This was a fabulous debut from this author. I gobbled this right up!!!
This is a Dual POV/timeline between the two, past and present and it is done really well. We follow how they are with each other now, but the past POV helps explain why they are so hesitant to be near each other.
Ama and Elliot work in the wedding industry with their businesses, so they often crossed paths.
The commitment-phobe wedding planner, and the heart on his sleeve florist, explore their chemistry. They are together but aren't labelling it at AMA's request. Elliot doesn't want her to freak so he goes along with it but he wants more.

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.
