Too Late By Colleen Hoover - Starting March 3rd 2019

[Abi]

Sloan will go through hell and back for her little brother. And she does, every single night.

Forced to remain in a relationship with the dangerous and corrupt Asa Jackson, Sloan will do whatever it takes to make sure her brother has what he needs.

Nothing will get in her way.

Nothing except Carter.

Sloan is the only good thing to ever happen to Asa. He knows this and he never plans on letting her go; even if she doesn't approve of his lifestyle. But despite Sloan's disapproval, Asa knows what it takes to get what he wants. He knows what he needs to do to remain on top.

Nothing will get in his way.

Nothing except Carter.

Chapters 1 - 16 done (view spoiler)[I feel so bad for Sloan. Having to stick with that disgusting asshole.

I really liked how Carter and Sloan meet. Their random thoughts are so cute. But I have a feeling Asa knows something , or he's suspicious. I don't want this to be disastrous for Sloan, because she's the one who will get hurt. (hide spoiler)]

lol hey Beatrice!! 👋

[✨ A ✨]

chapters 17 - 28 done (view spoiler)[Asa's chapters are the worst. He's just so despicable. He's views on ‘mother nature’ were disgusting. Ugh it's been a while since I've read about such a horrible person. (hide spoiler)]

[Jacquelyn]

Starting
Well that’s an interesting start.

[Jacquelyn]

End of Chapter 21: (view spoiler)[Oh. Shit. Asa proposed...and of course it wasn’t even sweet or romantic... it was so he can have even more control of Sloan. Great....
I wonder how she’s going to get out of this situation and I wonder what Carter will think. Well, I guess we are about to find out. 😬 (hide spoiler)]

[✨ A ✨]

Chapters 29 - 38 done (view spoiler)[HOLY. SHIT. Those FBI were fake. Damn Asa is a good actor. I did not expect that AT ALL. I'm so scared for Carter and Sloan now. Asa is crazy. (hide spoiler)]

I agree but (view spoiler)[That’s one of the reasons I LOVE Colleen Hoover. I love that she is so good at telling the story of the villain. Even though his mindset is completed effed up, Colleen makes it clear why he thinks that way. (hide spoiler)]

[✨ A ✨]

75% Chapters 39 - epilogue part 2 done. (why the hell are there so many epilogues? and theres a prologue after this, so freaking confusing : /) (view spoiler)[so that was hectic. For second I thought Luke was dead. 😵

When Ryan told them that Asa would most probably not be charged guilty I was as angry as Sloan.

And Asa that cunning ass.... He faked those schitzophrenia symptoms what the hell. That was so messed up but brilliant at the same time.

Not sure how I feel about Sloan and Luke's ‘revenge’ (hide spoiler)]

Hi Azrah! 👋

[Beatrice]

Chapter 11 - 20 (view spoiler)[I don't trust Asa at all. The guy is abusive and I'm sick of him raping Sloan. I'm worried for her well-being. (hide spoiler)]

[Beatrice]

Chapter 21-30 (view spoiler)[DAMN THEY ALMOST GET CAUGHT. That was so close. Asa may have a fucked up childhood, he's still not a redeemable character. (hide spoiler)]

[Janani(ஜனனி)⁷]

Started!

I read the author's note at the beginning. It was said that this is unlike her other books which reminds me the same thing people said for Verity also. I loved Verity. So let's see!

I guess 😂😂

[Janani(ஜனனி)⁷]

Chapter 1-20: (view spoiler)[Okay. Sloan is one hell of a courageous person. Holding everything in for the sake of his brother. So brave, Sloan. ASA IS A PIECE OF SHIT. And why does it always have to be that a sickhead to have a dark past? And Carter, I would like to see how he comoletes the mission. Let's wait and watch(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I agree. He is a piece of shit (hide spoiler)]

[✨ A ✨]

Finished! (view spoiler)[i feel so sorry for the way Asa was treated as a kid. And I know that his parents are at fault for the way he thinks but I'm still so glad he's dead. He would not have rested until Luke and even Sloan ‘paid’ for what they did to him.

I really liked this book. I think Colleen Hoover is really great at writing about villains that are completely messed up.
And all the twists were brilliant.

I listened to the audiobook and I loved that they had three different actors (?) for Sloan, Luke and Asa.

Oh one more thing.. I found it hilarious every time Asa referred to tears as ‘wet shit’ 😂 idkw (hide spoiler)]

[✨ A ✨]

@janani I really loved verity as well!!

THAT ENDING! COMPLETE BONKERS

[Beatrice]

Chapter 31-45 (view spoiler)[what the fuck that set up was shit. is it just me but luke was dumb exposing himself. after reading many romantic suspense, the key is to not blowup your cover until the time is right.

since he's an undercover agent, their head will contact them and monitor their progress. (hide spoiler)]

[izzy]

25%
(view spoiler)[ The house is always noisy and Sloan wants out but she cannot because of her brother medical condition and I think Asa is super using it to his advantage (hide spoiler)]

[izzy]

50%
(view spoiler)[ a lot has happened, Asa breakdown on seeing his father, Sloan and Carter relationship. Sloan finding out who Carter really is and Jon almost bursting them (hide spoiler)]

[izzy]

75%
(view spoiler)[Asa needs mental help but he fails to acknowledge it, The FBI stuff he set up, I guess he suspected all along. He keeps holding on to Sloan because he has never been loved before. Does he have to be so dependent. I guess he never loved himself enough to pull through so he is always depending on Sloan's love. (hide spoiler)]

[izzy]

100%
(view spoiler)[ okay, I think the baby is Asa's . I wished Asa changed (hide spoiler)]

I guess 😂😂"I was being facetious. 😜

[Beatrice]

Finished (view spoiler)[ thank fuck asa is dead. I feel sorry for him but at the same time, nah? He’s better dead. I like it but for a romantic suspense, this is weak. (hide spoiler)]

[Jacquelyn]

(view spoiler)[I 100% agree! Lol
And even though I have a signed physical copy of this book, I listened to the audio as well. I think the narrators were great, in fact, I liked the female narrator’s voice when she voiced the guys parts, more than I did when she spoke in her normal voice. 😂😅 (hide spoiler)]

[✨ A ✨]

@Jacquelyn (view spoiler)[i liked the voice of the narrator who played Asa. Carter's voice I didn't really like (hide spoiler)]

[Jennifer]

Ch 20 (24%) - (view spoiler)[ Geeeeeez! I just can't believe that this is her environment. Thank goodness Carter was there to stop Jon from raping her. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 32 (42%) - (view spoiler)[ This situation just keeps getting worse. Now Asa wants to marry her and knock her up? When I think about this and then remember the title of the book, I can't help but think that Carter won't be able to save her before that happens. Darn it, I think I have the wrong impression of Colleen Hoover books - the first one I read was so sweet, the 2nd was messed up. This one seems to be somewhere in between. What the what?!? (hide spoiler)]

[Jennifer]

Ch 42 (62%) - (view spoiler)[ OMG, killing himself has got to be the best thing he could have done! Why didn't it happen sooner? (hide spoiler)]
Ch 43 (63%) - (view spoiler)[ Holy shit! Why, Luke? Why would you stop him from suicide and leave her all by herself??? Why??? (hide spoiler)]
End of Epilogue (74%) - (view spoiler)[ Will someone just shoot him dead already?!?! He is just going to keep coming and coming. I think justice won't mind in this case. (hide spoiler)]
Finished - Geez, that was one hell of a ride! (view spoiler)[ Finally, Asa is in the ground! Luke accepting the baby was a sweet touch, but hello? They need to test that baby so they know if it might have inherited Asa's mental issues! Luke can still claim him.

That book was messed up! When we got the epilogue at 65%, I thought we were done. Then we got a prologue and another epilogue - that was a little weird, but whatever. The story was clearly not done at 65%. What a ride! I think I am going to be analyzing that storyline for a while. (hide spoiler)]

[Andrea]

Chapter 15 (view spoiler)[ WOW I was not expecting this to be so erotic. I am actually loving the book though and I want to slap Asa so bad for all the hurt he puts Sloan through. I'm rooting for Carter (Luke) to save her before Asa does something to hurt Sloan even more! (hide spoiler)]

[Andrea]

Chapter 36 (view spoiler)[ WOW Of course Asa runs into his deadbeat dad at a casino. Sloan however..... I feel for her but really who risks her life over a guy she didn't even 100% trust and just met not too long ago. Asa would absolutely kill her and her brother without a second thought. I really hope she gets out FAST! (hide spoiler)]

[Andrea]

Epilogue (view spoiler)[ So mixed feelings about the ending so far. Asa is stupid and who know he could act that well to pull off a fake raid! And I cannot believe Luke is alive and was able to physically use a gun to shoot Asa's hand to stop him from shooting himself. That's too lucky, even for him. (hide spoiler)]

[Andrea]

Finished (view spoiler)[ WOW Asa is a psycho. The ending was real good though, I can't believe his confession on messing with the birth control, and Sloan kept her cool! I'm happy she'll no longer have to live in fear. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[even when Asa is a shithead, i couldn't help myself from pitying him. his gf is CHEATING (hide spoiler)]

[Janani(ஜனனி)⁷]

57% - (view spoiler)[i guessed that Asa would be the one to set them up.lol (hide spoiler)]

[Janani(ஜனனி)⁷]

82%-(view spoiler)[i don't think prologue is necessary. And damn, that scene when Asa reakised it was Carter and not harder. I burst out laughing (hide spoiler)]
