Publisher Description
I never thought my perp walk would lead to true love.
Then again, I never thought I’d be arrested on RICO charges and hauled away in zip ties on camera for the world to see, minutes after closing the most amazing deal of my career.
And all of it in front of my biggest rival, billionaire wunderkind Ian McCrory.
I am broke.
I am disgraced.
I am alone.
I am a sucker.
But the worst part? I have to go back to my hometown and live in my bedroom filled with relics from my childhood.
Lisa Frank never made me so mad before.
Just when I needed a rescue, I got one — in the form of help from my biggest rival.
He can’t bring back my money.
He certainly can’t bring back my reputation or my pride.
But there’s one thing he can bring back to me.
A sense of hope.
Maybe even love.
Ian sees something in me no one else does, and he’s relentless about making me see it, too. As we grow closer, I’m starting to see that while my entire life used to be a lie, the truth is staring at me in the present — and it’s a truth I like very, very much, hot eyes and gorgeous smile and all.
But I have to be careful.
I can’t be too —
That’s right.
Hasty.
Read the penultimate book in the USA Today bestselling Do-Over Series (Fluffy, Perky, Feisty), as Mallory's sister, Hastings "Hasty" Monahan gets her turn at a happily ever after that starts off with an arrest.
Hers.
And ends with a surprisingly cheesy happily ever after.

"Hasty was the perfect antidote to 2020--utterly adorable and deliciously satisfying." -- USA Today Bestselling Author Melanie Harlow
"From the very first page of Hasty, I knew I was in for a ride. I felt as if I were seeped into the character's lives, feeling second-hand embarrassment and frustration as their paths crossed.

Customer Reviews
An easy, laugh out loud, fun & romantic read in Hasty
This was Hastings “Hasty” Monahan and Ian McCrory’s laugh out loud, Do-Over story. I was really looking forward to the release of this fourth book in the Do-Over series written by the amazing author, Julia Kent! An entertaining and funny romantic read that can be read on its own, although I got more from the book having read the others in the series - I enjoyed being taken through the familiar sights of Anderhill and reconnecting with the other endearing characters that I’ve gotten to know. Admittedly, I wasn’t a fan of Hastings before this book, but by the end of the book, I was cheering for her! An easy fun read that was hard to put down - I would recommend reading this!
Hasty is at the peak of her career and signs the biggest career deal of her life. However, on this same night, she gets arrested because of her con man husband Burke’s shady financial deals. Her husband has left her, she has all her worldly possessions seized, her career reputation and credibility are ruined. With nothing left, she has to move back into her parents’ home where she grew up in Anderhill. The one friend that stays in touch throughout this difficult time is Ian McCrory, her career arch nemesis, but also a very attractive, self-made billionaire. It takes Ian’s determination, patience and time to get through to Hasty (who does not want to be helped or want the attention), however his persistence is worth it!
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Exceedingly enjoyable
This was an exceedingly enjoyable read. A culmination to a fun series. Life isn’t always how we want it, nor works out as we envisage. Being adaptable is the key. A bonus is finding someone who shares a similar taste in tacos.
Great story to end with
Hasty is the final book in the Do-Over Series and what a perfect story to end the series on, this is a fun entertaining read featuring Hastings Monohan. This was the book I have been waiting for and I wasn’t disappointed, it was everything I have come to expect from Ms Kent. Hasty has worked hard to become successful but what will happen when the life she thought she was living turns out to be full of lies and deceit and she finds her world tumbling down around her. The only thing left for her is to go back to her hometown of Anderville, lick her wounds and try to start over but what she didn’t expect was for Ian McCrory to follow her back to the small town she grew up in but sometimes help comes from the people we least expect...... Ian is determined to help Hasty, he knows she has potential to be the best again and being attracted to the stunning woman doesn’t hurt either.... I loved this book, it ticked all my boxes and I really enjoyed this heartfelt romance that has the perfect mix of love, humour and drama. I swooned and I smiled as I was drawn in to Hasty and Ian’s journey, I was captivated from the first page and there was no putting down until I had read the final line. This book will appeal to a wide range of audiences and I highly recommend it.
