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!
