NOT SORRY
To Sean Burrows,


I am writing to inform you that I would like to apply for the management position. As an assistant, I know I have limited qualifications, but I am loyal and have been an assistant here for almost five years.


I apologize for the initial meeting where I was late in picking you up from the airport, spilled coffee on you, and introduced you incorrectly, among other things. I know I did not make a great first impression, but I need this job. No one should still be an assistant when entering their thirties.


I have attached my résumé. I'm sorry for taking up so much of your valuable time.


Thank you for your consideration,


Olive Porter


P.S. I'm sorry for kissing you on the lips. I really was trying to kiss you on the cheek. I was told you were European, so I was trying to make you comfortable. I was clearly wrong about both.

SAVAGE LOVE
I hate him.
He's made my life a living hell every day since we were five years old. We've been enemies since the day he cut off my pigtails in first grade and I retaliated by drawing on his face with a sharpie.

Our hate of each other grew stronger as we got older. We grew more savage in the way we dealt with each other. We broke bones in fights, sabotaged each other's dates, and ruined any chance each other had at happiness.
We went our separate ways after college. I never thought I'd have to deal with that asshole again.

But I'm out of a job, so when the opportunity to compete for one of the highest profile PR jobs presented itself, I jumped at the chance. Even if it means I'll have to compete with Carter for the job. I'll be more than happy to crush him on the way to my dream job. I'm willing to do anything, savage things, to ensure I win.

There's just one problem. I forgot how much my body betrays me every time I see Carter. Because despite all the horrible things he's done, it doesn't stop me from wanting to do naughty, unthinkable things with him. Will my savage heart be enough to resist his charms?

FINDING PERFECT
I want the perfect man, and Ace Knight isn’t him.
He’s a foul-mouthed, pothead, tattooed bastard.
He may have saved my life, but he also cost me my nursing career with one smug kiss.
Now I’m broke, homeless, and jobless.

I wanted a man in a suit.
Tall, dark, and handsome.
Not broken, cursing, and cynical.

Knight thinks I’m the perfect woman for him.
Perfect to help him keep his ex-wife from inheriting his millions.
I can’t refuse his offer. I need the money.

But what if he expects me to…sleep with him.
I can’t…I won’t…until he smirks and then I’m toast.
I think I need a new plan.

Bad boy + flawed girl does not equal perfect.

This collection includes 3 standalone romances: Not Sorry, Savage Love, & Finding Perfect.

Savage Love
Talk about an emotional roller-coaster. One of my favorite sayings is “the opposite of love isn’t hate, it’s apathy” because hate and love are both passionate responses. This was, and it wasn’t an easy book to read. I was quickly pulled into the story and immersed in their world to the exclusion of everything around me. That made it really easy to gobble up the pages and finish reading it in a single sitting. But there’s a lot of big, ugly emotional baggage that Victoria and Carter have to sort through that makes for some uncomfortable reading. My first reaction was that this reminded me a little of Dating You/Hating You by Christina Lauren. And it does in that it’s an inter-office romance with the hero and heroine fighting for the same job, but then I went back and looked at my review of that one and went: “nope”. This was so much better. I was completely invested in Carter and Victoria. I wanted to see them get their happily-ever-after. And the harder they struck back at one another, the deeper I felt their wounds, the more tears I cried for them.
Not Sorry
I have really mixed emotions about this book. Arrogant jerks don't make good romantic heroes in real life. That's the voice of experience talking. Because of that, I get extremely uncomfortable reading them as the male romantic lead. Sean has made 'arrogant jerk' into an art form and he is so skilled at it that I hated him for pretty much the whole book. I always consider it a rousing success for the author when I have this kind of gut-level reaction to a character. Olive starts the book as the definition of a doormat. I fully sympathize with her people-pleasing tendencies. Sean's bad behavior is good for one thing: it snaps the steel back into Olive's spine and makes her stand up for herself. While I was cringing over his latest jerk-ish antics, I was also laughing at the snappy, sassy banter during their interactions. I loved watching Olive regain her self-confidence. I'll admit I was as confused as Sean during his "a-hah!" moment, but it was a joy to witness him realize just how far he'd come from when he first met Olive in the airport.
Finding Perfect
This story goes a lot deeper and darker than that blurb suggests. On the surface, there really isn’t anything functional about this group of broken souls. Some are broken by circumstance, while others have chosen for themselves to be and stay broken. And yet, for Mila and Knight, there’s some kind of connection that goes beyond their animosity and allows them to function together as if they were almost whole. There are lots of secrets and lies swirling behind the scenes and any one of them could tear apart the house of cards that’s become their lives. Because of all of this, I spent a lot of the book asking: “what the heck is going on here?” and desperately flipping pages to find out the answer. I devoured this story in record time; needing to see what miracle it would take for everything to come right in the end.

NOT SORRY: This is my first book by this author and most definitely won't be my last. From the very first page to the very last page, Ella Miles has written a great romance story with a great storyline, well-developed characters, attraction, unexpected twists and turns, secrets, sassy banter, steamy scenes, and a happily ever after.

SAVAGE LOVE: From the very first page to the very last, Ella Miles has written a fantastic hate-to-love romance story that will grab you hook, line, and sinker from the very beginning. The storyline and interesting and intriguing characters enchanted me and had me reading late into the night.

FINDING PERFECT: A foul-mouthed bad boy, turmoil, great banter, sizzling chemistry, steamy hot scenes... all this and more in this opposites romance story.

I volunteered to review an advance reader copy of this book.

A Fabulous Collection! This enemies to lovers romance collection includes three stand-alones: Savage Love, Not Sorry, and Finding Perfect.


From Savage Love:

Carter And Tory’s Emotional Story Goes Beyond Just Them. It Is About Family, Choices, And Priorities. Perseverance, Commitment, and Sacrifice.

Victoria Grant, twenty-five, cannot seem to catch a break. Three years out of college and she just lost yet another job, despite her stellar performance and long hours. She works in PR in San Francisco and had loved her newest job. And worse, she had just signed the papers on a home and has very little in savings. But it isn’t just her that she worries about. Her older sister Amber and her ten year old niece Sailor depend upon her for support, too. Victoria is the glue in her family, the most stable of her siblings. She hasn’t had a date since college because she has been too busy taking care of everyone else. She and Amber had followed their mother to California when she got married, but their brother Logan remained behind in Charlotte, North Carolina where he works as a bartender. Their alcoholic mother had never been reliable and their childhood had been a difficult one, often with no money for food. Amber had gotten pregnant very young. Logan never wanted to see Victoria make the same mistake. He had always known that she was the smart one, the one with the most potential. But she feels like a complete failure. Her mother suggests that this time around she simply go for it and begin her own PR company. It might even get her a paycheck sooner than going through another lengthy job search.

Carter Woods, twenty-seven, owns a successful PR firm in New York. He specializes in crisis management – only taking on high profile clients. He earned his stellar reputation in the industry through his workaholic ways. The job always comes first. He enjoys women and with his good looks and charm they flock to him. That, and his single-minded determination that guarantees he always gets what he wants in life. He wouldn’t mind having a steady woman, but he hasn’t held out hope. The woman would need to be just as ruthless and career-oriented as him. It would be the only way for it to work. He has come a long way from his difficult childhood. He went into the foster system at age six, but things only got worse after that. His foster dad beat him, so he spent the majority of his childhood at his best friend’s home. Logan had a difficult childhood, too, but at least his mother didn’t beat him or his sisters. Growing up under such difficult circumstances together had created a strong bond. Logan had become a brother to him. Logan’s older sister Amber had become like a sister. Their little sister Tory, though, Carter didn’t quite know what to make of her. He loved to make her angry, and he never missed an opportunity. It was strangely satisfying to see her reactions.

Carter and Victoria’s story is rooted in a shared past, a painful childhood that created incomparable bonds. Carter’s behavior towards Victoria is unforgivable, yet at the same time his story lends sympathy for his plight. Victoria’s childhood was filled with hurtful memories thanks to Carter, and his actions had a long-lasting impact. But they fought together for so many years that their version of hatred for one another had somehow fueled them on to greater things in life. When they cross paths as adults, things become explosive. Their anger-fueled chemistry is intense and deep because it evokes their past. But chemistry isn’t enough to bridge their divide. Their story goes beyond just them. It is about family, choices, and priorities. It is about perseverance, commitment, and sacrifice. It has four tearful moments by my count. The couple eventually earns a happy ending that will sit with you long after story ends.

Carter and Victoria’s emotional story goes beyond the brother’s best friend, enemies to lovers, and fake boyfriend tropes. There are some timing issues that don’t add up perfectly and the number of times Victoria was fired is inconsistent, but overall it is nicely written. The plot is complex. The characters are real and three dimensional. It is easy to fall in love with Carter and Victoria. The story is written in first person. The POV alternates between Carter and Victoria. I rate this book 4.5 stars.


From Not Sorry:

Sean Uses Unconventional Methods When He Trains Olive For A Promotion In This Kooky Romance!

Olive is a hot mess. She has difficulty keeping up with her boyfriend Owen and her job, always overextended and trying to be everything for everyone. It doesn’t earn her any respect, though, because everyone takes her for granted. She has no self-confidence and apologizes for everything. She regularly goes without sleep because she cannot keep up with all her promises. Olive has worked at Parks Real Estate for five years. She knows how to run the office despite her lack of education and no real estate license. She works as the assistant to Jamie Parks, the owner and her best friend. Loyalty has kept her at the job despite her meager earnings, but she holds out hope that she will get the promotion to manager that she has been vying for.

After promising himself never to return to Chicago, Sean Burrows finds himself in the Windy City once again. He couldn’t refuse Jaime, even a year later. He loves her and would do anything for her. And maybe she would take him back in the end. It was a little strange when she sent her kooky assistant to pick him up at the airport instead of coming herself. Olive was oddly attractive, but she wasn’t his type at all. He liked strong, confident women. Women that were more like him. But the idea that he might stay a few days to help Jaimie and be rewarded with a date is promptly dashed when he shows up at Parks Real Estate. Jamie had asked for help, but he had no idea just how much help she needed. She asks him to run her company for her for at least a few months, maybe a year – and she happens to be very much off the market. But their friendship runs deep and Sean would still do anything for Jaimie, even if it appears that her stated purpose for needing his help isn’t the entire truth.

Sean and Olive’s kooky story is about two colorful characters that stumble into love. Sean is a mystery. He is rich, but other than that little is known about him other than the fact that he adores Jaimie and she thinks the world of him despite their breakup. Olive is a bit of a mystery as well. Her one year anniversary with her musician boyfriend Owen approaches and she has high hopes for their future, despite the fact that her friends aren’t convinced he is right for her. But she is loyal to a fault, as evidenced by her mysterious devotion to Jaimie. As Sean and Olive give in to desire, Sean’s character begins to be more defined. Despite his dark side, a vulnerability emerges. Olive retains her kooky character to the end, which helps to bring about a fitting end. The couple earns a happy ending.

Sean uses unconventional methods when he trains Olive for a promotion in this kooky romance. The plot is somewhat complex. There are a few things that don’t exactly add up, but most is somewhat explained eventually. The story is written in first person. The POV alternates between Sean and Olive. I rate this book four stars.


From Finding Perfect:

Knight And Mila's Playful Banter Grabs You And Their Chemistry Keeps You Reading In This Angsty Story!

With carefully crafted schedules and plans, Mila Burns, twenty-two, strives for normal. Safe is good when there is so much heartbreak, tragedy, and loss amidst the chaos. Five years ago was the worst day of her life, though she can't recall much of it. But things are on track now. She plans to finish up her nursing degree at UC Denver next semester and find a nice husband this year. No more bad boys for her. Maybe then she will fit in and be accepted.

Ace Knight, twenty-four, is the founder and CEO of the hugely successful Perfect Match. Tall, dark, handsome, and muscled, he is the vision of a tattooed Greek god. He looks fabulous in his tailored suits, but he likes to ditch them for his leather jacket on occasion, basking in his bad boy ways. His marriage of five years has not faired as well as his business. It is well over; all that remains is for a final agreement. He desperately wants freedom.

When Mila crosses paths with the hugely annoying biker bad boy, she knows he is dangerous to her and works hard to not get caught in his web. But an unshakable connection binds Mila and Knight together and they soon find themselves immersed in one another's lives. They need each other. She needs money. He needs help that only she can provide. They agree to be honest, but both hold secrets in their unspoken words.

Knight and Mila are a memorable couple. Their playful banter contrasts nicely with the dark, serious tone of the book. There is great depth to the the couple's complicated feelings. They are both broken souls. Knight acts the bad boy, but despite his inner conflict, he often exercises great restraint. He is the perfect combination of a CEO and biker! Mila's difficult past makes her a vulnerable figure, yet she shows courage and strength. Trust is a problem as Mila and Knight get to know one another, but their deep connection holds them together even through all the hate. They eventually dredge through their respective tragic pasts, which causes them to shatter. But their chemistry is insane and cannot be denied, so they eventually pick up the pieces. Mila and Knight's beautiful love story will sit with you long afterward. They absolutely deserve their HEA!

The book is mostly well-written with just a handful of errors. The story is mysterious as the past is unraveled. The plot is complex and sometimes heavy. I rate this book 4.5 stars.


Collectively I rate this collection 4.5 stars.

This is a compilation of three stories of people whose hatred for one another drives them to find forgiveness and eventually love for one another.

Savage Love: Carter and Tori have known each other since childhood, Carter being best friends with Tori’s brother Logan. Carter finds great fun in tormenting Tori every chance he gets, even though Tori has secretly been in love with Carter all her life. He hurts her so many times that she learns to hate him. Ten years later, Tori is living in California with her sister, Amber and her niece, Sailor. As they both compete for a PR position to save the career goal of an old classmate, Carter gets Victoria fired from her job. She supports her sister and niece, and is devastated when she loses the best job she has ever held. They both end up getting the job to save Lily’s career, and must learn to work together. However, Lily is Carter’s old high school lover, and things get very complicated.

Not Sorry: Sean is asked by his former heartthrob, Jamie, to come help run her business while she is struggling with a difficult pregnancy. Her assistant, Olive, meets him at the airport, and her appearance is a shock to the always immaculately dressed Sean. Her clothes don’t match and her hair is frizzy and wind blown. Sean is exceedingly rude to Olive, but she puts on a good face until she can be rid of him. She leans in to kiss him on the cheek, European style, but misses and kisses his lips, then spills her coffee in him. He makes a joke about her bumbling ineptitude in front of her coworkers, and Olive decides she hates the man! Sean is hoping to win Jamie’s heart once again, but she is in love with the father of her child and let’s Sean know that he is there only to run her company. She further informs him that Olive is her right hand employee, the smartest woman she knows, and he can put any thoughts of firing her to rest right now, because she will be reporting to Jamie. When a management position opens up, Olive submits her resume to Sean, and he can’t help but chuckle at her introductory letter. What follows is a journey that will make you laugh, cry, and sing for joy!

Finding Perfect: Mila is a woman who thrives on the normal, but today is the five year anniversary of a traumatic event, and she just needs to drive the mountains of Denver to relieve her stress. A motorcyclist is riding her butt the entire time, and when Mila reaches her destination and pulls off the highway, Mr. Motorcycle Man pulls in and parks behind her Suburu. As Mila tells the man that he can’t block her car, he laughs and just starts jogging away from her. Not dressed for hiking, Mila decides she will just do a little hiking anyway in hopes that when she returns, the tattooed biker will be long gone. Mila’s thoughts focus on the fact that she will be graduating college after this semester, and hopes to find a job with the same hospital where she is doing her clinicals. After working for a few years, maybe she will find time to meet someone who is husband-worthy. After reaching the summit, she rests for a while before heading back down the mountain. Her sneakers have no tread and she ends up spraining her ankle during her descent. Along comes Mr. Dark, Dimpled, Tattooed, Muscleman to the rescue, offering Mila help getting back down the mountain, but she absolutely refuses his offer.....until she realizes that she can’t possibly make it down on her own. She reluctantly accepts his offer, but he makes it known that she owes him. He introduces himself as Ace Knight. He helps her to her car, then offers to take her to the hospital. She refuses, so he offers to take her to dinner. In her frustration, Mila shifts into reverse and backs out as quickly as she can.....and runs over Ace’s motorcycle. The war has just begun!

This boxset contains three stories that will turn your heat meter up, make you laugh out loud in places, and tug at the heartstrings as well. These are stories you will not want to miss from a really well-known author. I received this as an ARC and am leaving a voluntary review.
Savage Love
Victoria, Logan, and Amber are siblings that grew up with a shoddy life. Amber had a daughter very young. Logan has a best friend Carter who made Victoria’s life miserable and grew up in foster care. Carter went on to form his company as a fixer. Victoria is in the same line of work but had to give up owning a company to care for her sister and niece instead. She gets fired from her latest job because of layoffs. She goes to see her brother when an old friend’s life is in the tank. Carter shows up as well and it is game on~ the two cannot deny the attraction they feel for one another no more. As things progress, Victoria discovers just how much Carter betrayed her family and her over the years…so she decides to pay him back in spades…only it may cost both of them everything they have worked for and want…will it?
Not Sorry…
Olive is in town to help take over a reality business for his great friend and ex Jamie while she is pregnant and on bed rest. She expects him to work with her best friend and assistant Olive. Things go wrong from the first meeting with these two…things are funny between them but also very steamy. A series of events leads them to where she leaves town and starts over elsewhere…he sets out to find her to keep her…will he find her? Get to keep her?
Finding Perfect
This story is not your typical rich man's young woman romance. Mila is a student who will get her nursing degree in one more month. She is driving on a mountain on the anniversary of something that occurred five years before…but she cannot remember! She does not get along with her siblings and she is a mess. A guy on a motorcycle almost causes her to crash and she stops on a side road. He gets off and takes off jogging. She goes for a hike but hurts her ankle, he saves her and promises they will meet again (after she runs over his motorcycle lol). One night at work their paths cross again but this time he is a patient. He ends up getting her fired and suspended from school and work. Now, he gives her an offer she cannot refuse!! But the stakes are much higher than either realize! His going to be ex is crazier than what people know and wants everything he has and then some. His best friend keeps kissing Mila and Knight keeps giving him black eyes! Mila is staying in Knight’s apartment getting closer to him all the time. But, now time has run out…turns out he knew her somewhat and Abri knows her sister and they both know what happened~ Now Abri is out for revenge~ What will happen? What did happen? Will Abri kill them? Will she gain control of everything? Will Mila and Knight end up together? This is the story of two broken people who are trying to find the perfect person for each of them and life! It is an awesome story with a high heat signature!

Not Sorry
What a great book, I loved it. Olive and Jamie were amazing characters and Sean, OMG! Loved him! This book is fun, sexy and sassy you will not be able to put it down. Olive has been working for Jamie for years and are the best of friends, but when Jamie is put on bed rest she asks an old friend to come in and help Olive and keep her business running. Let’s just say that Sean and Olive are like oil and water, they didn’t mix well together their first meeting, but the instant chemistry was off the charts explosive. Sean being the man he is, offers to take Olive out for drinks and discuss the position she wants within Jamie’s company only to find her now boyfriend with another woman. Things take a turn, they get twisty, it gets emotional, how will Sean come to terms with his growing feelings for Olive when he still has feelings for Jamie? What will Olive think of Sean when she finds out what kind of business he owns? Will she run or will she stay and take a chance?

Savage Love
I loved the love/hate relationship between Carter and Victoria. These two have known each other for years, he’s her brother’s best friend, but he always treated her with content. Now that they are vying for the same PR job, it’s full on war, but are there underlying feelings between them? Is this why Carter treats Victoria the way he does, because her cares about her and is afraid to show it? Such a great book, couldn’t put it down and if you want to know what happens between these two, you need to grab it for yourself.

Finding Perfect
Ace and Mila were the perfect equation. Ace has wreaked chaos in Mila’s life, he’s cocky, arrogant and a pain in the butt and now her career is over and she has nothing. Ace seems to think she can help him keep his money and keep his ex at bay and when he proposes the idea how can she resist? They are so opposite it’s crazy but they always say opposites attract. When something starts off as an agreement and turns into more, how will these two deal with it? Give in or run? Loved this book, highly recommend it!

Emotionally charged collection of 3 steamy novels. All 3 novels, 'Savage Love, Not Sorry, Finding Perfect deal with enemies-to-lovers storylines with interesting, well-described characters and scene-appropriate language. All 3 novels are edited to a good standard and the plot and tension points are well spaced out throughout the novels. Each story represents a unique aspect of the characters' lives There is no overlap or similarity between the individual novels. The second novel, 'Not sorry' I have read before. It is an enjoyable story of a hot romance. that develops between two people, who, initially, certainly lack sympathy for one another. One is a self-assured alpha male Sean, whose business acumen comes from questionable sources, the other is a very poor, total mess of an ambitious assistant Olivia, with a habit to apologise for everything and to everybody. Sean’s feelings are very ambiguous, determined to have sex with Olivia only once, yet can’t stop kissing her and wanting her. Olivia’s attitude is similar, convinced that her feelings vs, her physical needs are totally different. Sean’s desire to bring the strong, self-assured Olivia to the surface to give her ambitions of becoming management material a chance is very well handled. Some of the polarity in their attitude is at times confusing, particularly the shift in Ryan’s emotional attachment from Jamie hasn’t been addressed fully, but the heart wants what the heart wants. The characters are very well developed, and their actions are well justified according to their personalities. The book is very steamy, hot, hot with language to accompany their exploits.
Irrespective of their backgrounds, they find their soul mates in one another and their true love against all odds leads to a HEA, making this a great romantic read. All 3 of the stories are steamy, intense with irrepressible attraction between the protagonists, each leading to their respective HEA. I would gladly recommend this compilation by Ella Miles.

Not worth the time to read or the $.99

Savage Love


What did I like-
The storyline is enemies to lovers. Brother's best friend, childhood enemies. He was mean and spiteful. She was obviously crushing hard.
When they grow up and meet again, they can't seem to turn off the age old behaviors. But this time he can admit he wants her.

It's a good read. The natue of their relationship gets dodgy with their behaviors and choices- so it makes for entertaining reading.

What I wasn’t so thrilled with-

1. To most of you this doesn't matter, so roll your eyes at me and ignore this. To those that are detail oriented and get thrown out of a scene when stuff is off. She is wearing pants when he sticks his hand down them. But seconds later when he's going to give her epic hate s@x, she is miraculously in a skirt.

It pulled me out of the scene, out of the chemistry and made me wonder why!?! I will curb my rant and just leave it there.

2. Their instalove just didn't do it for me. This deep love isn't reflected on the page. I didn’t finish the book with a girly smile and a hopeful gleam. My inner fangirl was like...huh.


This might be my first read of this author, though I have a bunch of her freebie ebooks. I won't be writing her off but I definitely have expectations for future reads.



Not Sorry


Ughhhh! Why did I hope/think there were better proofreaders on this novel!?! So as the second in this enemies to lovers collection it was a quick read that allowed one to check out for a bit. However, the inconsistencies drove me nuts.

The story was okay. I honestly thought Jamie was a terrible friend regardless of her reasons. I wasn't a big fan of Sean always testing Olive. I umderstand his reasons but still its a jerk move. Perhaps if their relationship wasn't ober the course of 3 days there might be some trust. Sigh.

Was the steamy scenes worth the read...meh.


Finding Perfect-

While better than the previous two stories, not enough to redeem them. It was a rushed and discombobulated attempt at a suspenseful romance. While the proofreading was substantially better, the story just wasn't there.

Reading Carter and victorias story was like being taken on the rockies roller coaster out there and I loved every single second of it.
Carter is a stubborn selfish man who only thinks of himself and making his life better.
Victoria is a stubborn very successful women who puts everyone before herself.
The journey these characters go on from both being poor children to being at the top of their game is incredible and heart stopping yet magical. I absolutely loved reading this story and didn't want it to end.

Not sorry

Olive and seans story took me a little to get into i steuggled to connect with the characters at first and felt myself wanting to scream at Sean a little.

But after about a quarter of the way in I loved this story and couldn't put it down.

Olive is a women who has many insecurities and let's them lead her life rather than using it to her advantage. Sean sees that and wants to bring our the confident strong women he knows she can be.

Their story goes in a direction you half se coming but love to read and the ending was brilliant i just wanted to know some more.

Finding perfect.

What can i say i was absolutely gripped with this story from start to finish my heart feels like it has been broken and glued back together too many times throughout this story.

Mila is an incredibly strong beautiful character who blocks out the pain of a night that changed her life.
Knight is an incredible man who feels he is dangerous and pretends with his bad boy image.

I loved both of these characters and the journey they take in finding their love for each other and defeating the demons of their past. I just want to know soo much more.

Olive and sean's story took me a little to get into i struggled to connect with the characters at first and felt myself wanting to scream at Sean a little.

But after about a quarter of the way in I loved this story and couldn't put it down.

Olive is a women who has many insecurities and let's them lead her life rather than using it to her advantage. Sean sees that and wants to bring our the confident strong women he knows she can be.

Their story goes in a direction you half see coming but love to read and the ending was brilliant i just wanted to know some more.

Finding perfect.

What can I say I was absolutely gripped with this story from start to finish my heart feels like it has been broken and glued back together too many times throughout this story.

Mila is an incredibly strong beautiful character who blocks out the pain of a night that changed her life.
Knight is an incredible man who feels he is dangerous and pretends with his bad boy image.

I loved both of these characters and the journey they take in finding their love for each other and defeating the demons of their past. I just want to know soo much more.

Hate me or Love me. This collection of books were intriguing to say the least. I enjoyed each story. They kept me captivated and emotionally involved. These books showed me how revenge can be so devastating and may hurt the people you love. Savage Love turns a childhood friend into an enemy to lovers romance. But at what cost? Carter was Victoria's brother's friend who constantly picked on her and made her life hard. Carter didn't stop as they got older. He continued to terrorize Victoria until he broke her. Not Sorry sends friends into secret relationships and misunderstandings about who loves them. Also, friendships and loyalty are on the line. Olive dedicated her life to a boss that felt she was not good enough to help company when it was in turmoil, but sent for her friend Sean to bail her out. But Sean and Olive developed a enemies to lovers romance. And last but not least, Finding Perfect. We find out how lies, secrets, and deception can ruin people. This book was great! It had so many different twists and turns that will have you captivated. Mila is studying to be a nurse and has one more semester to go. She meets a man in the ER that almost destroys that dream with one little moment. Unbeknownst to Mila this man is from her past but she can't remember and Knight tries to manipulate her into remembering the tragedies that started back when they were in high school and lead to issues in their lives today. This is a must read series!!!!!I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. *** I voluntarily read a Review Copy of this book.

Savage Lover: 3.5 ☆☆☆

Carter and Victoria have known each other since they were kids. He is her older brothers best friend and she has always had a crush on him despite him doing things to hurt her.

Skip ahead ten years and they are both competing for the same job. Its the first time either one has seen each other since high school. They pick back up their hateful antics right away. Even though they are attracted to each other they cannot help but hurt each other over and over.

Sorry Not Sorry: 3.5 ☆☆☆

This was a fast paced office romance. Sean and Olive's first meeting did not get off to a great start. He thought she was a bumbling idiot after she spilled coffee all over him, and was late picking him up, but was still attracted to her.

Olive has been an assistant at the company for almost 10 years, and wants more for her life. So when Sean announces he is promoting someone to Manger, she applies.

This story has pleny of laughs, drama, and sexy times.

Finding Perfect: 4.5 ☆☆☆☆

This was my favorite story of the whole boxset. I absolutely loved Knight and Mila together. Knight was a total jerk most of the time, but he had those tender moments. Mila did not take Knight's crap. He may have been able to get away with being a controlling jerk to his other assistants, but Mila stood up for herself.

They both have a tragic past. This story is full of heartbreak, mistakes, consequences, and so much more.

This boxset has three enemies to lovers stories that has something for everyone. They are full of drama. All three are bad boy billionaires with the women that hate to love them.

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of "HATE ME OR LOVE ME" This was a great collection of enemies to lovers stories full of intense drama, intrigue, angst, secrets, lies, betrayal, hot steamy scenes twists that make for a page turner.
"NOT SORRY" Olive worked for Jamie as her assistant she ask Sean her friend to look after her Real Estate Co. while on Maternity leave. Sean and Olives chemistry is scorching hot but when she finds out what he does for living in Vegas will she leave she has secrets of her own. So much happens in this very enjoyable read.
"SAVAGE LOVE" Carter and Victoria grew up together he was her brother Logan's BF his foster father was abusive so he spent most of his time over at their place playing jokes on poor Victoria. Both Victoria and Carter are trying for the same job as fixer for her friend Lily who's Senator she gets caught in a sex tape and it needs to disappear. Who will get the job their fighting for their chemistry sizzles will they finally act on their feeling's great story you don't want to miss reading.
"FINDING PERFECT" Ace Knight has caused nothing but problems for Mila now she lost her job because of him he's arrogant, cocky and a pain in her *ss. Ace makes her an offer she can't refuse ge thinks she can help him so he doesn't lose his money to his ex-Abri. Ace and Mila are polar opposites but then they say opposites attract their chemistry is intense a great read you will enjoy.
I defintely recommend to get this book with three great enemies to lovers story's you'll thoroughly enjoy.

Hate Me or Love Me - Ella Miles

Savage Love
Enemies to Lovers can really happen. These two are really enemies but also made from the same cloth, even from a young age they picked on each other, not realizing how really much it affected each other. Carter is successful and arrogant, Victoria is successful but struggling. She's had another set back, and it seems like they find her all the time. She makes it work and she knows what is important in life. Carter has not recognized that lesson yet but he soon will. I loved the coffee scene, I loved the napkin scene, I loved the "get out of my bed" scene. The depth of the characters is clearly shown in Ms. Miles writing, and it's well worth the read.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this three book box set


Not Sorry

Interesting Concept - Sean the millionaire, but you don’t know what his career is and it might lose his latest interest, Olive. Problem is, he doesn’t do relationships, so what does he have to worry about. I love his bossiness and Olive plays right into his hands, but then she surprises you and snarks back at him. Loved the connection and atmosphere between them. Totally loved the baking aspect as well.

Finding Perfect

Ace and Mila, connected before, but did not realize how much so. Memories are forgotten, new memories made but what a journey to get there. The author has you guessing from chapter to chapter if it will work out. Really deep and complex characters in this one, and it’s a wild ride for sure.

This collection includes three standalone romances:
1. NOT SORRY
Oh my word, this is one of the sexiest, funniest, romance books I've ever read. If you've read the teaser, you've got a pretty good idea just how klutzy Olive is. Don't let it completely fool you though, there's some real substance to our girl, it just takes a bit for it shines through. Sean Burrows has secrets of his own, but he carries secrets that haven't been shared yet. Ella Miles has taken this storyline and characters, interwoven them with such personalities, charisma, sexual chemistry, and real human emotions to make it an absolute must-read. This one will just brighten anyone's day.

2. SAVAGE LOVE
3. FINDING PERFECT'.
I literally had to think about how I could give this review without giving any spoilers. It's captivating. The storyline flows so well I finished the book before I realized how far I'd read. The characters are flawed and broken yet oh, so relatable. The plot? Hmmm, the plot takes twists and turns throughout but it's always alluded to and yet, there is a HUGE mystery surrounding things. This was a great read.

I've given you reviews of two of the three books in this collection, leaving "Savage Love" for you to have an unbiased read. These are all outstanding books with great storylines, plots that take twists and turns, and characters that will take your breath away. I wholeheartedly recommend this collection.

Review of “Not Sorry“

Ms Ella Miles is becoming one of my favorite authors. This is a wonderful "Enemies to Lovers Romance Collection". All three stories are well done. I'm focusing this review on the story I enjoyed the most: "Not Sorry," This is the very humorous, steamy, coming of age, Billionaire-Assistant, failure to communicate, hate to love story of Sean and Olive. Our Heroine, Olive, is a sweet, clumsy, lovable screw up, with very little confidence. Sean is a sexy., successful businessman and "wanna be jerk" who puts on the jerky exterior to hide from people so he’s not hurt. Throughout this story, I got the yummy opportunity to follow them as they grew as individuals, overcoming wacky twists and turns to reach their HEA. I ended up late for work so I could finish reading it. I'm NOT SORRY that I was late!!! I will continue to be a fan of Ms Miles.

An interesting collection of stories all a bit different.

Savage Love made me dislike Carter, our H, immensely especially the way he treated Victoria in their younger years. Definitely a love/hate thing going on there. Carter took off to escape his family & make something of himself. However they both end up vying for the same client. Do we forgive the ones we love?

I enjoyed Not Sorry more,the tale of the enigmatic, mystery man Sean & the unassuming Olive, who works in the business he is looking after for a friend. Well Sean had an interesting sideline for work!

Finding Perfect is the tale of Mila & Knight. Their past both haunt these 2 & is possibly entwined in this story. The build up with this hooks you into the story & it is quite a surprise at the end.

Overall a good collection of stories in this genre.

Three amazing reads.

Savage Love is Flaming Hot🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥! A great story on enemies to lovers. Victoria and Carter’s story pulls at your heartstrings with all the things they went through in their life. Their ending is beautiful.

Not Sorry pulled me from the first word till the last. Ella Miles hit this one out the park. I love how Sean showed Olive his true self and let her decide if she wanted to take their relationship further. Love all the twist and turns in this book.

Finding Perfect was a book I enjoyed reading. I loved the two characters and how their lives intertwined with each other’s.
Favorite quote: ~ “We aren’t a perfect couple. We are broken and tragic. Our lives have always intertwined, but we were never headed toward a happily ever after together. But now might be that time.”

This is a good value collection for anyone who enjoys this author.

Savage love:
This book was my favourite out of the collection, I couldn't put it down. Fantastic storyline that was fun to read, but emotional at times as well.

Not sorry:
I enjoyed this book, which was fun to read with a interesting storyline. I thought Olive was great, but didn't really like Sean at first. There were a couple of minor inconsistencies, and I thought they moved from hating each other to loving each other very quickly. But as a light, easy to read book, it was enjoyable.

Finding perfect:
OK enjoyable book which had a unusual, imaginative and different storyline that intrigued you and kept you reading. It's not my favourite writing by this author and I didn't connect or like the character of Mila, she's certainly not my favourite character by this author. Didn't really like the ending either.

Perfectly savage with no apologies
Hate Me or Love Me by Ella Miles is a three book boxset of some great enemies to lovers romances. This is Ella Miles's niche. She absolutely writes great stories about that blurred, fine line between love and hate as both are extremely strong emotions that drive the heart.
All of the characters in each book were highly engaging and drew me in as much as their stories did. There's just something about a good enemies to lovers romance that just makes the HEA all the more satisfying! You get three for the price of one here.
Overall, enjoyable, entertaining, frustrating and satisfying all in one.

4.5 Stars! This is a great collection of enemies to lover books all in one book! There is a good mix of drama, intrigue, humor and of course, lots of steam. The collection includes:
Not Sorry: This is an office romance. When they first meet Sean and Olive are like water and oil, they don’t mix well. There is a good plot twist.

Finding Perfect: This is an entertaining story with strong chemistry between the main characters. I enjoyed this story immensely.

Savage Love: This is an enemies to lovers story with a good helping of drama and steam along with some really entertaining and strong characters.

This collection is an easy one-click to recommend. I voluntarily wrote this review from reading an advanced copy of this book.

Do you hate me or do you love me...or is it both?

Hate Me or Love Me: An Enemies to Lovers Romance Collection by Ella Miles contains three books Savage Love, Not Sorry and Finding Perfect. I had already bought and read two of these books so I was looking forward to reading Savage Love when I picked this collection up. This collection is a bit mixed for me, as happens with a lot of box sets. But overall I thought the collection was well written, the story-lines interesting and the characters nicely developed. I have read a lot of books by Ella Miles and she has become a "don't think just click" author for me.

I received a copy of this collection for my honest review. I did purchase two of the books for my personal library. My opinions are all my own.

Three separate "Enemy to Lovers," stories in this collection,none of which end in a cliff-hanger!
by sewsummore

There were three separate stories in this collection with a recuring theme of "Enemies to Lovers." However, Ella's books always contain surprising twists that shock the reader and this collection is no exception. Ella is a wonderful story-teller who creates stories that suck you in with characters that are believable, and have happy endings. This author is one of my favorite authors! The collection was a joy to read and I enjoyed that each story was complete instead of ending in a cliffhanger like my more recently read books by this author.

I love this box set! It offers something for everyone. Yes it is a fake relations book but it really hits the nail on the head. Elle has done a remarkable job picking these stories for this set. I think my favorite story was Savage Love. It was an incredible journey for these characters. My least favorite was Not Sorry but it is an incredible read. On a scale from 1 to 10 it easily is an 8. Finding Perfect I think for me was a really good read for me. All in all Elle wrote 3 remarkable books that need to be enjoyed and savored.

Hate Me or Love Me is not your typical box set. This collection of enemies to lovers has such varied stories. Take Savage Love, not my favorite, but a shared past that is rooted in betrayal leads to an explosive reunion as adults. This is a story about overcoming the past and creating a better future. The next story is Not Sorry. This is a kooky romance that has a complex story that in the end is fitting. The last story: Finding Perfect was my favorite. This is a dark romance that brings two broken people together and they are able to heal each other. Overall this was a good collection and will have a story for everyone.

This box set by Ella Miles is a enemies to lovers selection and all standalone books. Each book is about a different couple and everything that they have to go through to get a happy ending. I have read all these books when they were released individually but I could've wait to read them again and once again I loved them. Each book is a real page turner and so addictive and I can't get enough of Ella Miles books and I have read them all as she is an amazing author and writer and her books are definitely worth reading.

This is an amazing collection which includes, "Not Sorry", "Savage Love", and "Finding Perfect." The characters are amazing in all 3 books, with them being enemies before becomes more. I can't pick my favorites as they are all great stories. You may have an idea of what someone is like looking from the outside in, but once you get to know someone, minds are changed. These men and women are very consumed with the other. I highly recommend this collection. I did receive an arc for an honest review.
