[Release Blitz, Giveaway & Book Review]: OUR UNSCRIPTED STORY by L.A.Fiore




Title: Our Unscripted Story
Author: L.A. Fiore
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: March 29, 2018



Blurb

Greyson Ratcliffe. I met him at sixteen, the hot new guy sitting on my jetty, an aspiring artist just passing through. He was my first kiss and my first love. I wanted forever with him. I didn’t even get a year.

Five years later, I’m a budding writer who scripts stories of love and struggle, the good and the bad and the ups and the downs. He’s a star on the rise; his wicked talent and crazy good looks have his face plastered on countless magazines. We move in two different worlds and still our paths cross again. We’re older and wiser and as crazy about each other as we had been as teenagers.

My medium is words and my imagination is limitless, but not even I could have written the incredible journey we traveled to reach our happily-ever-after. Life isn’t like fiction, and the greatest love stories don’t follow a script.

L.A.Fiore presents Emotional sketches and Diaries full of Sentiments in Our Unscripted Story. There's no other way to describe it. Her deft hands type the words that just fastened to my heart. Can't believe I hadn't read her before or my "Friends"😡 didn't force me to read her before. I've had the fortune of meeting Ms. Fiore a couple of times and she's been very generous and gracious to us and hence my need to kick myself repeatedly, is pretty strong. I'm gonna make up for it for sure, LA!!!
Back to the story. The ardour and fervour displayed just makes your heart soar and you get to experience the fevers of first love again, heart thumping, adrenaline boosting rush of emotions that will hook you and make you remember your first crush and first love.
There's a town of Mendecino , where there's a Jetty. One fine day a beautiful young girl, Alexis Owens, all of sixteen and stars in her eyes, meets the boy who'll occupy her thoughts and words for the rest of her life.
“Greyson, from the moment I saw him, has been like that favorite tune you can’t stop humming; he’s a part of me, the very best part.” 
Grayson Ratcliffe recalls the day in a a different way, albeit the effect is identical
“She entered my life on a beat-up second-hand bike and from the moment I saw her, she was it. She’s my heart.”
“She’s my muse.”
 




Of all the towns, on all of West coast, he had to land in hers!!!
They couldn't be more different socially, yet their hearts are so perfectly aligned, it's like cosmos shifted the planets to make way for them. Right from the onset, their thoughts, tastes, likes & dislikes match. They're kindred spirits meant for each other.
The story spans 20 years and we bear witness to sprouting of seedlings of love, thier nurturing into saplings and as the love grows and forests around them, getting thicker and denser, Greyson & Alexis are entwined in souls, inseparable in limbs. Life tides drift them apart, and they keep crossing paths off and on.



His dream of making it big in Art world and her dream of “The ultimate dream is to win an Academy Award for best adapted screenplay based on my international best seller.” forks their paths. They run parallel and sometimes their Ships pass in the night
She's been creating characters in her mind as a coping mechanism, ever since she was abandoned as a two year old. Why? .....(Read The Book) . Her wounds, painful and abcessive, are soothed by words that
embalm her damaged heart. That's how she starts scripting her love story.
I could admit deep down I was lonely. My birth parents abandoned me and my foster parents didn’t see me. I lived in my head so much because I was happier there. 
Two things I MUST mention here.
It could've gone really heavy and depressively sad, but LA gives Alexis a helluva sense of humour. That girl is hilarious and uncoordinated, her mouth and brain stumbles over words and inappropriately mouths them out loud. Which makes it a very fun read
“I had our entire lives planned in the three minutes before the bell rang. 
Secondly,and very unprecedented actually, the H & h are very open and in sync. They read each others thoughts, almost completeing each others sentences, so much so that there's no room for misunderstandings! . This concept or clarity of emotions was so novel and fresh , I almost fell for them again. All along the books you read couples split apart due to stupid and frivolous misunderstandings, just to create drama, where there's none. 
This dynamic alone had me fangirling hard! This added to the perfectionism of their coupling. 
“Promise you’ll always be around to talk me off the ledge.”“I promise. You promise me you’ll always be around for me to talk off the ledge.”
Easiest promise ever. I kissed him and said against his lips, “I promise.”
 

Their love story is stuff of Legends. Legends belonging to ancient times complete with castles, foggy moors, ancestral paintings and lost family heirlooms.



Now to the characters.
Alexis Owens I could feel in my bones, like she was me. I was her!!
Very smart and funny, vulnerable as a peach . She redesigns her own family . 
Paige & Grant including Tara, Amanda & Heather are her family
Dylan & Dominic Cantanelli are almost her brothers.
Finn I wanted to read more about.
Mr. & Mrs. Cantanellis provide warm embraces that should belong to parents 
Grayson Ratcliffe is a noble soul, loves so entirely, I was jealous of Alexis . His heart beats ONLY for Alexis, sees ONLY her, paints ONLY her. *sigh*😍
He's a Legendary Lover, very clear in his choice, solid in his stance
Their love starts, slows, goes dead, jump starts, breaks and sometimes bends. It's never a dull moment between them...Aye!



Life interrupts them a lot and many trials and tribulations later their Unscripted Love Story gets written
I wanted two more things from this book, if I may be so impudent in suggesting Ms Fiore
I wanted more upheaval and twists and blind turns.
Secondly more about his groupies/fans. Background, parallel narratives and their frenzied fandom. 
But I loved the story. Her writing is so refined and smooth, I didn't wanna step away, even for a second. The characters she creates occupied my thoughts 24/7. I was rooting for them, cheering them on, crying for them and wanted to slap Grayson couple of times! 
All good things come to an end and so did the book, but I'll pick her earlier work
