Nora’s life is about to get a rewrite…

Nora Hamilton knows the formula for love better than anyone. As a romance channel screenwriter, it’s her job. But when her too-good-to work husband leaves her and their two kids, Nora turns her marriage’s collapse into cash and writes the best script of her life. No one is more surprised than her when it’s picked up for the big screen and set to film on location at her 100-year-old-home. When former Sexiest Man Alive, Leo Vance, is cast as her ne’er do well husband Nora’s life will never be the same.

The morning after shooting wraps and the crew leaves, Nora finds Leo on her porch with a half-empty bottle of tequila and a proposition. He’ll pay a thousand dollars a day to stay for a week. The extra seven grand would give Nora breathing room, but it’s the need in his eyes that makes her say yes. Seven days: it’s the blink of an eye or an eternity depending on how you look at it. Enough time to fall in love. Enough time to break your heart.

Filled with warmth, wit, and wisdom, Nora Goes Off Script is the best kind of love story—the real kind where love is complicated by work, kids, and the emotional baggage that comes with life. For Nora and Leo, this kind of love is bigger than the big screen.

Great Story, narrator might be a robot?

Enjoyed this story but was so thrown off by the narration. She sounds computer generated, not a lot of inflection.

Swept away

This will be one of my favourite audiobooks this year. I was swept away by this book. I was a bit hesitant on the narrator at first as she seemed so matter of fact but that was Nora. Loved the narrator. She was perfect. And I loved this book and the surprise at the end.

Enjoyed by the beach

My husband and I listened attentively to this story while we were at the Sea everyday on the beach. It was a cute story to follow with its' ups and downs. The narration threw me off at first but completely understood her mannerism after a few paragraphs. Enjoyable!

Cute easy read

The story was okay. Cute little romance without much substance. I found the narration horrible.
