Love Unscripted is the first book of the love series by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of adult contemporary romance, Tina Reber.
Love Unscripted is the beginning of Ryan Christensen and Taryn Mitchell love story. Ryan is a gorgeous aspiring actor who has been striving for his big break. He finally catches his big break and becomes a household name and is constantly linked in the media frenzy. Despite living his long life dream Ryan is annoyed with the constant paparazzi and crazy obsessed fans. He can no longer enjoy the simple things in life we take for granted, like running errands, eating at a restaurant or enjoying a drink at the bar. Every step that Ryan makes is documented, snapped, and stalked. Behind the glitz and glamor of being a rising star Ryan is like the rest of us seeking privacy in his life and finding unconditional love.
Taryn is a humble, sweet, and beautiful bar owner. Taryn took over the family owned bar that is in Seaport, Rhode Island after the tragic passing of her father. Owning the bar was not in the cards for Taryn but she couldn’t turn her back away from the memories and symbolic meaning of ‘Mitchell’s Pub.’ Taryn has no sibling and her parents are both deceased. With no family she has grown closer to her best friends that have become a second family to Taryn. With running the pub Taryn doesn’t have time or desire to give into the hype of movie stars and tabloids.
Taryn is still recovering from her past relationship and has built up a guard against any guy who tries to get her attention. With Ryan and the rest of the cast being in Rhode Island, Taryn is completely oblivious and indifferent about them being in there. One day these two are thrown in a situation that makes them cross paths. As Taryn is opening her pub she ambushed by Ryan as he is running away from a group of crazy female fans. Ryan is left with his shirt torn to shreds and scratches on his face from the relentless stalker fans.
Taryn isn’t star struck and helps Ryan clean his wounds and gives him one of her father’s old shirts. She helps him calm down by playing a game of pool and giving him a beer. Ryan doesn’t believe Taryn when she says she hasn’t seen any of his movies. As Ryan spends time talking with Taryn he can see that she is telling the truth and one of the realist person ever. There is an instant attraction but with Ryan’s high profile life Taryn is skeptical to jump into the relationship.
Even though the chances of a normal girl meeting and dating a famous movie star are unrealistic and unattainable Reber presents a sweet and touching love story. The characters are realistic and have relatable flaws, attributes and dreams. It is an addictive read that will pull at your heartstrings and rooting for a happy ending. The epic and captivating love story between Ryan and Taryn continues in Love Unrehearsed.
