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.
4.5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Do-Over was able to get me out from my reading slump because how is it possible for me to finish a 553 pages book in less than 12 hours? I'm telling ya, something about TL Swan's writing is just so addictive that I can't help but devour it from page to page.
Up until now, I still can't believe I finally finished reading the last book in this series. All those years of waiting for Christopher's book is totally worth it because this book is just so good. I love everything about it. From the plot, storyline, romance, and characters. Everything is just top tier and TL Swan really delivers it as great as her other books.
Christopher and Hayden is certainly one of my favourite couples who served friends to lovers trope. The attraction has always been there between them from the very beginning but they didn't cross the line since Christopher and Hayden's belief in romance are the complete opposite. Him not believing in long lasting relationship and her cherishing love more than anything else.
Now, I won't be saying anything more to avoid spoiler but these two are just everything! I love them so much! Their chemistry is totally off the chart and the sexual tension? *chef kiss*. Their connection runs so deep that you can literally feel the love that they have for each other. All their moments really stole my heart. There are some funny moments, sweet ones, and even emotional ones.
Overall, The Do-Over was an amazing read and I enjoyed every part of it. Even though this book isn't my most favourite in the series, but it still has its own special buzz that made the book perfect in its own way. Despite it being lengthy, I still kinda wished it was longer. I don't know why but I just needed more. Something about the last few chapters aren't enough for me. But again, it didn't affect my enjoyment or anything.
Anyways, if you love the previous books in the series, then you will certainly love The Do-Over. Highly recommend everyone to give this book a chance. You definitely don't want to miss this!
I have to admit I was worried I wouldn’t like Christopher for a good part of the book. I mean he was a spoiled, immature brat. But those chapters where he got set up and started backpacking and staying at a hostel were epically funny. And then, this author did a masterful job unraveling the onion that is Christopher. But she did so realistically and I’m such a way that never made you feel like Christopher made a 180 immediately, which so many stories do, when dealing with a bad boy. I also adored Hadley and add in Eddie and this was a fun, fantastic story that kept my attention throughout. My only complaint was that the ending was a little abrupt, tied up a little too neatly. And while we got to see his brothers throughout the book, we didn’t see the wives- would have been nice to follow up a little with them too. But still, a fun and fantastic addition to this series.
Christopher is living the high life, wine & women whenever he wants, but when people start pointing out how entitled he is he takes a look at his life and realises something need to change. He decides to go backpacking through Europe for a year (at 31 which I found odd). He is incognito as he doesn’t want anyone to know how rich he is. On his first day he meets Hayden, a down to earth farm girl who immediately recognizes him as a player and decides they should just be friends. They become part of a group of backpackers who decide to travel around together and they become increasingly close. Things really heat up between them, but I didn’t like what Hayden kept calling him,. He was very arrogant and expected Hayden to fit into his life and wasn’t willing to compromise. She wanted to be with him but received quite a shock when she saw what his normal life was like. I am a fan of TL Swan and the Miles High series is my favourite series by her so I was really looking forward to reading this book, but I was quite disappointed. I just couldn’t connect with the main characters. I liked to addition of Eddie the teenage bartender and how they looked out for him but things that happened with him didn’t make sense to me.

This book took me on an emotional roller coaster. Christopher and Hayden experienced so much personal growth but we’re still flawed and relatable (you know except for one being a billionaire). I loved them, I was infuriated by them, I laughed and I cried.
Christopher especially surprised me with his emotional growth. I’m not going to lie, he wasn’t my favorite of the brothers at the start of the book but his journey showed me how big his heart really was and I absolutely loved him by the end.
Hayden needed some help breaking out of her shell and doing things outside her comfort zone. Christopher and their friends were exactly what she needed. I loved the confidence she gained throughout their travels and it broke my heart when she started to doubt herself. But she was strong, persevered and ultimately found her prince.
My only wish for this book is that we had an epilogue right now. I know one is coming and I can’t wait. But right now I’m left missing a little glimpse of their future and I can’t let it go. I’m too attached to these characters.
I’ve become emotional invested in the whole Miles clan and I am sad that their series is coming to an end. I’m ready to reread the series again just so I don’t have to say goodbye.
I am a huge TL Swan fan. I’ve read several of her books and The Miles High Club series is one of my all time favorite series. I have been patiently waiting for this book and was SO excited to get an ARC of it. This book is AMAZING. I loved it. I read it in a day. It was such a fun story and I absolutely love Christopher and Hayden. There were times where I was laughing so hard and other times where I was crying and so full of emotions. And the spice was great. What else could you ask for? I’m sad that this is the last love story in this series but it ended in such a beautiful way. Well done TL! It’s a must read for sure!
The 4th Billionaire Miles Brother Christian is a hottttt player known for just that- playing.
He feels like he is at a dead end and wants a change and decides to pack up and go backpacking for a year. Hayden Whitmore is ready for a change in her life and is set to travel for a year and they both end up at the same hostel in Spain... Let the Spice Begin!!

T.L. Swan knows how to write a heart-wrenching, spicy stories that I could truly feel in my heart. Usually the third act misunderstanding is something that is really annoying and does nothing for the plot, but by the third act I felt where the characters were and needed to know how they would get to the HEA that we all love! I loved the whole journey!
The Do-Over is the fourth book of the series and features Christopher, the baby of the family. Christopher doesn’t do relationships, gets laid on the regular, and has more money than he knows what to do with - so why does he feel so empty? In order to prove to himself and his brothers that he is more than just a sex crazed billionaire afraid of commitment, Christopher sets off on a one year backpacking trip - no money, no Miles family perks. What could go wrong?
Like the other books in this series, I could not put The Do-Over down. This friends-to-lovers romance was captivating from the start and I ate up every last word. Hayden and Christopher’s situationship was filled with longing and angst - when things finally heated up, I thought I would spontaneously combust! The backpacking aspect of The Do-Over was perfectly done and lent itself to this being one amazing adventure. The way it all played out in the end was exactly what I had hoped for and yes, I cried a little bit. It’s Eddie’s fault.
I can’t wait to see the Miles family again in the Miles Ever After!
A billionaire travels incognito on a backpacking trip in Europe and falls in love. She isn't interested and just wants to be friends...
Love both characters. They are fun, exciting, sexy and sweet together. I love hearing from the rest of the Miles brothers of course. It was fun seeing them again. A terrific escapist romance. Love it.
Thanks to the publisher for the arc.
It was okay. I feel like you know what you're getting when you read these type of books. Neither of the main characters were particularly likeable. I think I'd rather read about one of the other brothers.
Kindly received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Can they make the dream last after they will have to put down their backpacks…
Oh my!
I know it is bad but I needed to read this book, such a full of feel-good sentiments.
My first read by the author was the previous book, Elliot’s story, and it was so emotionally and sensually charged, I did not think I could read a better tale.
But this book while being diametrically different, as not an office romance but a on-the-road romantic journey, exceeded my wishes.
Christopher is the youngest and last unmarried brother from the Miles brood, he oozes and breathes sex, with absolutely no impulse to change his single status until his brothers having fun with him let slip to them he is unable to commit, too spoiled to change his lifestyle and to be the man of one woman and if he were to find her he would be unable to keep her.
It is a kind of awaking for him, as who is he without his name, wealth and city’s comfort. He get everything he wants without so much lifting a finger, he works hard and lives fast, a social sexual being.
Thus the sabbatical year to discover himself.
Hayden, after her breakup with her boyfriend, has withdrawn from social life, she has her job, her family and for two years it has been enough. Why embarking into the unknown alone is quite a jump for her, but a needed respite to let the past go and start anew. She is a down to earth quiet woman, checking out things and places from her bucket list, meeting new people and learning to live a little out of her usual bubble, not looking for grand things, just experiencing life as best she can.
When they first meet, they immediately clash, pretty city boy and country girl, and while he hides who he is, at time, he struggles to let his old way behind while Hayden learns to open and trust again. They become fast friends after the first bickering moments. They complete one another as she comes out of her shell and he reveals the man behind his name but with him hiding who he is back to normal life and she a commitment kind of girl, will things go spiraling down or can they make it work in the long term…
This is a beautifully written love story but also the experience of a lifetime, to have the courage to leave everything behind and begin again with no judgement from people around as they are all in this together.
While it is an intense moving read it has also its fun and witty instants as they all adapt to make this journey unforgettable.
Hayden and Christopher’s journey is an heartrending one, leaving you shattered but sentimentally fulfilled and demanding more of them, of Hayden, Christopher and Eddie.

I have been granted an advance copy by the publisher, here is my true and unbiased opinion.
As an avid TL Swan fan, The Do-Over is the cherry on the top of the Miles High Series. The story is the perfect balance of humor, romance and spice as I've come to expect from TL Swan books. Christopher's story was filled with emotional depth and we see his and Hayden's characters experience personal and relationship growth. The crossover appearances of other TL Swan characters was such a delight and I cannot wait for more from TL Swan.

5/5 ⭐️
Christopher, Christo, Chris…where do I even begin?! This book had a little bit of enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, and one and only feel. This book had me hating him one minute and loving him the next. The “do-over” premise was introduced in Tue Casanova, so I was excited to see how Christopher’s adventure would be and now I have and it was SO good! My favorite thing about this book is Hayden is just a super relatable character compared to the other three female leads in the series. The way she was described, she was your girl next door. Their banter and arguments were just so funny. And unlike the other three, you definitely see a lot of growth in Christopher and I appreciated that the obstacle they had to go through wasn’t Miles Media related but something deeper and more substantial. This was such a good end to a very sexy, smart, and witty series. I am so excited for the release to get my hands on my physical copy and add Christopher in with the rest of his brothers. 😍🥰🤍💯
I have been waiting for this final installment in the Miles High Club series and have to say that it definitely does not disappoint!! The feels in this book are exhilarating and I would catch myself laughing out loud, smirking, swearing, sweating, and emotionally crying… the whole gamut. Loved the scenes with all the brothers and other cast of characters from her other books. This book is one for the times and I can’t wait to read it again. Love, love , love this baby… ok not enough said but definitely read this one.
2.5/5 ☆
This was just okay. Felt a bit all over the place and the writing wasn’t my favorite. Christopher wasn’t super likable either and Hayden was a pushover. Don’t think anyone will top Tristan for me.
Sexy, sexy, sexy is how I would describe THE DO-OVER by T L Swan. I've only read one other book in her Miles High series, but I must go back and read the others.
When a series involves a family and their romance stories, particularly male characters, it can be tricky. I think
T L does a good job of navigating all these characters. We get glimpses into their lives post their "own books." And that's a lot of fun.
THE DO-OVER is Christopher Miles' story. I have mixed feelings about this character. He's super entitled and a brat. He's also a perfectionist trying to keep up with his successful brothers in business AND romantic lives. This is his big obstacle to overcome.
This book starts with Christopher and two other women after a "tryst" so just know it's a bit risque.
I liked Hayden's character and the way she was determined to teach Christopher how to love. However, they both seemed to not want to grow. In the end, of course, they compromised, but it was a long struggle to get their. Then again, that's the beauty of these types of romances, no?
Most of the book is set during their year-long backpacking adventure. For me, I wasn't a fan of the wandering characters journey. I'd rather a corporate setting because that's the "Miles High" series. But, I liked how the side characters were featured AND they stuck together with the same pack throughout the story.
I read the book quickly and that's always a sign it's a good one!
Thank you NetGalley and Amazon Publishing UK for an e-copy of THE DO-OVER to review.
I rate THE DO-OVER by T L Swan four out of five stars.
There is something about the Miles High Club series that makes me instantly drop what I'm doing to devour. I thought Tristan was safe in his spot as my favourite Miles man but in walks Christopher who is grumpy, playful and full of sass. I made the mistake of reading this on the train yesterday and was laughing like a maniac. I was going to say I will miss this series but knowing there is an extended epilogue book coming next makes me super happy. This series is without a doubt one of my ultimate comfort reads.
