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
See AllFantastic Finale!
This final book in the Do-Over series is bittersweet to me! I loved all these books and this final story of Hastings (the gal you loved to hate) and Ian was fabulous.
Ms. Kent has the writing chops to take a character that seemed to have no redeeming qualities in the previous books and brought your thinking around. Not only did Ms. Kent make Hasty redeemable, but also admirable.
Ian is just a true knight in stellar armor! He is a financial wunderkind and likes to do things on the down-low. Like helping Hastings when she feels like there is no one left.
The sparks between Ian and Hasty are hotter than the hinges on hades gate! I loved the directness of both of them, it was refreshing to read.
I loved the twists and turns that this story took. This was a fast-paced read for me that I couldn't put down until the end. And what a beautiful ending it was, to the story and to the series!
Hasty
Good book, like all her others.
Heartwarming, Witty, and Absolutely Captivating!
I am so in love with this book! This, I believe, is the last in this incredible series, which is such a shame. However, it couldn’t have ended on a better note. This story is a testament to the old adage about not knowing someone until you walk a mile in their shoes. The character of Hastings Monahan—Hasty to those who love her... or just love to annoy her—is a prime example of this. Everyone thought they knew her, but you can’t always judge someone’s heart by the image they portray to the world. This book showed us that there is so much more to this character than what’s on the surface. This story is one of growth and self acceptance for Hasty. It’s also an absolutely beautiful love story, and illustrates how life changing it can be when someone really sees you and loves you for it. This story and these characters are masterfully and artfully brought to life by Julia Kent. And if you can read this story without it warming your heart and bringing a smile to your face, you might want to check your pulse because you’ve either got a heart of stone or you’re dead.
