“I may not be the one and only you imagined for yourself, but I won’t stop until I feel like I deserve you.” - Rafael

How does life prove to you that it has a sense of humor?
Why, of course, when it makes you the nanny of the son of your teenage crush, who, by the way, is a bit unbearable and unsmiling and many other things, but above all, he is the one you always dreamed you’d end up with…
So, does life have a sense of humor or is it just holding your ticket to Hawaii?

Put on your swimsuit, your sunglasses, sunscreen, and flip-flops.
Did you forget something?
Of course!
Your Love Unwritten!
Utterly summery, light, and delightful, this book is perfect for the beach as it will take you all the way to Hawaii for a large part of it.

The dynamic between Ellie and Rafael is palpable even before they become a couple, while their chemistry skyrockets from the moment they realize that nothing can stop the attraction they feel for each other. Rafael’s son, little Nico, is a real rascal and honestly could be the best matchmaker.

Lauren Asher is one of those authors who always chooses to touch on some sensitive social issue, and that’s one of the reasons I’ll always add her books to my TBR. The way she always conveys such important messages without weighing down your soul or depressing you makes you appreciate her writing and her stories even more.

Chapter slow burn:
Can you get any more slow burn? YOU CAN’T!
Did it bother me? NOT AT ALL!
It suited the couple perfectly and made the tension between them even greater, so that when the long-awaited scene arrives, it almost makes you scream with excitement.

I recommend it to anyone who needs something light and refreshing for their holidays

3.5/5
Reading Love Unwritten by Lauren Asher, I thought that it’s not the most original story (rich, emotionally closed-off father hires a young woman as a nanny who carries her own sensitivity and traumas), but the way Asher builds the relationship between her protagonists is genuine and tender, without becoming melodramatic.

Ellie is a character you just can’t help but like. She has that quiet strength that doesn’t need to shout to be noticed. Rafael, on the other hand, is tougher and more difficult, but his gradual unveiling, as he lets himself go in his relationship with Ellie and his son, was very moving. He’s not an “easy” character, and that’s why I liked him more. He doesn’t magically transform, but he changes in a way that shows how much he is affected by Ellie’s presence, and I found that very beautiful.

But little Nico was the one who stole the show. He wasn’t just there to move the plot along—he was a character with substance, thought, and heart. His relationship with Ellie had depth, and many times it made me stop reading and say, “how sweet.” There were parts that touched me, but also others that bothered me, specifically when I felt that the characters struggled to truly communicate with each other, but romantic books always use the miscommunication trope for drama. Nevertheless, their chemistry is there, even in the silences.

Asher knows how to build emotional tension, and although the book could have been a bit shorter, I didn’t get bored. I felt like I was entering their world, and that’s always the most important thing for me in a story.

If you like slow-burns, characters who carry burdens but learn to share them, and stories that talk about family, forgiveness, and second chances, then this book deserves your attention.

I just finished reading the wonderful "Love unwritten, Άγραφοι Στίχοι" by my beloved Lauren Asher. A small town romance with a single dad and his son's nanny, spice & a wonderful love!

Rafael lives isolated on a hill in a big house with his son who suffers from an eye disease. So he hires the musician and nanny Eli to help him raise him as both father and son suffer from emotional trauma.

Eli has a heavy past and her music career as a songwriter has collapsed after an incident. So she returns to Lake Wisteria to find herself and takes a job as little Niko's nanny. But what happens when her boss is her teenage crush? And what will happen when she is forced to spend 2 weeks of vacation with him in Hawaii?

A tender and deep book by the beloved Lauren Asher that deals with serious mental health issues while talking about how life gives you the strength and opportunity to find yourself, your strength, and as a whole person to fall in love with your person. I really liked it especially after the 200th page where there was depth to the protagonists and we found ourselves in Hawaii. Eli's story was heartbreaking for a romance book and I liked how the author handled it, conveying messages without making it heavier than it should be for a romantic book. Little Niko definitely stole the show and yes, I caught myself smiling a lot and getting emotional while reading! So I highly recommend it to you
