Love, Unscripted

by Denise Hunter Narrated by Kathleen McInerney

Overview

The perfect boyfriend only exists on paper...doesn't he?

Fresh off the heels of a bad breakup, Chloe Anderson poured her heart into penning the perfect boyfriend-and the result was an off-the-charts debut beach read that resonated with women worldwide. Now, Chloe's scripted hero is headed for Hollywood, with her book destined to become a major motion picture.

When Chloe gets wind that silver screen bad boy Liam Hamilton has been cast as the ideal-in-every-way hero of her novel, she's horrified by the film director's choice. How could a player like Liam possibly do Chloe's perfect hero justice? Unafraid to speak her mind, Chloe lets her executive producer know she's one hundred percent opposed to the casting. And oops-the call is on speakerphone, where the annoyingly attractive Hollywood star hears Chloe's unbridled outrage firsthand.

With Liam's reputation already on the rocks, his agent concocts a PR plan to upgrade Liam's image while putting the story-and the film-in the spotlight. The catch? During the movie's filming in Chloe's cute hometown of Stillwater, North Carolina, Chloe and Liam will fake a wholesome, committed relationship. Both stand to gain something from the arrangement. Liam's fans will see him in a new light, while Chloe can boost her struggling social media following and further her writing career. What could possibly go wrong?

As author and actor navigate the waters of the PR relationship, they're unpre­pared when their professional agreement turns into an actual friendship. And when serious sparks start to fly-well, that's an unread chapter for both of them.

• Charming contemporary romance
• Stand-alone novel
• Book length: approximately 83,000 words

Chloe Anderson is on top of the world. Her best-selling novel is being made into a movie, and she gets to have input on the casting and directing. So far, the leading lady is spot on, but when Simone Jackson calls to tell her the leading man will be Liam Hamilton, she is sure the whole picture is doomed. How can someone with a less-than-stellar relationship reputation possibly do the part justice? However, when the two meet, sparks fly, and a scheme to fake-date might just fix Liam's reputation and give Chloe the jump she needs to increase her readership. While they agree to put the scheme to the test, plans start to backfire as they discover there is nothing fake about their feelings. But long-distance relationships are difficult and doubts creep in, putting Chloe on the defensive. When family secrets—which she only shared with Liam—are leaked to the press, she's convinced he is the culprit, leaving her wondering if broken hearts can truly be mended. VERDICT Readers of Debbie Macomber and Robyn Carr will love this charming romance from Hunter (A Novel Proposal) that's filled with friction and fun.—Jane Blue
