A review by ajsgbf
For the Love of English by A.M. Hargrove
2.0
The only reason I finished reading this book was that I didn't have anything better to read. While there was nothing outwardly wrong with this book I thought the storyline wasn't sufficiently meaty and the female protagonist got with her love interest without any major issues. The author made their story way too easy even though he was a single father in a custody battle. Also, the female protagonist's use of abusive language was an incredibly lame attempt at making her character seem "cute". This interspersed with the author's decision to call the child "munchkindoodle" every chance she got, got on my nerves. The final nail in the coffin was the fact that the author had her characters dispose of a condom by flushing it down the drain. This, in my mind, is a cardinal sin as it is capable of destroying not just your plumbing but your neighbours' as well. While there are several more problematic plots that authors convey in romance novels and I am on occasion willing to overlook them for the overall story, this was a minor detail I didn't appreciate as it could encourage readers to do the same and lead to adverse consequences.
Again, not as bad a book as my 2 stars might convey and nothing wrong with it on the surface. It just wasn't the best novel under this genre or trope for me.
