BOOK SUMMARY:
Children's librarian by day. Romance novelist by night.
British single father.
Someone else is writing this love story...
Blair Walton isn't your average curvaceous tattooed children's librarian. She's also one half of bestselling romance author, Scarlet Rose. Along with her BFF Raine, she spends her nights writing books so steamy, she's afraid they would shock her Southern conservative grandmother to death . . . if she knew about them. That's why she and Raine write in secret.
On deadline for their latest book and out of ideas, Raine suggests (demands) that Blair find a guy and "do some research". Declan Bennet has all the qualifications: He's British, looks fabulous in a suit, has glorious blue eyes and gets bonus points for being an amazing single dad to his adorable son, Drake. But what starts out as a research project quickly turns into something much more. And Blair's not the only one with secrets.
Blair along with her best friend, Raine, make up Scarlet Rose. They're the duo behind the amazingly steamy romance novels that are big right now. Blair is also a children's librarian. Not the most exciting job when you are looking for inspiration for your books. Enter Declan Bennet, the father of one of the boys who comes to story time. With his sexy, British accent and the fact that he can wear a suit like his body was made for it, she knows that he could be just what she needs. She doesn't have a choice, regardless, as Raine demands that she ask him out.
Date one turns in to date five which turns in to them being together for a few months now. Well, together is used very loosely. Declan is afraid to put a title on anything as he's been burnt in the past. Little does he or Blair realize that when it comes to the heart, you can't stop it from falling in love. But will the secrets that they both harbor prevent them from admitting these feelings?
I feel like I've been on a perpetual home run lately with books. So many have been 4-5 star reads, and Unwritten was no different. Chelsea Cameron did a wonderful job. She draws you in from the very beginning. You fall in love with the dynamic duo that is Scarlet Rose. They relationship that Blair and Raine have is one that most people wish they had. Enter Drake, Declan's adorable, suit wearing son. He is such a little man, especially since he talks like his British father. Nothing cuter. He and Declan make a pair that can't be resisted.
There were so many aspects of this book that I loved. I wasn't able to put it down. I found myself staying up just a little later after the kids went to bed to get in some extra reading time. I know this will be one that I'll be able to pick up time and time again.

Review by Tatia
4.5 Stars
I agree with everything that Tatia said. The author did a very good job with this book. It has been one of the most entertaining books I have read in a while. The book length was perfect and the story flowed seamlessly throughout. The only thing I wasn't happy with was the ending - don't worry it's not a cliffhanger or anything bad - I just envisioned something different.
The author did a great job portraying the real life of an author and gave insight to the writing industry. The daily interactions of writing duo of Scarlet Rose were hilarious with each of their characters being very lovable and easily related to by a reader. I really liked the fact that Blair isn't your typical female lead and made no qualms about the fact she doesn't fit within society's norms. The Bennet men, Declan and Drake are gentlemen through and through; little Drake wrapped his fingers around my heart the first moment I gazed into those baby blue eyes. You can't help but like Declan even though he is a bit gun shy where relationships are concerned.
So back to that ending - I connected with these characters so much that I was hoping for a cliffhanger so there would be another book. Chelsea please tell me that Raine gets her own book. I will be watching out for more books from this author!
