Publisher Description
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.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
This messy, imperfect love story definitely doesn’t start with a meet-cute. Miles Archer may be a handsome airplane pilot, but nursing student Tate Collins isn’t impressed. After all, the first time she sees Miles, he’s passed out drunk in front of her brother’s apartment. But that doesn’t stop them from acting on their instant attraction. At first, their hot, no-strings arrangement is pure, steamy fun, but eventually Tate realizes just how not okay she is with Miles’ two ground rules: Don’t ask about his past and don’t imagine a shared future. Only a romance master like Colleen Hoover (CoHo to those who love her) could make us care so deeply about such imperfect characters as the emotionally needy Tate and walled-off Miles—and narrators Grace Grant and Deacon Lee do a remarkable job of revealing each character’s emotional shades. Get ready to ugly cry your way through this redemptive romance.
Customer Reviews
Male narrator wasn’t great
Love the book but the male narrator drove me nuts. Sounded like he hasn’t much experience in narrating. I hated rhe way he pronounced Rachel.
Couldn’t listen to this narrator.
This might be a good book. But the narrator is terrible. Sounds like an AI robot reading the story to you. I couldn’t take it. I recommend Imogen Church to read your next book!!
The Final Chapters Made It
I ended up loving the ending of this book and found myself truly rooting for the characters during the last quarter of the story. My heart absolutely broke once I learned why Miles was so emotionally damaged, and that backstory added the depth I had been waiting for throughout most of the novel.
However, for the first 3/4 of the book, the writing felt somewhat elementary and the characters lacked the emotional depth I expected. It was hard to fully connect with them early on because their relationship seemed more surface-level than meaningful. While the ending redeemed a lot for me emotionally, it took a long time to get there.
Overall, the final chapters saved this book for me, but the journey getting there felt uneve
