Synopsis

A Greek family. An Indian family. A summer wedding on the Aegean coast…

Meet Moti Ferreira—spectacularly jinxed from the day she’s born.

Saddled with an eccentric mother, she stumbles upon the one man who holds the key to her freedom—the best man at her cousin’s upcoming wedding.

All Moti has to do is overcome her fear of water, board a yacht to the Greek Isles, seduce the dreamy Nikos Manolas, and survive two weeks at sea with her oddball family.

The only obstacle Moti doesn’t see coming is Alexandros Veronis, the onboard chef and star witness to her awkward mishaps. He transforms onions into chocolate and aroma into nostalgia. Day by day, his alchemy works its magic on Moti. But she’s not the only one falling under his spell. Everyone has a secret, growing round and ripe at Chef Alex’s table. When the masks fall off, they spill out one by one, and everything blows up in their faces.

Now Moti’s truth is exposed, and worse, she’s hooked on more than Alex's midnight snacks. But this time, screwing up could be the best thing she’s ever done…

My Review

MOTI ON THE WATER: 

Is a full length romance novel by Leylah Attar. 

5++++++ STARS!! 2019 FAVOURITE BOOK!!

Moti is a twenty four year old, the daughter of Indian parents and lives with her overbearing, over the top mother Dolly in Chicago. Her cousin and her fiance were getting married in Greece so the whole wedding party was going on a two week cruise of the Greek Isles. 

Now the right way to pronounce her name: MOTI. It means pearl in Hindi, but only when you say it with a soft T - with your tongue between your teeth: Mo-thi. When you say it with a hard T, Mo-tee, like most people do, it means fatty or chubby. Which was the bane of her life and pretty much ruined her childhood. 

Now as most girls are aware mothers want to marry us off as soon as possible, but that's not the case for Moti her mother would be perfectly happy if she never got married. You see it all goes back to the day Moti was born, her mother had a birth chart plotted, this woman predicted that Moti would meet her two thumbed (on one hand) soul mate by the water, but if she ended up marrying anyone else other than this bearer of two thumbs her mother would die within a seven day time frame. 

So imagine her surprise when she meets Nikos Manolas' the man with two thumbs on one hand.. Game on!! She had two weeks to win over the one man her mother would ever approve of..

So sit back and enjoy this hilarious adventure!! This is one read you do not want to miss!!

For years it's felt like I've been chasing that never to be found EPIC READ, like a needle in a haystack it was never to be found!! UNTIL NOW!! I devoured this, as soon as I started I didn't, couldn't put it down!! I just loved everything about this book, and there is not one thing that I would change!! 

I can't even form thoughts to explain why, it just was..Going into this I had no expectations, a wedding, a cruise been done before BUT not like this!! This was beyond UNIQUE!! 
This was AMAZING!! Throw in some Indian beliefs, some clumsy antics and this book was PURE MAGIC!!

I have never giggled so much throughout reading before, I have never LOVED a heroine like I loved Moti before!! Like this book she was ONE OF A KIND!!

Oh god and don't get me started on the menu on this cruise because I swear I had a food description orgasm!! The author brought it so alive in my mind I wanted to taste it on my palate, experience it for myself, smell the creations that were made!! Even the places they docked at and explored it all came so ALIVE!! It felt like I was there, experiencing it all along side the characters. Feeling the sun on my skin, the wind in my hair, the sand under foot, smelling the sea air, listening to the locals banter. Yet again PURE MAGIC!!
