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.

A must-read book of the year! I loved every word, I felt every moment, and I will never forget this story. I don't give out a lot of 6 star ratings (in fact this will be the first one I've given this year) but the truth is that this book went above and beyond. The story was powerful, the writing was stunning, and the way every single piece of it was woven together was simply breathtaking."--Aestas, blog review

Colleen Hoover just demolished me. Completely and 100% blew me away...not that I'm surprised or anything because she never ceases to amaze me.... I was pulled in from the beginning...and I loved every second of it!"--True Story Book Blog, blog tour review

Please buy this!!!!!! I finished this book within 24 hrs of starting it. People are not lying when they say it’s one of those books that you just can’t put down. All of the characters and the incredible story line just draw you in and make you feel as though you NEED to know what happens next. This book flows so well and seemingly effortlessly between the flashbacks which is something no other book I have read has done. It has the perfect amount of truth and love and excitement and disappointment (not in the book but a character ahaha) and wonder and hope. It pulls on your heartstrings and then let’s them tho go, pulling you in, mesmerising you with the storyline. It was beautiful and emotional and the writing was phenomenal. I can’t explain it in a way that will truly capture the way I felt reading it, so you will just have to read it and experience it for yourself. I would 100000% recommend reading this and I am definitely reading more from this incredible author.

Ugly Love becomes you

Reviewed in Australia on 6 August 2014

Verified Purchase

This has to be the best CoHo book to date. It is beautifully written, like prose and love letters.
The thing with books about friends with benefits you always assume how it is going to end and that's fine. But what makes this book stand out against all the others is Miles journey to get to where he is. He is a completely original hero and one you cant help but fall in love with.
Miles' loving nature was shown brilliantly and if it showed you anything it showed just how hard he loved.
Tate is a strong heroine, her character is lovable, her journey is still a strong one but on a different level than Miles'.
Together they have chemistry you can feel. I never felt that sex was just thrown in there for the sack of it, it all had a point.
It was filled with passion, emotion, it was sexy and every scene in this book counted. It all carved a great story to perfection.

A great read!!!

Reviewed in Australia on 4 July 2019

I really enjoyed this book and read it in only 24 hours. It is a story told from the two perspectives of the protagonists, with Nate narrating in the present and Miles six years ago. Through this we get to see the history of Miles and how this has shaped him today. This made the story interesting and kept me wanting to read more. Overall this book was very emotional but it tied up well with a lovely ending. This is the first Colleen Hoover novel I have read and I can't wait to read more from this author.

Epic .....perfection

Reviewed in Australia on 23 August 2014

Holy s***. This book, my gosh this book was full to the brim of feels. At 30% I actually had to stop reading becasue all I could think to myself was “This is going to hurt…..this can not end well…..this is going to huuuuuuurt.” This book was so beautifully written I am in awe. I have read other books by Colleen Hoover, but this one was perfection. It was poetic, seamless, emotional and passionate. The beautiful description of the characters emotions was magical, I felt like I was inside their souls living their feelings at the same time they experienced them. I wanted to reach out and shake Miles, I wanted to comfort Tate and tell her she deserved someone better. I wanted to hold Miles in my arms and take away his guilt and pain and I wanted to sit down with Tate and let her know she has to hang on. All these feeling in one book your saying? Two words Ugly Love.

I think I will forgo the story analysis and just talk about the character that I loved and hated so much. When we first get to know Tate, I had mixed opinions about her, I thought she was smart and intelligent, then when she gets herself involved with Miles, and it is clear she is out of her depth I began to think she was too weak and vulnerable. But then the more I read about her, the more I realised she was not weak at all, she risked her heart for Miles, even when he continually told her that she meant nothing to him, she hung on, she believed even subconsciously that she could sway him, she knew deep down that this was her shot.

For such an outwardly confidant and seemingly easy going man Miles is a basket case, he is a mess inside, he is destroyed and knows he has no hope of recovery. When he meets Tate she makes him feel again, but being the stubborn guilt ridden bastard that he is he refuses to feel anything for her, or refuses to let him self feel anything for her and he pretty much uses her. He knows she has feelings for him but he is too powerless to give in to these feelings, he knows he is breaking her but he cant stop himself, he cant keep away just as much as he cant have her.

This book actually got a bit hard to read, like I mentioned earlier. There was so much emotions involved with these two characters, it hurt to see them both hurting. As much as I wanted a HEA I was not 100% sure that we would actually get it, becasue in real life there sometimes aren’t happy endings, the way Miles was so adamant that he could never love again was not an easy journey for him to overcome. That being said I am not going to spoil this book for you, just do yourself a favour and read this book, but don’t expect a happy lovey dovey romance, this is real life people!!!

Doormat of a girl meets brooding, uncommunicative character who says he cannot love but is happy to have lots of sex. No strings you understand... So they do. Have lots of sex. I couldn't warm to either Tate or Miles characters. By half way through the book I didn't care what happened to either of them.

This was an indulgence, like eating cake and candy! It’s a predictable story but had moments of depth and I did shed a few tears…loss of love is always sad.

NOT THE COVER ADVERTISED

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 September 2021

Verified Purchase

I love this book (I’ve read it on kindle) but I’ve been holding off buying it until I could get the American cover. I thought I’d hit lucky when I placed this order but unfortunately I wasn’t sent the cover they’re advertising, I was sent the horrible UK version. I would never have bought it if it had the correct image.

My star rating reflects the service/advertising, the book itself is a 4 star read for me.

Late to this party!

Wow. How have I never met Miles Mikel Archer before? Seriously how?

Ugly Love has not only stolen a little piece of my heart but maybe the whole damn thing. I was completely swept up in Miles and Tate's amazing story. I fell in love with the way Colleen completely shattered my heart and then slowly pieced it back together, I love that I lost myself in all that was unfolding before my eyes and like a starved animal, I devoured it all. Every. Last. Word.

The story is so perfectly balanced, it's angsty, beautiful, ugly, honest and completely raw. There is no sugar coating the pure emotion and the chemistry is off the scale. Whatever you feel from what you read, you will will feel is completely and while heartedly.

No good love story is simple, where would the fun in that be? It has more ups and downs than a rollercoaster, it has the power to break your heart and make you pray that love is strong enough to conquer whatever life decided to throw in its path. Ugly Love has this magical way of combining all of the above and making you hang on to top the very end to find out how it ends. It doesn't help that Miles is well just gah! I love him, all of him! He may be a little messed up, he may be closed off and he may be an absolute tool sometimes but he's a tool I would happily have!! And Tate. Isn't she every one of us women? We have all been in that situation. Hoping that by sticking it out and holding on, no matter how much it kills us, we will eventually get what we want not matter how impossible it seems. The feelings, emotion and decisions, what woman hasn't been there. I certainly have. I think that is what makes Ugly Love able to steal its readers hearts.

I am off to find me more CoHo to read and immerse myself in.

But for those of you who haven't read Ugly Love? Get to it! You won't be disappointed.

Good romance well written

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 October 2021

I like the story here and the characterisation. Well written, nicely paced and interesting. I read this after reading It Ends With Us as I really enjoyed that and wanted to read more by the author. However……and I appreciate I may be in the minority here but - it had too much sex in it! I felt that the sex actually took over from the story in parts - and the story was good enough. I like sex scenes in books like the next person but it got a bit “boring” in the end. I could just read erotic books or porn for that lol! I understand it was to show the difference in their “relationship” to lead to why but was overdone. Really want to read more by the author - but with less sex!

Good book, not as amazing as 'It Ends With Us'

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 November 2021

Verified Purchase

This was my second Colleen Hoover book, and after hearing so much hype about it, I thought I'd give it a shot. The first book I read by Colleen Hoover was 'It Ends With Us', which I absolutely adored. Overall, I think I preferred the storyline of 'It Ends With Us' as there was more of a plot going on. 'Ugly Love' is also really good, with lots of spicy scenes, but this did get quite repetitive after a while as there wasn't much of a storyline besides this. Overall, a good book, but wouldn't absolutely rave about it. If you're debating whether to read this or 'It Ends With Us', I'd suggest the latter!

.
Queen CoHo has done it again and managed to make me feel so many emotions all at once. I think everyone knows how much I adore It Ends With Us and Ugly Love is right up there on the pedestal with it for me. An absolutely stunning read that I know will stay with me for a very long time
.
I don't know what it is about Colleen's writing but I don't just read it, it actually crawls under my skin and straight into my veins. I just can't walk away once I've started, which is why Ugly Love is now the 4th book by her that I've devoured in a day
.
The story is flawlessly told from both Tate and Miles' POV, Tate in the present and Miles in the past. Miles' past was so full of pain and the more I read the more I could actually feel it deep in my soul and when the source of his pain is revealed it is gut wrenching. It breaks you, but it also makes the tender moments with Tate - the small smiles, the stroke of a thumb or a stolen glance, so powerful and meaningful. Tate is willing to be the woman in Miles life with no strings attached, quickly agreeing to his two rules of "never ask about my past" and "don't expect a future" but of course she quickly let's her heart hope for "more" and oh how I wanted MORE for both of them too
.
If you're thinking of picking this one up let me tell you that it is worth every single emotion you will feel because when all of the broken pieces are put back together it is truly wonderful - you just need to be prepared to embark on the journey to get there. Its not easy, it's broken, it is indeed 𝐔𝐠𝐥𝐲 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞
