Well, I broke down and tried a CoHo book. I needed to know what the fuss was about. I wasn’t sure which one to begin with, but Ugly Love was available at the library so started with that one. I was not disappointed.

The pace of the story was really good. It kept me interested and there were few lagging moments in the storyline. 

As far as characters go, I had a love/hate relationship with Miles. I hated how at times he strung Tate along. I hated how closed off he was. I hated what he was putting Tate through. It was frustrating and at times a little cringey. However, I have also not lived through the kind of heartache that Miles had so who am I to judge on his guardedness.

As far as Tate goes, I liked how she was at least self aware of what was going on. I didn’t like how long it took her to stand up for herself. It definitely shouldn’t have lasted as long as it had. 

The chemistry between them was a bit rushed or fast in developing. I liked their witty banter. I kind of wish we had more moments of that, but I know that wasn’t a part of the deal.

If you’re looking for a cozy read with romance and a medium to fast pace, this could be the one for you.

A lot of people recommend this book, but I have no idea why. It was 100% predictable and because the story was too weak to stand on its own, it was filled with soft porn. This is the second of her books I’ve read, and I don’t think I’ll be reading any more of them.
