Synopsis:

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:

I read this book on Sunday in one sitting. It was an amazing read and I love Colleen Hoover as an author.
The book centres around two characters: Tate and Miles. Both are not looking for relationships, but both cannot pretend that they don’t share feelings for each other. They decide to do a no strings attached agreement, but when Tate starts falling for Miles, and he pushes her away, things get a little ugly. They both have to learn what it is they want from each other, as well as what they want from love.
I loved the theme in this book! It talked about how even though love can be ugly sometimes, it is still something worth fighting for. Our past will always be with us, but it shouldn’t prevent us from having a happy future!
One thing I do want to comment about is this is an adult book with mature content, so to the younger people on bookstagram, read this book only if you want and when you are ready. The book deals with mature themes, and I know for sure I would not have appreciated them when I was a teenager, and I’m glad I read this book as an adult. I’m not saying don’t read it- I believe people should read what they want- just that you might appreciate it more when you are a bit older!
