Thank you to the author and NetGalley for the eARC of this book in exchange for my honest review!
-
After securing the ARC and before reading, I of course sprinted to Amazon to download the first three in this series and proceeded to read all of them over the span of 2 days. I don’t know what kind of fairy dust is in these books, but they are so fun and addicting! Billionaire boyfriend is one of my favorite tropes so I was really in for a treat here.
-
In The Do-Over, the fourth book in the Miles High Club series, we finally get the behind-the-scenes in Christopher’s beautiful head, where he decides to take his “leap year” and travel abroad for a year with a limited budget to discover who he truly is. This book made me want to travel SO BADLY! Chris meets Hayden, a sweet farm-girl recovering from a broken heart, and their friendship falls quickly, with the two becoming practically inseparable from day one.
-
Hayden lost me for a bit in the middle of the story - I thought she was a little too go-with-the-flow for me - but she quickly redeemed herself and I loved watching Chris and Hayden both grow into the people they always knew they could be with each other.
-
I giggled like a schoolgirl throughout all of their banter and fun and loved loved loved it - I will say the spice in this one wasn’t the spiciest… iykyk… but it’s definitely still there. The tension was just SO much hotter.

This is the BEST book I’ve read all year, it was so worth the wait! If you liked Tristan’s story than you will Love Christopher’s, the banter in this book is laugh out loud funny. Christopher, the youngest Miles brother, decides he needs to make a change and prove to everyone around him he is capable of being on his own without money so he decides to go on a year long backpacking trip hiding his true identity, where he meets not only Hayden, a beautiful country girl, but also Eddie, a 14 year old who works in a bar and who Christopher is drawn to almost immediately. This book was a rollercoaster ride there for a minute and overall incredible. You do not have to read these books in order, nor do you have to read them all but once you meet one Miles brother, you’ll want to meet them all.

The Do-Over was the much anticipated book four of the Miles brothers series. I was so excited for Christopher’s story, but sadly it did not live up to the other brothers’ books.
Christopher wants a “do-over” on his job and decides to backpack for a year. There he meets Hayden, a country girl finally letting go of her first love.
The writing seemed rushed and juvenile. The booked spanned over a year and parts seemed to jump all over. The couple doesn’t seem to have a lot in common. Their chemistry is ehh, not like the other Miles’ brothers’ romances.
If you have read the other books, I would still read this one. There are parts that are funny and it ends in a HEA.

How is this the last book in the Miles brothers series?! The stopover was my first book by this author and lead me down the path of reading a handful of others by her. This series is by far my favorite. While Tristan is by far my favorite brother of them all. I think Christopher had the most growth. This book made me wish I had backpacked around Europe and took more chances it’s never to late to follow your heart.

This was the perfect book to say goodbye to these brothers!! Christopher was not how I imagined him to be but was soooooo much better!! He is easily my favorite brother & this book took so many turns but the ending was so fabulous!!

Ooh, it’s been a while since I’ve read such an egotistical, self centred character as Christopher Miles, and guess what? I loved him. The youngest of the Miles brothers, and quite possibly the most entitled (also could be my favourite), comes down to earth with a bang when he decides to up and leave his privileged life and go backpacking around Europe for a year, with limited funds I might add. His adventure begins when he gets scammed by a ‘lady’, wallet, cards and cash stolen. Lesson learned, but it doesn’t matter anyway, because once he meets sweet, caring, lovely Hayden Whitmore, he doesn’t desire any other woman, and that’s a new experience for him. She is everything Christopher isn’t. I just love it when a sexy billionaire is taken to his knees by the unexpected appearance of a woman who has no interest in his money or status. This book also has the added bonus that said woman doesn’t have any knowledge of said billionaire’s fortune. Lies and deceit (in his defence it’s unintentional deceit from our sexy billionaire). Christopher is so out of his depth when it comes to relationships, and Hayden is so patient and good with him. They make a wonderful couple, until reality sets in and Hayden finds out what she’s up against. Highly entertaining, with some truly endearing moments, Christopher was so over the top selfish it was funny, that said, he also had a very sensitive, kind side to him. Eddie I have to say was the real star of the show. I loved him. I’ve got to be honest and say I did shed a few tears. I was sad when the book ended. I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. This is my honest review.

The completion of the Miles High Club series is finally here. 🥹 This series is one of the first ones I read when I got back into reading, and watching it end is bittersweet [buuut we have the extended epilogue coming so that’s a plus!]. In true TL Swan fashion, she has given us two new characters to fall in love with. Hayden is from upstate New York and works on her family’s farm. Christopher is the youngest Miles brother and lives between New York and London. For different reasons they both decide to go on a backpacking trip and end up meeting at a hostel [a Miles brother in a hostel is almost as funny as Jameson Miles attempting to camp]. Christopher and Hayden hit things off from the start and become fast friends. At first, that’s all they are : best cuddly friends, but over time things get hotter and feelings get deeper. Throughout this backpacking trip, Christopher isn’t exactly honest about who he is, and when the trip comes to a close and it’s time to return to real life, their relationship is put to the test. Our small town girl, Hayden, isn’t built for the big city rich life and she struggles to acclimate. I’m leaving out some of the story because there are a few hidden nuggets in there [cute tidbits + cameos] that you’ll just have to find for yourself, but I promise you’ll love them. Overall, this story is so cute and so funny. I found myself smiling while reading it and laughing out loud many times. Admittedly, the spice was lacking for me. There were quite a few fade to black scenes and that was disappointing [hello ass play I really really wanted you]. Annnnd Christopher was a bit of a softy for me - I’m sorry - maybe I just prefer villains and anti-heroes at this point, but I just wanted a bit more edge to him. All in all, if you’re a fan of this series, you already know you’re reading this one, so enjoy!

4 Stars for this backpacking pair!

I just loved Hayden ... she's so sweet and sees the good in everyone and everything. Then there's Christopher ... his attitude was over the top and I really didn't like him at the beginning, but as the book went on, my opinion changed (slightly). I thought that in the first half of the book the characters were way too immature for their age, but they were redeemed in last half of the book. I did like that the other Miles brothers made appearances in this book and we found out a little more on their stories.

Christopher has a life crisis and decides to backpack across Europe for a year. Hayden broke up with her boyfriend two years ago and her life is at a standstill, so to shake it up she decides to go backpacking across Europe. Christopher and Hayden meet at the hostel and there is an instant connection, but Christopher is keeping a big secret that could end things before they even begin.

I received an early copy courtesy of Amazon Publishing UK through NetGalley in exchange for a honest review.

The Do Over did not go as expected but was better, way better! Christopher and Hayden are opposites in every way! Christopher comes from money, he has the world at his finger tips and he knows he’s one of the most eligible bachelors. Hayden comes from small town USA. She’s a hard worker and doesn’t take anything for granted!

When Christopher decides to backpack for a year he meets Hayden and group of amazing friends that he decides to travel with! A friendship quickly blossoms which turns to more. The only problem, Christopher doesn’t want Hayden to know who he is!!

The first part of this book is spent on getting to know both Hayden and Christopher. You get to see their relationship blossom. Then we get some time jumps through their year abroad and then the good part, life back in reality!!

I loved seeing both Christopher and Hayden grow and find their way in the world! I loved the friends they made and also their hilarious families!

Thank you to Amazon Publishing UK for gifting me an advance copy of The Do-Over by T.L. Swan, through NetGalley – it comes out on August 30, 2022!

I have been waiting for Christopher’s book, it’s easily been my most anticipated romance book of 2022 – and it did not disappoint!

Hayden was a breath of fresh air, so witty and resilient and very much relatable. There were so many times I was pleasantly shocked at how logical she was being – which I find helps me connect with characters (especially female MCs, and even more so in romance novels).

Christopher…oh Christopher, you make me smile. I did not know if I had enough space in my heart for another Miles brother. I was wrong. Christopher was so charming and hilarious, even when he was being frustratingly ignorant and clueless – which he redeemed himself in every way!

T.L. Swan’s writing is fantastic as always – grabs the reader right from the first sentence. I loved all the traveling aspects of The Do-Over and the sweet connections with the side characters. As always, the banter was perfect, and the steam was bang-on. I am so very sad there are no more Miles brothers as I love being a part of their world.

This book follows the youngest of the Miles brothers, Christopher, and Hayden who meet at the start of there year long backpacking adventure around Europe.

Despite the fact he's a billionaire Christopher decides to do backpacking the proper way (staying in hostels, working random jobs), which leads to some pretty funny scenes early on his adventures as he's way out of his depth

There were times I wanted to slap some sense into Christopher, and just get him to talk to Hayden, he (like the rest of his brothers) really is a sweetheart deep down, it may just takes the right people (and some time apart) to bring it out of him

Overall, I loved this book, the ending was super cute, the spice was spicy and the banter between the Miles brothers is top tier as always

Thanks you to NetGalley and Amazon Publishing UK for gifting me the eARC to read and review

thank you to NetGalley and Amazon Publishing for this ARC copy of The Do-Over!!

this book was a pretty okay read. it was quick and easy to read as it had shorter chapters and each chapter was broken up quite a bit which moved the story along a lot faster. for me, i didn’t love the start of this book. it felt quite rushed and like it was skimming over the start of their relationship and friendship. i felt there was no building towards their friendship it just sort of started and then the book would skip a few days or weeks and their friendship was in a different stage.
i did, however, like the development of christian though. he wasn’t my favourite character but he did go through quite a bit of self development. he spent time trying to figure himself out and sort through his struggles with forming relationships. i also really liked how he did this to try to be a better and more self aware person for hayden and their relationship.
there were quite a few parts of the book that i really enjoyed and found were really funny and entertaining throughout. such as the Mykonos scenes and the ending.
but overall the book was a pretty okay read. it wasn’t my favourite and wasn’t as great as i expected it to be.

A great finale the Miles High Club series. Although I didn't really care for Christopher at the beginning of the book, I loved him by the end. Hayden was an absolute angel. I loved getting to see glimpses of the other brothers throughout the book. The odd jobs made me laugh. Eddie's story was my absolute favorite. I will definitely be going back to reread this entire series.

I have been waiting for this book ever since I closed The Casanova and take a bow Tee because it was a perfect ending.

Christopher is the youngest of the Miles brothers and he definitely shows it, he looks up to his brothers and their relationship just makes me melt but also had me in stitches it felt so real. Christopher is the epitome of the youngest child always trying to compete with his brothers and prove that he is just as worthy as they are but there are parts of his personality which show that he just can’t fail and so he takes steps not too become a failure including not being I a relationship. After his brothers make fun of him during a board meeting he takes the drastic measures to disappear for 12 months and go back to basics.

Hayden is a simple farm girl who booked her trip to try and get over her ex and when she meets Christopher in a hostel in Spain they don’t exactly hit it off but quickly become friends and can’t bare to be apart. Their relationship was so beautiful and so organic, he was content to just cuddle her while she read - the dream!

Everything was going swimmingly for these 2 and I could just tell something was brewing and when it hits they needed their heads banging together, and Eddie that boy needs protecting at all costs he was a star in his own right and can we please have a book for him in the future please and thank you?

In true Tee fashion we get some proper laugh out loud moments ‘the yacht’ that’s all I’m saying. And I adored the little cameos from the boys from the misters series, I love them so much. Christopher has zero filter and basically says what he feels and doesn’t care about the consequences which had me howling at times. And from the first chapter Christopher’s personality shines through and let’s say Tee doesn’t guide us into it 😜

Oof what a mess. The writing was subpar at best and I didn’t find any of the characters to be likable.

Tropes: chance encounter, friends to lovers, second chance, opposites attract

Christopher Miles the baby of the Miles clan who needs a do over. He wakes up one day and realizes no one takes him seriously and his life doesn’t feel like it’s going anywhere. He decides to take a year off and backpack through Europe with a different name and no money. On his first day there (after a disastrous beginning) he meets Hayden (who also just arrived) and a little group that becomes their found family. Hayden is resistant to his charms because he is the opposite of what she thinks she wants. They quickly become best friends (hello cute cuddle scenes) as their group starts traveling together. Christopher doesn’t understand how she can resist their chemistry and she tries really hard to, until she can’t.

They all spend a year traveling without her knowing who he truly is (also insert some fun cameos here) until the last day when they fly home together and she learns just who she fell for. Once home they must learn to come together or fall apart.

This book had so much that I loved. The relationship was adorable. I loved the character growth. This book was also hilarious. Christopher was a little bit of a drama queen so watching him learn real life was the best. My only complaint was that the last quarter felt rushed to an abrupt ending. I wanted more! I wasn’t ready to say goodbye that fast. I’m SO grateful we’re getting an extended epilogue for all the brothers because I wasn’t ready to say goodbye!

I feel something being wedged up my ass.
"Ahh." I turn around to see that same kid who was kicking me before. "Fuck off, kid," I yell. I push him hard, and he goes flying back.
He stands, infuriated. Then he charges me. I push him back. "Diego," I yell.



Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5


This is the 4th and last book in The Miles High Club series by TL Swan.
I’ve already read book 1 and 2 of this series and I loved the Takeover to a whole other level, since it is said that Tristan and Christopher i had quite high expectations. And although nothing will ever top The Takeover for me, this was a pretty good one!!
I must be honest, at the beginning I couldn’t stand Christopher: he was way too arrogant and basically a sex maniac lol.
However, going into the story and learning about his perfectionism made me actually relate to him a lot (who could have said that!?) and some scenes were funny as hell!😂
I loved Hayden’s character too, especially when she standed up to Chris’ slightly spoiled behaviour. 😅

I can’t say how much I appreciated the introduction of Eddie’s story, once again the streght on this book was the bond between kids and one of the Miles brothers.

There were a few fade to black scenes that felt weird considering it’s a TL swan book but I didn’t mind them since there were explicit ones as well.

Also it was so nice seeing the other members of the family gathered together!!


Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I totally enjoyed this and it was full of the usual sarcasm and banter that I would expect with a TL Swan book. Opposites attract of course and I liked the premise of getting away anonymously backpacking which was so outside Christopher's comfort zone. Also there was the sizzling sex that was hot hot hot. Hayden was also in a situation outside her comfort zone and I think she reacted reasonably when she was blindsided by the truth of who Chris was. Absolutely entertaining read.

The Do-Over had me laughing out loud from cover to cover!
(Well, minus the part where I was nearly in tears.)

Thank you to TL Swan, NetGalley, and Amazon Publishing UK for this ARC!

Before starting this one, I honestly couldn't remember much about Christopher from the rest of the series. But when I heard this book centered around backpacking through Europe? I knew it was going to be good! The Miles brothers had already proven they don't do well when things are below their standards & I knew it would make for a fun book!

I absolutely loved the found family that Christopher & Hayden developed with their hostel roommates! Especially after Christopher had such a rough start with them. Although the entire plot point with Eddie just felt *off* for me. Even once we learned why he had to be a big part of the plot, it still felt very forced.

Overall, I really loved this book & I'm so excited for the extended epilogue, Miles Ever After!

Christopher & Hayden

Dual POV throughout with one brief extra POV from a side character. Book 4 in The Miles High Club series. Slow burn, friends to lovers.

Christopher Miles (31) is the youngest of four boys, a billionaire playboy, and the head of marketing for his family's company, Miles Media. Christopher's life lacks depth and he has never been in a monogamous relationship. When his brothers harass him about his playboy ways Christopher decides to take a year away from the family business, his wealth and privilege, to backpack as far as he can on a limited budget, working where he can to support himself.

Hayden Whitmore (25) is the only child of third generation New York farmers. Hayden planned a trip to travel the world after the devastating break up from her childhood sweetheart two years ago. Hayden has her life seemingly mapped out and just needs a break before her next chapter begins. Her mom is convinced Hayden will find the one on her travels.
