I loved this beautiful, and poignant, second chance romance. It is a breathtaking tale of love, devotion, forgiveness and hope. This is not a quick love story, evolving over decades to prove that perfect love is timeless. Alexis and Greyson meet in high school and their connection is intense and solid from the beginning. Their lives take them in different directions, and when it looks like they may have lost touch, they are brought back together, stronger then ever. Watching Alexis grow up to become a strong, resilient woman who finds the good in everything, despite her tragic beginning, was truly beautiful. Greyson had a strong family connection that made him loyal, protective, and loving. They were so perfect together and their love is truly epic, despite the outside forces that test their bonds.
Narrators Tracy Marks and Aaron Shedlock are phenomenal. They are a perfect team, allowing me to feel every emotion and to be totally immersed in this world. Their accents are incredible and their every nuance of inflection and cadence make each character easily recognizable. They helped make this epic love story even more enchanting.

Soooooo many more than 5 Stars I have come to find that L.A. Fiore does foreign male leads and complete lifetime stories in such a SUPERB way that I just fall head over heels in LOVE!! Greyson and Alexis meet when they are in high school and this is the journey of their love, heart break, loss, and self-discovery. I LOVED every single moment of this story! Both characters were strong and at no time did I feel disconnected from them or want to change their actions. This story is a true journey and it was soooo very beautiful.

This specific video review will be included in the June 2018 wrap-up.

Our Unscripted Story is about that one true love story that starts with first love and end as a forever love. I know when I start to read an L.A. Fiore book that I am going to need tissues because every emotion is going to be exposed in her books.

The unscripted story of Grayson and Alexis is about two souls that just fit together and never let go of each other; no matter what life throws at them. From the very beginning you will be hooked and gutted by what happens; then you will be so in love with these characters that you won’t be able to put this book down. By the end, you will feel like you just lived through the greatest love story ever.

This might be L.A. Fiore best book to date, but I would say that after every book she writes. Her writing just flows from page to page, leaving you always wanting more and in a book coma.

Every lover of romance books NEEDS to read this book.

I’m a true sucker for a second chance romance and Our Unscripted Story was one of the best that I’ve ever read. At first we’re introduced to young Alexis, whose life started out amidst hardship. Armed with her imagination and a family of friends, her life was going to be whatever she made it. An almost-meeting at her favorite place in town had her setting her eyes on Greyson and it was love at first sight for both of them. This simple encounter laid the foundation for an epic love story that spanned decades.

I loved everything about these characters. They had so much depth to them that they felt like people I would have in my real life. This author always finds a way to give her books a sense of sincerity that speaks to me each and every time. Alexis, even when she was young, had a level of maturity that belied her age. She was humble, talented, ambitious, understanding, compassionate, and extremely loving. For someone who didn’t experience a lot of love in the beginning, her capacity to love was outstanding. Greyson was also a sweetheart. His love and devotion to Alexis was something to be envied. Every time he spoke, I heard his Irish lilt. And he really was magical. He was sensitive, funny, and extremely kind-hearted.

Don’t even get me started on the side characters. From Greyson’s grandfather, to the twins (Dylan and Dominic), to the beautiful family that Paige and Grant created, Fiore did an excellent job of bringing these people to life. I adored them all and they each played almost as much of an integral role in this story as the main characters did. The author didn’t waste one moment of this book on frivolity or filler. Each segment gave me a genuine sense of rightness with this story and I couldn’t get enough. Whether I was basking in the pleasure of first love/last love or dwelling in the anguish built up from the bits of angst introduced, I read this book in a state of wonder.

I’ll say it again, Liz is one of my favorite authors of all time because everything she writes is gold. I cannot recommend her books enough to people. Her stories are honest, emotional journeys that need to be taken by everyone. Our Unscripted Story is a complex, heartfelt, touching, and sensual work of art that teaches the reader about love, life, forgiveness, family, and the beauty of second chances.
