Love Unscripted

The Love Series, Book 1

By: Tina Reber

Narrated by: Madeleine Maby

The first book in New York Times bestselling author Tina Reber’s The Love Series, this sexy contemporary romance pairs Hollywood glamour with small-town charm—and asks what happens when real love collides with fame.

Ryan Christensen only wanted to be an actor. He never imagined a life ruled by paparazzi, obsessive fans, and studios eager to control every move he makes. While filming in the quiet seaside town of Seaport, Rhode Island, Ryan escapes the chaos by ducking into a local bar—where one unexpected encounter changes everything.

Recovering from heartbreak, Taryn Mitchell has learned to keep men at arm’s length. But when a world-famous movie star walks into her pub, his humor, warmth, and undeniable chemistry catch her off guard. Ryan may be every tabloid’s fantasy, but Taryn refuses to be just another swooning fan.

As their connection deepens, reality intrudes in the form of headlines, jealous admirers, and relentless media scrutiny. Drawn together by passion but tested by fame, Ryan and Taryn must decide whether their relationship can survive when love doesn’t follow the script.

Wow just wow

wow, what a romance who would not fall for Ryan and Taryn's hesitation, it has everything loved it. The narrator did an amazing job.

What a great story....

Would you listen to Love Unscripted again? Why?

Of course I would. First of all, the story was great and definitely kept you wanting to listen more and more. Secondly, the narrator was amazing and did a great job with the characters throughout the book. And finally, the love story between Taryn and Ryan was beautiful.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I would have to say Taryn because she was such an honest, independent and realistic character. She never steered away from her morals and roots, which made me resonate with her.

Have you listened to any of Madeleine Maby’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, I have not, but she's a great narrator! Especially when you have to incorporate a male voice as one of the main characters...it's important to listeners that it sounds as realistic as possible and not fake and she did a great job at this.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I actually experienced both. The story was not one that's too realistic as how often does a celebrity walk into a bar you own and fall in love with a normal pedestrian? But, it does allow you to dream and hope that this might happen. The characters were pure and fun to get to know better. It was a great journey and I really enjoyed the love story as well as the ups and downs between Taryn and Ryan.

This book is excellent and so if the next one.

I totally loved this book. I was so happy when this one was over the book continued in another book. I will always read any more books Tina Reber writes. You will LOVE Tarin and Ryan. This story is so complete I really love it. You are immediate part of Tarin's life as a pub owner who meets and loves a movie star. Ryan is so wonderful like a lot of us feel the movies stars we like are. Living in his and Tarins world is amazing.

Very good book

Enjoy this very good book. A little slow in the middle and a tad predictable, but still a good story line.

Good listen; somewhat predictable and dramatic

What made the experience of listening to Love Unscripted the most enjoyable?

This was a very entertaining listen. At times the drama between the characters was a bit much but overall a good listen.
