The Do-Over (The Miles High Club)

Oh, I absolutely loved reading this book! What a wonderful love story. Laugh out loud funny too, especially if you didn't grow up in the city, you can really appreciate the humor at the end. I liked this book because it had a different scenario that Cristo and Haze went through, at least I think that's what Eddie nicknamed her. It wasn't towards the ending either but a real part of the story and the ending was fantastic!

I loved the whole series ( The Miles High Club), but this was my favorite. The four brothers (each one has a book) are successful billionaires, but they didn't have a normal childhood. The women they fall for are average, down-to-earth, people. That's where the fun starts! Activities we take for granted, like getting a job, and taking orders from a boss and swallowing what you'd really want to say, are foreign to them. Christopher, (oh hero), decides to take a sabbatical from the family business to go backpacking through Europe. His brothers laugh hysterically, saying he's too spoiled to last a week, never mind a year! When, on his first night in Barcelona, his card is stolen and the account he set up for the trip expenses is emptied, he is forced to take jobs to earn his keep. Enter Hayden, (our heroine). She lives on a farm and is also backpacking for a year, and they meet at the hostel, where they are sharing a room with four others. They all hang out and become friends, but no-one knows who he is, they think he's just another broke traveller making his way through Europe. Throughout the book, Christopher starts to realize how fortunate he is, and how much he's taken for granted. As they get closer, he tries to figure how to tell Hayden he's been lying to her, and who he really is. Definitely one of the funniest books I've read in a long time.

"The Do-Over" by T.L. Swan is the last book in the miles high series 😔 i really enjoyed these books and will definitely have withdrawals, its a book about romance with some naughty and nice moments! 😆

The story follows Christopher Miles, the youngest brother, the one that everyone believes is spoiled and the one that is expected to mess it all up because he’s the baby of the family and has never needed to lift a finger, poor boy, wants to prove his brothers wrong…he decides to take a break from his high-powered lifestyle and travel through Europe anonymously, he leaves his money 💰 and last name behind. During his travels, he meets Hayden Whitmore, an independent and spirited woman.

Miss Hayden Whitmore is a strong and independent woman with her own dreams and aspirations. Her relationship with Christopher challenges her to rethink her priorities and what she wants from a partner, she comes from a simpler life and lets not forget that since Miles is maintaining low key she doesn’t get to know the rich successful Miles…who would have thought that having to tell someone you are rich could be the problem of the day…

She’s a country girl through and through who booked this trip after breaking up with her childhood boyfriend. At the hostel bar they meet this young boy called Eduardo who works there. There starts the adventure. Ups and downs. Fights and jobs. Issues with BO and the no hanky panky at the hostel this is a very entertaining read.

The Do-Over was an okay read. While there were several elements I really enjoyed throughout the story, certain aspects and how they were handled were just not my favorite.

This is the fourth and final book in the Miles High Club Series. So I would recommend just reading the prior books first. I would also suggest checking the content warnings as well.

There were some great tropes that I really liked such as: friends to lovers, close proximity, opposites attract and secret identity.

The first half of the book was good, I liked the backpacking aspect and the friend group. There were some amusing and entertaining moments between them all. The hero was definitely clueless about a lot of things, which was quite funny.

However, there were some issues I had with the overall writing. The flow and pacing of the story was quite abrupt and confusing at times. There were chapters and scenes that changed too quickly and just didn’t make sense.

I also struggled with the hero to be honest. While I understood he had the whole playboy personality, how he acted in certain situations specifically involving women and sex was just too immature. That one scene when he goes back home and interacts with the two women was just disappointing, especially because there was already strong feelings between the heroine and him. While there was no cheating, it just made it a bit difficult for me to like him.

The relationship/romance between the main characters was okay. While there were some cute and amusing moments between them, I wanted the hero to compromise and grovel a bit more. I did like however, how they started off as really good friends and how natural their connection was. The spice was pretty good as well.

Their reconciliation was a bit rushed and I wanted a bit more communication between them but nonetheless they had a cute conclusion.

I will say that the one aspect I really did like was the friendship between the kid, Eddie and the hero. I loved how he looked out and cared for him. I also really enjoyed the moments between all the Miles brothers together.

Overall, just a decent read.
