The Do-Over

I love this series… seriously love it! All these Miles brothers have the spark. Christopher is the cocky, youngest brother who will never settle down. Who would have guessed this seemingly self assured playboy was hiding some insecurities so well that he wasn’t even aware of them, until his brothers jesting hit too hard?

When Christopher decides to go outside his normal zone, shrug off his identity and do something crazy, the fun begins. He meets Hayden and spends the next year falling in love all across Europe. When Hayden finds out her sweet janitor is actually a billionaire let’s just say, it’s not all smooth sailing.

I was a bit sad thinking this was the last book in the series, but then got a surprise at the end. These stories are true standalones, but you will not get the full Miles effect, unless you read them in order. Brilliant series!

This book was prettyyyy good!!! i absolutely love Christopher, along with all the other Miles brothers. The concept of the book was amazing. I love that he decided to take a year long break from work to just go on a backpacking trip and live in a hostel where he met Hayden. I also loved Eddie. The way they adopted him in the end was such an amazing moment in the book. I definitely didn’t see that coming until the last 50 pages. The way Eddie was homeless was crazy and we didn’t find that out until the very end. I wish there was an epilogue of some sort but i guess that’s what the novella is going to be for. The fight Hayden and Christo had at the end was very realistic. He was a city boy and she was a country girl. In the end, they made it work though and he bought a house on a farm in London and they got engaged! It took me a while to finish this book, but I finally finished it while currently have COVID. I don’t remember everything that happened in this book since I started it a while ago, but I’m pretty sure the spicy scenes were good like always. This book didn’t disappoint! Also, I hate paparazzi,  the way they always try to ruin relationships and photoshop people is crazy.

KU. Barely 3 stars. My least favorite of the series

Ugh. I really wanted to like this book. And it wasn't terrible, but fucking Christopher was a huge red flag. The entire book. The growth I was hoping from him never came. poor Hayden just had to deal with all his shit.

Christopher had the worst temper. Seriously, he would freak out about the dumbest things. The number of fist fights this guy got into was unreal. I guess when you're richer than God you have lawyers to cover your ass. I also had a hard time accepting that he just got over his need to have multiple women.

Hayden was kind of a wet blanket. The only time she ever had feeling was when she found out Christopher lied to her for a whole fucking year and when she was depressed.

The author also made crazy time jumps. The fact that we just skipped over basically the entire build up of going from friends to lovers was crazy. One minute they say, for sure, just friends. Then six weeks later they're getting together, with none of the in between.

Also Christopher never apologized. Or at least never enough. The boy pulled some insane awful shit and never owned up. He lied to Hayden about his financial situation for 12 months, then when she finds out and understandably upset, he gets mad at her. Hayden is torn from EVERYTHING she has ever known or wanted, thrown into a city with no friends or family, and has a boyfriend who is literally never around. But yet she's the jerk when it's all too much and she wants to go home for awhile. Then later apologizes for NOT TRYING HARDER. Are you fucking kidding me???

Finally, Elliot (I think that's the right brother) lived in the country and commuted to work. Christopher knew this. But wasn't willing to sacrifice anything for Hayden. It took them breaking up for almost 2 months before he realized maybe he needed to give just a little bit to this relationship!?! What kind of toxic masculinity shit did I just read. It makes my blood boil just thinking about it. Worst one of the series by far.

I love how each book is about a different brother but the other brothers stories still continue in the other books. I’ve loved this whole Billionaire Brother Series and each of their character development through each book.

love this series so much… ♥️♥️ such a good trip relationship turned real relationship story!

Almost 10 years ago I went to Europe for a month and met a bunch of wonderful people (no falling in love for me though!) and had the best time of my life. I think about that trip often. This… brought back all those wonderful nostalgic and warm feelings and really hit the spot.

Christopher isn’t my favorite Miles brother… but Hayden is definitely one of my favorite Miles brother girlfriends and really I would keep reading about this family and their relationships for forever. TL Swan please never stop writing about the Miles family
