For What I Hate I Do

by M.W. Moore

For What I Hate I Do is a stunning yet fact-based fictional look at the abysmal and catastrophic lifestyle of protagonist Miguel Morris, an NCAA track and field champion whose sexual addictions (underscored by chemical abuse), send him on a downward spiral and bring so much hell on earth that it endangers himself and others. Endorsements, college, money and marriage are lost, marred by bad decisions and unsavory acquaintances, such as those who recruit him to become a sexual predator. Miguel feels betrayed by men and begins victimizing hoodlums and prostitutes. Ultimately, a shocking criminal element evolves that stirs a police and media frenzy for the former model and NCAA track and field champion who trades the opportunity to earn Olympic gold for silver handcuffs instead. Once while seeking redemption, he relapses and completely compromises his Baptist morals by becoming an exotic dancer. A single biblical verse in Roman captures Miguel's For What I Hate I Do, which paraphrased means, I really want to do what is right, but I don't do it. Instead, I do the very thing I hate.

But for the grace of God ...

This book was soooooo boring!!!! It took me about 3 days to read. I only finished it because I hate starting a book and not finishing it. More than half the book is about the main character (Miguel) running track and all of the stats. It doesn't get interesting until about 85% into the book. Glad this is a part of KINDLE UNLIMITED because its definitely not worth paying for.
