Maid in the USA (The Bad Boy Billionaires, #2)

Okay, so at the beginning of the month, I drew 10 random titles out of my TBR (5 physical, 5 kindle) in order to give myself a push to read a wider variety of things, including really old books that I have. Maid in the USA was one of those. I got it free on kindle in 2012, when I went on a crazy one-clicking spur one I found out about kindle and their freebies.

Seven years later, I have finally read it. And to be honest... very underwhelmed lol.

This book demands a lot of suspense of disbelief out of you. First, it expects you to buy into the fact that a billionaire CEO (which, we pretty much NEVER see what he does, so I didn't really buy that either haha) would just look at a girl he doesn't know, have this intuition about her and ask her to be his 4 years old niece's nanny. Like... what? Ooookay. Good thing she isn't a crazy psychopath and your "feel" about her was spot on, I guess.

Then, of course, this woman is just the PERFECT angel. She is sweet, kind, maternal, and virginal. Cue the gagging on the last one.

And, like, the idea of marriage is so quick in this one, and I never even felt we really got to see them fall in love?? Don't TELL me they are falling for each other, for god's sake. Show it to me! The only person I believed they were falling in love with was Kylie, who didn't really read as a four-year-old but what do I know.

Then there is the Villainous neighbor who was just... why are you there? What is your purpose? why are you doing ANYTHING? I don't get you and it was never explored.

The cat phobia thing was absolutely ridiculous and unnecessary. There was actually so much unnecessary stuff in this, which is hilarious because it's so short yet felt so long, and lacked pretty much everything I wanted from it.

From a certain point in time, things were just happening... to happen? To tick boxes? Miscommunication? Check. Near death experience? Check. Dumb separation? Check. A quick and unsatisfying resolution that made no sense? Check.

Also, that Daddy and Mommy scene at the end? GAG. Why? Just... why?

I didn't even realize I had so many negative emotions about this one before writing this review, because it WAS readable and not horrible, just... so darn mediocre and ridiculous. A mindless past-time for when you challenge yourself to read more of your books and don't really find a good enough reason to drop it lol
