Short Synopsis: Everything changes for Taryn Mitchell one day when famous movie star A-lister Ryan Christensen walks into her pub, and life becomes a whirl wind adventure for the both of them.
My Thoughts: Wow! There is absolutely no words to describe this awesome thrill riding story. I loved it!
Ryan Christensen just wanted to be an actor. Never in his wildest dreams did he ever think that accepting a role in an unknown film would toss his career into overdrive. His new fame has cost him dearly; anonymity is no longer an option. His fans stalk him, the paparazzi hound him, and Hollywood studios all want a piece of him. Despite all of that, Ryan Christensen craves the most basic of human needs - to have love in his heart and privacy in his life.
Taryn Mitchell, the story's protagonist, is a realist. She's been feigning contentment, running the family pub in Seaport, Rhode Island, while quietly nursing her own internal heartaches. Her feet are fairly glued to the ground and she doesn't buy into all the hype that has descended on her tiny, coastal town. In her world, men are safe if they're kept at a distance.
Fate has other plans for these two when their paths cross one sunny afternoon. A group of female fans has attacked him, leaving his shirt torn, his face cut, and Ryan in obvious distress. Bonds between them form from the most dramatic of circumstances while jealousy, insecurity, and the stress of his celebrity life try to tear them apart.
Through all the tabloid lies, secrecy, and pressure, can Taryn's peace and Ryan's high-profile insanity live together in harmony?
-- From Goodreads
This novel seems to be one of those love it or hate it ones, with the mixed reviews I've seen, but to me, I felt like I was on a whirl wind roller coaster, reading the ups and downs of Ryan and Taryn's relationship, and wanting to find out what happens next.
Though I'm sure this isn't the first and last novel to be made about celebrities having a relationship with regular people, I couldn't put this one down. Though this was a very lengthy read, I enjoyed the writing style, and the crazy situations that both main characters were thrown in.
Ryan Christensen is a very talented and popular movie star filming his latest movie Seaside, and while taking a break, he is catapulted into a sticky situation. To escape crazed fans and paparazzi, Ryan runs into Mitchell's Pub.
Enter, Taryn Mitchell, owner of the pub, and has never seen a Ryan Chistensen movie, but feels an urge to protect Ryan from the crazed public, and together, they form a close knit relationship, that both hope to survive from the threats and brutality of the real world.
I have to admit, there were times that I didn't agree with Taryn and what she felt. As situations like a crazy stalker who stalks both Ryan and Taryn to an attempt to break up the couple, I just wished that Taryn would have been a bit stronger in supporting Ryan, and believing him more, than the evidence presented. Reber also does an excellent job of hating the character Suzanne, and Kyle for the things that they pulled because they both had feelings for one person in the relationship.
I also enjoyed reading the playful banter and the conversations that developed with Ryan and Taryn, and their friends. It's been a long time since a book made me grin, and this one did it on multiple counts. The ending was very emotional, and I am dying to get my hands on the sequel, Love Unrehearsed.
Would I recommend this book: Yes
Rating: I give this book a 5/5.
