19. Breakfast in Bed by Eleanor Moran


BOOK REVIEW: Breakfast in Bed by Eleanor Moran

All the pretty ladies, all the pretty ladies, put your hands up! This tome is specially for you, the romantic at heart, the one who loves the LBD (Little Black Dress) series and for those who love rom-com genre books. Breakfast in Bed is one of those chick lit books that you wouldn’t be able to put down till you know the outcome of two individual’s highly unlikely love story.

At 31, Amber is being bombarded with wedding invitations just as she’s collecting her divorce papers (how ironic can this be) – and her bossy best friend has gone a step further and made her chief bridesmaid. Amber realizes that it’s high time she regained control of her rather unruly life and career.

Amber’s joy at landing herself a coveted role in Oscar Retford’s kitchen soon fades as she discovers Oscar is as famous for his furious temper and addiction to firing people as he is for the legendary meals he creates. Also going through a divorce, he finds a sort of solace in Amber.

But as passions start to run high, and her past catches up with her, it looks like Amber’s cooked up a recipe for disaster. Finally, Amber realizes that she isn’t cut out to work or be in a serious relationship with Oscar so she encourages Milly (a good friend of hers) to have a relationship with Oscar, which in the end works out well.


This story relates how when you take one newly single woman and add a passionate and fiery celebrity cook then turn up the heat, you get chaos with tons of laughs along the way. Breakfast in Bed made me put all my work on a to-do list and sit in a corner with a cup of iced lemon tea on a sunny day. Thumbs up for this chick-lit!
