Dirty English by Ilsa Madden-Mills
2.0
2.5 stars for me. I feel I’m one of the few who did not care too much for this book.
REASONS I LIKED IT:
• Hot Fighter with a British accent who’s a twin
REASONS I DIDN’T:
• Over use of the British accent/ terms. The twins came to America when they were 10! They’ve lived more than half of their life here. They would NOT still use words like “knobbead, wanker and bollocks. We know they’re British... there’s no need to overuse word pronunciations to get the point across
• The main character, Elizabeth. She was too much of a cry baby and annoying. You don’t go to frat parties because you were raped 2 years ago. Completely understandable but yet when you do finally go to a frat party, you try and have sex with some guy? That’s against your rules? Then you stalk said guy you’ve known for all of twenty minutes?
• The main character, Elizabeth. She tried to put on a tough act and flirt or pick up guys, but it came off as uncomfortable and lame.
• The almost love at first sight. It’s not my thing. I need more build up.
• The reasons why the H/h should stay away from each other. Really? It was very corny and unbelievable.
• The hot, mean fighter opens his heart to you after ONE night of sex only to get his heart broken by the boring girl
The “Didn’t” column was much greater than the “Did”. And I feel I could keep added to the list. I finished the book, I actually did, and it wasn’t BAD per se, it was just very mediocre and unbelievable. Yes, I know it’s fiction, but still...
