Excerpt
Ian keeps chasing me, though. Why? And why does the fact that he won’t
let up thrill me?
let up thrill me?
That’s the part I hate. The thrill. The zing of arousal that shoots
through me every time that jerkface–who isn’t a jerk–does this. He’s pursuing
me and I don’t understand it, but I do like it.

me and I don’t understand it, but I do like it.
More than I want to admit.
The fight inside me feels like layers of muscles in my abs are in a
tug-of-war. Ian McCrory represents everything I fought to achieve in my old
life. Self-made billionaire. Liked by everyone. Admired by even more.

Respected for his hardcore negotiating skills.
And droolingly handsome.
He was my nemesis. My enemy. The guy who sniped deals, and who I

I go into my contacts, and I block him.
He just proved me right.
Taking help from people means you’re obligated.
And no matter how sweet the currency he’s dangling, I don’t like owing

I don’t like owing anyone.
Burke turned my entire life into one big debt.
But my body isn’t available as collateral.
And neither is my heart.
Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars
The Do-Over series comes to an end with the conclusion of Hasty. We’ve seen and heard about Hastings (Mallory’s older sister) in the other books, and I always thought she was a super-stiff stick. A financial whiz, she was uppity and snobby and judgmental and not as mellow and funny as the rest of the girls in the group. But when Hastings falls from grace thanks to her sleazy non-husband, she falls hard. She finds herself living back with her parents in small-town Massachusetts, a few hundred dollars to her name, her savior is the last guy on earth she ever expected to be helping her, and elbow-deep in a birthing cow.
Ok, that part was hysterical. And how easily Ian just jumped in to help Cowtherine give birth was hysterical. I thought this guy can’t be all that bad, Hasty!
Ian helps Hastings rebuild her life when no one else would give her a chance at a job. He is sweet and charming, and not at all what I expected. Then again, Hasty turned out to not be such a witch when all was said and done, too. This book was a fun, clever conclusion to this series!
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
