DOING IT OVER
Most Likely To Series, Book One
Montlake Romance, Contemporary
April 19, 2016, First Edition
Paperback & 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

My Review:
Sigh. The FEELS in this book! Definitely swoon worthy. This book is the start of a new series and it definitely didn't disappoint! FANTASTIC read! I was sucked into Melanie and Wyatt's story from the first page and I didn't want it to end.
I loved the fact that the three friends remained in contact after high school and were there for each other. Life definitely took them in different directions but they didn't let life walk all over them. I enjoyed the closeness of these friends who were like family to each other. They supported and loved each other. Melanie is trying to get back on her feet and came back to her roots with her daughter in tow. A man was the last thing she expected. Wyatt was the track coach and local builder/handyman. He was enjoying life in a small town and making a name for himself. Then he found Melanie and Hope and was pulled toward them.
I thoroughly enjoyed the slow build between Wyatt and Melanie. The anticipation!! I'm telling you, Catherine writes a delicious buildup. And when it finally happens, it's totally perfect for them. And the drama in this story!! Hang on, it's going to be a bumpy ride. There are various things to make it so but I don't want to give anything away. I adored getting to know these friends and watching 2 of them fall for each other. It was a sweet story, nail biting and all around great, captivating read. I hope we get Jo and Zoe's stories next ! Another great book from Catherine Bybee. Highly recommend it!
