The instant #1 New York Times and USA Today bestseller, a story about a woman caught in a dangerous web of obsessive love, trying to find a way out before it’s too late… this new, updated edition is a “barn-burner” (New York Post) and Colleen Hoover’s darkest romantic thriller since Verity.

Sloan will go through hell and back for those she loves. And she does so, every single day. Caught up with the alluring Asa Jackson, a notorious drug trafficker, Sloan has finally found a lifeline to cling to, even if it’s meant compromising her morals. She was in dire straits trying to pay for her brother’s care until she met Asa. But as Sloan became emotionally and economically reliant on him, he in turn developed a disturbing obsession with her—one that becomes increasingly dangerous every day.

When undercover DEA agent Carter enters the picture, Sloan’s surprised to feel an immediate attraction between them, despite knowing that if Asa finds out, he will kill him. And Asa has always been a step ahead of everyone in his life, including Sloan. No one has ever gotten in his way.

No one except Carter.

Together, Sloan and Carter must find a way out before it’s too late…

Solid standalone if you’re looking for a break from series
Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2025
Verified Purchase
This was a well-written, good (not great) standalone that I’m happy to have found during my reading slump. The main character is likable and doesn’t over-victimize herself, she can see her mistakes and own them — I appreciate that, especially in the world of overly whiny and entitled heroines.

I did feel the climax came a bit soon and the ending was drawn out. There was a “yo-yo” effect of the MC becoming safe and then being in danger again. I prefer a quick ending after the peak of a story. That being said, I thought the epilogue was beautiful and made up for the long wrap up.

**Spoiler Alert**
My heart hurt for Asa, the villain in this story. I have children of my own and the scenes describing his abuse, and the lack of love shown to him, humanized his character. He was irredeemable by the end of this story, but I wanted so bad for him to get help, own his mistakes, and be given a second chance.
**End spoilers**

Overall I would definitely recommend this book for someone who is looking for a one-off, change up from their usual reading material. Colleen Hoover is a very skilled writer and I’m never disappointed with her work.

So frustrating
Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2025

Threw will be spoilers

This book was a good read but incredibly infuriating. Carter/Luke is the dumbest character ever written. This is not an exaggeration. Everything he does is the stupidest thing he could do in a that situation. The author puts poor Sloane through the ringer. She is SA'd several times by multiple people and even has to give with knowing that Asa is her baby's father. The author couldn't even give her that tiny ray of light at the end and make Luke the baby daddy. What's really infuriating though is that even with everything that Asa puts her through she still wants him the moment he shows her any compassion. She responds to him with urgency at any tiny semblance of being treated well. Which is why the more you read you realize this isn't a love story between Sloane and Carter/ Luke, it's a love story between Sloane and Asa. I've read 3 books by Colleen Hoover and for some reason she is obsessed with painting the abuser as a sympathetic figure. Asa is the most fleshed out character in this book. He's by far the smartest character and is superior to Carter/Luke in every way.

Now this isn't as important as everything else but the undercover aspect od this book was laughably bad. Carter never does one second of police work. He never investigates anything. He never does any work for Asa. All of his time is spent trying to get into Sloane's pant and therefore putting both their lives in danger every chance he gets and jeopardizing the work of whatever cops are actually doing work on the case. It's hilarious that she doesn't even attempt to do anything with that plot.

Ultimately I enjoyed this book but I just felt terrible for Sloane. The part about the baby being Asa's was just unnecessary cruelty.

Reading this book as a survivor of these kids of relationships it made me cringe. I was sick to my stomach most of the reading, but I kept going. I can relate to Sloans character on many levels, and I wonder if my past Asa’s can relate to his? I’ve been thinking about how many people on the world really believe they can possess another human like property. This book has opened up some wounds but the ending is one I would love to imagine one day being my reality (minus the kid, don’t need another of those lol). I’m thankful, this was a great read! Colleen never ceases to have me at the edge of whatever seat I’m sitting on while reading. Highly recommend, if you can handle it! :)

Thus one definitely pulled at my heart strings. The emotional roller coaster was enjoyable and beautiful but also traumatic. My new favorite characters from cohort are Luke and Sloan. This is a good easy read that may not be suitable for someone with traumatic triggers but a heartfelt story that portrays that love is not always kind and love can be very complicated with someone who has mental issues or traumatic childhood memories but beautiful live can always be found if you are willing to change your fate.

On the edge of your seat!
Reviewed in Canada on April 29, 2017

I've had Too Late sitting on my Kindle for several months. Truthfully I was scared to read it beacuse 1. it's a CoHo book, whom I love. 2. I've heard so much about how it's so very much out of her wheelhouse. 3. I knew I would read it far too fast and wish it was still there waiting for me to read.

Yes this is very much out of CH wheelhouse & in fact many times as I was reading it I had to remind myself that this was indeed a CoHo book. With that being said this book just sucks you in, depriving you of all other thought, just making you think about when you'll be able to get back to it after you put it down.

This book is dark, raw, edgy. But it still has a romance element that is very strong throughout. The characters were so developed and complex. The plot so very intriguing. A very well rounded storyline that should make readers happy at the end.

I highlighted many favorite quotes from this book but this one really stuck with me.

"And this kiss is just the beginning of a whole new book. A book where maybe miracles aren’t that far-fetched."

W.O.W.!!!!!!! This book left me absolutely speechless and in awe of Colleen Hoover's writing prowess!! TOO LATE was UNPUTADOWNABLE !!! I switched between the audiobook and ebook as I couldn't get enough! This was a truly unique story that was action packed, fast paced, gritty and unpredictable! I could see this book being made into a movie! What can I say about the characters ?! I have to admit I kinda felt sorry for Asa - this guy was smart and conniving yet in his own twisted way, I felt that he did love Sloan. And I loved the chemistry between Sloan and Carter/Luke. I loved Ms. Hoover's writing in this book - it was witty, packed full of lines which had me chuckling especially Asa's chapters!! I didn't want this book to end!!!!!

The audio was fantastic - the narrator for Asa had the perfect creepy voice that gave me shivers whenever he came on!!

Fiquei surpresa!!! Não esperava gostar tanto desse livro!!! É pesadíssimo e difícil de ler, mas é muito bem escrito e os abusos são retratados de maneira cirúrgica!! Ao contrário de muitos outros livros da Colleen, aqui as problemáticas são retratadas, mas não são romantizadas! O vilão em nenhum momento gera sentimentos de empatia no leitor! E eu agradeço muito a autora por ter feito essa retratação da maneira correta!! Um excelente livro!!
