TOP 30 Books and Series of 2014 - #20

When Tate Collins meets airline pilot Miles Archer, she knows 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.

Meme by The Book Avenue
Collen Hoover has taken me back to my first love of her writing. I almost dare to say that Ugly Love has taken over as my number one Colleen Hoover book.

Once again, Ms. Hoover has taken us on an emotional roller coaster, with two broken souls trying to find their place in each others lives as well as the world.

Tate and Miles had me all over the place. This book is told in both of their POVs and there is a lot of going back and forth from present to past for Miles. But the journey you take with him and when you learn his secret...it absolutely tore me apart.

Tate Collins moves in with her older brother and meet his next door neighbor and friend Miles Archer. After an unusual introduction, the attraction between these two is undeniable and combustible. But Tate knows that there is something not right. Miles is sending mix signals. The pull is too much for Tate to take and so she makes a deal with Miles just so she can have whatever you can from him.

Miles has been hurt in the past, not being able to get over this great love. But what exactly is it? And why does Miles think he is unlovable and unable to love himself.

When the secret is revealed...I actually gasped out loud and the ugly tears started to fall.

If you are looking for a good cleansing cry. Ugly Love is definitely the book for you.
 

 

I have been with this series from the beginning and the Life. Destiny. Fate. Series is a fun ride to be on. Characters you will fall in love with and blush from their hot and steamy relationships. If you are looking for a well written, fun series. These are the books for you.
