Review:
I read this as a free e-book download through my Amazon Prime membership. While I applaud the author for self-publishing and writing a novel, this book was a little bit of a disappointment. While Maid for Me isn't the worst book that I have ever read, it definitely needed a lot of work. The point of view between characters sometimes changed within the next paragraph or even to a different set of characters who were not even in the current setting. Near the climax of the story, the point of view changed so frequently that it ruined the whole pacing and took me away from the suspense. While I thought it was a cute, spunky read that would definitely appeal to fans of Japanese dramas and Korean dramas, or even anime and manga; it has little going for it outside of that. There could have been a little more character development with all the characters of the book, as I often felt I was just reading the story instead of 'being there'.

2/5
