I love the Miles High series. I haven’t read a book with a backpacking plot like this and I really liked it. I love how each brother has a completely different story to finding love. Great story.
Oh, how I missed the Mile men. I've waited to pick up Christophers's book, I was scared he would knock off my man Tristan as the number one
Oh boy. It took everything in me not to DNF this book. By far the worst in the series. Christopher was insufferable for the majority of the book and I could not root for him and Hayden at all. Eddie was a sweet character and his relationship with Christo and Hayden carried this book and is the only thing that made this even slightly enjoyable. Such a disappointing ending to the series. Still can’t believe I actually read all of this. I hate myself.

I’m sorry but Christopher annoyed the shit out of me. I feel like he didn’t have any character growth until the second to last chapter. The whole book it was his way or the highway and he just expected Hayden to go along with it no questions asked. Definitely my least favorite of the series I think.

both characters were literally so unbearably annoying i couldn’t stand it. the only aspect of the story i liked was the traveling!
It has been a nice good read, after I resisted the tempatation to DNF it!
The Do-Over is the story of Christopher and Hayden.
It is the fourth book in the Miles brothers instalment, I haven't read the other ones, so I "met" the other Miles brothers already in their relationships, and they have piqued my interest (even more than Christopher).
Christopher is presented as the younger wild brother, partying all the time, half committed professionally, wild and restless. He is teased once too much by his brothers for his unreliable, spoiled and entitled approach to life and he sets to prove them (and himself) wrong, by backpacking with just a little cash for one year, incognito.
He meets Hayden at a hostel in Barcelona, and pretends to be a modest teacher taking one year off to travel, and paying his stay with any job he can find.
Hayden is a country girl, also taking a one year break to explore the world and recover from a two-year-old heartbreak. She is charmed by Christopher (who isn't?), but friend-zones him, as she does not want to ruin the friendship they are building, knowing she wouldn't be capable of enjoying more, with the same carelessness as Christopher. She would end up falling in love and being crushed.
So the story starts, with a lot of chemistry, many boundaries, and various characters developments and revelations mostly across Europe and the USA.
It has been a nice smooth book to read, quite steamy, but it had me perplexed more than once.
Christopher has been a bit too alpha for my liking and, especially at the beginning, quite extreme with his anger management. For example, you do not take a child by the neck. Never. His caveman extremes really tempted me into quitting, but I am glad I made it past the first half, as the second part was better paced and balanced for me.
Hayden's attitude towards him was ambiguous for me: sometimes she played the independent woman card, while other times she was so happy at his protective / jealous tantrums with the "that's my man" approach, that didn't seem to fit.
I also did not like how Christopher seemed to have made all the decisions, presenting them like a gift or a last minute revelation, as if Hayden were just a girl to be pleased by his own intepretation of how to make her happy. I really did not like the communication issues between Cristopher and Hayden and they did not seem to have been fixed by the end of the book: I did not feel a real shared compromise, but just Christopher making all the decisions and playing the unrequested hero.
I enjoyed T.L. Swan writing style and was impressed by her steamy sequences and the Miles brothers ensemble. Some dynamics just did not flow for me.
I will probably give it a small break and try one of the other brothers.
