This is the first book I've read by this author.
The premise instantly caught my attention, I hadn't encountered the "billionaire-takes-backpacking-trip-to-find-himself" trope before. It had it's good and fun moments and I enjoyed some parts of the book.
It started so well, but I think it could have been shorter, some parts felt like it didn't add to the overall arc. There was something that didn't sit well with the way the MC and one of his brothers talked about women: "get her pregnant so she'll be entertained" something along those lines, maybe I'm missing some context since this is book 4 in the series and I haven't read the other brother's stories.
I had a hard time with the mc's personal growth and his tantrums, the end felt a bit rushed in terms of his character development, like I kept waiting for more.
I wanted to love this book so much, but all in all it was mostly fun and light summer read.
I'll still will give the others books a try to get a sense of the author's style.

The Do-over featuring the fourth Miles brother Christopher was one of my most anticipated reads by this author for the year.
We see from the previous stories that Christopher is the light hearted, funny, easy going brother, but as we get to know more of him we see his lightheartedness is subjective.
As I kept reading this book and laughing all I could think about was when the angst bomb was going to be dropped. We all know this author loves to break us and finally, finally I got what the heart break. I sobbed durning this story, which doesn't happen often. Wiping the tears away all the while feeling my heart breaking for this couple.
I loved this story and so sad we came to the final brothers storyline.

The Do-Over is a friends to lovers story about two people who meet while staying in the same hostel while traveling through Europe. They are actually roommates and become good friends, working together and sightseeing before they ever take their relationship to a different level.

Hayden works on a farm but has always wanted to travel and see more. Christoper is actually from a wealthy media empire, but decides to abandon his riches and backpack his way through Europe as a different version of himself on a little bit of a journey to finding himself.

This story was a little bit of hit and miss for me. It took me quite a while to become invested in the story line and I felt like it kind of dragged on at times. Christopher wasn't very endearing for the beginning part of the story, but I did appreciate the growth of his character as the story developed and I adored his relationship with Eddie. I did like Hayden and Christopher together mostly, but didn't always buy them actually being together and that they would actually work out long-term even if I wanted them to. Overall, this was just an ok story for me and I am not sure if I would go back and read the others in the series or continue on any further.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

Best book I’ve read this year! Deserving of ALL THE STARS!

Both my husband and my dad are named Christopher, so I already knew going in that Christopher’s are just the best. But my my my is Christopher Miles something special!

This book will had me laughing out loud one minute, tearing up the next, then back to absolutely swooning in no time. These Miles men and their irresistible swoonieness are so next level.

One of my most anticipated reads this year and it did not disappoint. Everything I wanted and more. TL Swan totally delivered. I could have easily read it in one setting, but made myself spread it out over a few days to really savor it.

The Do-Over is the fourth standalone in the Miles High Club series; however, I strongly recommend reading all four books in order!

All of the Miles High Club series books are in Kindle Unlimited and include narration if you’re an audiobook fan like me! I look forward to re-reading this one with the audiobook on release day!

Thank you to the author and publishing team for the opportunity to voluntarily review a copy of this book!

This series has been an emotional rollacoaster and I am thrilled it ended with Christopher's story. I loved the idea that Chris was to take a year off to find himself by taking a year off and "roughing it" in the real world while traveling. I think TL Swan did a great job of building Chris's character from the first night he was in Spain and we really got to see his personality in this book. The romance was great in this book but the found family aspect of this book is what really made this story. Between the backpackers becoming a small family and then events later in the story that I don't want to spoil. I cannot wait to see what is next for TL Swan.

4 stars

What a surprise this book was!

I went into this thinking it would be your run of the mill steamy billionaires romance but I was oh so wrong. This was a very unique book and unlike other books I’ve read! I enjoyed the story and the characters and the relationship that grew between Christopher and Hayden!

This book made me laugh and cry and feel all the feels throughout while also being super fun and entertaining, it practically read itself!

This is only my second TL Swan book, the other one I read was the last Miles Brother book so I’m still not super familiar with the author, but I know that I really enjoy their writing!

Thank you to NetGalley and Montlake for the earc in return for an honest review

The Do-Over is the fourth installment in the Miles High series. Similar to the previous books, The Do-Over follows Christopher, a billionaire workaholic.

The premise of the book sounded interesting, and I admittedly went into this hoping for a different experience than what I had reading the first book in this series. Further, as a contemporary romance, I was looking forward to a bit of an escapism blended with realism.

Unfortunately I was rather let down while reading this book. Here are my three biggest issues with this book:

1. The relationship has a clear power imbalance that is never truly sorted out. In the beginning of the book, Hayden makes it clear that Christopher can use a phrase “I need a minute” to signal when he wants space to breathe and think. He never uses this phrase, and there were multiple instances where the two of them are fighting and this would have been the ideal time for Christopher to be mature and use this phrase. Instead, during many of these fights Christopher’s language is borderline abusive, if not extremely aggressive. In fact, the one time Hayden stood up for herself led to Christopher being the biggest man-child and causing the most unnecessary third act. Christopher is constantly forgiven and I question f this is because he’s the party with more power, or if Hayden simply had no spine.

2. The infantilization of the Spaniard Eddie was….gross. To set the scene, Eddie is a 14 year old bartender. Obviously, to be working at age 14 means that you’re likely in a position where you need to take care of someone. Per Eddie, this someone is his grandmother. Regardless of his financial status, Eddie is quite the character, speaking numerous languages and being very street smart. Like many people when they travel, Christopher and Hayden treated Eddie like he was a toddler, rather than an actual person (ie: a teenager). To put this even further into perspective, Eddie is only 3 years younger than Christopher’s nephew. Would they have spoken to Harry that way? Absolutely not, but because Eddie is young and speaks a different language suddenly they find it OK to treat him like a child. I found this entire plot line to be very unrealistic, which is ironic because I’m reading a billionaire romance.

3. Christopher is very selfish when it comes to Hayden. That’s it. In every sex scene it’s more heavily focused on Christopher’s pleasure. First time, make up, etc, there’s very little attention on pleasuring Hayden and much of the attention is put on making sure Christopher is satisfied. If I’m reading a smutty novel I’d at least like to read about the man putting in effort

All of that being said, I found the book to be a very quick read. While I won’t be reaching for another brothers story anytime soon, I found that when it was good, it was good. 3 stars.

🚨🚨🚨This review is filled with spoilers so please skip this if you don’t want to know anything.

Unfortunately this was my least favorite of the four Miles brothers books. My number one complaint is the plot line about Eddie. It felt very white savior to me.
I also didn’t care for how the perfectionist and therapy stuff was brought up about Christopher as a kid and then was just never brought up again for the rest of the book. Like it’s clearly still an issue. This could have been a great opportunity for mental health and therapy representation.
The trip part of the book of them backpacking was a good time, I flew through the book. Once the trip is over and they go back to real life, the relationship and the book just kind of goes downhill.
For a 560 page book, the conflict was resolved awfully fast as well. Like you couldn’t have taken more time to flesh that out a little?

There’s also a lot of derogatory talk about women from multiple characters in this. Even Hayden does it. I don’t remember that in any of the other books.

A millionaire who decides to go backpacking for a year? What could possibly go wrong?👀
I adored this book from start to finish. Such a fun read and hilarious.

Christopher Miles is one of the millionaire Miles brothers, charming, straightforward and the funniest character I have met and he’s the complete opposite of Hayden. Hayden is such a kind hearted and fun soul who lives on a farm with her family and decided to take this little adventure to move on from her ex. Put these two together and you have the perfect romance. People do say opposites attract.

This book was filled with humor, adventure, spice and everything you look for in a billionaire romance. Let’s just say Christopher does not disappoint in the bedroom but I’ll leave it up to you to decide😏. I cannot wait to read the other books on the series! Absolutely fantastic!

This one felt so disjointed and all over the place. I wanted to like Chris more but something didn’t click for me. Hayden was OK- I hated her in the beginning, I can’t stand when authors write “I’m not like other girls” kind of FMCs that put other women down as a way to show how “weird and quirky” they are. Like the use of the word hobag multiple times was unnecessary

TL never disappoints me! I inhaled this book and finished it way too fast 🥹 I loved The Do-Over so much.

Christopher was the most romantic sweetheart I knew he’d be, and I LOVED him and Hayden together. Their chemistry was amazing.
I’m so sad to be done with the Miles brothers. These brothers have brought the biggest smiles to my face!

5/5⭐️

Christopher is notoriously known as a playboy who is superficial. He decides to set out and backpack round trip to find himself. While trying to find himself, he meets Hayden, a country girl, that he connects with.

THIS IS MY FAVORITE OF THE SERIES.

I believe whole heartedly that traveling gives you a new outlook on the world & yourself… and for TL Swan to include this perspective in her book makes me so damn happy.

Christopher becomes a better person through travel and meeting new people. He learns how to love and that’s is the beauty of this book. Money can’t buy everything.

I laughed, I cried, I felt love through the pages…

Eddie has my entire heart. Omg I loved that kid so much.

5 ⭐️ 3🌶

I was one of the lucky ducks that managed to nab an ARC of this bad boy from NetGalley and I have never been more happy for myself, ever.

Well buddies it has finally happened, we have reached the final Miles brother adventure! Will Christopher beat out your current fave brother?
I myself am a TriStan but Christopher I think might just be cosying in on the 1st place platform with Tristan.

I loved Hayden and Christopher together and separately, the relationship they built as friends, for me, was the best possible foundation for their romantic relationship to blossom.
I didn't know I could be so content reading about a couple who were so stubbornly trying to keep themselves in the friend zone but they were so comfortable with each other it was quite frankly adorable.

I'm sure it'll come as a shock to no one that the banter is top tier and the will they/won't they tension is excellent. I couldn't think of a better end to what has been an incredible series!

Now I'm off to weep in a corner until Valentines Day. I'll have to stop the tears then so that Miles Ever After isn't all blurry when I read it.

Omg so so good. I thought the ending was too short. Honestly I wanted more. I love this series and I really wanted a little more of a wrap up or an epilogue for this one but otherwise this story is just perfect! I can’t get enough of the Miles brothers and Swans writing.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you to the author and NetGalley for the eARC of this book in exchange for my honest review!
-
After securing the ARC and before reading, I of course sprinted to Amazon to download the first three in this series and proceeded to read all of them over the span of 2 days. I don’t know what kind of fairy dust is in these books, but they are so fun and addicting! Billionaire boyfriend is one of my favorite tropes so I was really in for a treat here.
-
In The Do-Over, the fourth book in the Miles High Club series, we finally get the behind-the-scenes in Christopher’s beautiful head, where he decides to take his “leap year” and travel abroad for a year with a limited budget to discover who he truly is. This book made me want to travel SO BADLY! Chris meets Hayden, a sweet farm-girl recovering from a broken heart, and their friendship falls quickly, with the two becoming practically inseparable from day one.
-
Hayden lost me for a bit in the middle of the story - I thought she was a little too go-with-the-flow for me - but she quickly redeemed herself and I loved watching Chris and Hayden both grow into the people they always knew they could be with each other.
-
I giggled like a schoolgirl throughout all of their banter and fun and loved loved loved it - I will say the spice in this one wasn’t the spiciest… iykyk… but it’s definitely still there. The tension was just SO much hotter.

This is the BEST book I’ve read all year, it was so worth the wait! If you liked Tristan’s story than you will Love Christopher’s, the banter in this book is laugh out loud funny. Christopher, the youngest Miles brother, decides he needs to make a change and prove to everyone around him he is capable of being on his own without money so he decides to go on a year long backpacking trip hiding his true identity, where he meets not only Hayden, a beautiful country girl, but also Eddie, a 14 year old who works in a bar and who Christopher is drawn to almost immediately. This book was a rollercoaster ride there for a minute and overall incredible. You do not have to read these books in order, nor do you have to read them all but once you meet one Miles brother, you’ll want to meet them all.

The Do-Over was the much anticipated book four of the Miles brothers series. I was so excited for Christopher’s story, but sadly it did not live up to the other brothers’ books.
Christopher wants a “do-over” on his job and decides to backpack for a year. There he meets Hayden, a country girl finally letting go of her first love.
The writing seemed rushed and juvenile. The booked spanned over a year and parts seemed to jump all over. The couple doesn’t seem to have a lot in common. Their chemistry is ehh, not like the other Miles’ brothers’ romances.
If you have read the other books, I would still read this one. There are parts that are funny and it ends in a HEA.

How is this the last book in the Miles brothers series?! The stopover was my first book by this author and lead me down the path of reading a handful of others by her. This series is by far my favorite. While Tristan is by far my favorite brother of them all. I think Christopher had the most growth. This book made me wish I had backpacked around Europe and took more chances it’s never to late to follow your heart.

This was the perfect book to say goodbye to these brothers!! Christopher was not how I imagined him to be but was soooooo much better!! He is easily my favorite brother & this book took so many turns but the ending was so fabulous!!

Ooh, it’s been a while since I’ve read such an egotistical, self centred character as Christopher Miles, and guess what? I loved him. The youngest of the Miles brothers, and quite possibly the most entitled (also could be my favourite), comes down to earth with a bang when he decides to up and leave his privileged life and go backpacking around Europe for a year, with limited funds I might add. His adventure begins when he gets scammed by a ‘lady’, wallet, cards and cash stolen. Lesson learned, but it doesn’t matter anyway, because once he meets sweet, caring, lovely Hayden Whitmore, he doesn’t desire any other woman, and that’s a new experience for him. She is everything Christopher isn’t. I just love it when a sexy billionaire is taken to his knees by the unexpected appearance of a woman who has no interest in his money or status. This book also has the added bonus that said woman doesn’t have any knowledge of said billionaire’s fortune. Lies and deceit (in his defence it’s unintentional deceit from our sexy billionaire). Christopher is so out of his depth when it comes to relationships, and Hayden is so patient and good with him. They make a wonderful couple, until reality sets in and Hayden finds out what she’s up against. Highly entertaining, with some truly endearing moments, Christopher was so over the top selfish it was funny, that said, he also had a very sensitive, kind side to him. Eddie I have to say was the real star of the show. I loved him. I’ve got to be honest and say I did shed a few tears. I was sad when the book ended. I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. This is my honest review.
