Forget Me Not

Goodreads Summary:

An ambitious wedding planner must work with her grumpy florist ex, whose heart she broke, on the most high-profile wedding of her career, in this spicy and emotional romance from popular fanfic author Julie Soto.

He loves me; he loves me not...

Ama Torres loves being a wedding planner. But with a mother who has been married more times than you can count on your fingers, Ama has decided that marriage is not the route for her. But weddings? Weddings are amazing. As a small business owner, she knows how to match her clients with the perfect vendor to give them the wedding of their dreams. Well, almost perfect…

Elliot hates being a florist, most of the time. When his father left him the flower shop, he considered it a burden, but he’s stuck with it. Just like how he’s stuck with the way he proposed to Ama, his main collaborator and girlfriend (or was she?) two years ago. But flowers have grown on him, just like Ama did. And flowers can’t run off and never speak to him again, like Ama did.

When Ama is hired to plan a celebrity wedding that will bring her business national exposure, there's a catch: Elliot is already contracted to design the flowers. Things are not helped by the two brides, who see the obvious chemistry between Ama and Elliot and are determined to set them up, not knowing their complicated history. Add in a meddling ex-boss, and a reality TV film crew documenting every step of the wedding prep, and Ama and Elliot's hearts are not only in jeopardy again, but this time, their livelihoods are too.

Review

I got through Forget Me Not quickly. It's a second chance love story that made me swoon hard. The main character's bubbliness was contagious~ And I had to fan myself many times because it was unexpectedly spicy!

I love a good wedding so it was a lot of fun for me to read about Ama doing her job. Despite it taking up pretty much all her time, she was a natural at it. Seeing all her weddings come together was so satisfying. Even when problems arose (because Ama's awful at delegating responsibilities) she weathered the disasters with professionalism and grace.

With Ama's POV in the present and Elliot's POV in the past, we got a good look at their relationship (timeline). The two couldn't have been more different- Ama's sunshine-personified and Elliot's grumpy to the max. Yet they had the most perfect chemistry. Even after time apart, he knew exactly what she needed. Oh and their sex scenes were intensely hot!!!!! In more ways than one they were a great fit ;))

With sweet words and heartwarming actions, Forget Me Not is easily one of the most romantic books I've read. Pick up a copy and join me in swooning!
