By: Denise Williams

Narrated by: Teddy Hamilton, January LaVoy

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?

Critic reviews

"Witty dialogue, fun friends and adorable dogs round out this feel-good romance."—BookPage

Gives hope

What a fun story!! FMC has a horrible breakup (and viral moment) from a very bland guy. She travels out of state to help her brother, and then meets his friend who encourages her to live more boldly. She makes a list of things she wants to re-do so that those type of memories are no longer tied to her ex. Such a beautiful story of turning pain into triumph… and of building your life rather than settling for anything.

Denise Williams is extremely good at explaining every sexy detail. The characters were great and when you add January Lavoy to that mix, it’s a winner. Just a fun read.

Another amazing book by Denise with the best Audiobook duo attached

The depth of characters was awesome, the love and fears and wins were incredibly relatable. January and Teddy always make the best team!

So Great

Willow is such a sweet character and your heart goes out to her because she’s going through it after a bad breakup that effected every aspect of her life. Deacon is such a great guy we met him in the previous book and he’s a bit of a womanizer but is also in a transitional point of his life. I love the story of these two and the narration is amazing!
