You know how when you are getting to the end of a book and you don’t want it to end but then you want to know how it ends. This book had me stalling to finish it because I didn’t want it to be over.

I had this feeling Christopher’s story might break my heart but little did I know how well it would be put back together by Hayden. And there is this side character (this one’s human, unlike Elliotts’d ducks) that will also steal your heart.

This story though was the most epic way to end a series. I know we are getting bonus scenes in 2023 but Christopher and Hayden’s story was like saving the best for last. The author did that and anyone who says differently is lying…lol. This book was like the culmination of every brother and of course it happened to be the youngest one. And Hayden, I couldn’t love a heroine more then I love her and in a little way I see a little of myself in her (that’s probably why she burrowed into my heart).

This series will be one I always recommend. And yes I know they are considered standalone but you won’t get the full effect of the whole story, all 4 books if you don’t read them in order.

This book was just another reason why TL Swan will always be a one-click author for me.

I literally just read this entire series back to back in order to get to this one and simply, my life will never be the same. Holy 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

I really, really loved this book! The chemistry was excellent and the pacing was perfect. Yet another slam dunk by TL Swan!

In this sexy installment of the Miles High Club series from bestselling author T L Swan, a billionaire playboy goes incognito on a backpacking trip in Europe. But how long can he hide from love?

I’m wealthy, powerful, and able to get any woman I want.

So why do I feel so empty inside?

In search of a deeper me, I take a sabbatical from my privileged life. One year of backpacking around Europe: a new identity, no contacts, and no money. Not a bad plan, I think.

Until I get there.

A crowded hostel room, body odor, and beer bongs—there are no words for the fresh hell I’ve landed in.

But amid the chaos, I meet my new roommate, Hayden Whitmore. She sleeps in the bed opposite me, and I openly admit to staring at her more than I sleep. Beautiful, innocent, and smart. Not my usual type but perhaps the perfect woman.

There’s just one small problem with the divine Miss Hayden. She’s totally unaffected by my charm. Nothing is working, and now, I’ve been friend zoned.

What?

But the good thing about me is that I’m an incredible problem solver, and I’ve come up with a diabolical plan. I’m going to slide right in under her friend zone. Be the best damn friend she ever had, hold her hand, make her laugh, and spoon with her in bed.

But now there’s another problem.

Hayden is the one who is sliding under my skin, and maybe friendship isn’t enough.

This is the fourth book in the Miles High Club series. I HATED Christopher at the start, but he really redeemed himself throughout this book. Well written with plenty of steam and chemistry.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.

I really enjoyed the last book in the Miles High Club series. I really enjoy TL Swan's writing and story telling. The characters she writes and the situations they are put in are so unique and entertaining. By doing this she enhances the romance in the story and makes the experience for the reader so much better than expected.

Christopher Miles is out with his brothers when they make a slight comment hinting that he is spoiled. This doesn't sit well with him and to prove them wrong he decides to backpack through Europe. He finds a hostel in Europe and travels there. We see him get ready for the trip and it's really funny. I didn't think he would stick through with his plan but he meets Hayden, a farmer girl from NY. Hayden is down to Earth and hasn't had the best track record with men because her ex was her HS sweetheart who cheated on her.

Christopher and Hayden don't start off on the right foot but their relationship slowly develops. For the first half of the book we watch as their friendship grows. They become each other's best friends and it's beautiful. We see how Hayden has to resist Christopher because she doesn't want to ruin their friendship by sleeping together but we also see how Christopher develops feelings for her. The entire time they are traveling together Christopher doesn't tell Hayden he is actually part of the Miles Media family and is actually rich.

Once she is told, she is too caught up in the news to say much. He convinces her to give him a chance and move to London. We watch as the two struggle to adapt to life outside of backpacking.

Overall, I loved how the relationship developed and the angst we felt for a large part of the book. I also loved Christopher's growth throughout the book and the way he had to work on not quitting on things just because he thought he'd fail. This was a steamy read and was the perfect end to the series.

I have been waiting for Christopher’s story and this didn’t disappoint. He was bratty and spoiled which I wasn’t ready for but watching him throughout this story made my heart so full. TL Swan cannot do anything wrong. If you love TLs books and the Miles High club the. You need this book!

This book deserves all the stars in the world! I absolutely loved this book with my whole heart and will forever have Christopher as my favourite Miles brother!

I love that even though Christopher was basically told he has no substance that didn’t stop him from proving everyone wrong! He decided that he was going to do something even if it was a bit extreme and way out of his comfort zone!

I love how much he changed in regards to relationships and just being relaxed! The relationship he not only developed with Hayden but with Eddie as well made my heart skip a beat! Christopher doing his do over and backpacking for a year changed him for the better and it was honestly inspiring!

I loved the yacht scene - it literally had me in stitches!

He was fiercely loyal to his family and his job and even though he loved Hayden immensely there was that doubt in his head about them working but of course everything worked out in the end and they ended up at bumfuck nowhere!

Much like all of her books, this was incredible. It’s spicy but still has a great plot. Detailed, thought out storyline with believeable characters. I love the brothers but I think that he’s my new favorite!!

Of course she did nothing less than exceed every expectation I had of this book! Just like the others, I could not put this down! This song reminds me of Taylor Swifts Afterglow. Of course she perfectly ties in all the characters and their stories from the other books of the series. You fall in love with Christo, Grumps, and Eddie. I will absolutely re read this book. Well worth the read!

Christopher is spoiled. He decides to see what life is like without money and backpack around Europe.
Hayden is trying to get away from her heartbreak and open herself up to what else is out there, even if she is being pushed to.

Their relationship doesn’t start off with a bang but slowly it develops into more. But one of them is keeping a secret that may change everything.

I really enjoyed the banter between all the brothers, I lived for it!

No one will top Tristan for me, ever. The Do Over started to pick up around 50% and I found myself not wanting to put it down.

-Opposites Attract
-Friends to Lovers
-Secret Identity

Mission failed!

"The Do-Over" is the fourth and last book from the Miles-High series by T.L Swan. However, this book can be read as a standalone.

For me, there are only two extremes with the author's books - I either hate them or love them. Unfortunately, she could not inspire me with "The Do-Over".

Unfortunately, this was not only due to the unsuccessful realisation of the plot, but mainly due to the horrible and obnoxious protagonist Christopher.

Christopher is absolutely spoiled and whinythere is no character development at all. He is not a character I particularly like, because he is far too over the top and spoiled form e. Nevertheless, he has a good heart. That's why I find it a pity that there was no character development in him.

I actually liked Hayden at the beginning of the story. She made a down-to-earth and intelligent impression on me. In the course of the story, my sympathy for her diminished a bit, because I just found her naive.

Sadly, the backpacking theme was ticked off extremely quickly and uncharitably. Suddenly, the countries visited were only summarised on one page, which I found more than stupid and was not the aim of the story.

Unfortunately, I also didn't like the way the story progressed.

Unfortunately, "The Do-Over" only gets 1 out of 5 stars from me.

Thanks to NetGalley US and T.L Swan for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I am having such a book hangover, I thought Tristan was my favorite Miles brother, but Christoper may have just stolen the top spot.

Christopher was such a complex character, at first I didn’t think I was going to like him, he seemed to spoiled and snotty for my liking, but of course he proved me wrong. He comes to a crossroads in life after being teased he is spoiled and doesn’t know how to do thing by himself, so he sets off on a sabbatical for a year to find himself. I loved it when he first walked into the hostel, I laughed so hard, does he really know what he’s getting into?

I absolutely loved Hayden, she was so down to earth, I could see myself being friends with her. Setting off on a year to find herself, the last thing she expected was Christopher. She was able to strip him of his pretentiousness’ and had him exploring his life and it’s decisions.

As always I love catching up with all the Miles brothers and their families. Keep an eye out at the end for a special announcement!

4.5⭐️ 2.5🌶


TL Swan. The woman is a genius. This has been my most anticipated book of the year and it didn’t disappoint. I know not everyone gels with her writing style but I do. So yeah I can overlook imperfections in the plot lines. Her endings are epic. They never fail to tear me apart in just the right way, before getting to the HEA. Ok off my soapbox.

I love how this book starts out with Christopher and his brothers. Their banter and bond is something spectacular. A little cheesy and over the top but 🤩 nonetheless. Getting this glimpse of all of them makes me want to immediately go back and re-read the series.

As the book blurb indicates, Christopher, or Christo😉, is taking time to away to discover who he really is. His journey will give you all the feels. 🥰🥺🥵😂. I won’t say too much other than I dare you to come away and not fall in love with Eddie. 💕

We really didn’t get to know a lot about Christopher from the previous Miles brothers books other than he was the baby, playboy brother who had no intentions of settling down, especially with one woman 😏 But let’s talk about how wonderful he is. He has bits and pieces of his brothers in him but boy does he have the biggest heart. The way he’s a simp for Hayden is so endearing and this is coming from someone who LOVED The Stopover and Jameson’s alpha character.

Yes the spice is lacking in this book, but I didn’t mind because I really did enjoy the story that much.

I’ll just say the 3rd act break is so heartbreaking yet so authentic. 😭 There’s a lot of stubbornness but also maturity in what unfolded. But the ending couldn’t haven’t been more perfect.

I CANNOT wait for Valentine’s Day when we get to read the extended epilogues for all the brothers. I will never not think about this series. 💯

*Thank you to TL Swan, Amazon Publishing and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review*

What can I say about this book? Brilliant. Hilarious. Swoony. Christopher Miles is the funniest, and most clueless of the Miles brothers. I simply loved Cosmo and Helga (or Grumps). TL Swan is amazing.

3.5/5 - Book #4 of the Miles High Series; eARC received

So sad the Miles brother series is over! I loved them all, and while Christopher wasn’t my favorite, I still really enjoyed this series! I love how T.L always includes characters from other series included (Julian Masters and Sebastian Garcia of the Mr. Series). This book, I loved Hayden’s incredible sweet character. The general friendship between her and Christo was a bit frustrating, and Christo was just too entitled, even at the end when he is ‘reformed’ and their third act break-up made me aggressively angry, but I loved the ending, including the incorporation of

Brief Plot: Christopher is a spoiler 30-something millionaire who decides to go off the grid for a year to backpack across Europe, where he shares a group room with other 20-30 year olds, to include Hayden, and girl from farm area in upstate New York. Ats the two get to know each other, Hayden friend zones Christian because he’s still too spoiled. Over the year, Christian is challenged to change his frame of mind, and then he and Hayden may stay a chance. OR are their lives too spereate to ever work together?

Thank you NetGalley and Amazon Publishing UK for an eARC coy of The Do-Over by T. L. Swan. This is my honest review!

4.5⭐️s! I absolutely loved this book!! I have missed reading about the Miles brothers. Christopher’s book was one of my most anticipated read this year and it did not disappoint.

The banter between the brothers had me actually laughing out loud. I love their relationships! 😂🥰

Christopher is definitely the most stubborn of the brothers, but I really enjoyed seeing him overcome his relationship hang ups throughout his book. Hayden really changed the game for him. I loved her as a character. They had great banter, soo much chemistry, and she was so patient with him. 🥺 Don’t even get me started on their relationships with Eddie!! The cutest EVER.

100% recommend this book.

3.75 round up to a 4

Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC.

This was like coming home, in the sense that you knew what you were getting.

This is the story of Christopher, the youngest Miles brother and Hayden, a sweet country girl.

I really enjoyed Christopher’s redemption ARC, from playboy to someone who is ready for a relationship.

It had that signature Swan humour too. I really loved seeing Christopher get ready for the trip.

I have missed the Miles brothers so much and it was good to see them again and catch up with what was
going on in their lives. I cannot wait to read the epilogue in February.

Unfortunately, this was a very generous three star from me. The Takeover is one of my favorite books and that magic is hard to capture twice but I do not believe that Tristian Miles would ever have punched a door while screaming at his crying girlfriend to come out of the room she was hiding from him in. Christopher Miles though. What are you doing?

I liked that he took time to self reflect in his year abroad backpacking across countries but I don't feel like he was much different than when he started. His mother sat him down with his therapy notes from when he was 10 years old and said basically here are things to work on. Not once in the 21 years since then did anyone put him back into therapy or have a conversation with him about it? It just felt so odd. There were several time jumps that made transitions really choppy.

If this had been a standalone out of a different series (minus the scene mentioned above) I don't know that I would have judged it so harshly but I know what TL Swan is capable of and I'm afraid this wasn't it.

Thank you to Netgalley for a copy in exchange for an honest review. My opinions are my own.

I hate to leave a negative review for any book; I know how hard authors write to create these stories but honestly, this one was not for me.

I listened to the first three in this series and was excited for Christopher’s story! But to me, he was not a likeable MMC nor did he redeem himself or change. He expected Hayden to do whatever he wants just because he’s Christopher Miles, even after he spent a year away from his family/the business.

Hayden…I feel like she had so much promise but also fell flat for me. She blamed herself for not trying harder when clearly Christopher wasn’t trying.

I had high hopes for the premise of this book, but it wasn’t for me. As I always say for books that weren’t for me: give it a try, it might be for you!

I am torn with how I feel about this book. On one hand, as always, The writing is fantastic... on the other, I feel the flow, and at times pace, is inconsistent. Once we get to the end, certain aspects that were considered important are no longer involved. This makes the story feel forced rather than organic and true to the characters. I hate to say it, but this was my least favorite book in the series.
