Title: Unwritten(The Unspoken Series Book #1)
Author: M.C. Decker
Genre:
Contemporary Romance
Release Day: September 10th2014
Synopsis:
I thought it was too
late. I thought our story had already been written.
College sophomore Brooke Anderson thought she had it all − a
loving family, her sexy high school sweetheart, a supportive, quick-witted best
friend and dreams of being the next hotshot reporter for the Washington Post.
Fate had something
else in mind when Brooke collided with the devastatingly handsome
upperclassman, Rich Davis. Rich was cocky, conceited and arrogant. He was everything that Brooke didn’t want,
but Rich never gave her the option. He had already made the choice to be, at the very least, her
friend. Would Brooke accept this egotistical man’s friendship? Would she choose
to want more? Would it be too late if she did?
Fast forward nearly ten years. Brooke’s life hadn’t played
out quite as she had envisioned it. She was suffering from the heartbreaking
loss of her mother, her high school sweetheart was long gone, and her dreams of
the Washington Post had turned into a
career at a small town paper. Brooke decided it was time to follow her dreams.
If she couldn’t be happy in love, at least she could be happy in life.
Brooke’s dreams brought her to the lobby of the Washington Post where fate intervened once again as she
collided with none other than the devastatingly handsome Rich Davis. As her
potential employer, Rich now seemed off-limits. Brooke wanted her successful
career more than a chance at love. But, was it really her choice to make, or was it beyond her control?
Maybe my story is, in
fact, Unwritten …

What an amazing book this is!!
Unwritten is just that..Amazing..
I loved the beginning with its time twists and flashbacks!! It was a bit of a risky move to start the book this way, but boy wasn’t it successful and one of a kind?!! It is intriguing and very attractive!
I also loved the fact that we saw how they met and how their feelings evolved. I always love when I see their beginning and MC Decker gave that to us. We didn’t linger too much, but at the same time we saw everything we needed to see. Take a glimpse of the past and focus on the present and future! That’s what books are supposed to give us and MC Decker has grasped and embraced that in a certainly wonderful way.
The story is incredibly beautiful!! There is no other adjective better to describe it. It is utterly beautiful and breathtaking.
Unwritten is the ultimate romance with dramatic twists!
The characters are strong and able to make us love them and sympathize with them. We may not always understand them or not always agree with them, but we continue to love them. For instance, I wanted to pull Brooke’s hair and slap Rich’s head a few times, but I still adored them! Because that’s another thing books are supposed to do. Make us addicted to the story no matter what the characters do and how we feel about it. Make us love them and their story unconditionally. And Unwritten is a master of that!
The story has lots of twists and our characters really grow up throughout the book, so I am not going to analyze our characters or delve into the story more than this. There are too many things to see and experience that only by reading the book should you be able to do that the right way.
There are 3 points that I did not like as much. First of all, I had no idea that this book is the first of a series, so I got a little frustrated with the ending. I am not sure why I didn’t know, but I didn’t and it really aggravated me because I wanted their HEA. But oh well we must wait for Unscripted, Book #2. Second of all, I love Romance , I really do. But some of the lines seemed little cheesy. Some may call it very romantic but I found some lines a bit cheesy. Last of all, there were some reactions from our characters that seemed more of a teenager’s than an adult’s, especially from Brooke. I still love that lady, but she got crazied few times.
In conclusion, YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK AND SERIES!!
Unwritten is a fantastic book and it’s only MC Decker’s debut and the first book of Brooke’s and Rich’s story!!
Congratulations to the author for such an amazing debut!!
And Unwritten may be one of the best books of the year. It certainly has one of the best stories of the year!
So, 4.5 Glamourous Stars go to Unwritten!

Excerpt:
Prologue
October 2011
There was a limousine
waiting for me when I exited the terminal at Dulles International Airport, just
a little after daybreak. I’d only ridden in a limo once before and it had been
with him. I never imagined a
potential employer going to such extremes for an interviewee. First, I received
first-class boarding passes and now a stretch Hummer with my very own driver.
This was certainly a few hundred steps above my current, small-town, reporting
gig.
Even while riding in the
lap of luxury, I couldn’t shake the butterflies fighting in my stomach, or the
incredibly sweaty palms that I kept wiping on my navy, pinstriped, pencil
skirt. Thankfully, I decided to forgo breakfast before catching the red-eye out
of Detroit. That would’ve made the butterfly situation a whole lot worse.
I could do this. I
should have researched the editor, Davis, a bit more. Why didn’t I think of
doing it two days earlier? Where was the brown paper bag when you needed it?
They were always so readily available to the broken heroines in the kinky
romance novels that I enjoyed reading.
After what seemed to be
a short drive, the limo began to slow down in front of a large building with
oversized, tinted glass windows. Both an American flag and the flag of
Washington D.C. flanked the entrance of my destination, the home of the Washington Post. Before the car came to
a stop, I wiped my sweaty palms one final time, pulled my compact from my
purse, applied a light pink lip gloss and took a deep breath. Showtime!
My driver came around
and escorted me from the car. For that I was thankful, as I’m not sure my
nervous, wobbly legs could have survived my new ankle-strap, cream leather
Louboutins that I purchased just for this interview. Sure, they may have cost
me half an entire paycheck, but I wanted to look the part of an up-and-coming
Washington reporter. My new shoes paired nicely with the vintage Valentino suit
jacket that I found on clearance at my favorite consignment store and with my
favorite go-to, pencil skirt.
I made my way up the
front stairs, opened the heavy doors and headed toward the receptionist’s desk.
There sat a young blonde with what appeared to be a fake rack and an even faker
tan.
“Hi, I’m Brooke … Brooke
Anderson. I’m here for an interview with Mr. Davis.”
The much-too-perky
female handed me a visitor’s badge and directed me to the twelfth floor where I
was to ask for Mr. Davis’s secretary, Caroline. I waited at the elevators for
what seemed like an eternity before the doors opened and a group of people
pressed forward.
A few suits exited the
elevator on the sixth floor before the doors, pinging open on the twelfth
floor, snapped me out of my nervous trance. I straightened my skirt and began
to exit the elevator when I collided with all solid muscle and six feet three
inches of him. And, that smell – why did this man smell so familiar? … I hadn’t
smelled that perfect scent since … it’s then that I looked up and was greeted
by those teal eyes. I’d never forget those eyes – those eyes that I never
believed I would gaze into again. It was immediate déjà vu. I’d met him like
this once before, only eleven years earlier. I had been a young and naïve
student with so much to learn about life, love and heartache. I felt my heart
begin to race and I feared that it might actually leap from my chest.
I
thought it was too late for us. I thought our story had already been written…
