My Thoughts on The Love Script by Toni Shiloh

 

About:

A Hollywood hair stylist.

Nevaeh Richards loves making those in the spotlight shine but prefers the anonymity of staying behind her stylist chair, where no one notices her. But when a photo of Nevaeh and Hollywood A-lister Lamont Booker goes viral for all the wrong reasons, her quiet life becomes the number-one trending topic.

The silver screen's latest heartthrob.

Lamont Booker's bold faith has gained him a platform, and the authenticity of his faith is well known . . . until the tabloids cause the world to question everything he claims to be. With his reputation on the line, he finds himself hearing out his agent's push for a fake relationship--something he never thought he'd consider in a million years.

A love that goes off script.

With their careers at risk, Nevaeh and Lamont have to convince the world that their scripted romance is more than just an act. But when fake seems to turn into something real, can Nevaeh trust her heart in a world where nothing is ever as it seems?

My Thoughts:

This is my favorite book so far by author Shiloh. I was so engrossed in these two characters' lives from the first, and their fake not fake relationship had me turning those pages rather quickly as I needed to see how this made in Hollywood romance would work out.

Nevaeh Richards is a hair stylist in Hollywood trying to make a name for herself and get picked to become a top stylist on a movie set. But right now, she is rather content sharing an apartment with her college roommate and working at a salon and treating her customers special. She has real talent and so Lamont Booker, only the sexiest man alive, has noticed her and would like her to work for his mother who was battling cancer. That was a year ago, and Lamont's mother is much better and loves Nevaeh working on her hair. However, when the paparazzi snap a few pictures and turn the narrative ugly, both Lamont and Nevaeh's reputations are on the line.

I really enjoyed how author Shiloh played their relationship. Neither wanted to lie, but the truth was only going to make things worse. The creative way they thought of going about their fake not fake relationship was borderline white lie, but that is what they went with. Little did either know that their hearts would really be on the line. Can Lamont look past his fame and see a life with Nevaeh and can Nevaeh deal with the spotlight that can be both praising and demeaning?

This was a wonderful look at how fame can affect a relationship, friendship, and family. I so enjoyed it.

I was provided a copy of this novel from the publisher. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.
