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.
I didn’t know what to expect when I started reading this
book. I had heard a lot of talk about it around the internet, and the general
consensus seemed to be that it was well liked. I don’t think anything could
have prepared me for the rollercoaster that was this novel though.
First of all, Tate was a very likable protagonist. I thought
she had a good personality and she made me laugh quite a few times.
Miles was an interesting co-protagonist. He was a very big
mystery through most of the novel. That kept my attention, and I just had to
finish the book to figure out why he was the way he was.
The way this book was written also kept it exciting. It switched
back and forth from Tate’s point-of-view to Miles’s point-of-view.
Tate’s sections were in the present while Miles’s sections
covered the past and slowly revealed how his character came to be. Learning
about him slowly throughout the book made the story even stronger.
The story itself was also interesting to me. It was a cute
romance book, but it was also deeper than that. Miles dealt with a lot of pain
to get to this point. Suffering from abuse and a broken heart.
Then on the other hand, there was Tate. She seemed like she
had a pretty decent life and Miles completely threw her off. I was rooting for
them from the beginning.
Once I really got going with the book, I could not put it
down for anything. I just had to get to the end and nothing else seemed as
important. It has a way of really drawing you in and not letting go until you
turn the last page.
I would be lying if I said I didn’t cry.
5/5 Stars
