Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover

Atria Books  August 5, 2014)

Womens Fiction/New Adult Romance

 

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Reminders of Him and It Ends with Us comes a hauntingly seductive tale of love, control, and the devastating secrets that can destroy it all.

When Tate Collins meets airline pilot Miles Archer, it isn’t love at first sight. 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 they can’t handle it at all.

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

REVIEW

An emotional, character driven story. A painful and beautiful love story. Very well written and easy to read. Miles has two relationship rules that sum up the story: Don’t ask about his past and never expect a future. I found frustration with Mile’s behavior though I knew he had a back story that would be revealed later in the story and with Tate who kept putting up with him (which means I was invested in the story). Great ending. Enjoyable read.
