Ugly Love

Author: Colleen Hoover
Release Date: August 5, 2014
Publisher: Atria Books
Pages: 324
Genre: Contemporary, New Adult, Romance

Summary

When Tate Collins meets airline pilot Miles Archer, she doesn't think it's love at first site. They wouldn't even go so far as to consider themselves friends. The only thing Tate and Miles have in common is an undeniable mutual attraction. Once their desires are out in the open, they realize they have the perfect set-up. He doesn't want love, she doesn't have time for love, so that just leaves the sex. Their arrangement could be surprisingly seamless, as long as Tate can stick to the only two rules Miles has for her. 

Never ask about the past.
Don't expect a future.

They think they can handle it, but realize almost immediately that they can't handle it at all.

Hearts get infiltrated.
Promises get broken.
Rules get shattered.
Love gets ugly.

The Rundown

So I'm getting more and more excited for Colleen Hoover's latest release, It Ends With Us, due out August 2, 2016! Like any good fangirl, I decided to go back and reread one of my Hoover faves to review before her next book birthday!

This book has everything. Seriously! Fun, multi-layered characters, humor, love, sorrow, life lessons, and a wise old elevator operator named Cap (who is still to this day one of my favorite side characters).

I remember going into this book when I first read it a few years ago thinking it was going to be kind of a ho hum new adult romance. What I got was anything but! 

Readers will root for Tate and Miles from the very beginning. It goes way beyond that friends with benefits vibe that the description puts out. Told in alternating POVs we get Tate's thoughts on the present while we travel back six years with Miles as we try to unravel the past of this sexy, mysterious, broken guy right along with Tate. 

Tate never meant to fall for Miles, and Miles was terrified of loving Tate. But she sees the good in this guy so much that she rides it out to show him that love and time can heal so much.

And when we learn why Miles is holding back from loving Tate...just go on and grab the tissues. 

If you like contemporary romance or new adult and you're not reading Colleen Hoover, pick up this title and prepare to have your world rocked! I can't wait for the movie to come out!

Rating: 4.5 Stars! Loved it!
