Re-read review of Love Unscripted by Tina Reber

09/07/2012

First thing you need to know about Love Unscripted by Tina Reber, besides that I absolutely loved it even more the second time, is that it is L-O-N-G. This is not a bad thing! Not at all. This is a like reading a book trilogy all in one. And I would have been happy and satisfied if it ended after Love Unscripted. But when you find out there is a sequel, you just want to “squeeee!”

I read Love Unscripted in September of 2011. I have read probably about 225 books since then, but this one has stood the test for me. Knowing that Love Unrehearsed comes out next week, I decided to do a re-read so it is nice and fresh in my mind. Normally I post here at Ana’s Attic daily. Did you notice I skipped a day? I couldn’t put the book down. Since I know all of you who read my blog can understand that obsession, I figured you’d let me slide.

Taryn Mitchell owns a bar by the ocean (and lives above it) in Rhode Island. Ryan Christensen (think Robert Pattinson, fame-wise) is filming the second movie based on a book trilogy nearby. Taryn isn’t the type to be star-struck. She has never read the books, or seen any of his movies, and doesn’t understand why her friends and every woman in a 2 hour radius is screaming his name. One morning, as she steps out the front door of her bar, Ryan comes running down the street with screaming fans chasing him. He ducks through the bar asking for the back door, and the fans think he escaped. But he had accidentally used the door to Taryn’s apartment. In the midst of a panic attack, scratched up and with ripped clothes, Taryn let him calm down, cleaned him up, and ended up spending the day together in the closed bar.

From the minute they started talking, I was smiling. Both characters were so real and likable. Ryan is so sweet and adorable, and Taryn, though a little too perfect for him was totally likable. One thing I really loved is how they took their time falling in love. Their relationship developed at a pretty slow pace at the beginning. Taryn was afraid of getting hurt when he leaves, and Ryan just wanted to take it slow to not scare her away. This would be my thoughts (and it was her friend’s):

“You know what I think? I think you should stop all this nonsense and screw the shit out of him until he passes out from exhaustion…you’ll have to feed him, of course, to keep his energy level up, but make sure you hide his clothes so he can’t get dressed. Men can’t run when they’re naked.”~Taryn’s BFF

As they became a serious couple, you couldn’t help but fall even further in love with them.

“Gently he rolled me onto my back; his eyes opened and locked onto mine. ‘Are you sure? ‘cuz I want you more than air right now.'” ~Ryan

Sure, they had a lot of realistic issues thrown at them. Mostly the paparazzi, and screaming fans, but they dealt with them well. If the whole book was like the first 2/3, I would have loved it and given it 5 happy stars. But then, BAM!!! Shit hit the fan, and everything started happening!!!! I couldn’t put the book down during the first 2/3, but during the last 2/3, there was NO. WAY. And this was a re-read!!!!

I laughed a lot, I cried, I swooned. I totally fell in love with Ryan all over again. I love that he never lost his down-to-earth personality. He loved acting, but hated the crap that went with it. I loved this book just as much, if not more, the second time around.

“I don’t want anyone else – just you. And no matter where I am, wherever I go, you’re the only one who is holding my heart.” ~Ryan

Loves:

  • Ryan. His parents. Taryn’s friends.
  • The length of the book allowed Tina to tell every little detail, and I loved them all.
  • The slow warmup to love.
  • Taryn’s insecurities were so real, I would have felt all the same things.

Things I wish happened: (I couldn’t find a dislike)

  • I wish Ryan would have said “screw you” to his publicist and everyone else and screamed to the world how in love he was.
  • I wish there was some more hot sex. Some good stuff was alluded to (they both had sore hips one day! Why exactly? I want to know!) Ryan was such a boy-next-door sweetheart, but he sounded hot in bed. Prove it!
Re-read rating: 5++++++++ stars, 3.5 Heat
The end was happy. I was good with it. Is it a HEA? Not really. More like a Happy-for-now. But lucky us, because book 2, Love Unrehearsed, comes out on September 14th!!!
Would you like to know my initial opinion? Check out my original review, one of the first I wrote for Ana’s Attic: Love Unscripted by Tina Reber review.
Since I read Love Unscripted last year, I became Facebook friends with Tina Reber. I have to tell you, she is AWESOME. She is funny as hell, has AMAZING taste in men, (she posts hotties all the time), great taste in books, and she promised Love Unrehearsed will be even hotter. Tina will also be visiting us here at Ana’s Attic!!! I’ll post more information very soon, but I can’t wait!!!

      i felt the same way as this review after reading book one. When i got to book two i remember tweeting how Ryan needs to get rid of this publicity… i just couldn’t see how he put up with her crap…boy was i happy when it happened.

      Reber has a way of opening your eyes and changing the way you look at things with these two books. I wish every celebrity has the opportunity to let their fans read the book just to get a look at what they as people go through. I’ve change my approach to celebrities i’ve “wanted to marry” and “loved so much” cause watching what Ryan goes through makes me ashamed of my obsession with my celebrity hunks aka Shermar Moore and Dwayne Wade lol. but man i couldn’t put these books down! I felt like i got more than i paid for with how long the stories are but even more with how fulfilling each work of each sentence is. Ive forced all friends to read this story and fall in love with Ryan, Taryne, Mike and everyone character in this book.

“Don’t deny it, babe. It’s in your eyes. It’s in your voice. It’s in the way you touch me and it’s definitely in the way you light up when I touch you.”

Sigh….I just loved STILL STANDING by  @kristenashleybooks . If you loved Motorcycle Man, you are sure to love Still Standing, there are a lot of similarities. I gobbled up every word. Warning: there may be a time or two where you think Buck is too much of an ass…but keep going, you’ll get over it and fall in love too.

I listened too Flirting with 40 by @kbromberg a few months ago and went on vacation and forgot to review. But it’s been stuck in my head since then. I loved it and I was so mad I didn’t share that love enough with everyone. So here it is! I LOVED IT.

“Spark is what I didn’t have for so long. And “Spark is what I didn’t have for so long. And this guy is all spark.”

Have you listened to @therealjoearden’s first book? @laurenblakelybooks teamed up with him to write How To Get Lucky! They make a great team, because I loved it! Listening to an author read their own words always stands out as extra-special for me.
