Do Over by Serena Bell, book one in her Under One Roof series, is a wonderful, heartwarming romance about a two friends who became lovers with a consequence but broke up thinking they were doing a favor to the other and now have a second chance. A lot of tropes are covered in this amazing romance book; friends-to-lovers, second chance, forced proximity. When Maddie shows up at Jack's doorstep crying over her latest broken relationship, Jack can't help but let her back into his life and into his home while she finds a place to live. The last time Jack consoled Maddie like this, it led to the conception of their son, Gabe, but Jack would love to have them back in his life permanently if he only was deserving of them. The chemistry sizzles between Jack and Maddie and a magnetic attraction keeps drawing them together. The contributions by Gabe, their son, added another dimension to their relationship, connections, as well as strengthening each of them as a parent. It is apparent through their interactions that neither Maddie nor Jack ever got over the other. Having their lives were forever linked because of their son should have allowed them to share their feelings, but both of them have some major trust and communications issues they need to overcome.
Ms. Bell wrote a wonderful, emotional, and heartwarming story that should not be missed. She provided a tale rich with sizzling chemistry, strong magnetism, humor, family dynamics, clever banter, the magic of love, and endearing characters giving Jack and Maddie a second chance at love, happiness, and along with Gabe, a family. I highly recommend Do Over to other readers and look forward to the next book in the series

All the feels!
Single dad Jack Parker is spending the evening at home with his 4-year-old son, Gabe, when Gabe's mother, Maddie Adams, suddenly shows up on his doorstep in tears. After attending a work function, she returned home to the apartment she shared with her boyfriend to find him cheating on her with her best friend. As Jack is comforting Maddie, one thing nearly leads to another, but they're interrupted by their son. Afterwards, Maddie realizes that she has nowhere to go unless she uproots Gabe from their home in Seattle to move in with her parents in California. Jack convinces her to stay with him instead until she can find a place of her own. They both know it's a bad idea, but Maddie decides that it's worth the risk to minimize the changes for Gabe. As for Jack, he never really got over Maddie and can't help liking the idea of having her so close to him. Could this be his chance to prove that they're meant to be together?This book turned out to be even better than I was expecting! Maddie and Jack were both such endearing, relatable characters and I found it very easy to root for them both individually and as a couple. Jack was dealing with a ton of baggage because of the way his father treated him when he was growing up, but I loved the way he fought to overcome it and be a better man and father to his son. I also loved the way Jack and Maddie's story was told through flashbacks. It was easy to see how much they loved each other and that they belonged together, but at the same time it broke my heart because they couldn't quite seem to make their relationship work. I actually teared up when they finally reconciled because it felt like they'd fought so hard for it.Overall, "Do Over" gave me all the feels and I loved it. I highly recommend this book for all contemporary romance fans and look forward to the next book in the series.
