Some layovers are for hiding out in hotel rooms. Some are for adventure. A New Year’s Eve layover in Singapore? For airline captain Camden Whitehouse, that was for meeting Amie, the gorgeous flight attendant from London who he hasn’t been able to get out of his head for almost four years. He still can’t rinse the taste of her skin from his memory. But she snuck out in the middle of the night, and Cam woke up to face the new year alone.
Three years and nine months ago, Amie Caine’s life was turned upside downโby a pilot, of all people. After a few too many Singapore Slings and the most incredible sex of her life with the hottest man she’s ever met, she snuck out of his hotel room without a trace. He left a trace, though, and now that trace is three years old and she looks just like him.
They’ve thought of each other every dayโbut between the fears, secrets, and lies, and the thousands of miles between them, can they go the distance?
Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars
I thought that The Best Bad Decision was a solid debut novel from S. Sidney. I found Cam and Amie to be relatable characters and their overall story heartwarming.
The prologue is told in third person, when Cam and Amie have a one-night stand during a layover in Singapore. She’s a flight attendant, and he is a pilot (for different airlines), and they both find themselves in the city on New Year’s Eve. They spend a wild night together, never exchanging last names or many details about themselves, and Amie sneaks out of his hotel room before dawn. The rest of the book picks up four years later: Cam hasn’t been able to get his mystery woman out of his mind, and Amie is now a single mom to a precocious three-year-old little girl, Maisie. It has been four years, but fate intervenes and puts Cam and Amie together when they run into each other at the same hotel during a layover in Santiago, Chile. Cam can’t believe his good luck that he’s found his NYE woman again, and Amie realizes that the time is now to tell Cam what she couldn’t previously because she had no idea how to get in touch with him.
After the initial shock that he has a toddler daughter wears off, Cam jumps into Daddy Mode. Sidney did a great job in writing this family, not just the relationship that Cam built with his daughter, but the mutual pining between Cam and Amie over their long-distance friendship. It’s so clear they both have deep feelings for each other, but when she lives in London and he’s in Phoenix, how can they make that work? Which one of them will have to uproot their life for them to give it a go? I really liked the way the author handled that obstacle. The progression of Cam and Amie’s relationship from friendship to everything else felt natural and I loved seeing how they found common ground in their parenting and romance.
I look forward to more from S. Sidney with Amie’s friends! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
