Twenty-seven year old, African-American, Minka Greene has to endure watching her twin sister marry the man she loves. Her weight is up, and her confidence is down. Not exactly the ideal time to meet the real man of her dreams.The Scale opens in Martha’s Vineyard with Minka attending Keely and Blake’s engagement party at Martha’s Way, the beautiful inn owned and operated by the tall, blond, tattooed man with the piercing blue eyes. It just so happens Jason Montgomery is also Blake’s childhood friend and the best man. Dealing with a whirl of emotions, Minka faints in Jason’s arms.When she wakes up naked in Jason’s bed after a night of passion, the Vineyard confirmed bachelor struggling with his own demons and the woman filled with self-doubt and pining for another man are joined in an experience that will change their lives.

I like twin stories. There is always a shadow where one twin lives under until that one thing finally sets her off as something more than the one who shares a face with the star. But in The Scale the shadow is not Keenly but Minka’s insecurities that she has wrapped around her like a life jacket. She believes she’s in love with her sister’s fiance because he’s the first man not to tease her for being fat and she ends up resenting Keenly for ‘stealing him’ until she meets the best man and he does not disappoint.
it was a great discovery story , one that I enjoyed reading and would read again.
