Summary
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Verity and It Ends with Us comes a hauntingly seductive tale of love, control, and the devastating secrets that can destroy it all.

When Tate Collins moves in with her brother, the last thing she expects is to collide with Miles Archer, a brooding pilot with an unrelenting grip on his past. Their attraction is electric, undeniable, and all-consuming—but Miles has rules. No questions. No future. A no-strings arrangement seems simple at first, but a deep, shattering truth lurks just beneath the surface.

Tate soon realizes that Miles is not just guarded but fractured. Torn between desire and self-destruction, his pain bleeds into every part of their dynamic. Miles’s past hides horrors that threaten to rip apart the fragile connection they’ve created, and Tate is forced to make a choice that will change both their lives forever.

With suspense simmering underneath every moment of passion, Ugly Love is a whirlwind of lust, heartbreak, and dark revelations that build to a stunning crescendo. For those drawn to the raw tension and psychological complexities of Verity, this is a riveting story where emotions erupt, secrets fester, and love may not be enough to heal the deep scars etched into the past.

I have never before eliminated a book before completion. This was not good writing and really just a verbal porn activity. Looked for the plot. Ugh.

I love this book so much !!

Profile Avatar Sheena H. Jul 2021

One of the few book I've read in a while that I actually wouldn't mind reading again. Hands down one of the best from Hoover. Excellent Finish and resolve and characters you can't help but love.

Profile Avatar Nicole C. May 2022

Loved this book! My one criticism of the narration is the way Deacon Lee said “Rachel”. It drove me WILD and almost made me turn it off to be honest. The enunciation sounded unnatural, and overall I thought the narration made the character sound immature.

Great book!

Really enjoyed this read

Profile Avatar Jacqueline B. Jun 2021

Kept my interest and I shed a tear at the end. Well done!

Profile Avatar Kirsten O. Dec 2023

Was hard to finish. Tate and Miles are annoying. I tried to like it. I also couldn’t stand miles’s narratator say the word Rachel one more time in a row. I guess anything sucks after reading “reminders of you”. Two stars because I love coho so much. But really I’d like to give it just 1.

trauma with a side of romanticizing an emotionally abusive relationship

Omg, the worst book ever. I lost credit for this

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jan 2023

This book was ok. A lot better toward the end. The middle was verbal porn and the narrator for Colin was extremely annoying to listen to.

Profile Avatar KristenLeigh Nov 2022

It was good. Different storyline. Wasn’t not a fan of Miles’ narration and Rachel Rachel Rachel…

Profile Avatar Nancy K. Mar 2022

Very entertaining and fun to listen to. I gave it a 4 star because I thought that the story was a little predictable, although I enjoyed the ending. I also had a hard time with Miles Voice reader. But all in all a fun read that I really enjoyed!

I really liked the female narrator but the male voice made me cringe at times.

Absolutely loved this book from beginning to end.

Profile Avatar Stephanie N. Aug 2024

Not for me. the story was good, but I absolutely could not relate to the characters. maybe it's because it was audio and not in my own mind.

Profile Avatar Judi Jeanotte Mar 2024

I really enjoyed Verity, so maybe my expectations were too high. The plot was engaging, but I'm always turned off by excessive sex scenes. The end was predictable. Narration was great, or I would have given only 2 stars

Worth a listen, good book

Profile Avatar Tammy Z. Aug 2023

Really disliked the voice of both narrators. The female sounded so bland. The male narrator was more painful. He sounded so insanely creepy/cringey. This was an audiobook I severely wish I read in my own head bc the voices really took away. Amazing book otherwise, I loved it. Absolutely loved the ending p

Why did miles narrator say “Rachel” so weird! I couldn’t stop cringing

Profile Avatar Nikkihight May 2023

Best Colleen Hoover book I have read thus far!

Profile Avatar Angelica G. Apr 2023

The male narrator's voice was not at all what it should have been. Definitely took away from the experience, and I wish I would have read it instead of listening to it. The voice of the narrator was weak in comparison to the description. Both characters were desperate, and the repeat of "favorite words" was getting annoying.

Profile Avatar Wendy R. Mar 2023

I really liked this book. It was funny, at some points, made me chuckle. It held my interest. Love is ugly, and breathtaking, and frustrating, and makes you feel like you are on top of the world. At least for a little while.

Profile Avatar Shanna B. Mar 2023

I liked the book overall. Female narrator was good but the male narrator ruined the character for me. He sounded like the male character from the Netflix series, “You,” which just made him creepy. I imagine it would have been better if I had read the paperback version.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Mar 2023

OMG- the writing here was a mix between great, scintillating porn or sappy "make me want to throw up". And how Miles as a narrator said "Rachel?"- I can't believe I listened to almost all of it- but I did! Would not recommend.

Profile Avatar ANALISA A. Mar 2023

It was okay I suppose.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Mar 2023

Such a good book I totally recommend

Profile Avatar Anonymous Feb 2023

The book was amazing! But I did not like the male narrators voice. It just did not fit.

Profile Avatar ~GG~ Feb 2023

Just cringe.. didn’t mind other Colleen Hoover but couldn’t even get half way through this one without giving up. Also character descriptions/ thought patterns in the book was almost the same as her previous books (even though the titles are unrelated)

Profile Avatar Anonymous Feb 2023

Readers were excellent, the story itself was great but not perfect, a little predictable.

Captivating story! Ending had me in happy tears. Romance is not my go to but this was great!

Profile Avatar Ali L. Jan 2023

I tried this book as there are many Colleen Hoover novels around currently. Battled on to chapter 11 but the tedium got the better of me. Absolute banality! Life is too short to waste on bad novels.

Great book! Beautiful story!

Profile Avatar Liz W. Oct 2022

very good book. had me on my toes the whole time

Profile Avatar Maryam P. Oct 2022

I rarely put a book aside before getting all the way through, but this one was really rather rough to listen to. After two hours, I could take no more! The story could have been good but the writing…. Awful! A scene that could have been conveyed in a powerful sentence or two, is dragged on and on with simple, repetitive words. And the narration is almost as bad. The male cadence is flat and clipped. Absolutely no emotion.

Profile Avatar Ellie_reads_a_lot Oct 2022

Interesting read. I wouldn’t recommend it to people who aren’t into erotic romance novels though.

Profile Avatar Marisa E. Sep 2022

The narrators make it hard to picture the characters. They sound and speak alot older than the characters so it’s not believable. It makes it difficult to enjoy. I can’t STAND how Miles say RAY-CHULL.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Sep 2022

Sex, more sex, boring sea. Plot is thin.

Profile Avatar Kati Sep 2022

I loved this book. I felt that she put words to some of the loneliness I have felt after love and not wanting to love. I really liked the book.

Profile Avatar Estefany L. Sep 2022

Was trying to read it on my own. It started way too slow for me ended up just finishing it on the audiobook and it’s a good book just prefer listening to the audio then reading it by myself.

Profile Avatar Melanie M. Aug 2022

Too porn-y, but good background read.

Profile Avatar Sophie K. Aug 2022

One of my favorites by Colleen Hoover (next to Verity)!

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jul 2022

Not my favorite Colleen Hoover book..The narrator Deacon Lee was really hard to listen to, did not fit the character at all, and made the story very cringey. Storyline was a bit predictable and the "love" scenes were getting really old and made up 75% of the book, which screams cheap thrills.

Profile Avatar Sami H. Jul 2022

LOVEEEDD! Literally one of my favorite books by colleen <3

Profile Avatar Sherry H. Jul 2022

Really liked the book but thought I would lose my mind if he said “Rachel” one more time. Other then that great!

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jul 2022

Not for me. Not much of a romance novel kind of woman, so that’s not too surprising. What I thought was almost cringe worthy was listening to the narrator who played miles as a kid make that weird “teenager” voice. It was just weird to be an adult listening to what is supposed to be two teenagers have sex. Just made me cringe.

Profile Avatar Marisa H. Jul 2022

Great book to listen to while going for a hot girl walk. A little predictable but still a great listen.

Profile Avatar Tracie G. Jun 2022

I truly love books by this author. They are always so well written & moving. My only complaint…and it’s a big one…is the raunchy sex scenes. I wish she would tone it down some. Raunchy

Profile Avatar EmilyElisabeth W. Jun 2022

colleen is such a great author and the narrators did an amazing job of capturing the words and moments written

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jun 2022

Disappointing. I wanted to like this book, but can’t. Plot too predictable and moralistic.

Profile Avatar Anonymous May 2022

The repetitiveness in using names in situations and the unnecessary drooling details kept me from finishing this.

Profile Avatar Viridiana A. May 2022

Great book didn’t care for the male narrators voice so much but great book none the less.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Apr 2022

Tate is a very unlikeable character. She is a weak woman who no one reading this would want to relate to. The only interesting parts are the flashbacks to when Miles is younger. First Colleen Hoover I haven’t enjoyed.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Apr 2022

Miles' narrator is unboreable. Kind of creepy step sibling situation. I don't think I will finish this book.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Apr 2022

Great book. I was a little nervous with some of the reviews but definitely worth the listen.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Mar 2022

Well that was time I’ll never get back. Predictable and poorly written. Amateurish. Awful.

Profile Avatar Savannah S. Mar 2022

This book is okay, a little cliche, but the dialogue is SO BAD. It's full of cringy, repetitive sentences that are over dramatized and read like a YA smut novel. What could have been a promising plot was substituted for an overdone "lovemaking conquers all problems" trope. This book isn't all bad, the female narrator is pretty good, but overall this is book is a stretch on reality. The male narrator's voice is really annoying as well.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Feb 2022

The book was a recommendation from a YouTube Influencer, I am so glad I gave it a try because I loved Miles & Tate's story. This was my first novel that I had read from Colleen Hoover but I look forward to reading more.

This book always had me wondering what next and the characters kept it interesting with a heartbreaking romantic twist. I cannot lie ... a few tears were shed.

Profile Avatar Morgan Horton Jun 2016

I love the book but can't stand Miles voice. I wanted him to sound different. Colleen Hoover never disappoints!

Profile Avatar Monica Cobert Mar 2016

I will NEVER forget how the author pronounced the name "Rachel" every time. I hate that name now with a passion. Nice read though, 3.5 stars! Was pretty depressing that's why I rated it so low, however it did teach me a few things about the good parts of love and also the very bad parts of it.

Profile Avatar Samiya Jahan Feb 2016

I'm a sucker for romance and this is the first time I read anything by Colleen Hoover and I loved it. It was so heart wrenching and lovely all at the same time. Not a typical boy meets girl love story but something a lot deeper.. The heartbreak miles goes through at such a young age, and never really gets over. The narrator for tate was good but miles narrator did come across annoying and emotionless. However would recommend this to anyone and everyone.

Profile Avatar Vanessa Carley Dec 2015

I was very hesitant to get this book because the reviews on Goodreads weren't that great. However, my cousin read this book and really likes the author so I took a chance and downloaded the book. I actually really liked it. In fact I listened to it twice! Guess I'm just a sap for love stories, sad, happy... I'll read it. I'm also excited to learn that it's becoming a movie. I truly hope Miles is portrayed well because he's a complicated character. Loved the narrator as well, she made me love Tate.
