Love Unwritten: the Sunday Times bestseller from the author of the Dreamland Billionaires series (Lakefront Billionaires)

Ratings: 5/5⭐️ You think the cover is pretty? Trust me, the story inside the book is more beautiful. This whole book has been a complete emotional rollercoaster, I’m not sure I can put into words how much I loved it. After reading ‘Love Redesigned’ I was certain that I would love Rafael’s book but I didn’t know I would love it this much🥹 Rafael is the kind of character you can’t help but fall in love with, a grumpy single dad with the heart of gold💛He shows his love through actions, like putting flowers in her girl’s hair🌸 sending her meaningful gifts miles away with cute notes attached🤌🏻 holding her hands and distracting her because she has flight anxiety and so many more. But what I appreciate most about him is how he improved himself so that he could be a better man for Ellie. He tried to work on his issues and chose her, all of her, despite his trust issues and past experiences❤️ Ellie was so beautiful and kindhearted. She endured a great deal of trauma and betrayal in the past, but she never faltered in her strength or confidence🌼 I adored how gentle and loving she was to Nico, and their bond was very touching💕 Whenever an author involves a child in a book my heart melts in the process. seeing Nico go through what he did at such an age pulled at my heartstrings❤️‍🩹 Ellie, Refael and Nico, I am just in love with this trio, the bond, the connection, love and care between them for each other is unmeasurable. If Ellie and Rafa own my soul, Nico will always have my heart🫶🏻 All the other characters, new and old ones, were so amazing, I loved each and every one of them with the bottom of my heart. (Julian, Dahlia, Lily, Lorenzo, Willow, Cole, Rosa, Josefina and Ellie’s parents).💖 So I just wanna say if you haven’t read this series, RUN don’t walk, run 🏃‍♀️ and read it😍 I am so excited for “Love arranged” can’t wait to read Lorenzo and Lily’s book💌

Small town romance which will make you feel like you're the part of the story! And i was devastated when the story ended! The book was in great condition

Revived romcom/romfic for me

It was decent. Good book and nice read. Didn't take much long to complete the book but it was a good experience 📖👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Good..but try to focus on the packaging

I read the first book in this series last year, and I was convinced nothing could surpass it. But this book completely proved me wrong because it’s an absolute gem! The characters are so well-crafted, and watching their growth throughout the story was one of the most rewarding parts of the book. As someone who loves the single-dad trope, this book easily ranks as one of my all-time favorites. The bond between Ellie and Nico, their shared love of music, and the way Nico loved Ellie were truly heartwarming. On top of that, Ellie’s evolving relationship with Rafael was beautifully written. Their struggle to resist their feelings, only to fall deeply in love, felt so real and heartfelt. I especially admired Rafael’s determination to confront his demons to become the man Ellie deserved, and Ellie’s strength in standing up for herself made her such an inspiring character. I didn’t want the story to end—much like Ellie didn’t want to finish writing her song about her and Rafael. Now, I’m counting down the days for Lily and Lorenzo’s story, especially after the chaos at that family dinner.

The paper quality is good with no misprints and it is floppy

Came in the best condition with no damage at all. I love it!

My love for Lauren’s writing grows with each of her books. From chapter one I knew I was going to love Ellie, Rafa and Nico, and I really loved Lauren’s twist on the single dad trope, this is truly a stand out in that sub-genre. Rafa may have come across as moody and arrogant, but underneath he’s hiding an incredibly tender heart that only beats for his son, Nico, and Ellie. His dedication to his son and his business hid a wounded heart. His initial resistance to Ellie’s charm was believable, as you could see his stubbornness towards any potential healing and happiness. He had the most insane character growth from the beginning to the end of this book. Plus the ways he made Ellie feel seen with his words and actions had me swooning so hard 🥹 Ellie was such a compelling character with her vulnerability and her resilience. Her relationship with Nico was special. Her interactions with Nico as his nanny added a layer of depth to the story. She had a nurturing soul and loved him beyond measure and took care of him like he was her own. Rafa and Ellie were both deep, complex character’s who had so much hidden beneath the surface. I really enjoyed their slow burn, it made their eventual romantic connection feel earned. The way they both peeled back each other’s layers bit by bit until they bared their soul to the other. Seeing them open up, be vulnerable, and heal whilst learning to trust each other was so special. Their love was real and earned and I kept being surprised up until the very end. Their bater and chemistry was top notch and I couldn’t get enough of them. Nico was a highlight of the book for me. It’s rare to see a single parent romance where the child has so much agency within the story. His special bond with Ellie and the strained relationship he fixes with Rafa were precious to bear witness to. He was so loveable and I simply adored him. He melted my heart 🥹 Love Unwritten is a beautifully woven romance that skilfully balances emotional topics with heartfelt moments. Lauren has a craft of being able to create relatable characters with genuine flaws and strengths, making this story resonate deeply with readers.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ho amato alla follia questo libro. Avevo dubbi? Assolutamente no ormai anche questa Thrice sta diventando una certezza. Riordino i suoi libri a scatola chiusa. E ogni volta non mi deludono affatto. Ero curiosa di conoscere la storia di Rafael e Edo Carletto la trama di questo libro potete capire che ha totalmente catturato la mia attenzione. un single Dead crampi? Una Tata solare? Un immenso forbidden? Beh, cari miei, con volato totalmente a nozze. Rafael oltre a essere Gramsci, è arrabbiato e poco fiducioso nei confronti delle persone. Le figure femminili della sua vita che vanno alla sua madre alla sua ex moglie non hanno fatto altro che creargli dei problemi di fiducia. Quindi adesso è totalmente intenzionato a lasciare chiunque fuori, peccato che la sua Tata presente da otto mesi sta mandando all’aria tutto quanto. Per i primi otto mesi è riuscito a starle vicino in un minimo indispensabile e a mantenere per quanto possibile tutto professionale peccato che un incidente con il figlio è un segreto venuto fuori tra la Tata e il bambino manda tutto all’aria. Da questo momento in poi le cose prendono una piega totalmente diversa. La Tata si deve confrontare con la mancanza di fiducia da parte del suo capo. Che non si limita a livello lavorativo ma anche a livello personale. Ecco con l’avanzare della storia e dell’evoluzione del loro rapporto questo sarà inevitabilmente un ostacolo enorme che segnerà la loro evoluzione. Rafael lì per lì licenzia la sua Tata ma a malincuore è costretto di sentire la sua mancanza e il fatto che il figlio è deciso non parlargli arrabbiato per aver licenziato la sua data Raffaella è costretto a tornare sui suoi passi. Ciò che segna una totale svolta nel loro rapporto è la vacanza con il suo capo e suo figlio su un’isola. I confini iniziano a svanire, le emozioni a prendere il sopravvento, i problemi a venire al pettine. Provano attrazione l’uno per l’altra ma Rafael non ha intenzione di lavorare su ciò. Sono troppo diversi, togliamo cose troppo diverse. Rafael un uomo spezzato. Problematico. Che non vuole far entrare nessuno nella tua vita eppure lei riesce a entrare di sotto pelle. In un modo che non capisce. Tuttavia i suoi problemi di fiducia entrano in collisione in ostacolo con tutto ciò.egli è una persona apparentemente allegra, solare, positiva eppure scopriremo nel corso della storia insieme a Rafael, come anche lei nasconde un passato che l’ha assegnata. Un passato non ha fatto positivo. Ciò che inizialmente accomunava due era l’amore che provavano per suo figlio ma diventa sempre più difficile nascondere dell’altro. Ma riuscirà Rafael a superare le sue paure e lasciare spazio alla sua tata? Ho amato questa storia. L’ho amata alla follia. Mi hanno fatto dannare dietro di loro, la loro tensione in questo estremo slow burn. Ma entrambi ti entrano nel cuore. Con le loro paure, le loro crepe. Con il loro essere umani

It was a marathon, not a sprint, but I had such a great time going along for the ride. This is a true S-L-O-W burn between two characters who need to battle their own demons before they have any chance of getting things right together. I loved that it was a new spin on the single dad/nanny trope, where spending time together has actually made their relationship worse. Getting to know the grumpy man has extinguished the teenage crush our heroine once had, while watching the sunshine nanny effortlessly bond with his son has made this single dad jealous and resentful. It takes some time before they can build up a level of trust - or even like - and I loved seeing them slowly make their way together. It’s tender and emotional with plenty of darkness in both characters’ pasts, so watching them grow stronger and brighter together was immensely satisfying. It’s the kind of love story that requires some patience, but there was never a dull moment for me - I loved it! The story follows Ellie, a songwriter who is working as a nanny while her music career is in shambles. She’s been working for the man she used to crush on as a teenager, but living with the closed off, jaded and depressed dad has changed her feelings about him. Rafael has shut down since his messy divorce, so he has all kinds of trust issues. But once the two are able to let down their walls a little bit, they quickly realize how much they have in common - and that their broken pieces might just fit together. Asher likes to write beefy books - sometimes too beefy - so I was a little nervous to see that this is even longer than the first book in the series. However, this took no time at all to draw me in, and I was never bored with it. I loved the slow burn, actually. It was important for these characters to build trust with each other before becoming something more, and it was still easy to see the undercurrent of connection and chemistry beneath the surface. They’ve both gone through a lot in their lives, and it was only by opening up about those experiences that they were able to grow together. Rafael was such a great guy - imperfect and vulnerable, yet loving and steady. He’s the perfect counterpart to Ellie, and I also loved the side she brought out in him. It’s such a quiet love story in so many ways, but their connection shone throughout. And when they finally made their way together? It felt so, so good. Audio note: The audio is excellent, highly recommended! It’s duet-style, which I love, and so well done. Vanessa Edwin is a talented narrator, and her performance was very good. I was nervous about Noah B. Perez because I’ve only listened to one other audiobook from him and he really played up his accent in that one in a bad way - I’ll forever be haunted by the way he said “Lucas” in The American Roommate Experiment. That was not the case this time; I actually loved his accent and had no trouble with it. The audiobook is nearly 15 hours long, so I listened over the course of three days, but I was never bored or disinterested. I was excited to pick it back up each time. It’s also a super slow burn with just a bit of spice, so it made a great workday listen. All in all, very pleased that I chose this format.

really lovley book!! i love the chemistry between the fmc and mmc, the tension is unmatched. i preferred love arranged (the first book in the series) a bit better than this one but this was still amazing nonetheless. if you haven’t already, i definitely recommend reading lauren asher’s other series ‘Dreamland Billionares’, they are soooo good!!
