Blog Tour: Review of The Do-Over by Melissa MacKinnon

 

Title: The Do-Over
Author: Melissa MacKinnon
Genre: Contemporary Romance

After years in the grueling California dating scene, Maggie Kelley has finally agreed to marry her Mr. Right Now. But there’s just one teensy problem…the county clerk lets her know that she’s technically still married to her Vegas fling: the best three days she ever had...and can’t actually remember. The moment she sees her very hot husband after eight years, with his works-well-with-his-hands attitude, she’s sure their wedding night must have been explosive.
 
The absolute last person Finnegan Garrity expected at his door is Maggie—his ultimate “one who got away.” Yet here she is in his small-town boat shop, looking just as adorable as ever…and wanting a divorce. Yeah, he has no intention of letting that happen. Now he’s got one week to convince Maggie that they’re still perfect for each other.
 
But he’s going to need more than just a do-over: he’s going to need a miracle.

My thoughts: 

The Do-Over involves Maggie and Finn.  8 years before, they got married in Vegas on a dare.  When Finn left two days later, he thought his marriage was being annulled.  Now Maggie is in Maine telling him they are still married.  Finn sets his sights on wooing Maggie to prove they should stay married.

I thought this was a really cute second chance/fake engagement romance.   Finn was my favorite of the two and I was rooting for him to get Maggie to see they belonged together.  I loved how he showed her his life and home town.   I loved how his family and friends embraced her.  Nana was hilarious.  The ending was sweet and perfect for them.  My only complaint was that I wish there was a bedroom scene instead of a fade to black.  After being reminded repeatedly about how hot the sex was in Vegas, I was expecting one.  But that is a "me' problem.  I definitely recommend this one.

About Melissa MacKinnon:
Melissa spent her childhood exploring the coast of down east Maine without parental supervision and immersing herself in any book she could get her scrappy little hands on. Although she pursued a career in theater, the written word is her true calling. She leads a full life with her husband and six children traveling the country to wherever the Army sends them in her very large twelve passenger van, in what she lovingly deems “organized chaos”. She finds time to write in her “spare time”, somewhere in between soccer practices and nap time with coffee. Lots and lots of coffee. She loves creating unforgettable romance, and enjoys writing and reading everything from sexy, sword-toting heroes to spit-out-your-coffee funny romantic comedies… as long as she doesn’t get the book wet. She leaves that up to the characters.
