I was so excited to get my hands on a copy of this early from Netgalley! I just love the Miles brothers, and Christopher was no exception.

That being said, he definitely needed to learn some things about life and had some growing up to do. And like his brothers he had his flaws, made mistakes— some that had me shaking my head and yelling at my Kindle— but he had a lot of growth and I loved to see it.

I also absolutely loved the moments with Christopher's brothers and family. It was nice to catch up with little glimpses into their lives now. And I just CANNOT WAIT until February for all their extended epilogues, in Miles Ever After ❤️

Hayden was so likable and very easy to relate to. I loved how she stayed true to herself no matter how hard it was.

Together Christopher and Hayden had me laughing and smiling constantly. I loved their friendship and I loved as it became more. Their chemistry was undeniable. Their jokes and banter made them feel so real. And their struggles had my heart breaking.

And y'all. That ending. All. The. Feels. 🥹😭

The Miles brothers

Christopher, is 31 and the youngest Miles brother. He works in their London media offices and at the beginning of the story his brothers give him grief over his lack of a real relationship, being spoiled and entitled…he of course disagrees, but then while on a date later than night the woman he’s with says something similar to him. It gets Christopher thinking and he decides to take a year sabbatical from Miles Media and go backpacking, living in hostels, and finding jobs along the way for money. His brothers laugh it off thinking he’s joking, which just pushes Christopher even more into going. So he sets out to leave behind his penthouse, fancy limo drivers, extravagant lifestyle, his “regulars” and random hookups, and heads to Spain!

Across the ocean, Hayden is leaving behind the farm life where she works in animal husbandry, and heads to Spain. Christopher and Hayden become roommates, with multiple other people, in a hostel in Spain. They quickly hit it off and along with their hodge-podge group of new traveling friends decide they’ll do 12 countries in 12 months all together. New jobs, new friends, new adventures, and friendship boundaries are crossed along the way!

The Miles series has been kind of all over the place for me: I did like book 1, I really loved book 2, and then really disliked book 3. And while I’d hoped to love this one, I sadly didn’t. Things I didn’t like: so many cringe moments, the way Christopher talks/thinks about others is just icky the first half, the book/story felt all over the place, all the women hitting on Christopher all the time, the humor…it just came off cringe, crass, and juvenile to me. Seeing this billionaire kind of have to “rough it” and deal with daily chores/life was probably supposed to be comical but just made me eye-roll at his obliviousness to money and “normal” things. I do think the story dragged on for too long and I wish he would have told her sooner who he really was, instead of lying about his job for so long.

I did like that the romance is slow burn and they become friends first. I do think Christopher’s character became better over time, because of his journey and time with Hayden. I did enjoy his relationship with Eduardo, a boy he meets along the way who was honestly a highlight of the book.

Thank you to the publisher (Montlake) for an e-ARC via NetGalley. All thoughts in this review are my own. The Do-Over has a publish date of August 30, 2022.

The way this blends perfectly with the first three books. I can’t believe this is the end of the Miles brothers. I adored all of their stories and will revisit them often. This one felt different then the other books, but it was still so enjoyable. I was a little thrown off by Christopher’s journey, but I understand why he’s doing what he’s doing. Overall, expect the same humor and steam that’s expected from TL and those flirty little Miles boys.

Sometimes, if you're not careful friendship can blind you to what is staring you right in the face...

Once again T.L. Swan has outdone herself. Wow!! she really did it this time. Christopher Miles is entitled, full of himself. He can have anything or anyone he wants. Christopher also realizes that his life seems meaningless, empty and lonely. He has an epiphany of sorts and decides he needs a reboot. He makes a decision to take a year off and trek around the world through new eyes. He discards his old self and hopes to discover a better person within himself.

He meets Hayden on his journey and is immediately drawn to her. He usually has no problem winning over a woman with just a sexy smile, but Hayden does not go for the bait. They become close friends, but Hayden wants more. Seeing Christopher's transformation made my heart go pitter-patter. Their story had me laughing, doing a massive amount of crying, but also filling me with hope for the two of them to get their acts together and see what was staring them in the face.

The cherry on the sundae was seeing all the brothers together again. I loved this story hard.

The Do-Over is book 4 in The Miles High Club. Featuring the youngest Miles brother, Christopher.

Christopher is now second in line for the brothers for me. No one will top Tristan’s story, but Christopher’s is close. Tired of being the partying playboy, Christopher decides to take one year and travel Europe backpacking.

Hayden, still reeling from her first break-up, two!, years ago, decided to backpack through Europe for a year and come back refreshed and ready for her next steps. It’s going to be a big change from a farm in upstate NY.

The two meet in a hostel in Spain and are instantly smitten. Their journey has some ups and downs and the city boy and farm girl storyline is one we all know.

I figured the story and end would be similar to Elliott’s book, but this one felt more raw and real. You could feel the love in the page, but also the heartache of is love enough?

My *only* wish would be for Eddie to get a POV in the epilogue. He had a short 1 page in the book, but I knew there was more to his story in this book. I think a couple pages in the epilogue would be perfect.

💥Heavy Profanity💥

🎒The last installment of the Miles High Club series has me completely bamboozled! Or in the words of Christopher Miles, “margarooted!” (More on this later. 😜)

Short Synopsis:

Christopher Miles, the youngest of the Miles billionaire brothers, is known for his carefree womanizing ways. Although he’s always relished in this lifestyle,it’s become apparent that he’s frustrated by accusations that he’s the spoiled little brother. In order to clear his name of this stereotype, he sets off to backpack through Europe with little money to his name and an alias.

Hayden has always lived the simple life. Craving adventure, she sets off to Spain in search of long nights in hostels and new friends from across the world.

Christopher and Hayden are complete opposites and constantly challenge one another. Developing a comfortable friendship, they begin to make memories together. Their chemistry becomes more undeniable each day that passes. Perhaps there’s a possibility that this friendship may have potential for something more.

🎒Ok…let me just get out of the way that the hostel life is something new to me. Lacking cleanliness and very little privacy does not sound appealing…BUT it makes for many laughs! Seriously, this book had me laughing out loud in public. (Random confused stares from people around me were common during this read.😅)

🎒Although Elliot still owns my heart, (sigh for grumpy secret romantic 😍) Christopher and Hayden’s story was a breath of fresh air from the previous series books’ office setting.

🎒Really and truly, if steamy, laugh out loud, romances are for you, pick up this series. You wont regret it!

*Side note: Margaritas was the beverage of choice throughout this book. (Hence the the margarooted statement above!)

𝔸ℝℂ ℝ𝔼𝕍𝕀𝔼𝕎 - The Do-Over by T L Swan

Feeling empty and searching for a deeper meaning in life, spoiled rich boy Christopher Miles decides to take a year away from his CEO lifestyle to travel around the world.
No money, No contacts, No plans. Not a bad idea according to Christopher - that is until he arrives and sees where he is staying. Surrounded by body odour and chaos, the youngest Miles brother heads out to conquer the local ladies… only to have his money stolen. He’s living in his version of Hell and in walks his new roommate… Hayden Whitmore.
Hayden is Christopher’s total opposite and completely unaffected by his charm, as roommates they slowly create a friendship that neither of them expected. The problem? Christopher doesn’t want a friendship anymore.

♥️ Opposites attract
♥️ Secret Identity
♥️ Friends to Lovers

This sexy finale of the Miles High Club did not disappoint. Christopher starts off immature, you can tell he’s the youngest brother. BUT he grew on me and ended up being funny and charismatic although he will forever be a bit of a prat. Hayden, however, was super likeable to me. Down to earth farm girl with a heart of gold, she definitely gave this big city CEO a run for his money. There were hilarious moments and parts that made me sob but it was a typical T L Swan book and I loved it. Bring on the extended epilogues 😍

⭐️ 4/5

You know how when you are getting to the end of a book and you don’t want it to end but then you want to know how it ends. This book had me stalling to finish it because I didn’t want it to be over.

I had this feeling Christopher’s story might break my heart but little did I know how well it would be put back together by Hayden. And there is this side character (this one’s human, unlike Elliotts’d ducks) that will also steal your heart.

This story though was the most epic way to end a series. I know we are getting bonus scenes in 2023 but Christopher and Hayden’s story was like saving the best for last. The author did that and anyone who says differently is lying…lol. This book was like the culmination of every brother and of course it happened to be the youngest one. And Hayden, I couldn’t love a heroine more then I love her and in a little way I see a little of myself in her (that’s probably why she burrowed into my heart).

This series will be one I always recommend. And yes I know they are considered standalone but you won’t get the full effect of the whole story, all 4 books if you don’t read them in order.

This book was just another reason why TL Swan will always be a one-click author for me.

I literally just read this entire series back to back in order to get to this one and simply, my life will never be the same. Holy 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

I really, really loved this book! The chemistry was excellent and the pacing was perfect. Yet another slam dunk by TL Swan!

In this sexy installment of the Miles High Club series from bestselling author T L Swan, a billionaire playboy goes incognito on a backpacking trip in Europe. But how long can he hide from love?

I’m wealthy, powerful, and able to get any woman I want.

So why do I feel so empty inside?

In search of a deeper me, I take a sabbatical from my privileged life. One year of backpacking around Europe: a new identity, no contacts, and no money. Not a bad plan, I think.

Until I get there.

A crowded hostel room, body odor, and beer bongs—there are no words for the fresh hell I’ve landed in.

But amid the chaos, I meet my new roommate, Hayden Whitmore. She sleeps in the bed opposite me, and I openly admit to staring at her more than I sleep. Beautiful, innocent, and smart. Not my usual type but perhaps the perfect woman.

There’s just one small problem with the divine Miss Hayden. She’s totally unaffected by my charm. Nothing is working, and now, I’ve been friend zoned.

What?

But the good thing about me is that I’m an incredible problem solver, and I’ve come up with a diabolical plan. I’m going to slide right in under her friend zone. Be the best damn friend she ever had, hold her hand, make her laugh, and spoon with her in bed.

But now there’s another problem.

Hayden is the one who is sliding under my skin, and maybe friendship isn’t enough.

This is the fourth book in the Miles High Club series. I HATED Christopher at the start, but he really redeemed himself throughout this book. Well written with plenty of steam and chemistry.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.

I really enjoyed the last book in the Miles High Club series. I really enjoy TL Swan's writing and story telling. The characters she writes and the situations they are put in are so unique and entertaining. By doing this she enhances the romance in the story and makes the experience for the reader so much better than expected.

Christopher Miles is out with his brothers when they make a slight comment hinting that he is spoiled. This doesn't sit well with him and to prove them wrong he decides to backpack through Europe. He finds a hostel in Europe and travels there. We see him get ready for the trip and it's really funny. I didn't think he would stick through with his plan but he meets Hayden, a farmer girl from NY. Hayden is down to Earth and hasn't had the best track record with men because her ex was her HS sweetheart who cheated on her.

Christopher and Hayden don't start off on the right foot but their relationship slowly develops. For the first half of the book we watch as their friendship grows. They become each other's best friends and it's beautiful. We see how Hayden has to resist Christopher because she doesn't want to ruin their friendship by sleeping together but we also see how Christopher develops feelings for her. The entire time they are traveling together Christopher doesn't tell Hayden he is actually part of the Miles Media family and is actually rich.

Once she is told, she is too caught up in the news to say much. He convinces her to give him a chance and move to London. We watch as the two struggle to adapt to life outside of backpacking.

Overall, I loved how the relationship developed and the angst we felt for a large part of the book. I also loved Christopher's growth throughout the book and the way he had to work on not quitting on things just because he thought he'd fail. This was a steamy read and was the perfect end to the series.

I have been waiting for Christopher’s story and this didn’t disappoint. He was bratty and spoiled which I wasn’t ready for but watching him throughout this story made my heart so full. TL Swan cannot do anything wrong. If you love TLs books and the Miles High club the. You need this book!

This book deserves all the stars in the world! I absolutely loved this book with my whole heart and will forever have Christopher as my favourite Miles brother!

I love that even though Christopher was basically told he has no substance that didn’t stop him from proving everyone wrong! He decided that he was going to do something even if it was a bit extreme and way out of his comfort zone!

I love how much he changed in regards to relationships and just being relaxed! The relationship he not only developed with Hayden but with Eddie as well made my heart skip a beat! Christopher doing his do over and backpacking for a year changed him for the better and it was honestly inspiring!

I loved the yacht scene - it literally had me in stitches!

He was fiercely loyal to his family and his job and even though he loved Hayden immensely there was that doubt in his head about them working but of course everything worked out in the end and they ended up at bumfuck nowhere!

Much like all of her books, this was incredible. It’s spicy but still has a great plot. Detailed, thought out storyline with believeable characters. I love the brothers but I think that he’s my new favorite!!

Of course she did nothing less than exceed every expectation I had of this book! Just like the others, I could not put this down! This song reminds me of Taylor Swifts Afterglow. Of course she perfectly ties in all the characters and their stories from the other books of the series. You fall in love with Christo, Grumps, and Eddie. I will absolutely re read this book. Well worth the read!

Christopher is spoiled. He decides to see what life is like without money and backpack around Europe.
Hayden is trying to get away from her heartbreak and open herself up to what else is out there, even if she is being pushed to.

Their relationship doesn’t start off with a bang but slowly it develops into more. But one of them is keeping a secret that may change everything.

I really enjoyed the banter between all the brothers, I lived for it!

No one will top Tristan for me, ever. The Do Over started to pick up around 50% and I found myself not wanting to put it down.

-Opposites Attract
-Friends to Lovers
-Secret Identity

Mission failed!

"The Do-Over" is the fourth and last book from the Miles-High series by T.L Swan. However, this book can be read as a standalone.

For me, there are only two extremes with the author's books - I either hate them or love them. Unfortunately, she could not inspire me with "The Do-Over".

Unfortunately, this was not only due to the unsuccessful realisation of the plot, but mainly due to the horrible and obnoxious protagonist Christopher.

Christopher is absolutely spoiled and whinythere is no character development at all. He is not a character I particularly like, because he is far too over the top and spoiled form e. Nevertheless, he has a good heart. That's why I find it a pity that there was no character development in him.

I actually liked Hayden at the beginning of the story. She made a down-to-earth and intelligent impression on me. In the course of the story, my sympathy for her diminished a bit, because I just found her naive.

Sadly, the backpacking theme was ticked off extremely quickly and uncharitably. Suddenly, the countries visited were only summarised on one page, which I found more than stupid and was not the aim of the story.

Unfortunately, I also didn't like the way the story progressed.

Unfortunately, "The Do-Over" only gets 1 out of 5 stars from me.

Thanks to NetGalley US and T.L Swan for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I am having such a book hangover, I thought Tristan was my favorite Miles brother, but Christoper may have just stolen the top spot.

Christopher was such a complex character, at first I didn’t think I was going to like him, he seemed to spoiled and snotty for my liking, but of course he proved me wrong. He comes to a crossroads in life after being teased he is spoiled and doesn’t know how to do thing by himself, so he sets off on a sabbatical for a year to find himself. I loved it when he first walked into the hostel, I laughed so hard, does he really know what he’s getting into?

I absolutely loved Hayden, she was so down to earth, I could see myself being friends with her. Setting off on a year to find herself, the last thing she expected was Christopher. She was able to strip him of his pretentiousness’ and had him exploring his life and it’s decisions.

As always I love catching up with all the Miles brothers and their families. Keep an eye out at the end for a special announcement!

4.5⭐️ 2.5🌶


TL Swan. The woman is a genius. This has been my most anticipated book of the year and it didn’t disappoint. I know not everyone gels with her writing style but I do. So yeah I can overlook imperfections in the plot lines. Her endings are epic. They never fail to tear me apart in just the right way, before getting to the HEA. Ok off my soapbox.

I love how this book starts out with Christopher and his brothers. Their banter and bond is something spectacular. A little cheesy and over the top but 🤩 nonetheless. Getting this glimpse of all of them makes me want to immediately go back and re-read the series.

As the book blurb indicates, Christopher, or Christo😉, is taking time to away to discover who he really is. His journey will give you all the feels. 🥰🥺🥵😂. I won’t say too much other than I dare you to come away and not fall in love with Eddie. 💕

We really didn’t get to know a lot about Christopher from the previous Miles brothers books other than he was the baby, playboy brother who had no intentions of settling down, especially with one woman 😏 But let’s talk about how wonderful he is. He has bits and pieces of his brothers in him but boy does he have the biggest heart. The way he’s a simp for Hayden is so endearing and this is coming from someone who LOVED The Stopover and Jameson’s alpha character.

Yes the spice is lacking in this book, but I didn’t mind because I really did enjoy the story that much.

I’ll just say the 3rd act break is so heartbreaking yet so authentic. 😭 There’s a lot of stubbornness but also maturity in what unfolded. But the ending couldn’t haven’t been more perfect.

I CANNOT wait for Valentine’s Day when we get to read the extended epilogues for all the brothers. I will never not think about this series. 💯
