Lanie Carmichael is head over heels in love with her co-worker Brad Jansen. However, Brad has eyes only for Lanie's sister. And how can you blame him? Lanie's sister is a blonde bombshell while Lanie is a pushover, a workaholic recluse and virgin with no sense of fashion, whose only "attractive" side is her blossoming career as a lawyer.But Lanie has a plan - she wants Kyle Manchester, manwhore and Brad's best friend, to give her insights on Brad. Kyle is somewhat puzzled by Lanie - not by her looks, but by her attitude: she's straightforward and blunt, and totally different from the easy women he's used to. Reluctantly, but very slowly and surely, he is determined to help Lanie in more ways than necessary to reach her goal.First of all, let me start by saying that The Do-Over was a fantastic and hilarious read. Even though the plot is very much a My Fair Lady plot, and resembles a few books I've come to read over the last months (A Reclusive Heart by R.L. Mathewson, Beautiful Player by Christina Lauren and Before Jamaica Lane by Samantha Young...) it is a whole new story that you will enjoy reading for its endearing characters and humorous passages.The writing (which is in 3rd person and alternating between Lanie and Kyle's POV) is absolutely perfect, funny and cheesy in just the right kind of way and the sexy scenes are mildly steamy but highly enjoyable.If you enjoy a romantic and fun read, you will definitely enjoy The Do-Over!
