THE LOVE SCRIPT is the first novel in the Love in the Spotlight series by TONI SHILOH. It is a most enjoyable read with great characters and a strong Christian message. I cannot recommend this lovely book highly enough.
Nevaeh Richards is a hair stylist who works in Hollywood. One of her clients is Rosie Booker, Lamont Booker - The Sexiest Man Alive’s - mother. When a photo is taken of Lamont helping Nevaeh down the front steps of his home, his Christian faith is comprmised. They start fake dating at the suggestion of his agent Bryan, and Nevaeh’s life is never the same. Hounded by the paparazzi, abused on line, she loses her job at The Mane Do and has to move out of the apartment she shares with a friend who is trying to use the siruation to her own advantage.
They start really dating in order to get to know one another, and when they develop feelings for one another they each feel convicted that they need to not only repent before God, but come clean no matter the cost to Lamont’s reputation.
I like Nevaeh’s dry wit and the way their dialogue is full of well known quotations from their favourite films. I also like the way their individual relatioships with the Lord are described. I love Ms Rosie, Nevaeh’s parents and Lamont’s two praying friends, who contrast well with the falseness and worldliness in the film industry.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Bethany House Publishers. The opinions in this review are completely my own.
