Toe-curling? Check. Sheet-twisting? Check. But is that enough for a second chance?
Jack: I’m pretty much as tough as they come. But when a woman comes to me in tears, I’m jelly. Scratch that—when Maddie Adams comes to me in tears, I’m jelly. That’s how we ended up making our incredible son five years ago, and that’s why I practically beg her to move in with me when she’s in a tight spot. Of course, the last time I got the chance to be the hero, I let her down, but I’m not making the same mistake twice. This time, I’m going to be the man she deserves—and then I’m going to lay every ounce of sexy on her until she lets me back into her heart.
Maddie: Jack Parker is hot, and he knows it. What he’s not is a family man, something this single mom had to learn the hard way. Still, moving into his place until I get back on my feet makes all kinds of sense. He’s an old friend. He’s, ahem, the father of my child. And let’s face it, now that I’ve just been colossally dumped, we’ve got nowhere else to go. The truth is, I never could resist Jack. Living under the same roof puts dirty thoughts in my head. And when my brilliant plan backfires, my whole body is begging for a do-over. . . .
Do Over is a standalone novel with no cheating, no cliffhangers, and a satisfying happily ever after.

I love a good second chance romance. That has to be one of my favorite type of books. I quickly requested Do Over, because of that. For me, this book was just ok. I will explain why. It was a little too cookie cutter for me. Boy and Girl used to "date", then she gets pregnant with his kid. He isn't thrilled, and he becomes a part time dad. That is until Maddie really needs his help. Now Jack goes from part time dad to live in dad and potential boyfriend all because Maddie found her ex cheating on her with her best friend. Weeehew.... that was a lot of drama in one paragraph.
Do Over was pretty much ok. There was no shocking twist and turns. It was a second chance for 2 people, who if communicated better from the start, would have never needed the second chance.
