Blurb:
Sydney
Bennett is back! And her pursuit of perfection is alive and well. Naïve to the
core, Sydney believed that when she finally married the man of her dreams, the
hard part was over. Following a civil ceremony as a means to keep Louis from
being deported, Sydney continues to plan the fairytale wedding that she had
dreamed of since the age of five. Much to her chagrin, she discovers that her
mother-in-law is planning what seems to be a rival wedding in France that SHE
has been dreaming about for her only child since before he was born. How will
poor Sydney be able to ensure two perfect weddings in the midst of Louis’
fruitless job search? Especially when her mother-in-law’s idea of perfection
appears to be having Sydney embarrass herself in front of hundreds of French
people that she has never met?
As
if she didn’t have enough on her mind already, Sydney finds herself faced with
the trials and tribulations of being a wife. Sydney had always heard that
marriage was hard, but she thought that this was just a ruse that married
couples portrayed in a bid to make single girls feel less desperate. But as the
bills pile up and emotions run high, she realizes that there may just be some
truth to this statement. And as she watches Louis’ perfection fade away before
her very eyes, she begins to wonder if she made a rash decision in marrying a
man that she had known for a mere six months.
With all of the obstacles that Sydney and Louis will encounter, will they be raising their glasses in celebration or watching their impulsive marriage crash and burn? One thing is for certain, Sydney and Louis Durand are headed for one hell of a toast…
Review by Marlene Engel
Sydney and Louis married in a quick
civil ceremony to keep him from being deported, but Sydney has always dreamed
of a storybook wedding. One she is busy
planning for in Monterey, California. However,
her mother in law has other plans. She
is currently organizing an over the top wedding in the French countryside that
will include both families and some unexpected guests. Sydney is concerned that the language barrier
between her and her in-laws will cause some problems and end up embarrassing
her new husband.
Amongst all of the wedding hoopla,
Sydney and Louis are met with some challenges.
Louis loses his job, which causes strain on their marriage. And, although he’s busy looking for and
trying to keep a job, the process takes up a lot of his time. Time that Sydney so desperately wants. How will they deal with all of the drama of
planning two weddings while juggling the demands of everyday life as a married
couple?
French Toast
is the second book in the French Twist Series.
It can be read as a stand-alone, but I would recommend reading them in
order for more reading enjoyment. This
was such a fun book to read. The
characters were enjoyable, the story-line was fun and I found myself laughing
out loud on several occasions. This is a
book I would definitely recommend!
