& Kindle
One small town. Three close friends. True love to last a
lifetime.
Voted Most Likely to Succeed, Melanie Bartlett ended up anything
but. The down-on-her-luck single mom wants a complete do-over—is that too much
to ask? With her family long gone from River Bend, strong, independent Mel is
as surprised as anyone to end up in the quaint small town she once called home.
But with her friends, Jo and Zoe, by her side, and a comfortable room at Miss
Gina’s quirky bed-and-breakfast, she just might have turned the corner on a new
life.
Wyatt Gibson never liked the big city. River Bend suits the
ruggedly handsome builder just fine. Wyatt knows he’s home, even if that means
being charmed by the appearance of Melanie and her spunky, adorable daughter.
Is Wyatt’s calm devotion—even amid a coming storm—enough to convince Mel she
may have found a home to call her own, a family that never leaves, and a true
love to last a lifetime?
Praise for Doing It Over
“The romance between fiercely independent Melanie and
charming Wyatt heats up even as outsiders threaten to derail their newfound
happiness. This novel will hook readers with its warm, inviting characters and
the promise for similar future installments.” –Publishers Weekly
“This
brand-new trilogy, Most Likely To, based on yearbook superlatives, kicks off
with a novel that will encourage you to root for the incredibly likable
Melanie. Her friends are hilarious and readers will swoon over Wyatt, who is
charming and strong. Even Melanie’s daughter, Hope, is a hoot! This romance is
jam-packed with animated characters, and Bybee displays her creative writing
talent wonderfully.” –RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars

My review:
I've always enjoyed books from Catherine Bybee in the past, but
have to say without a doubt that Doing It
Over is my favorite book ever from Ms. Bybee.
I loved Melanie, Jo, and Zoe from the very first page. I loved
they had been friends their entire life and remained best friends 10 years
after they graduated from high school. Mel was voted most likely to succeed in
high school, and with the exception of a wonderful daughter, not
much else has gone as she has planned since high school. I loved that Jo
and Miss Gina were the locals who immediately took Mel and Hope in once
they arrived. I have to say Miss Gina is one of my favorite
characters ever. She has always been the one person Mel, Jo, and Zoe
could always depend on, and nothing about her has changed. I really
love the Zoe and Jo both are always there when Mel needs them, even after Zoe
had left after the class reunion.
You hear about the perfect meet-cute, and I have to say while
Mel and Wyatt's wasn't the average one, it continued to give them much to laugh
about the more time they spent around each other. Wyatt had moved
to River Bend after Mel had left and is now happy to call River Bend his
home. I thought the chemistry between Mel and Wyatt was really strong
from the beginning and I really liked them as a couple. I especially liked that
Wyatt seemed to fall for Mel's daughter Hope every bit as much as he fell for
Mel.
There was a bit of suspense in Doing It Over that was different from other books I've read
from Ms. Bybee. While I figured out pretty quickly who was behind everything,
the why behind it was the real mystery. I did have issues with some of the
choices the person behind everything made, but quickly figured out this
individual really didn’t care about anyone else honestly. I enjoyed the
suspense aspect of the story, and feel like we will see more of it in future
books in the series. Doing It Over
was a great start to the Most Likely To series. I'm excited to see
where Ms. Bybee takes both Zoe and Jo in their stories.
