I spent alot of this book going between a 3 and 4 star review. I have loved every single book in the Miles High series. T.L. Swan has a way of writing that pulls you in and gets you invested in the characters, and this book was no different. I will say I enjoyed the second half of the book more than the first half.

I struggled with connecting to the backpacking story. Christopher is in his 30's, and yet the premise of the story felt very new adult to me. The behaviors exhibited felt juvenile at times. However, T.L. Swan's writing, Miles brother cameos, and connection to the characters made this a solid read for me.

This is the final book in The Miles High Club book series! I highly suggest reading the books in order as you will get the best experience of the stories that way!
The final book follows the youngest Miles brother Christopher! He takes off on a year long backpacking hiatus to hide from his identity and discover who he really is! This trip puts a lot of things in prospective for him and he meets amazing friends and Hayden! Hayden was perfect for Christopher and she truly showed him his value. She was patient and understanding. This book had so much in it! I laughed out loud so many times and I also cried! We also get some fun snippets of the other Miles Brothers! T.L. Swan is an amazing author and I can’t wait for me from her!
Thank you to the author and NetGalley for this advanced copy for my honest review.

The book was really easy to follow and I enjoyed the writing style.

Overall Book Review:

The book start out with Christopher coming to the realization that he’s a bit spoiled and entitled. He decided to backpack through Europe to challenge himself.

Christopher meets his love interest Hayden at a hostel. Hayden is a down to earth farmer and Christopher is a big city ceo. Although they are opposites in many ways, they form a beautiful friendship.

Hayden was such a likable character. Calm, patient and understanding.

Overall I really enjoyed this love story. The spice of course was amazing, this is TL SWAN.

Tropes:
- opposites attract
- innocent girl and bad boy
- secret identity

The Do-Over is 553 pages of amazingness! This book is so much more than I was expecting and I fell in complete love with Christopher and Hayden. There are so many moments where I laughed out loud because they were hilarious, and then a huge chunk of the ending of the book where my heart just broke for them. Christopher is spoiled and can be a bit selfish but you really root for him, you just know he can be better. Then you can see how good he can be when he meets a teenager named Eddie. My heart melted. Hayden is pure goodness and light who takes a year to go off in the world and just live, enter Christopher here. They fight hard for their love and kept me guessing if they were even going to be able to work it out until the very end. I could not put this book down and highly recommend it! This is a must read for anyone!

This was such a great story and book. I fell in love with the Miles brothers last year and have since re-read the series 2x. This story with Christopher and Hayden was just as good as the other if not better.

I loved seeing Christopher evolve and become his true self. T L swan writes the most hilarious scenes and I was laughing out loud for a lot of this book. I also love how he took care of Eddie throughout the whole book.

Hayden is my fav FMC from this series. She stayed true to who she was and didn’t sell herself short to be with a man. I cried happy tears and sad tears in this book. I loved every minute of it and I need and want the next book.

The Do-Over is the final book in the Miles High Club Series, and one of my most anticipated reads of the year! I'm so happy it did not disappoint. I laughed so so much, and truly enjoyed following along their journey.

Christopher and Hayden. Adored them. Great chemistry, hot and teasing banter, and just so fun! The side characters were also great, especially Eddie.

I also appreciated that we got to see a few old faces. I love when previous characters make cameos, especially cross-over ones.

I'm so happy the author is releasing a book of extended epilogues. I can't wait for more of the Miles family.

T L Swan can do no wrong. I love The Miles High Club series and Christopher's story had everything I love in romance stories. The banter between his brothers and later on between him and Hayden, who he nicknames Grumps is great. The story between him and Eddie was so heart warming and the ending brought tears to my eyes. This was a great final installment for the series and I absolutely can't wait for the Miles Brothers epilogues. Many thanks to the publisher for an eARC in exchange for my honest review. I'll be recommending this one to all of my friends on pub day!

Chris was NOTHING like I expected. He was so much more than I could have imagined. And Hayden, she seriously is just this perfect dream girl.
I love how unconventional the story of Christopher and Hayden was. This is not your typical billionaire romance - we got to see Chris take a page out of Jameson's book and shorten his name and for a while he wasn't a Miles brother. I loved how TL made you hate him for his billionaire, spoiled youngest child quirks but also made you fall in love with him as he fell in love with Hayden. Seeing them go from friends, to best friends and when they started spooning to dropping "babe" and "baby" and kissing shoulders. I was swooning just as hard as Hayden was!
The pining, the angst, the romance, the family.
Oh also - Eddie. I have so many hearts in my eyes and a massive case of warm fuzzies for this boy and his story.

The highly anticipated fourth book in the Miles High Club series was so different from the others & so much fun. Christopher’s journey of self-discovery was certainly a fresh take on a billionaire romance! There were so many hilarious moments in this story- from buying/packing his backpack, to working impossible jobs- the laughs just kept coming. But, at the end of the day, just like his brothers, Christopher Miles melted me into a puddle. He was, quite possibly, the absolute sweetest, especially given his complete cluelessness. Hayden’s grounded, level-headed personality gave her the upper hand a lot of the time, despite her inexperience, and it was lovely to see them balance each other out so perfectly. The spice was spicy, the HEA was happy (really, really happy), and I wish there were 10 more Miles brothers.

And the final instalment of The Miles High Series did not disappoint.
Christopher is everything. Funny, charming, charismatic and a bit of a donkey. But oh so lovable.
And then there's Hayden, that girl blew my mind. All the usual feels, emotions, frustrations and heartache for one of Tee's books.
It was so good to see the rest of the family too! My heart is so happy!
A massive round of applause to you @tlswanauthor you've written another amazing book!!

I felt like I had mixed opinions on this one! At times, I was unsure about the book, but ended up enjoying the ending. If you have read this series, you will probably enjoy this one!

It breaks my heart to give this rating but my oh my was this a bigger disappointment than the frozen pizza I had for dinner.

It started off really well! I loved the whole 'Let my rich self live like an ordinary pay cheque to pay cheque citizen' and seeing how aghast he is at how us common folk live.

But then things quickly spiralled out of control including Christopher's personality.
It was as if the author didn't know whether to make him the bratty baby-of-the-family character or the entitled, rich, self-absorbed character or the tantrum-throwing rich kid character. This dude was all over the place! One thing does stand throughout, he is entitled, spoilt and so selfish.

Hayden was not much better. She made no effort, NONE, to figure out what she wanted. She just wallowed and appeared at certain places at convenient times. A marshmallow if I ever saw one.

Chris and Hayden never communicated with each other. NEVER!!!! They would spew irrational thoughts, hurt feelings and sleep with each other. When I got to the end of the story, I felt I had no idea who these two characters were.

The Eddie plot was beyond ridiculous and not even I (a soap opera lover) could suspend my disbelief for that particular storyline.

The writing is so clunky and all over the place. I felt like I was having whiplash but without experiencing the impact beforehand. The MULTIPLE time jumps did not work in this story either. (If it's only an hour later, no need to let the reader know by announcing it before the start of the paragraph. I'm sure you can find more creative ways to indicate the passing of time)

With each new book in this series, that hero is my favorite. I wasn’t sure if Christopher was going to make the cut, but holy heck…he totally won me over and wormed his way into my heart. I will not be forgetting him for a long while.

Christopher had a lot to learn as he set out on his backpacking trip across Europe. I thought for sure he’d throw in the mini towel early on, but he stuck it out despite the smells and crazy characters. I began to fall in love with this hero that on the surface didn’t offer much in the way of any emotional depth.

While he was attracted to Hayden from the beginning, this is not the type of storyline where the hero immediately fell in love with the heroine and wanted only her. Instead, he slowly began to transition from the playboy he was into someone that became an incredible hero. Watching it was hilarious, moving and definitely sexy.

I’m really not about the heroine, but Hayden did make her mark with me as she was such a great heroine. When she was struggling, I felt the pain and when she was happy, I was just as ecstatic. She was the perfect counterpoint to Christopher as she was honest and upfront with a background that had given her a sense of calm that she brought into her relationship with him.

When this couple faced a major conflict, I sobbed at the result. I worried that the end was going to be contrived to make things work or that the author would force Hayden into a position that went against who she was at heart. Not so. Along the way to their happy ever after, I found myself crying even more as Christopher took a step that I had been hoping for all along but was unsure of the outcome. While I had plenty of tears in the last part of the book, I had so many laugh out loud moments leading up to it. Literally laugh out loud as in a burst of laughter that I couldn’t contain. So glad I was alone when that happened.

This is a lengthy book and it was difficult to set aside. I found myself thinking about it during those times and anxious to get back into the story. It’s filled with secondary characters that were fun and brought their own humor to the page. That included his family, particularly his brothers as well as Hayden’s father who I loved as he got to know Christopher. These are the types of characters that I’d love to see again in a novella that updates us on this couple’s relationship.

All of that to say, I absolutely LOVED this book and I didn’t even touch on what were some of the steamiest scenes I’ve read in a while. Definitely a fun, sexy, emotional story well worth reading.

I can't cope with overwhelming emotions right now !!!

TL Swan delivers another fantastic read, that had set my heart on fire. This is a goodbye and definitely a bittersweet ending... I love SO much Miles Brothers, that I'm not ready to leave this world.

The Do Over is pure magic. Christopher and Hayden are explosive adventure, TL used her neverending magic, so like always, I laughed my a** off, and ugly sobbed more than often.

Hayden is perfect girlfriend and such a sweetheart, that You can only love with every single heartbeat. You know this feeling, when the sun starting to shine at Your face, after rainy, cold day ???? Hayden is my sunshine, she's different but she's amazing just the way she is. She took Christopher by surprise, and guess what ??? She is exactly everything what he needed!

Friends to lovers never looked so good, People! This is official, but also not surprising 🙃😅... I fall deeply for the last Miles Brother and his Girl ! I can't wait for You all to read this book.

Did I just fall in love with another Miles brother? Yes, yes I did. Christopher Miles had me swooning, laughing and crying through this book. He truly has it all. When Christopher starts to realize even though he has everything in life but still feels empty he needs to do something about it. He decides to take a year off to go backpacking. Once he gets there, the hostel he is staying in is a disaster rethinking his plan. Until he meets his new roommate, Hayden. She is smart, sweet, and down to earth the perfect someone for Christopher. They go from strangers to best friends to lovers and the wild ride is so worth it. Their banter with one another was so funny. I loved every minute of their story and growth together. TL Swan has truly done it again with the Miles brothers.

once again, TL Swan has brought us a new swoony billionaire to fall for 😍 This was book four in the miles high club and follows the youngest brother, Christopher.

Christopher has a stark realization that he not living his life as the person he wants to be, after being told by quite a few people in such a short amount of time, he decides he needs to step back from his glamorous life and go on a year long adventure to find his true self.

what i loved most about this was getting to experience the traveling as if i was there with all of them. It truly felt authentic and getting to see the relationships that were built along the way was so special.

another this i loved was the push and pull between Christopher and Hayden. Growing their relationship from strangers to best friends to lovers was a wild experience. They hit so many speed bumps along the way but really tried their hardest to be open and make things work. In the end after so many roller coaster emotions they got their HEA.

One things i couldn’t groove with as well was the time hopping. Though i know it had to be done. given, if we truly experienced all 12 months, the book would never end! But some parts just felt like BAM here we are! that is why i couldn’t give it a full 5 stars.

Overall this book was fabulous and now i just am in love with all the Miles brothers and it just doesn’t seem fair that they aren’t real!!

TL Swan always has a way of having extremely hilarious moments to break up some of the heaviness in her stories… some fun moments that i absolutely loved and will always think about.
1. the taxi/vomit scene
2. christopher being scared of gorilla girl
3. THE YACHT SCENE 😂

OMG!!!!! I loved this book so much. Christopher won my heart. Even though I'm sad to say goodbye to the Miles brothers, I loved this book. I think I will need a few weeks to recover from this hangover. Definitely a must read.
