4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars 67 ratings
From the outside, Scottish actress Ella McGregor has the perfect life. A list of Hollywood blockbusters under her belt, wealth, a fancy house, flash cars, a great family, and a brilliant boyfriend, Donovan... until she learns he has betrayed her. In fact, Ella’s story could be the script of her next Hollywood blockbuster: Conned – a tale of trusting the wrong person.

Connor Andrews, Donovan's best friend, has loved Ella since the day they first met five years ago. Too bad for him he didn't get there first, but with Donovan out of the picture, Connor wonders if he may finally have a shot with the woman of his dreams.

With so much history between them, and heartbroken Ella's world ripped apart, can he make her see he's just what she needs? Will Ella let Connor help her to stand up and fight, or will she run and hide from the one person who she trusts the most?

    5.0 out of 5 stars masterful work of human emotion
    Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2018
    I just binge read this book in about 2 hours. A masterful work of human emotion, bringing the reader skillfully into the lives of the characters! With a cliff hangar ending that has me waiting figuring out how to neglect my family more so I can read the next book!

    Ella MacGregor is a Scottish actress on the top of her game when life takes a decidedly down turn. Her boyfriend/agent betrays her and she has to figure out how to regain her security, trust, and joy for life. Luckily, she has a loving family and friends she can rely on to help her right life's wrongs. Ella has to reclaim her life and find herself. Reading her struggle and accomplishments was a joy. “There is always something good, even in a bad situation. It's just about looking in the right places.”

    I loved all the characters. Ella's struggles were real and honest and her emotions were so true and heartbreaking. Connor Andrews loved Ella from the sidelines, as her boyfriend's best friend. So when Donovan betrays Ella, Connor is ready to step up to show not only his love, but how to treat a lady. Ella's father makes me want to call my dad; like any good father, he just wants to feed his girl and make sure she's happy. The village of friends and family surrounding Ella and Connor are so fantastic!

    Poor Connor loving Ella for over five years, always being near and not being the man in her life. But he waits her out, and is there for her when she needs him most. He does his best to show her that he can treat her right and the chemistry is there, without being forced or trite. They build their relationship on friendship, “we have that so we can build on it.”

    Karen Frances weaves an arresting tale of glittering movie stars who deal with the same emotions and issues as the rest of us. The way she has weaves details and humanity into Ella have me enamored of her diligence to keep her humble, struggling, proud and strong. I love how the idea of betrayal, in this case by an agent to a star actress, is one that is many things: pulled from headlines, a mostly out of reach idea, and yet, at its base, a concept we all have had to deal with in some way. The book deals with the betrayal in a gripping “Law & Order” sort of way, keeping you rooting for the heroine and waiting with bated breath to see how the criminal will reveal himself.

    I'm up in arms about the cliffhangar. I don't like them! I like a good happy ending. I am sad that Ella and Connor don't get one in this book. I have high hopes that all will wrap up nicely in Scripted Love. But no matter what, I can honestly say I was engrossed in this book and can't wait to read more by the author.

    4.0 out of 5 stars cliffhanger central!
    Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2018
    Scripted Reality was one I delved into after hearing so much about from the author herself. I was excited to return to Karen Frances work! Karen’s characters always leave an impression on my heart and Ella and Connor were no different.

    Ella was left in the worst position thanks to Her then-boyfriend Donovan. Twat alert! Leaving her penniless and at rock bottom her family and friends were there for her to regain the pre-Donovan Ella McGregor.
    I think I knew from the introduction of Connor where the story would go, but it didn’t stop me enjoying where the story led us readers.

    As Ella found herself again, with Connor and her closets family’s help, as rose her career again. He made her, HER again and it made my heart just soar. Seeing how strong and resilient she became because of it, shows how fierce she truly is.

    Excerpt:
    When money is no object, you don’t think about it. But when it’s gone, you have to make choices wisely. And nothing the past few weeks has certainly given me a lot to think about.

    I think there’s a lot more to come from this story, and the ending was a killer...be warned of the cliffhanger, but I’ll certainly be hanging until the next instalment. So many unanswered question that I need answers to!

    So nice to see some familiar names in this story from Karen Frances’ previous works and loved that linkage! As ever, an easy but brilliant read. High hopes for the next story that I sincerely hope I won’t need to wait too long for (for my nerves more than anything!).

    Ella has a successful dream career, and everything is perfect is her life. However, when she is duped by her ex, she hits rock bottom and retreats home to her family and friends. Connor, has loved Ella for a few years, but has stayed in the background, and now he is amazingly protective and supportive to Ella. The chemistry between these two is intense, but no spoilers from me; this is a definite must read, you will not be disappointed! This is a well written and beautiful story which flows seamlessly, and had me hooked and intrigued throughout. I adore this authors’ work, and I cannot recommend her work enough for all readers. This talented author definitely giver her heart and soul to her stories and I cannot wait to read more of her work.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A story of deceit and new love
    Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2018
    Once again this author delivers a story that we could all relate to; whilst we are not part of the Hollywood fraternity we could easily be hoodwinked by the one person we trust with our lives and left to deal with the fallout!

    Ella McGregor is that girl who has been left with nothing after being dealt a low blow by her beau of five years. Told from a first person POV the book tells of Ella putting her life back together and giving her her time for something selfless all whilst moving on.

    What I did find was Ella seemed to fall in to the arms of someone else too quickly and easily, a matter of weeks. Going from wanting closure and an explanation from Donovan to not wanting a bar of him once he did decide to get in touch. I think the character lacked anger, the kind you feel when you are backed into a corner and need to come out fighting. The time frame didn’t work for me, she needed more time as a single person to come to terms with the deceit before going headfirst into a new relationship. All that aside, the story is a heartfelt and beautiful romance.

    Ending in a cliffhanger as Ella strives towards her HEA!

    I am absolutely in love with Connor and Ella and Connors story is emotional, gripping, sad and frustrating. He is everything I want in a man. When Ella’s partner, Donovan leaves her penniless she tries to cope and deal with everything on her own, but fails miserably. Her Dad and Brother are amazing once they find out what’s been going on. Connor is Donovan’s best friend but has loved Ella for 5 years and has been waiting in the wings for Donovan to mess up. It seems it was always on the cards. Everybody could see it except for poor Ella. Four months down the line and life for Ella is getting back on track and she’s finally in a wonderful relationship with Connor. However, Ella has been receiving texts, calls and letters from Donovan, he wants her back. She is HIS! Will she go back to him? There are two books in this series and book two is also available. I can’t wait to read more and find out how this story ends.

    This book is brilliant in that the characters are believable and things that happened could be real life for lots of people.
    Ella and Connor have been friends for a long time as he was friends with her ex Donovan, they are so down to earth and I am a fan of that when reading a book.
    Ella is still coming to terms with the awful things that she discovered Donovan had done to save his lifestyle and retreats inside herself until her family and Connor give her the reality check that she needs.
    I have read all of Karen's books and have loved each and every one!

    This is another romance novel by Karen Frances. If you like romance, fast paced stories then you'll enjoy this book. I do like Connor in this book, everyone should have a Connor in his life. Beware, this book ends on a cliffhanger. You'll need to pick up book 2 to see what happens next.

    This is my first book by the author and believe me it won’t be the last, I loved this story massively! It definitely is a attention grabber and keeps you hooked...the words flow through every page and you find yourself completely sucked in to the story...

    I loved Ella’s character and her trying to find herself after the trouble she has...Connor is just yummy and you can see the love he has for Ella!

    Definitely is a page turner and I can not wait to get sucked into book 2! Amazing 5 ⭐️ read for me.
