Love Unscripted

 


This book was a fairly easy read that held my attention all the way through.  Set in coastal North Carolina, it had all the bea<chy vibes with the added bonus of a bookstore nearby.  Book stores always hook me and reel me in. 

Chloe Anderson has written a best-seller that is being adapted into a movie.  The actor playing Ledger, the hero of the book is Liam Hamilton, a Hollywood hunk with a pretty bad reputation.  Chloe doesn't realize she's on speaker phone when she is informed that Liam will play the lead and she does not react well to the news.  From there, life gets interesting, to say the least. 

Denise Hunter has written a pretty standard novel using the romance novel formula--and when it comes down to <boy loses girl>, it is done in a most spectacular fashion where all kinds of secrets are revealed. Betrayal is rife, even though it was a rather bit player in the book who does the betraying. 

There is a very cute side story going on at the same time where Chloe's brother and her best friend, Meghan, become enamored of each other. And it is Meghan who finds out who truly betrayed Chloe. 

The one thing I have against this book is that it is labeled as a Christian book but Christ is not mentioned anywhere in the book.  There is no mention of faith or active Christian lifestyles. It IS a clean romance, where passionate kissing is the steamiest part of the book.  

Four Stars.
