Pack you bags and let's go on an adventure. Because that is what I call The Do-Over by T.L.Swan. A swoony, entertaining, spicy and incredibly emotional adventure. Christopher and Hayden made me laugh till my cheeks hurt, gave me all warm fuzzy feels and captured my heart. Another perfect masterpiece from T.L. Swan. Get ready for the ride.

Billionaire playboy Christopher Miles is having an existential crisis. To find himself, he decides to go backpacking..without money and without his real identity. And on his first stop in Spain, he meets Hayden. He was trying awkwardly to deal with the simplest things of life as he never had to worry about these before. Sweet and sassy Hayden slowly gets under his skin. But the question is: can he really commit putting aside his fears? What will happen when Hayden comes to know about his true life?

Christopher is an adorable ahole. Ahole..not in the bad way. He is the youngest Miles and he was born into riches. So it was a shock to him to experience life in such raw form. And he behaved a bit snobby initially. It's a long way from the billionaire playboy penthouse to a stinking backpacker's hostel. But he is so nice at the core. He adapted fast. He made friends. He showed that he care about people. He asked questions about himself even when the answers were not always pretty. And damn he is sexy as sin! His arrogance, his c0cky charm, his scorching hot sex appeal..all add to the list of reasons he is an epic hero. But, for me, the most attractive part was his vulnerability. He wants perfection and control but his trip and Hayden stripped him off every pretensions. He fall hard and fierce and that unsettled him. He gets angry when losing control, he gets irrational when things go down but his way of loving Hayden is magnificent.

And our billionaire bad boy needed someone exactly opposite like Hayden to destroy the walls. This woman is awesome. She comes from country and she loves her family farm and her unique job. She is kind and goofy and hilarious and also absolutely fierce. She love the Christopher without money or fame. But she didn't let him bulldoze his way through her life later. Her dreams and aspirations are equally important.


The author took me around the world through some interesting setups, amazing people and intriguing experiences. I cannot remember the last time I had so much fun in a romance. Hayden and Christopher had a flirty and hilarious beginning. Loads of swoon, bonding time, slow burn and emotional build up. And then the flood gate opened and I went from smiling like a lunatic to clutching my heart in pain of angst. It was such a beautiful conundrum. It was an emotional rollercoaster for sure. I was laughing one moment, and the next moment the hard hitting emotions wrecked me. I was a mess of smile, tears and feels.

PS Extra points for the amazing sex scenes those were not just deliciously dirty, filthy and nuclear hot..they were also witty and took the story to next level.

PPS THE BROMANCE IS EPIC
I reviewed an early copy voluntarily through Netgalley and Montlake

I love all the Miles men but Christian holds a special place in my heart now, his naivety and humor had me smiling throughout the whole book🤌🏻🥰

The Do-Over by TL Swan is the perfect mix of fun, emotional and spicy. The youngest, Christopher Miles sets out to find himself and backpacks through the world where he meets new people, new places, new situations and the one girl that makes him change his mind about love.

I loved that she did not fall to his feet instantly and wasn’t a push over. She let him know how she felt and was emotionally intelligent and the slow burn of their relationship despite the hot chemistry and tension brewing between them. I loved her character so much, she was so sweet, down to earth, quick witted and just so cool. The friend group as well and I loved reading all the adventures and situations they found themselves in. I did enjoy the farm girl and rich boy trope and how their dynamic worked. The book overall for me is 4.6 stars and would’ve been 5 stars, but I wish TL Swan would drop is having the male main character call the love interest the b word when she’s validly angry at him for something he did and wish he would take more accountability for his actions and willingly to see things through her eyes. While he definitely did take some time to get there he was willingly to work on himself and make choices that put her above his needs which I thought was needed for his growth. I also loved seeing his brothers again and their brother relationship that they have with each other and how supportive and full of banter and bickering they are. I also loved the theme of found family and how their story ended. It was absolutely so sweet and emotional and had the perfect ending. I loved it.

Christopher surprised me at every turn, such a lovely story and an interesting pivot from the other brothers. If you love the miles men you’ll love this brother, but know it won’t follow the usual pacing and enjoy every moment!

I really enjoyed this one. And to be honest this one could stand on its own, you really woundnt need to read the other three, IMO. This was the FUNNIEST out of the whole series. I thought Tristan meeting Claire's kids was funny, but this one had so much more humor! It was steamy of course. I enjoyed that this one was in a totally different environment than the others. Christopher... while I wanted to slap him, I also wanted to hang out.

I don’t even know where to start with this, because this book was *literal perfection*. I felt alllll the emotions: I laughed so hard I snorted, I was frustrated at the real life scenarios Christopher and Hayden found themselves in, and I teared up as they made their way to their HEA.

Christopher Miles is a billionaire playboy that no one takes seriously. Hayden Whitmore is a cautious farm girl who has never traveled. They both find themselves staying in a hostel on a 12 month backpacking trip in Spain.

This was a friends to lovers story with THE BEST banter - the brothers’ interactions are so spot on, Hayden and Christopher’s flirting, basically anything Chris thinks or says. Christopher’s personality is distinctively carved out and he is simply put, my favorite TL Swan guy now. I SWOONED.

Hayden and Christopher’s story felt so organic and natural, I felt like I was spending time with my friends. I did not want this to end. These have legitimate issues to overcome and Sean does that realistically (although I definitely was mad at them for not figuring out the answer earlier lol). I read this in about 4 hours bc it’s that good. Props to TL Swan for dropping in 3 old friends, too ☺️

This book had me laughing out loud. Christopher is hilarious. When he decides to go on a year long backpacking trip everyone thinks he has lost his mind and honestly I agreed. When he gets to Spain and meets his roommates in the hostel it’s rocky at first because Christo is a fish out of water living in another world. They become quite the friend group and travel together, work crazy jobs and looked after each other along the way. One of them being Hayden. At first Hayden though Christo was a player but they became the best of friends and over time they became each other’s everything. This book had me laughing, made me feel emotional and then at the end made me love Christopher so much. He’s such a good guy under all the Miles wealth. Can’t wait to read the extended epilogues. I need more from the Miles Brothers. I received an ARC of this amazing book.

Thank you, Netgalley and Amazon, for giving me the chance to read and review this!!

I've been anticipating the 4th installment to this series since I read the 3 other ones last year!

I think this one takes a bit to get into/like Christopher. The beginning part was very rough for me to read. I understand part of it was just his bachelor personality that he's trying to let go of. Still, a lot of the language and vocabulary used towards women, sleeping around, and sex felt like overkill. It was just too much and slightly cringey to read those conversations. Christopher's narration, and even Hayden's at times, were tinged with a bit too much sexism for my taste.

However, it does get better! Once his and Hayden's friendship starts growing and Christopher's on the trip longer, it seems like they both come into their own (especially Christopher), and reading became effortless. I liked that this story showed a lot of introspection on Christopher's end; I didn't see that as much in the 3 other books. He definitely had the most to grow out of, and I think Swan did a good job making that happen. The pacing is relatively fast once the characters start coming into their own. I liked it much more in the middle and later half of the book. It's filled with many cute, sentimental, and funny moments. And I loved the different settings and where their trips take them; it felt like I was living through the characters themselves. I'm also always a sucker for when characters in past books/other works get mentioned, so I loved seeing the rest of the Miles men and other ones from other Swan's other series mentioned. Not to spoil anything significant, but that one scene on the boat was so incredibly funny; I'm so happy she included it.

I will say it's slightly predictable, especially if you've read the other 3 in the series. They all essentially follow the same formula, especially with that third and final act. However, I think T.L. Swan always ends her books on a perfect note; she gives a satisfying ending for both romantic interests that doesn't feel like one is getting more than the other.

The one thing I will remark on is that I felt some hesitancies with one character's storyline...It felt a bit white-savior-esque, especially with the character's actual life revealed towards the end (I don't want to spoil anything too much). I think a sensitivity reader would have been a good idea in this case, just so that that feeling of uncomfortableness could have been avoided. It was sweet and sentimental, but I'm also torn on it.

Overall, I think this makes for a great, quick, easy, romance beach read! I enjoyed it. I'll admit The Takeover with Tristan is still my favorite in the series, but if you've read any of the other 3, this one is a must-read so that you can see how all 4 brothers journey and where they end up. Only giving this one 3 stars because of my hesitances at the beginning and that other questionable storyline.

So, yes, still very much worth a read, and I definitely think any romance reader will fall in love with Christopher and his journey. I'm so sad to see the end of the Miles series but happy to have now read the lives of all of these characters. It feels like a bittersweet ending! Excited to see what else T.L. Swan has in the future (hint: make another series following different groups of friends/siblings cause I'm a sucker for them).

Fantastic book! The characters are easy to follow. Was able to read the book in less than a day and was intriguing throughout! Several twists keep the book engaging.

5/5 ⭐️
4/5 🌶️

This was such a great story. The characters, the plot, the ups and the downs, everything about it was perfect. I cried happy and sad tears (and I'm not much of a crier). It was the perfect ending to this amazing quartet of books about the Miles brothers.

Chris rivals Tristan as my favorite brother. He is so dang hot and has such a big heart. I love how he started this book not believing in love and found himself head over heels for a sweet, country girl. Hayden is probably my favorite of the FMCs. I love how strong she was, refusing to let go of any part of herself for a man. In the beginning it was about their physical relationship and in the end it was about her happiness.

The story had my heart aching so many times. It was such a roller coaster of emotions... Between Eddie, the parents, their hurdles and their love I was a mess. Chris's heart was bigger than I ever could have expected and Hayden's rivaled it. TL's books are always laugh out loud funny and The Do-Over was no different, the yacht scenes especially had me rolling. I loved their hostel friends and wish we got to see what their lives got off to. I was so happy we got to have a couple Miles family moments, any time they all get together it's a great time.

I'm sad this series is coming to an end. I swear I could read a dozen books about each brother and never get tired of them. The Stopover surprised me after a friend rec'd it and I fell in love with all four of these amazing men. Looking forward to Miles Ever After and getting to see Chris and Hayden's epilogue.

This book *sigh* New Boyfriend Alert!

Why T.L. Swan I wasn't ready!!!


Wow! Wow! This might just be my fav from the series {sorry Tristan...}

I'll add the full review after the release :)

I highly recommend this book!

I loved this book! This is TL Swan at her very best.

I don’t want to spoil anything but will say, I loved Christopher and Hayden. Their relationship and banter, the guest appearances from the other Miles boys and that surprise announcement at the end of the book (Miles brothers extended epilogue anyone?!) I struggled to put this book down and really enjoyed it. It’s not heavy/ angsty and will definitely give you a good laugh as well as a great story! Highly recommend!

Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC.

Wow! I’m obsessed with Christopher after this book. Straight up 5 star read for me. I loved all the characters including the side characters we met along the way. This book is tied with ‘The Casanova’ for me as my favourites in the series.
I’ve been counting down to August 30th to read this book so was absolutely thrilled to manage to get an ARC of it. I’m in love with this full series! I love that all the brothers are slightly different but that each journey was still captivating and never felt repetitive.
I burst out laughing multiple times at Chris’s one liners.
I’m sad that the Miles high series is coming to an end as we have somehow ran out of brothers to read about. However I was delighted to see at the end of this book that there will be a new book with extended epilogues coming sometime in the future.

I have mixed feelings about this book. I had hoped, based on their interactions in the previous books, that Christopher would be more like Tristan and therefore so would his book. (It's no secret that The Takeover is one of my favorite books ever) This just fell flat for me though. It wasn't a long book, but it dragged in parts and felt longer than it was. At 87% I was staring at the screen thinking "how in the world is this going to resolve itself" and the ending seemed super rushed and honestly a little frustrating given how everything had blown up previously. I also found the timeline a little hard to follow. All that being said, it was so freaking fun to see the Miles brothers and their women again. And Harry and Patrick!! The scene on the yacht with those surprise characters was *chefs kiss* I was laughing so hard. Well done. Please, please, please I need an extended epilogue with all of them one more time.

The Do-Over - T.L. Swan
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.75

“We are not calling our farm Bumfuck, Nowhere, Christopher.” “Why not?” He kisses me again. “Hopefully there’s going to be a lot of bumfucking going on here.”

Christopher 👏🏻 Chris 👏🏻 To 👏🏻 Pher!!!!!

This book was gold pure TL gold!!!

The banter and chemistry between Christopher and Hayden was perfection! Their story was sweet and frustrating and superb!

Christopher is hands down my favorite Miles brother. He was just adorable and sexy and REAL.

My only disappointment was he didn’t get an epilogue and I needed more of an ending!! The GOOD news is we are getting a BOOK of epilogues for all boys!!!

“His eyes search mine, and I smile softly. My tiger is tamed.”

TL does it again with the 4th book in the Miles High Series. The Do Over is Christopher’s book; Christopher realizes that his life is very shallow and that he doesn’t truly know who he is. So he decided to take a year off and go “backpacking”. During his stay in a hostel he meets “simple country girl” Hayden and is forever changed.

The Do Over was absolutely a 5 star read for me! The banter and humor that sets TL’s writing apart was sooo good in this one. I didn’t think I could laugh harder than I did in The Takeover, but I may have just laughed out loud more so in The Do Over.
I just love the Miles men! I love the journey that TL takes us on with them and how they evolve and learn so much from the women they love. Christopher was no exception to this and among all the brothers I think had the biggest growth and development.

Hayden was a strong woman who knew herself well and stood up for that. However, she too can’t resist a Miles 😉

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
🌶🌶/5

*Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review*.
Warning - This review contains spoilers for the whole book.

The Do-Over was one of my most anticipated romances of the year but unfortunately it was a huge disappointment. It follows the final Miles brother Christopher and his love interest Hayden. Christopher decides to go backpacking after living an extremely privileged life. In Spain he meets Hayden who is also backpacking. They get on well and embark on a relationship.

I enjoyed seeing the Miles brothers and enjoyed their banter. It was great to see Jameson and Tristan and how their lives were progressing. But this was the only part of the book I enjoyed.

Christopher was way too entitled for my liking and he never changes. He loves having money which is fine but thinks he is better than everyone else. I read books for escapism not to read about a hero that doesn’t care about anyone else. He tells Hayden that his job is more important than hers without considering that the only reason he has the job is because his family owns the company. Nepotism is not cute. "I will not be judged for having money... my parents have worked fucking hard to build the Miles empire What... does she think she's above it?

There was so much shaming of other women and I just can’t stand to read that in 2022. For example a woman has a lot of body hair and is shamed by Christopher for it and it was not funny. He compares her to a gorilla. "It's gorillas in the mist down there." A woman flirts with Christopher and says she is a model so Hayden says "Only Fans, I bet". Even if she was an Only Fans model what does it matter. Fuck-bunny hobag is used. Every woman wants to fuck Christopher and I am so over that in 2022. Women like Bernadette was an unhinged sex obsessed woman as she says referring to Christopher "When I find a snack in my bedroom, what do you expect."

The jokes weren’t funny. They were so juvenile and it was like being back in school. Christopher shames a guy for not wearing deodorant. Wow, so funny. Jokes like this . . . "Bangkok? Banging my cock sounds like a job I would actually want." The hero also ends up projectile vomiting which is so romantic.

Christopher and Hayden start sleeping on the same bed randomly and then the heroine is grateful that he hasn’t slept with anyone in two months. Talk about the bare minimum. Then he lies about who he is for a huge part of the book which of course causes the typical conflict.

Christopher and Hayden are together and they go and meet Hayden’s family. Hayden’s family live on a farm and are clearly not as good as the Miles’ because the author made clear attempts to diminish them. For example, Hayden’s mother will only serve offal which everyone at the table has to eat. "Offal? I frown. You know, like brains and kidneys and stuff."

Then they break up because Christopher can’t do long distance relationships because he needs sex which to me proves he doesn’t really love Hayden. They are not a good match together and clearly wanted different things in life.

Overall this was so disappointing. I was so excited for it and thought I would love it. Everything in this book has been done before by this author. It felt very similar to Elliot’s book in terms of character dynamics. I truly feel I don’t know anything about Christopher. He is so bland and faceless to me. The only thing I do know is that he loves money and sex with multiple women. I didn’t have a good time reading this and for that reason I have to give it a 1 star review. Also there is going to be an extended epilogue book of the Miles brothers and that feels like a cash grab to me.

Like most of TL Swan books, I devoured this one. Christopher and Hayden story is unconventional and interesting, a rich playboy faces reality scenario. I have enjoyed the series, and The Takeover is by far my favorite of the Miles brothers. Though The Do-Over is very different it was not comparable in my mind. Some aspects of the story seemed rushed just to complete the series, for example the reason for Christopher's attachment problems was not very realistic. Inserting Hayden's old love interest was sporadic and confusing. I will still be a fan of the authors work and am excited to read the extended epilogues about the other brothers.

It is fully possible that there will never be a hotter literary group of brothers than the Miles brothers by T L Swan.

When I heard that Christopher Miles was getting his own book, I simply knew that I had to get my hands on it as quickly as possible. After being told time and time again that he is out of touch with reality, playboy Christopher decides to spend a year backpacking- without disclosing his identity to anyone he meets.

I loved the premise of this book, Christopher is of course sexy as sin, and it really did a great job of showcasing chosen family. However, because it encompassed the course of more than a year and locations around the world, I often felt that the pacing of the book was a little disjointed. At times, while still extremely spicy, the sex almost felt like it was put into the book just to give the reader what they expected of a Miles Brother story, but between the sheets, the main characters had little chemistry.

I wanted to love The Do-Over after devouring the rest of the Miles High series, but sadly, Christopher's story left me feeling a little more than "meh."

I never, ever thought anyone would surpass Tristan but Christopher has done it! I loved everything about this book. Of course there were tears but true to T.L. Swan's style, the Miles brothers make you laugh out loud. Christopher's growth and realizations from the beginning of the book until the end played out nicely.

While reading the series in order isn't necessarily a must, it makes the collective stories that much better. I'm so sad we've run out of Miles brothers. Truly one of my favorite series of all time.
