A sweet, sexy, heartfelt, and totally adorable love story!!!!! A.M. Hargrove has me under the rainbow and smiling BIG!!! Seriously, this book was just what I needed. It was light, sexy, and still packed that innocent emotional punch to make your hearts flutter. What is there not to love when you have a sexy protective single father only wanting the best for his baby girl? Right.. And may I just say, no one can resist the charms of his adorable daughter, English!!!
“The thing is, this is pressuring her, and a large part of me feels terrible about it. But that part is outweighed by my love for English. Make no mistake. I will do anything for my daughter. Anything.”Beckley Bridges was a typical 19 year old college student who was living it up and didn’t have anything to worry about that is until he got an unexpected surprise when he came back home to see a baby along with a letter informing him that English Beckley Bridges is indeed his daughter. The letter also informs Beckley that English’s mother just couldn’t raise her on her own so she is surrendering all parental rights to Beckley. Now fast forward to six years later, Beckley is a single father dedicating his life to his baby girl. His English has her little fingers wrapped around his heart. There is nothing that Beckley wouldn’t do for his baby girl. If he could give her the world, he would most certainly do just that.
English Bridges is the sweetest, smartest, carefree, and bright eyed six year old girl that you will ever meet. Right off the opening pages, your heart will belong to English. Trust me, you will want to give this little girl a big fat hug and so it was inevitable for her first grade teacher to not feel the same way about this adorable girl.
“Having English with us is one of those things I will hold close to my heart and not take for granted. She didn’t ask to come into this world the way she did, and she certainly didn’t ask for this upcoming battle that is about to take place over her. My silent vow to her, as she lies next to me, is to protect her at all cost, no matter what.”Sheridan is a recent college graduate who landed her first teaching job. She loves teaching and was super excited to begin her career. Right off meeting English, Sheridan was in love with her. This little girl didn’t need much to fill Sheridan’s heart with so much love. So when Sheridan meets English’s dad, she is shocked to learn that he is kind of an arrogant rude man. They didn’t get the best impression of each other and so when she runs into Beckley, and he helps her out, she begins to see him in a whole new light.
Beckley doesn’t date and doesn’t have time to do relationships since his life is centered on his daughter and work but there is something about Sheridan that intrigues him. Soon, he finds himself forming a friendship with Sheridan and spending more time with her. He loves the fact that Sheridan loves being with his daughter. But when English’s mother sends Beckley court documents requesting custody of their daughter, Beckley will stop at nothing in protecting his daughter even if it means propositioning Sheridan to marry him in order to show the family judge that he has a stable loving household.
When Sheridan agrees to Beckley’s marriage proposal for the sake of English, she never expected that she will fall in love with him so fast. For years Beckley has kept his heart guarded and for the first time, he wants to share his heart with Sheridan. Will getting married be enough for Beckly to keep sole custody of English? How far will he go for the love of English?
“You pulled the nice and kindness out of me. It was something I didn’t know I had until you. You made me want to have your back in every way, made me want to protect you at all costs, and you showed me what loving another person truly means. Because I fell head over heels in love with you when I wasn’t looking, when I least expected it. I used to think English was the best thing that ever happened to me, but she wasn’t. You are. I had to love English. It was the natural thing to do, and I didn’t have a choice. But with you, my heart opened, and you filled it with so much love. I know without you I would be less than half a man.”For The Love of English was one of those reads that will have you grinning from ear to ear. This book was sweet, charming, full of heart and steam. There was nothing about this book that I didn’t like. The story line flowed at an excellent pace giving readers a full depth and perspective of Sheridan, Beckley, and English. So if you are looking for your next sweet romantic read with a hot single dad then you better get those one-click fingers ready because this is one book that you don’t want to miss out. A.M. Hargrove will have you bursting with so much love under the rainbow For The Love of English.
