the younger siblings but he is still an adult. At times I felt like he read like a teenager. I personally wouldn't forgive someone if they lied about their identity to me. I found it difficult to see how Hayden could forgive his behaviour.

Overall, this is probably my least favourite from the series. I do still really enjoy T L Swan's writing and I will read more of her books in the future.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This is the last book in the Miles High series and it follows youngest brother Christopher. Now Christopher is an extremely unlikeable character in the beginning. He's rich, sleeps with anyone he can, spoilt, always gets what he wants and overall just a brat. By the end of the book though you come to be a bit fond of him. I really enjoyed the backpacking story that unfolds here and I liked seeing Christopher discover things about himself he didn't know before. The romance was ok, it wasn't anything to really shout about. Christopher and Hayden decide to be just friends and spend a bit of the book not acting on their feelings until finally they do and then, like with the other Miles High books, things move very quickly. So quickly that it's not realistic. I did not like how Christopher went back on what he said to Hayden's dad though. I did enjoy seeing Christopher's relationship with Eddie develop. I think that was one of my favourite parts of this book.

I do think this was longer than it needed to be but overall I liked it.

Jameson Miles was my favourite Miles brother until Christopher Miles entered the chat 👀 ooooft he is everything in more!

Easy 5 stars and my favourite read of 2022. I laughed, swooned and felt fomo that I wasn’t a character in this book 🤣

Phenomenal installment to these men's series!

This book showed more emotion and maturity in these brothers, and it was a refreshing change of scenery,

10 out of 10 on the hotness scale!!

this was my most anticipated read of the year. i have been talking about how excited I've been for months and let me tell you what. it did not disappoint. i have always been so curious about Christopher. at the end of the Casanova when all the miles brothers were at the bar and Christopher said he wanted to take a gap year, i knew that I'd what his book had to be about. him pretending to not be a “miles” was pretty freaking hilarious. this story had me cackling through the book. one thing i absolutely am obsessed with and in love with the fact that there were a lot of parts with ALL of the miles brothers. my nostalgic heart was overflowing with happiness. now let’s talk about Hayden. what a badass of a woman. her banter with Christopher was top notch. the fact that she was rejecting him at first made me instantly fall in love with her. he needs someone like that who can put him in his place and not take any of his crap. i loved his nickname for her. like I'm obsessed and now want someone to call me grumpy. seeing them together as friends makes you realize how they are meant to be. they even each other out in every way possible. their friendship is so sweet and tender. and you can easily see how deeply they care for each other. this book was so different than the other three books. this book was in my option way less spice and so much more of a deep look into their friendship. which is very different for one of Tee’s books. i loved every single second of this and how different it was. one of the biggest things that i was not expecting was to completely fall in love with a secondary character. I'm not gonna lie, i was talking to Tee and i said to her something that i wish would happen in this book— and well it did. iykyk! my dms are open if you need to talk about this. this book had me cackling during so many parts and also ripped my heart out and had me bawling my eyes out for 45 minutes straight. this was such a perfect ending to this series. when i tell you that i am forever changed by these brothers— i mean it. the mikes brothers will forever be my go to comfort read. i cannot recommend this series enough. Tee, you poured your heart and soul into these books. and I'm so excited for Miles Ever After to come out 🖤

TL Smith is a masterful storyteller. She excels in writing the most perfectly nuanced male characters. Christopher is a standout.

From page one, the connection and sizzling bond between Hayden and Christopher was palpable. Their push, pull and chemistry works on all levels as we follow their extremely sexual and sensual journey. The Do-Over is an exceptional love story of self-discovery, acceptance, real life emotions and second chances. Loved it!!

Dual POV absolutely sold but unfortunately that was all I was sold on. I'm a big T L Swan fan but this was the most disappointing in the series.

The characters were really unlikable from the get go and unfortunately they didn't redeem themselves throughout.

For their reconciliation there is also minimal to no grovelling which I just wasn't impressed by.

I was so looking forward to this book and TL Swan didn't disappoint. I love the love stories that Swan creates and her writing style. If you like a little steam in your romance, this is a great choice for you.....it's perfection!!

Oh Ms. Swan. Le sigh. This series is in my top 5 of all time. I am a reader that often gets bored of a series and I am thrilled to report (amongst the many) that The Do-Over is another banger. I know I'm asking a lot, but can we please just forget all other books in the works and continue this series indefinitely?! If TL Swan isn't a one click author for you like she is me, allow me to suggest! F I V E S T A R S

I have absolutely loved this series and this final instalment did not disappoint, it was great getting to know these characters and seeing how this story ended, a perfect mix of spice and storyline!

T L Swan, are you sure there is not a fifth brother hiding around? I am going to miss the Miles Brothers and hope I'll get the chance to see glimpses of them in any upcoming books.

Christopher got straight to my heart. Bad boy rep with the tenderest heart there ever was. I truly enjoyed this one!

I do usually enjoy the emotional progressions of the characters in the Miles High series. However sometimes the characters are made so unlikeable to me at the beginning of the book that I can't ever truly emotionally invest in the love story. Christopher was very sex obsessed and the way he spoke about sex and women was a bit upsetting to me. He also continuously made it known that sex was a priority to him over most things in life and even while his relationship with Hayden was developing, there were instances of him nearly being intimate with previous partners. I did enjoy the emotional build up and development of their relationship but I ultimately felt that Hayden put up with and sacrificed too much for the relationship. It was one of those books where I would never believe these characters to last in the real world at all.

I liked other books in the series and this was definitely spicy, but emotionally it was a tough read for me!

I was introduced to T. L Swan recently and instantly became a huge fan with plans to read her entire back list. Some aspects of this book I found frustrating, as I tend to do with the heroines in this series, however the angst and romance made it worth it.

The spice is absolutely fantastic and surprisingly the resolution was a bit emotional. Great payoff and wonderful read.
