I listened to the audiobook and the narrator did a great job. I couldn't wait to start this story after how Perky ended. I enjoyed both H/h and their story which was a mix of serious issues and some lighter fun scenes. I also enjoyed the secondary characters.

I really enjoyed Chris and Fiona's story. They had an awesome enemies to lovers vibe throughout the first 2 books and I was happy to finally get their story. They have a bit of emotional baggage to get through thanks to Fiona's long held grudge, but I thought the plot of the book really worked to help see these two in a new light. Chris had much more depth than I previously thought and he had me swooning a time (or ten) with his sweet words and good heart. There are plenty of laughs just like in the previous books and it's always fun to catch up with the previous couples. Mallory and Will had an especially fun scene involving a bear ;) The story seemed to stall a bit once the truth was out in the open, but I liked being able to see the new relationship blossom and also all the shenanigans this group gets into. It's not necessary to read the previous books to enjoy this one, but it will definitely add to all the fun. Erin Mallon has been amazing in every book and her comedic timing continues to shine. She really is the perfect narrator for this series.
I haven't been a fan of Mallory's sister, Hastings, but I'm intrigued to find out what her story is next. Feisty starts off with a serious incident, but the rest is just romcom (sometimes ranchy) fun!

I love the chemistry between Fletch and Feisty...they are so much fun. Feisty is a buff babe, the beginning of the book had my heart hurting, but she is able to get through it and everyone is ok. I think I would have PTSD after that. How awesome is it that Fletch shows up as one of her paramedics, and they feel the spark, even though it's been years since they really talked. I love this little series by Julia Kent and they keep you giggling. Definitely read this one as well. The books don't have to be read in order, they can be read as stand alone.

I've been somewhat slowly making my way through this series and I have to say, although Fluffy is the funniest so far, Feisty is probably my favourite. The hate to love between Fiona and Chris was the slowest burn of the three, but I loved the push and pull the most in this one. This can be read as a standalone, but I honestly would recommend you read all the books in this series, even the little prequel novella. Not just because it enriches the story, but they're pretty darn great.

So I've read both books before Feisty and it was very funny. But this, compared to the others, is more serious in my opinion. And I think its because Feisty is different than Perky and Mallory. She's more complex, more complicated. She's trying to find herself, whether to choose between her old self or her new self, or just to combine both.
Come Fletch, the person who made her want to forget her old self and where the name Feisty come from. It did take a long time for the two to give together a chance though. I think that was a bit unnecessary, with Feisty's indecisiveness and she should have been more feisty I guess.
Overall, it was a fine read for me! Julia Kent write an enjoyable rom-coms.

I throughly enjoyed this 3rd book in the Do-Over series by Julia Kent. Erin Mallon is so expressive and easy to listen to. I enjoyed her narration of this novel. Even with me going to 2.0 speed Erin was easy to understand.
Feisty aka Fiona is a bridesmaid in her best Mallory's wedding. The groomsman she is paired with is Chris "Fletch" Fletcher. She is a preschool teacher and has to protect the kids from an angry noncustodial parent. From that day on, her live is topsy turvy, but in both good and bad ways.

I loved this book! I was so emotionally invested. Fiona might say our energies aligned. I was on the edge of my seat one moment and laughing hysterically the next. A must read!

I received this audiobook from Audiobook Obsession in exchange for an honest review.
I. LOVE. THIS. BOOK!
This was the first book I've picked up of Julia Kent's and it's safe to say it won't be my last! The balance of (for lack of a better word) feisty and humor is wonderful and I was in stitches the whole time! I love the fact that Fiona a.k.a. Feisty is so in-tune with her spiritual self and doesn't apologize for who she is.
I think what really put the cherry on top was the narration! Erin Mallon is exceptional and her voices for different people are ON. POINT. and I never got confused as to who was talking. Her little kid voices were ADORABLE and hilarious at the same time. I would have enjoyed reading this book, but I really don't think it would have had the same lasting effect that hearing it has.
Overall, this is a book full of humor, sass, frenemies, and finding balance within yourself to become the best and happiest you can be. I felt closer to my inner self after listening to this book!
One side note and something I wanted more of - I really wanted to learn more about Fiona's kick-boxing background. Something like where and why she learned - was it just something she wanted to do when she was younger like some girls want to do gymnastics?

Chris "Fletch" and Feisty have known one another since grade school...and have hated one another ever since.
Or have they?
After a couple of chance meetings, and a situation that no one expected them to need to deal with, they start to see one another in a new light.
There was a lot about this that I enjoyed, and I definitely believed their chemistry. There was just something off about the title. I really didn't like the supporting characters, I thought they detracted from the story and there were actually couple of scenes that pulled me out of it badly enough that I ended up skimming a couple of sections.
While I did enjoy parts of this title, I am not able to recommend it.
