Will Liz die before she can realize her happily-ever-after, or will the universe come through for her one more time? Find out in this humorous tale of true love and adventure!

My thoughts:
I have previously taken part in blog tours for Madam Love, Actually and There's Something About a Cowboy - both of which I loved. So when Rachel presented me with the opportunity to take part in a blog tour for another Rich Amooi book, I absolutely had to accept! And I'm so glad I did, as Dying to Meet You, in my humble opinion, is Amooi's best work to-date, and one which I've added to my 6 Star Reads! I read his acknowledgement section which says it nearly killed him - it was a hard one to write. He puts that down to writing about life and death. For me, it was an easy one to read. Compelling, well-researched, great, well-drawn characters, and with a plausible plot line, I found it difficult to put down.
Liz Parker, a 50-year-old, history teacher, and two-time divorcee wins the lottery. But before she has time to come to terms with that piece of amazing good luck, she is diagnosed with a rare bone marrow disease, which could be treated with a bone marrow transplant, if a match can be found in time. Without it she has about three months to live. Her brother Josh is not a match.
With the clock ticking, and on the advice of her friend and doctor, Dr Singh, and whilst waiting for a match to be found, Liz makes a bucket list of faraway places she wants to visit before it is too late. She can afford to hire a private jet to take her on this trip of a lifetime, and hires Ford Charters and Excursions, thereby meeting Adam Ford, the 50-year-old owner, and widower of almost two years.
How their relationship develops during the trip is brilliantly told in this emotion-charged yet humorous story. There is philanthropy, humour, love and romance aplenty, played out against a backdrop of ever-changing towns and landmark cities.
I loved the supporting characters, Orlando, Adam's First Officer and Josh, Liz's Policeman brother, as much as the main characters. Orlando is witty, supportive, tactful and Adam's confidant. Josh is supportive of Liz, and gently nudges her into making her bucket list. And there is more humour in the shape of Liz's neighbour Dolly Pearson, not-so-affectionately named Snoop Dolly Dog for all her poking and prying.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this engaging story, and would wholeheartedly recommend Dying to Meet You to readers who enjoy a good Rom-Com.
Note to Author: Rich, you've hit the ball out of the park with this one, and I can't wait for your next book!
