Unscripted - by Davis Bunn

Cover Art

About the book:

Line producer Danny Byrd is well known in Hollywood for being someone who gets things done on time and under budget. But when his reputation takes a beating after his partner--and former best friend--makes off with their investors' money, Danny has but one chance to redeem himself and restore his ruined career.

LA lawyer Megan Pierce has sacrificed years of her life proving herself to impossible bosses, only to find herself disgusted at their snobbery and their specious business practices. When an opportunity to actually make a difference comes her way, she knows she has to grab it--even though she's not entirely clear what "it" is.

Danny and Megan are each other's best hope for redemption. What they never could have imagined was that they might also be each other's best hope for love.

My review:

This was an interesting story about second chances and a behind-the-scenes look at how movies are made.  I liked Danny and Megan but felt I didn't get to know them very well.  We're told a little about their pasts and what kind of people they are and I did root for them, especially as the stakes got higher as the story continued.  There wasn't really much to the romance and just a couple of references to God and the Bible.  Most of the story was about discovering a young teen's star quality and helping her channel her grief over the loss of her father into acting while figuring out a plot and writing a story that audiences would resonate with all on a limited budget and time frame!  It got a little stressful and made me wonder how any movie gets made and also made me understand how they can fall apart before they get very far.  If you like seeing behind the curtain, you might like this story.

I received this book from Revell.  I was not compensated for this review.  All opinions are my own.
