Synopsis:
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.
The Review:
I`ll try my best to deliver this review without any spoilers.
I heard about this book from a friend. So I decided to read it but when I read the synopsis on goodreads.com I began to have second thoughts. My friend said it's not that bad and since I`m not that young, the book is okay for me. So I downloaded it and started reading it.
Miles is a pilot just like Tate's brother Corbin and he lives across the hall being their immediate neighbor. Miles has a troubled past which only his friend Ian knows about since they are childhood friends. The author writes book with the first chapter talking about the present and the next talking about Miles past-six years ago. It goes on like this until chapter 28 or so. There is a chapter written from Miles's point of view (which made me really happy) and this happened to be one of the chapters with a surprising revelation. There is also a chapter from Rachel's point of view. Better not read that until you reach there.
The agreement between Miles and Tate might make you think of Miles in the worst possible way-but trust me it gets better here and there and then to ruin that little crush the readers have on him, comes a heart breaking story about his past and why his heart is so hard.
Tate is a 23-year-old woman who is studying and working as a nurse. She feels this strong pull towards Miles every time he is around and so she agrees to his rules. Tate, being herself, can't stop what she feels for Miles but is left disappointed knowing that he will never feel the same about her. Yet, she has this little hope that if she continues doing what he wants and giving him what he needs, he might change. His heart might change.
Corbin is another important person I just had to write about. He is Tate's protective brother and never allows his friends to screw with her (sorry, for using that word). So readers definitely have a something to look forward to as in- Will Corbin find out? Will they tell him? Will he catch them in the act? How will he react? Will he stop being friends with Miles or kick Tate out? Or will he just let it go?
Dillon and Ian are pilots as well and friends with Miles and Corbin. Dillon is a married man, yet he tries to get Tate's attention. Ian is the nice guy in the whole book. (That's not a spoiler, is it?)
There is one character in the whole book who lightens everything. Cap. He is the old man, working in the apartment complex, in charge of the elevator. He is old, fun loving and a good adviser and a good listener. If you don't fall in love with Miles or Corbin (Tate's brother) , you will really really like Cap- the eighty- year-old.
I already feel like I`m giving a lot away. But I can't stop. When I was reading the book, I didn't like it much, but I`m really sad that it's over. I won't tell you how it ends, but I will say this, TAKE IT SLOW. Read the book as slowly as you can. You don't wanna regret reading it in a day and then write a review feeling bad about finishing the book so fast and thinking it kinda sucked because there was so much of intimacy. But it doesn't matter now. I think I`m going to read the book again and I`m not skipping any parts.
These were my reactions every time I reached the chapters when Tate and Miles 'did it'.
The first time - Wow! okay.....this is a lot of detail.
Other times - Again? Okay, well, that was the deal. But the book will get better.
The rain = the car = 'you know what'. And so on.
Apart from all this you will be really curious to find out what terrible thing happened in Miles past that made him too scared to fall in love again. You will feel sorry for Tate here and there, since let's face it, she is actually being used, His rules really bugged me. Also he only texts when he is home and at night. Poor girl. But she brought this upon herself.
The Movie -
The movie is completed and the teaser is out! I request you not to compare it with 50 shades....until and unless you have read the book. Here is the link and the movie poster of Miles. It's not official yet.

My Favorite Lines/ Quotes :
“Love isn't always pretty. Sometimes you spend all your time hoping it'll eventually be something different. Something better. Then, before you know it, you're back to square one, and you lost your heart somewhere along the way.”
God gives us the ugliness so we don’t take the beautiful things in life for granted
Sometimes not speaking says more than all the words in the world.
Ugly love becomes you. Consumes you. Makes you hate it all. Makes you realize that all the beautiful parts aren't even worth it. Without the beautiful, you'll never risk feeling the ugly. So you give it all up. You give it all up. You never want love again, no matter what kind it is, because no type of love will ever be worth living through the ugly love again.”
“It's the beautiful moments like this that make up for the ugly love
I suppose if a man lived through the ugliest side of love, he might never want to experience it again.”
If I were capable of loving someone . . . it would be you.
And many more.
BUY THE BOOK OR READ IT ONLINE, BUT READ IT ! IT'S A GOOD STORY.
X HAPPY READING FOLKS ! X
