Stephanie Sullivan: April 2022

April 14, 2022

TITLE: Ugly Love

RATING: ★★★★

Summary (from Goodreads): 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.

REVIEW: Okay...now, I love Colleen Hoover just as much as the next person. Her books have always left their mark on me in some way or other, and Ugly Love was no different, but to be completely honest, I felt kind of disappointed after reading this one. One thing I love about Colleen's books are the amazing plots, and although there was a good storyline to Ugly Love, what really makes up 80% of the book is just sex. Now, I'm not a prude by any stretch of the imagination, but after awhile even I kept thinking, "Good grief...AGAIN?" It was like the two main characters had nothing else in common besides lust. If you can overlook that then I would recommend Ugly Love. If you don't like raunchy tales, then you might want to skip this one.
