Tipping the Scales by JB Sharp

funny medium-paced

4.0

What do you do when your first love, who you haven’t seen in 5 years, walks into your flower shop on a date with one of your best friends? You try to avoid him at all cost. The guy clearly doesn’t get the memo and once he sees you he forgets his dates name. Old feelings spark right back up the moment they notice each other. Things ended abruptly and Colton has so many questions for Delaney. I played so many different scenarios in my head as to why she left and never looked back. Second chance isn’t my favorite trope and I’m always extra picky when I do pick a book up with this trope. It’s hard to not experience their firsts with them. Without that I normally feel less connected to the characters or believe in their love. We do get flashbacks of key moments in their relationship which was awesome. The moment Colton and Delaney got into the same room I felt all the feels. The tension was super high and I was completely invested in their romance. Colton won my heart over. I love me a patient man and holyshit was this man patient. Their awkward interactions made this book that much better and I especially loved their text conversations. To think I almost skipped this book all together because of the trope, I’m so glad I read it. The next one sounds so good and I’m excited to dive into that one soon.
