Publisher's summary

From Colleen Hoover, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Ends With Us, a heart-wrenching love story that proves attraction at first sight can be messy.

When Tate Collins meets airline pilot Miles Archer, she doesn't think it's 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.

Great Story - Worth the Credit

What made the experience of listening to Ugly Love the most enjoyable?

The best experience was the dual narration. I like how Myles Archers story gradually unfolded leading up to his present situation with Tate.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

I feel that both narrators did a great job narrating. I just wasn't particularly satisfied with the presentation of the male narrator (no offense), something off about the voice.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This book left me on edge at points,which is a good thing. Emotionally, toward the end when we finally find out the issue with Myles is where my heart broke, but it turns out for the best.

Any additional comments?

Overall, worth the listen. Great story.

Hurts So Good

What did you love best about Ugly Love?

This book perfectly encapsulates the high that comes from chasing someone that doesn't want to be caught. If you take one more step, you'll be able to reach them. No? Not that step? Maybe one more. One more. One more.

Miles Archer is every boy we've ever cried over because we weren't special enough to change his mind about being with us. He's beautiful, charming, smart, caring, and completely unavailable. He's warned us time and time again that he can't be with us and that he'll only break our heart, but we just don't care. We love on him, swoon for him, cry ourselves to sleep over him, and then get up and do it all over again. One more. One more. Maybe we'll get him this time?

What other book might you compare Ugly Love to and why?

It's hard to compare this book to any others because the storyline is so unique. The main relationship is very similar to Colleen's other books though. They're believable and they suck you in. The banter is always great and you really invest in the characters and their relationships.

Which character – as performed by Grace Grant and Deacon Lee – was your favorite?

I really loved Tate. She's smart, funny, caring, and she's so so real. It's incredibly easy to relate to Tate and her ever-changing feelings for Miles. Rather, her constant feelings for Miles and her ever-changing feelings about her feelings for Miles.. if that makes any sense.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Relationships early in life are always dramatic and emotional, but it's what makes them so unique. It's not every day you get to feel anything in any sort of extreme. You just float through life never overly happy or sad. This book had every emotion on the spectrum and it was nice to experience them again.

Ok book but…

The story would have been really good if it weren’t for the soft porn.
Ok, if that’s your jam… while I certainly don’t mind love scenes this is a bit much for no reason

Good book

I always enjoy books from Colleen Hoover. This wasn’t the best one I’ve read but it did keep me interested.

I did not love the narrators. Taite did okay, she enunciated words in odd places. But I still enjoyed her. I really struggled with Miles. I hope I’m not the only one that hated how he said Rachel 😂

Overall, a good book.

Couldn’t stop listening

Don’t start this book if you need to accomplish anything in the next few hours. Hooked me from the start.

Completely fabulous !

I adored every moment of this book. I will say I don’t think the voices depicted the characters in my head (especially Miles) but I got over it. Absolute GEM of a story. Highly recommend.
