An Eclair To Remember

by Rich Amooi

[zooloo1983]

This book for me was split into 3 separate parts. We have a cruise where Sydney and Oscar meet. You have the end of the cruise and the promise of the future. You then have the future and frustrations with it!

This was a cute love at first sight book. Sydney on her bachelorette party with her best friend Gina. Oscar meant to be on a cruise with his fiancé to repair their relationship. However, when these two meet it is an eclair to remember! One moan, I wanted more Gina and Leo!!!

Oscar is more open to his feelings to Sydney at the beginning. Sydney trying to deny her feeling due to her fiancé at home. Sensible vs reckless here. However, serendipity just will not leave these two alone! Always in the same place, matching clothes. It’s meant to be no?!

This book had some cute little quirks. It’s made me want to get my ass on a cruise to Alaska though as everything sounds so beautiful and I’ve always wanted to go on a helicopter. It was a breathtaking and scenic voyage. The glaciers and the towns are described in a way that you were in the adventure too, and I really wish I was a fifth wheel on this journey.

As much as it was wrong you really couldn’t help but want Sydney and Oscar to hurry up and get together. But they were sensible, although they shared a chaste kiss they knew they had to go their separate ways but planned to meet one month in the middle of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Oh my days what follows next, well I was tearing my hair and I had a lump in my throat! How could Amooi be so cruel to me! Yes me, I take this personally! It was hard reading these bits, I just couldn’t understand if it was serendipity then why was fate playing such a horrible hand. Do they not talk to each other, I mean seriously!

Life doesn’t always flow so easily for this gorgeous pair. For me, this was a different kind of book I am used to from Amooi, this time we had nothing in the past to hold back our characters just their present. No baggage just fiancés so for me it was a nice change of flow. Rather than waring characters, we have 2 people who want to be together despite knowing its wrong. Aaahhhh!

I really don’t know what words I can use. I am sure you are all bored of me gushing by now. An Eclair to Remember is definitely worth read! It’s not my favourite out his books (doesn’t mean I didn’t like it) because he has written so many bloody good books and they can’t ALL be my favourite, but it’s still such a cute, funny, romantic read! He just proves that romance is NOT dead, and also a cameo from a man who sings a lot about is in it
