Congratulations to Melanie Moreland on the release of "Unscripted with Mila," book #6 of the Vested Interest: ABC Corp. series. Characters from the previous books (as well as the earlier Vested Interest and The Contract series) make appearances in this one, but it works well as a standalone.
Bestselling author Mila Morrison's book is being turned into a movie and she has been asked to serve as a consultant as they begin production. She reluctantly leaves the safe, familiar confines of her family's compound in Canada to travel to Los Angeles, where she'll be introduced to the film's director and principal cast, including lead actor Nicholas Scott. There's an instant connection between Mila and Nicholas, but her inexperience and his reputation for causing trouble seem to stand in the way of a relationship. When the truth behind Nicholas's reputation is revealed, will Mila be strong enough to stand with him or allow others to keep them apart?
I really liked Mila and Nicholas as a couple. They were wonderful communicators and remained staunchly supportive of each other no matter the obstacles they faced. The aspects of the story related to Nicholas's mental health were handled with great sensitivity and compassion, and I appreciated how committed he was to doing whatever was necessary to manage his condition. He was a genuinely good person and fit in perfectly with Mila's family. I'm glad he found the love, acceptance, and support he needed with them! As for Mila, I loved the way she seemed to gain strength and confidence from their relationship and let her true self shine through. She was so much stronger than most people believed, and the way her character grew over the course of the story was truly remarkable.
Overall, I very much enjoyed this story and would recommend it for all fans of emotional contemporary romance. I look forward to the author's next release.

About "Unscripted with Mila"
Mila Morrison prefers the silent company of her keyboard to that of people. She lives vicariously through the characters she creates.
Nicholas Scott only feels comfortable when he’s playing the role of someone else. He would rather be anyone but himself.
Both of them are hiding, too afraid to let anyone in.
Their attraction is unscripted, as is the bond that forms between them.
When the world around them threatens to tear them apart, are they strong enough to make the final scene?
