Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover is a raw, emotionally charged romance that delves into the complexities of love, loss, and desire. A Goodreads Choice Award nominee for Readers’ Favourite Romance in 2014, this contemporary novel follows Tate Collins and Miles Archer, an airline pilot carrying scars from a past he refuses to reveal. When the two meet, it’s not love at first sight—but an intense, undeniable attraction leads to an arrangement based solely on physical connection, free of emotional entanglements.
With strict rules in place—never ask about the past, and don’t expect a future—their situation seems simple, but hearts rarely follow rules. Hoover masterfully unravels Miles’s tragic history alongside their growing bond, delivering a dual-timeline narrative filled with vulnerability, heartbreak, and healing. Known for her emotionally driven storytelling, Hoover captures the messy, unpredictable side of love that is anything but perfect.
A compelling read for fans of contemporary romance and emotionally layered characters, Ugly Love is ideal for readers who enjoy poignant, complicated love stories that stay with you long after the final page.
