Fanfic sensation Julie Soto's smart, funny, and unerringly sweet story about a wedding planner with commitment issues who lands the event of the season--if only she didn't have to deal with her grumpy ex... She loves him. She loves him not... Ama Torres has a lot of rules, but the most important one? Absolutely no relationships. Ironic given that her goal is to become the go-to wedding planner in Sacramento. But the one time she came close to her own happily-ever-after, it ended disastrously. So, when she scores the celebrity wedding of the year, Ama is ready to make her dreams into reality. The catch? The tall, gorgeous, and incredibly terse florist who she maybe almost fell in love with...and whose heart she most definitely broke. Elliot Bloom knows that flowers need only three things: light, water, and attention. Which makes them infinitely better than humans, especially certain bright, workaholic exes who are obsessed with donuts--and unfortunately for him, utterly irresistible. If living without Ama is hard, working with her might be damn near impossible. But as the wedding takes on a life of its own, Ama and Elliot are about discover that some things can survive a complete catastrophe . . . and that love can be sweeter the second time around.

This book was the definition of grumpy X sunshine trope, and I loved every minute. My favorite part was how the author wrote their respective POV’s. All of Elliot’s perspective was from the past while all of the present was written from Ama’s point of view. It added so much more depth to the characters and their interactions. I could truly feel how awkward and how laden with meaning every interaction was because I got to see his side first (and all his feelings he had). While I wish I could have known what present day Elliot thought, I think it wouldn’t have been as effective. I honestly wish more books (especially second chance romances) were written like this. I also loved the insane plot points that happened along the way. It was a perfect mix to show how hectic wedding planning is. The big event (and last few chapters) were full of surprises that had me gasping and laughing.
Finally, the chemistry… ooo these two definitely had chemistry. They had tension, good banter, and, most importantly, history. It was the perfect mix honestly. Normally, second chance romances are not my favorite, but this one is the exception. (also probably because there was no cheating involved here. … WHY do the second chance romances always seem to be because someone cheated?!).
I highly recommend this book. It took me by surprise in the best way. And get you a box of donuts before you read. Just trust me.
I'm a sucker for a second-chance romance, what can I say. Objectively, this might just come under the five-star mark, but I really connected to this book. I was so invested in Ama's wedding business and seeing what she gonna come up with for the designs. Considering its dual timeline, I didn't think this was gonna be for me, but I could not pass up a second chance trope so I still picked it up. I loved how the romance developed. The author showed really well how their lives intertwined and how they became inseparable. Also, the ending really hit for me. And for the end, let me just say there is some spice in this book.
