The Do-Over

I absolutely did not want this series to end. It was one of the first series that got me back into reading again and I will forever cherish it because of that. I'm ready for the epilogue that will be coming out! As always with these books, I love the dynamic between the brothers. The convos and the banter always make me laugh. Christopher was such a softie but would totally deny it if he was asked. Hayden is such a confident precious soul and I liked that she made Christopher work for things and didn't just immediately give in. I feel like this book was a great ending to a wonderful series!

In general I loved the way author wrote book series and how she made every book's main character different from the other (Miles brothers). BUT this one was my least favorite and enjoyable. It was good, but it kinda felt it was written in a rush. Meanwhile I love how the story turned out and had a wonderful, well described ending (compared to the prev three books where ending was shorter).

 Once again this was so so funny! I loved the premise here and Christopher was hilarious! Absolutely one of my favorite Miles brothers! I loved the friends to lovers trope here, which can be hard for me since I love tension and banter but since we get to see them meet and form a friendship then turn it into a relationship it still had great banter! Hayden was so sweet and I think she was my favorite FMC from all of this series! I love that she took no crap and was unapologetically herself! I was truly rooting for them every step of the way of their journey! 

I loved seeing a new twist to a billionaire romance here with Christopher going away and being “poor” it was nice to see as a change of pace. He learned to appreciate things a bit better and it helped his character grow and blossom! I enjoyed Hayden being true to herself and what she wanted even if it meant not being with Christopher anymore. Her happiness was her main priority and she didn’t change herself for her man. Eduardo was my favorite, his character broke my heart and I fell in love with him! I’m so glad he was able to get the happily ever after that he truly deserved! I loved the ending of this so much I was cracking right up… the “wolves” puppies, kittens etc such a great read and last installment of this series! 

I think it’s really hard to beat The Stopover. This book was a good light read, but I had a hard time with the fact that there’s so many books in this series, however the couples from before only come up once and it all feels very cold and forced. For a series of this size, I was just expecting more of the previous book’s characters to come up more.

Loved the traveling and smut. Just wished it had a little more heart.
