I’ve watched him for years.
Every role.
Every episode.
He was every woman’s fantasy.
The famous actor.
Gorgeous.
Charming.
Perfection.
Unattainable.
Until he showed up at my front door.
Wanting something from me.
Something I wasn’t sure I could ever give.
It wasn’t safe outside my bubble.
So, I let him inside instead.
All the way in.
And once he was there,
I wanted to keep him.
Even if that meant risking everything.
My safety.
My anonymity.
Even my heart.
He thought he knew how the story would play out.
But I was taking our love off script.

First time reading anything by this author and will definitely will not be my last. Off Script will have you grinning from ear to ear, wanting crazy drink concoctions and playing a role in ‘Savages’. Kaiti and Gavin hit it out of the park. Their chemistry and attraction were insanely hot. And Kaiti’s quick banter will have many LOL moments through the whole read.
Kaiti was at the right place at the wrong time. She definitely knows how to say no when asked to read a part in Savages. Her sense of humor is infectious. But when her celebrity crush knocks on her door, she’s not only awestruck but also intrigued. With having anxiety issues, she is wary to read a role with Gavin. In his presence, she’s comfortable and relaxed. Their friendship is strong and tend lean on each other while on the set production. With texts, gifs and quiet moments together, they cannot ignore the pull. Their passion is wild and cannot get enough of each other. But with every tv series, drama is always on the set. Not everyone is happy with the two lovebirds. And when one of the actors leaks a video because they are threatened by Kaiti’s role and their relationship, old wounds open up. Gavin is by her side every step of the way. And if that means walking away from the show, then so be it.
I truly enjoyed Off Script. The characters flowed and story well written. I enjoyed the supporting characters, especially her best friend. I can’t wait for more.

EXCERPT
“Longest. Day. Ever,” I murmured as I searched for a vending machine on my way out the door. Gavin was only a few steps behind me and his responding chuckle caused me to flip him off over my shoulder.
“I warned you, new girl.” His tone was mocking. The crew hadn’t been quick to remember my name so half of them had referred to me as ‘new girl’ all day, saying it like they genuinely thought it was my name.
“Bite me, Hollywood.”
“No more Mister?”
I shook my head, making a beeline for the bank of vending machines by the elevators. “Nope. I’ve lost all respect for you today, so you’re just plain Hollywood now.”
“Your words have the power to wound, and you’ve cut me deep.” He was pouring on the sarcasm.
“Not my fault you flubbed your lines almost as much as me. So professional of you.”
I stopped at one of the machines and started plunking in quarters, not caring what it spat out as long as it was cold and loaded with caffeine.
Gavin moved to lean against the humming machine, tilting his body at an angle and smiling that damn radiant smile of his. “We all have off days; today was one of mine.”
I ignored him until half of my ice-cold beverage was consumed, then gave him my attention, squinting. “So, you’re trying to tell me it usually goes a lot smoother than that for you?”
“I rarely mess up. Sure, we all have those awkward moments where something in the script sounds dirtier than it’s meant to or a squeaky leather couch makes an unsavory noise and we all break character to laugh, but that’s about it.”
“Why today, then?” I felt my whole face flush as an idea hit me. “Oh shit, was I so bad it distracted you and made you mess up?” Dear Lord, kill me now.
“Of course not. You were great.” He stepped over and threw an arm around my shoulders, turning us toward the elevators. “I told you. It was just one of those days—no one’s fault but my own.”
He walked me to my car and held the door open as I folded myself into the seat with an exhausted groan.
“See you in the morning, Kaiti girl,” he said, mixing my actual name with part of my new nickname in a way that I really liked. Or maybe it was the way it sounded coming from him.
“Good night, Gavin. Thanks for making today as stress-free as possible. I don’t even want to think about how it would have gone without you looking out for me.”
“That’s what friends are for.” He closed the door with a soft click and turned to leave as I hurried to roll down the window.
“Hey, Hollywood?”
“Yeah?” He spun back to face me.
“Do friends also mess up their lines on purpose so their nervous, less-talented friend doesn’t feel like a dolt in front of everyone?”
He gave me a crooked smile. “Are you saying you messed up on purpose? For me?” He pointed to his chest. “Well, that was awfully sweet of you, Kaiti. Thanks for looking out.”
He walked away before I could respond.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Anna Paige is the author of the Broken series; Broken Ground, Flawlessly Broken, and All the Broken Pieces, as well as Chasing Kade, the first installment in the Thrill of the Chase series and Off Script — a brand new standalone, due out in December 2017.
She lives in a rural town in North Carolina where the only activity is the rhythmic color change of the solitary stoplight and a very real threat of being carried away by mosquitoes. The only alternative to terminal boredom is writing, making life interesting if only on the page.
Anna is happily married, with one amazing son and a pair of hilarious pets. When she’s not writing, she’s trying to make a dent in her TBR pile. Given that she’s constantly adding new titles to the list, the chances of her ever finishing are slim.
And she’s completely fine with that.
