Review: Love Unscripted by Tina Reber
An A-List Movie Star…
Ryan Christensen just wanted to be an actor. Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine a life where fans would chase him, paparazzi would stalk him, and Hollywood studios would want to own him. While filming in Seaport, Rhode Island, Ryan ducks into a neighborhood bar for a quick escape from legions of screaming fans…and finds much more than he expected.
A Small Town Girl…
Nursing a recent heartbreak, Taryn Mitchell believes men are best kept at a safe distance. But when Ryan Christensen unexpectedly bursts through the front door of her pub, she can’t help but be drawn in by his humor, charm, and undeniable good looks. At six foot two, with dirty blond hair, blue eyes, and an incredible body, Ryan has every girl in Seaport swooning. But Taryn isn’t every other girl.
A Relationship that Doesn’t Follow the Script…
Despite her better judgment, Taryn soon finds herself falling hard for Ryan. But is their bond strong enough to survive the tabloid headlines, the relentless paparazzi, and the jealous fans who seem determined to tear them apart?
I really liked the story of Ryan and Taryn. What I couldn't take was all the girly, girly things on the book. As it was on the POV of Taryn all was very dramatic and it was very annoying. It was very teenagery for me. I like some sentiment behind the story, like with the accident and all but it really killed it for me every time Ryan was made to look like a pussy and not the manly man we want to see on our fantasy.
I get that Tina has to show that he is tired of the constant invasion of privacy and the lies the paparazzi invent just to sell a story but I think she took it to the extreme and showed him to be weak. In my opinion, he could have used a bit more backbone.
I liked the end with the plot of Lauren and Kyle, the accident, and the subsequent reveal of the truth but I think it could have used a little more man personality on it. I just hope that the next book it's not so bad and I can give it a better rating.
