    About this audiobook

    From Colleen Hoover, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Starts with Us and 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.

      The Myles narrator ruined this whole book for me. His voice made Myles seem so creepy and I genuinely couldn’t finish the book because of this. Too bad because I was enjoying it and the narrator of Tate did a great job but just couldn’t get past the voice of Myles.

      The audiobook narration was good. I listen to a lot. The voice of Mike however was entirely annoying!! The way he said “Rachel” was so annoying. I like Colleen’s books very much. They are an enjoyable read (“listen”). I just think they need to find better actors!

      I usually love Coleen Hoover’s stories but this one was not my favorite. The male voice was very dorky sounding and kind of drove me crazy so I don’t know if that just ruined the story for me.

      "Oh, God Rachel." The most emotionally gripping line from any book I've read within the last decade. This book was amazing. Heartwrenching. Steamy. Tear inducing. But overall a wonderful journey. Would recommend. But also, have tissue and a glass of wine (or bottle) ready.

      Love Colleen Hoover, but did NOT love this book. Actually found it to be quite annoying at times. Backstory could have been great, except that it wasn’t talked about much. 75% of the book was centered around their sex, and only 25% backstory. And the number of times the name Rachel is used makes me have a new dislike for the name altogether now.

      The slow burn romance, the tragic story that is Myles is so relatable. Maybe it’s the eerily similar emotions from my personal life but this was a well written and beautiful story

      This book maybe better if I read it instead of listening to it. The voice of miles was horrible and cringey

      Nope. I’m sorry but I’m so disappointed with that ending. It started being at least more “realistic”, but such a happy ever after ending when they had such a toxic relationship during the whole book? Bullshit

      I loved the story but my mind immediately thought it would be sinister based on Miles voice. It really felt creepy and the way he said "Rachel" made my skin crawl. I was wrong, of course, but his voice was just... wrong for Miles.

      Am I the only one who cares for my romance novels to be the least bit realistic?

      I was ok until they started making out in the middle of a department store and every time he touches her she forgets how to breathe. Very “Twilight” to me.

      Miles loves making rules. Then literally breaking then twelve seconds later. Too predictable. They didn’t even try. Rolling my eyes.

      I’m ok without the pseudo-incest, too. Just done.

      Haven’t even finished the book yet, but omg the narrator for Miles is pretty much ruining it for me. He sounds like the main character from “You”, he just makes him seem creepy. “Rachel, Rachel, Rachel”, I literally cringed hearing his voice at times ?
      Second Colleen Hoover book that everyone seems to just ‘love’ and honestly not understanding the hype!

      If I can stop being annoyed by the way the Miles says “rachel,” I might like this book but I cannot hardly listen to it anymore without wanting to rip my headphones out

      Definitely not one of my favorites. Repetitive, monotonous, frustrating and sappy.

      There was much potential throughout the book but the awkward and unnecessary spicy scenes took away from the actual emotions of the book.

      1 star review on this AUDIO book because the male narrator (miles voice) did a freaking horrible job omg I had to stop at chapter 3 and finished the ebook instead. The book is a solid 5/5 for me but this guys voice is going into my list of who I don’t want to hear audio books by.

      The story was good. Not amazing like I was expecting after so much hype about Colleen Hoover, but decent enough to give her another try. The voice actor that read Miles though drove me nuts. He may have just ruined the name Rachel for me. I hated it so much I downloaded the book and read the Miles chapters between listening to the Tate chapters. I’ll avoid anything with him in the future.

      The book was decent, would’ve been a bit better if it went into Miles present day perspective sooner instead of dragging it out and also based on the description of Miles in the book I didn’t like the narrator voice for Miles, I literally only kept listening for Tate’s narrator.
    • 3/5
      I red the book first and i loved it, know i listen to it,but it's hard because i hate Miles voice. Make a redo with a different voice.
