A review by jules122
Maid for Love by Marie Force

1.0

I feel bad writing this review because after all the book was free. But it got on my last nerve.

This book was completely unrealistic. The couple meets because Mac ran into Maddy with his bike, injuring her. A few hours later, he's moved into her apartment, taking care of her son, taking over her job etc. Within 2 days they're discussing marriage.

Maddy's a complete doormat who does nothing to actually improve her life. I don't mind a Cinderella story, but if it's placed in the present day, some initiative on the part of the "heroine" would be nice. Maddy was labeled a slut in high school. 10 years later, she's living in the same town, hearing the same insults, and just accepts being treated terribly.

Spoiler

she has a son with a rich man, but won't tell the father. Instead she lives hand to mouth and works 2 jobs, one of which is as a maid. And in the maid job, she gets all the bad rooms to clean. Because of her reputation in high school. No thought of leaving town, seeking child support, anything to improve her existence. Then she meets Mac, and he plans out her whole life, without any consultation with her, and she's just thrilled. Have some self respect.

Between the slut shaming and the "heroine" who takes zero initiative to improve her own life, this was a really angering read.
