I found myself absolutely drawn to this book in a way I haven't been for a while. I was trying to read even a couple of pages on my phone every opportunity I had, five minute toilet breaks from work, I was so hooked! The two timelines syncing up and drawing to a climax in conjunction with one another made the story so gripping and I absolutely didn't want it to end. I feel that I felt every emotion throughout my reading experience and has quickly become one of those stories I feel sad I won't be able to experience for the first time again.

Like a hallmark movie in book form, predictable yet somewhat entertaining. The writing style leaves lots to be desired.

I thought this book was better than the ones I have read recently. I liked the mix of character personalities and the switch from past to present as you learn more about Miles’ past. This book kind of reminded me of “It Ends with Us” in a way. The cheesy inside jokes between the two characters, and the sad side-plot. I definitely predicted what happened to Miles’ but I liked the ending. It was cheesy, but still was good enough to hold my attention and make me finish 200 pages in a day. Not 5 stars, but still good.

When Tate Collins moves in with her brother Corbin, the first person she meets is Miles Archer. Let's just say he doesn't make a good impression... But with time a strong attraction develops between them, and they make an arrangement. Miles isn't interested in love and Tate doesn't have time for love, so sex without any emotional ties should suit them fine. As long as Tate doesn't break Miles' two rules:
Never ask about the past.
Don't expect a future.
That should be easy, right?
WOW! Talk about an emotional roller coaster! I've been gasping, gritting my teeth and often had a silly smile on my face. I've been sighing (in a positive way) over the tender sex scenes, and closed my eyes before the grief (like that would help). I don't think I've ever been as captured by a book without any real story line; it's the characters that afflict you.
The book changes between now and then (6 years earlier), and between Tate's and Miles' perspective. Slowly we get to know what happened to Miles 6 years ago, and why he hasn't had a relationship since - and doesn't plan to ever have one. Without revealing too much I can only say that it's pretty brutal - and heartwrenching. I'll definitely remember Tate and Miles for a long time!
