New edited version with bonus epilogue!
Arrogant womanizer, Kyle Manchester hates blind dates but when best friend, Brad calls in a favor, insisting Kyle take out his girlfriend’s sister, Kyle reluctantly agrees. Attorney Lanie Carmichael’s appearance is no surprise. She is dowdy, awkward, and dressed in so many layers she resembles a wedding cake...and not in an edible way. Her brazen attitude though, astonishes him, especially when she explains she has no interest in gorgeous Kyle. Lanie Carmichael is in love with Brad, and wants Kyle’s assistance in winning his best friend’s heart.

Kyle gradually accepts, justifying that the mystery of Lanie has sparked his natural, thirsty curiosity. As an ambitious journalist, he also can’t resist the Pulitzer worthy scoop she offers him. However, as Lanie sheds more layers, both emotionally and physically, Kyle begins to examine his life choices, and his true feelings for this enigmatic girl. With Kyle’s support, Lanie begins to unravel the secrets of her past, and the deep pain that has quietly defined her life. As they each learn more about themselves and each other, both question how a relationship built on fraudulent lies between two broken people could ever survive.
Originally published in 2014. New edited version with bonus epilogue!

It is a pleasure watching a couple actually fall in love. Jane from Dear Author - A recommended read The Do Over was a heartwarming and endearingly sweet escape with some characters who charmed their way into my heart and I enjoyed it immensely. If you haven't read any of this authors work, I'd definitely recommend checking out her books. Your romantic heart will thank you! - Jenny from Totallybooked blog

This has been a fairly good year for finding books I have truly enjoyed and I think this one might be the best find so far!
I don't care for angst in books but it didn't stop me from enjoying this one. I absolutely loved both characters, their chemistry, their humor, just an all around great read!

4.0 out of 5 stars loved this!

Socially awkward heroine (in a shy way, not cringy), which I thought was perhaps autistic but eventually you understand why.
Hero is a very good looking (obviously) player, who is her sister’s boyfriend best friend (yeah, read it again, it makes sense).
Both go on a blind date (or so he thinks). He thinks he is doing his friend a favour, and going on a “pity date” with the frumpy sister.
Turns out the joke’s on him (still frumpy, but she didn’t see this as a date to begin with).
From here on, she surprises him at every turn and I totally loved the fact she “owned” it.
I also loved the fact although she is often treated as stupid by these closest to her, she is far far from it.
The characters development was great and I liked the humorous banter between them.

This is an intelligent romance. Very easy and entertaining but on the other hand not as “light” or cliche as most books are.
Definitely looking up this author’s work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great ugly ducklings who fall for each other kind of tale

The Premise
The latest in dick-lit trend, with the story told exclusively from the male POV, arrogant womanizer Kyle Manchester hates blind dates but best friend, Brad calls in a favor, insisting Kyle take out his girlfriend’s sister and his co-worker, so Kyle reluctantly agrees. When we meet Lanie Carmichael, she is possibly the most awkward, funny looking heroine, but her attitude is what draws him in and makes Kyle decide to help Lanie, who states she has no interest in Kyle but is in love with Brad and would like Kyle’s help in transforming herself to win Brad.

The Good
I was concerned at the beginning of the story when Kyle is horribly judgmental and arrogant, and Lanie just takes it. But then somewhere along the way, the story turns on its head, and the predictability factor (well some of it at least) goes with it. The MCs much more nuanced and become much more likeable than first impressions would indicate, and their relationship deepens and you fall right along with them. Kyle and Lanie’s chemistry is really great and the love scenes are fantastic without overpowering the story. Seeing the transformations of Kyle and Lanie from ugly ducklings - Kyle transform emotionally as Lanie transforms physically - is fantastic.

The Not as Good
As well developed as I believe the MCs were, the secondary characters were pretty much cardboard cutouts, villains to serve the tale without any redeeming values. Even Brad, Lanie’s original crush, isn’t a villain, but isn’t a fully realized character either. It was like two solidly built set pieces set in front of a kindergartener’s drawing.

The Bottom Line
I really liked it and heartily recommend it if you’re looking for a charming, funny ugly duckling type of tale.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fine, but with a few caveats
Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2022
I got a few pages in before I had to check when this had been written: 2014 apparently, but there was mention of an update and added epilogue. Unfortunately, it still needs an update. Ideally maybe even a rewrite.

There was a jarring amount of sl*t shaming and "I'm not like other girls" mentions, verbatim. One-dimensional unhinged evil sister? Check. Rude, arrogant, emotionally stunted love interest? Check. Main character who loves sports, doesn't need makeup, lowkey dislikes other women? Check. Truly wild. It may be unfair to hold this book up to my 2022 standards, but even when I was 20yrs old back in 2014 I could tell this kind of writing was problematique.

Kyle was especially hard to tolerate. I get that he's supposed to be gross and misogynistic in the beginning, but... oof. Brace yourself. Also I wish he'd been given a different profession altogether or it had been a richer part of his character. His journalism career was only mentioned as a way to get more screen time with Lanie and didn't actually come up all that much outside of their scenes together. He certainly had an interesting relationship with the truth for (supposedly) being a hard-hitting journalist championing for the underdogs, but whatever.

Overall, this is a story that's easy to read (if you leave your 2022 liberal sensitivities at the door) and with characters that are fine (so long as you don't expect much depth from any of them). Give it a whirl if you have Kindle Unlimited but if you don't, strongly reconsider purchasing.

I NEVER WOULDVE READ THIS JUST FROM READING THE BLURB.. but OMG!!! Its ENGAGING, its FUNNY, SEXY and ALOT OF LIGHT SWEET MOMENTs!! LIKE NOT CORNY TEENY BOPPER MOMENTs! But real mature perfectly timed swoon worthy moments !!! Its really different!

Here you find a STRONG, SMART, ARTICULATE woman who we start to love once she started coming out of her corporate attire/taste . Here we find a woman who didnt need a make over, she had everything.. and a H who is “CASA NOVA” in the dating department, who fell NOT from first look but from their first conversation. She piqued his interest not from looks initially but through her INTELLIGENCE and her Humor. Great BOOK

A MUST READ!!

Didn't like it. At all. The characters were shallow and boring and predictable (as was the story), and there were so many mistakes and phrases that didn't add up that it made me wonder if the author was german or just bad at spelling.
This book was unfortunately a waste of time.

Two sister—one with brains the other with beauty—both want the same guy. Obviously he prefers the beauty. When the brainy one decides to pump his best friend for information about the man she loves, she learns more than she bargained for. Let’s just say the best friend is a sex-addict with commitment issues, and you’ll get the picture.
I read this from cover to cover in a day. Lunch…no. Chores…no. Just this book. The characters were well drawn, and plot twisted in unexpected way. M.K Schiller painted a picture so vivid I was there, hanging out with my new best friends. One of the best books I’ve read in ages.
