Love Unrehearsed by Tina Reber Exceeded ALL Expectations. AWESOME!

09/14/2012

“Dreams do come true if you point yourself in their direction”

Love Unrehearsed by Tina Reber was everything I could have wished for and more. It has been over a year since I read Love Unscripted the first time, and I have patiently awaited the next chapter in Ryan and Taryn’s life. It could not have been better in any way! I loved Love Unscripted so much. I thought that a second book, without the jittery butterflies of first falling in love, couldn’t be as good. But I was wrong. It may have been even better.

“You’re my world, babe. Mine. Not theirs. They can have me, but they can’t have you, too”……

“I meant it when I said forever. That’s why. You are IT for me”….. “They only get the outside, not the inside. That’s for you……You bring me peace. That’s mine to cherish, not theirs”

As I write this review, I am going back through the pages and I wan’t to read the whole thing all over again. So much happens in this book. My favorite thing? Ryan finally mans up and stops letting his “handlers” tell him what to do.

“It’s time to go big or go home. I want everyone to know you’re mine, Taryn”

Ryan…….he is so sweet, loving, sexy, hunky, honest, and real. He is so devoted to Taryn, and never wavers in that devotion. He’s also insatiable, and since Taryn travels with him in this book we get LOTS more of the good stuff, and the talking about it was almost as hot as the doing it!

“Oh, no. No sleeping. We’re just taking a rest. We still have to test the shower and the bed and that dining table over there. And you still have four more orgasms to achieve” ~Ryan

One of my favorite quotes of the book:

“But I think he broke my vagina”

What did I love the most? Nobody acted stupid, nobody ran away, there were HUGE obstacles to overcome, and they did it as a team, together. They talked through their problems and worked them out as they came along! How refreshing! They became partners in every sense of the word. Sure, Taryn still had some major insecurities, I mean, who wouldn’t? But Ryan tackled each and every one as well as he could. And Taryn took such good care of Ryan. They made a great team.

“You’re my everything, Taryn”

It is clear how hard it can be to live in Ryan’s world. The constant media scrutiny, the screaming fans, the travel, the death threats, watching your man “make love” on set to another actress, and paparazzi making it difficult to have any privacy at all, but they worked through it. On top of all that, Taryn had her own numerous issues to deal with between her bar, her family and her friends. Yet they took care of it all, together, and learned from each mistake they made.

There was another lovely part of the story. Mike the bodyguard, who may be almost as swoonworthy as Ryan. Always a gentleman, manly, sweet and protective, he is a great best friend to both Ryan and Taryn. And he becomes even more as he gets his own storyline (no spoilers here!).

Likes: (OK, in this case, loves)

  • A true functional relationship with no miscommunications.
  • Neither Ryan or Taryn were perfect. Ryan definitely had some issues (OK, so maybe that made him more perfect)
  • Mike and Ryan’s “bets”.
  • So many different side stories happening with friends, co-stars, managers, etc., and everything tied together perfectly.
  • Ryan standing up to everyone and taking over.
  • Marie getting to be such a big part of all the fun.
  • A fucking AWESOME epilogue!

Dislikes: (none, but I try to find something for every review)

  • I don’t have more to look forward to!
  • Oh! I just thought of one: there were a few scenes that were a bit of a tease….all talk, no action. Maybe it’s the kinky slut in me, but Ryan promised/threatened lots of tying up and spanking, but there wasn’t really any of that in the book, though there were some great hot scenes.
Rating: 10 stars out of 5 (yes, I can do that! I did it only once before) 4.25 for heat
This book had me smiling, laughing, crying, gasping, and swooning. It was emotional, fun, delicious, and completely fulfilling. Together with Love Unscripted, this may be one of my favorite reads ever. I can not recommend it highly enough!
.
**Thank you so much to Tina Reber, for providing me with an advanced copy of this book, as well as one that I gave away. And thank you even more Tina, for writing this book! xo

    Awesome review! It’s my next read on my list.

    One question. Love Unrehearsed will be the end of Ryan and Taryn’s story?

    I mean there are a few scenes that just leaves you begging for more!

      She says never say never. But Mike and Marie sound like they are the next story, which of course means more Ryan and Taryn!

    I read it start to finish yesterday! Loved it. Not sure if they can come out with another book, but would grab it in a heart beat as well. Just am such a fan of a love story where the man treats his woman like she is the air he needs to breath.

- @catherinecowlesauthor has been a favorite of mi - @catherinecowlesauthor has been a favorite of mine for the last few years. In 2022, the entire Tattered and Torn series released, and I loved every single one of them. I listened to them all on audio, and they each deserve a place on my Best of 2022 list, especially Fractured Sky, which I gave a rare 5+++ stars to.

They also have the most beautiful covers!

The first two audiobooks in this unrelated series The first two audiobooks in this unrelated series were on my Best of 2021 List, and Seatmate by @carabastone has continued the streak for my Best of 2022 list. The full cast narration and the production of this “audioplay” is what made Seatmate a 5-star read for me. I really felt like I was eavesdropping on a real conversation. This was a quick and fun listening experience, and though it’s nothing epic, it stood out to me in 22.

I enjoyed The Back Nine by Rachel Blaufeld. It’s I enjoyed The Back Nine by Rachel Blaufeld. It’s rare to find books about older couples and I so appreciate when an author writes a sexy one. I had a couple of issues with it, and I really struggled with the heroine’s name, James. Every time I read her name (and the female MC for the next book is Billy) my brain had to catch up for a second that it was a girl.

Taking the Leap by Kristen Ashley is my favorite book she has written in a while. It very much focuses on Alex and Rix and it didn’t feel like I had to remember a ton of other characters. I felt their chemistry and how perfect they are for each other. 
I love how Kristen handled a disabled hero. This is one you don’t want to miss! Have you read it yet?
