- Skip if: friends-with-benefits setups feel contrived to you
About This Audiobook
Tate Collins meets airline pilot Miles Archer under circumstances that make clear from the start that what they are about to do is nothing like what either of them needs. He has two rules: no questions about the past, no expectations about the future. She accepts them because she wants him and tells herself she can handle the limitations. Colleen Hoover's bestselling contemporary romance is built on the gap between what people say they want and what they cannot stop themselves from feeling, moving between the present and Miles's past chapters to reveal what his rules are protecting him from.
Deacon Lee and Grace Grant narrate the dual-timeline structure with sensitivity, Lee taking Miles's past-tense chapters and Grant voicing Tate's present-day sections. The contrast between the two timelines is rendered clearly in their performances, and the emotional revelations in Miles's backstory arrive with genuine force. This Goodreads Choice Award winner for Romance is one of Hoover's most widely read books, and the narration honors its emotional ambitions.
