USA Today Bestseller

What would you do with a second chance at your first time? Following a bad breakup, Willow Lewis tackles a re-do list with the help of her brother’s best friend in this sweet and sexy romance.

Willow experienced all her big firsts with her high school sweetheart. Now, reeling from their very public breakup, she wants to get a re-do on those important moments. While dog-sitting for her brother during his deployment, she has a chance to start over and spending time with his best friend gives her the confidence to start checking items off her “Re-Do list.”

Deacon promised his best friend two things when Cruz left for a deployment: that he’d look out for Willow, and that he’d keep his hands off Cruz’s baby sister. “Operation Re-Do” is innocent enough at first: Deacon likes Willow and he’s willing to help her out any way he can. But when the list of firsts turns from a first dance to first kisses and more, Deacon can’t deny the connection he feels to Willow.

As Deacon’s and Willow’s firsts turn to seconds, thirds, and fourths, this pair can’t get enough of each other—and they support each other through new challenges. But they are both aware there’s an end date to Willow’s time in town… and even if she were to stay, Deacon doesn’t know how to choose between his loyalty to his closest friend and the woman he’s fallen in love with. With no more romantic moments on her list for them to re-do, can these two still find a way to stay together?

Super Cute & Sexy

Such a great read, perfect for lovers of romance. I loved the idea of a “re-do” list and the brothers best friend trope!

An easy read/listen that kept me engaged. I really enjoyed this one.

A great and fun read

I loved this book. So much fun to read. It had me laughing out loud so many times. A great story about second loves and forbidden romance.

Loved it!

The Re-Do was a fun, sweet rom com and I could not get enough of Willow and Deacon. When Willow’s life is flipped upside down she goes to stay at her brother’s where she meets his best friend Deacon. I absolutely loved the fun banter and chemistry between these two. I loved the premise of the book about re-doing all her firsts because they were now ruined. This book was a fun slow burn and I absolutely fell in love with these characters.

The audiobook is performed by January Lavoy and Teddy Hamilton in dual narration. These two brought the characters banter and chemistry to life while doing amazing at portraying their insecurities and vulnerabilities. I loved both of their performances and love this duo as Declan and Willow!

Deep of characters and relatable challenges

Great read. Love everything bff this author writes because she always has characters with relatable qualities and it’s more than just romance. It’s self discovery. Well written.

Love these characters!

This was a great book and I loved the narration so much. A quick and easy listen that I’d highly recommend. The characters are likable and the romance is adorable. We love a feminist man!
