Love Unscripted: The Love Series, Book 1

I felt it was the same thing over and over again, and I was finding myself feeling annoyed as I kept reading it. It was "this is going to be hard, then we will be ok, and this is too hard, and again and again." Not one of my favorites.

I loved this book from the start. Lots of HOT twist and turns.

Overall I liked this book but felt that it needs some more editing. The story premise was good (famous actor falls for ordinary pub owner) but the characters fluctuated from being believable to feeling false. The dialog was very formal in places and just did not ring true too many times.

The story spends a lot of time describing the development of the relationship between the two main characters. While this slow pace helps the reader believe the relationship is real, at times this development just seemed to drag. Then other parts of the story had very little development. Kyle the bodyguard becomes obsessively in love with Taryn after guarding her for a few days. There is nothing in their interactions during their time together to indicate this could or would possibly happen other than Taryn's comments to herself that he is good looking and acknowledging that she is attracted to him.

Another stupid thing that bothered me was the fact that the pub did not have a functioning kitchen. Rhode Island (like PA, the author's home state) requires that an establishment selling alcohol must have a functioning kitchen and offer food. The lack of kitchen was mentioned a number of times so it was not possible to ignore this. While this sounds like nit picking on my part, it was things like this that left me feeling disjointed from the story.

I read this on the Kindle and found many formatting errors that were distracting. Every apostrophe was a quote instead, there were line breaks where they shouldn't be, word spacing was missing in places and there were a few places where random parts of a sentence were inserted. I received this from the publisher through NetGally so perhaps those formatting errors were due to the copy I received and are not present in the official version from Amazon.

The book has the potential for a 5 star rating (as many other reviewers seem to be giving it) but without some editing (of the story as well as the formatting) I just do not see this as a 5 star book.

I found myself liking this despite finding taryn to be a bit of a moron.

this book brought my emotions all over the place at the the end. at the start of the book everything seemed great. there was everyday antics of a small town bar owner with a broken heart, and you just know that something is going To happen. now, this was a long book and by that I mean the first 75% was fairly life changing. yes, there are the ups and downs but once you pass that .75 mark the action and heartache just shaders your world. Everything was to good to be true, Ryan showed his true colors to Taryan and they hit it off great. But of corse no matter who you are life is going to show you how much you can handle, and these two can handle an apocalypse. I love the main characters and even the supporting characters hold their own. At times I wanted to shack these two and tell hem how stupid they were being, but someone else did that job for me. I could it put this book down even when I tried, once I was getting towards the end I had to leave for work, all day at work I just kept thinking what is going o happen next. It was also at a critical point in their relationship and my emotion were all over the place, needing the answers. Finally at midnight I got all my answers and man was it worth it. There are some really great lines in this book that portray the personalities of these characters perfectly. They also leave you breathless,giddy,shattered,bleeding,broken, I could go on with everything you feel in this book. Tins research shows in the book with the details of life as a movie star with adoring fans, paparazzi, and the work that actually goes into being an actor. I have to say that I enjoyed this book and can't wait to find out what happens next

I received this book from the publisher though net galley for my honest review

Okay, I don't normally write reviews because I'm terrible at it, but here goes...

The book seemed long. It took me several hours to read it over a two day period. I've always wondered if I could write a book about my mundane life and have people pay money to read it. This book is sort of like that. Although, these characters aren't leading mundane lives, their insecurities are constantly at the forefront and we are CONSTANTLY reminded of them. I think that the constant inner-struggles with insecurity adds unnecessary length to the novel.

Having said all of that, I still liked the book. The trials of their relationship and how they constantly fight to stay together are touching and sweet. What girl doesn't want a guy who will fight for her? I did wonder while reading this if they way Ryan felt is something that actors truly experience...did the author do research? I don't know. But, for me, someone who spends her life in classroom teaching math to high school students, it all seemed plausible to me.

I will read the sequel. However, if the entire book is a continuation of the same conflict, Ryan and Taryn surviving a relationship in the spotlight, I think I will stop reading. There will have to be a new obstacle to overcome for me to be interested enough to read it. I don't want the same problems in a different book.
