Review: Forget Me Not by Julie Soto

 

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.

My Review

Forget Me Not by Julie Soto

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Honestly, I had a hard time connecting with Ama. There were times I thought about just quitting the book but I wanted to see how this couple would make it back to one another. Be aware, this book also moves from the present to the past.

Ama Torres is a wedding planner and she loves her job. But her mother's multiple marriages have left her sure that marriage is not in the cards for her.

Eliot doesn't always enjoy his job as a florist but when his father passed away he left the business to Elliot. He and Ama once closely worked together, until he proposed, causing her to run.

They haven't spoken in two years. But when Ama is hired to plan a celebrity wedding they have one request, Elliot must design the flowers.

Not knowing their history, the brides want to set them up. But things are super complicated, Ama has a meddling ex-boss to deal with and a film crew documenting all the wedding prep. A lot is on the line this time around and when things get complicated Elliot helps Ama get through the event after she's injured but will they be able to make their way back to one another.

Thanks to the author, and Hachette Audio for this ARC to review.
