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
“The romance between fiercely independent Melanie and charming Wyatt heats up even as outsiders threaten to derail their newfound happiness. This novel will hook readers with its warm, inviting characters and the promise for similar future installments.” –Publishers Weekly
“This brand-new trilogy, Most Likely To, based on yearbook superlatives, kicks off with a novel that will encourage you to root for the incredibly likable Melanie. Her friends are hilarious and readers will swoon over Wyatt, who is charming and strong. Even Melanie’s daughter, Hope, is a hoot! This romance is jam-packed with animated characters, and Bybee displays her creative writing talent wonderfully.” –RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars

My review:
Sometimes you have to travel many miles to figure out that the place you started, is your destination. In high school, River Bend native, Melanie Barlett was voted most likely to succeed but she doesn’t feel very successful as her car limps into her home town for a class reunion. Now a single mom with little money, she is hoping to find some place to regroup and figure out what to do with her life.
With the help of her childhood friends and a handsome younger man, Wyatt Gibson, she finally starts to believe this is the place to be. That is until someone she trusted in the past threatens the one person in the world that means more to her than anything, her daughter Hope.
This is a fast and enjoyable read. I love the cougar aspect of the story and the suspense aspect of the second half keeps you guessing at the outcome. It’s another five star book from Catherine and I am looking forward to the next two.
