Landing a spot
on OprahDaily.com’s list of the Most Anticipated Romance Novels of 2022 with
her Bethany House debut, In Search of a Prince, author Toni Shiloh continues
to make waves in literary spheres. Praised for featuring “dynamic Black
characters” (Library Journal) in her stories and named the inaugural
winner of the Christy Amplify Award for raising up BIPOC voices in Christian fiction,
Shiloh’s upward momentum continues as she launches a dazzling rom-com series
for fans of the genre with The Love Script.
About the story:
In a world of glitz and glam, authenticity is
hard to find.
Hollywood hair stylist Nevaeh Richards loves
making those in the spotlight shine but prefers the anonymity of staying behind
her stylist chair, where no one notices her. But when a photo of Nevaeh and
Hollywood heartthrob Lamont Booker goes viral for all the wrong reasons, her
quiet life becomes the number-one trending topic.
Lamont Booker’s bold faith has gained him a
platform, and the authenticity of his faith is well-known . . . until the
tabloids cause the world to question everything he claims to be. With his
reputation on the line, he finds himself hearing out his agent’s push for a
fake relationship—something he never thought he’d consider in a million years.
With their careers at risk, Nevaeh and Lamont
have to convince the world that their scripted romance is more than just an
act. But when fake seems to turn into something real, can Nevaeh trust her
heart in a world where nothing is ever as it seems?
Toni Shiloh dazzles in this irresistible
red-carpet romance with spotlight-stealing laughter, faith, and a happily ever
after.
This novel is the first book in your new Love in the Spotlight series. What do readers have to look
forward to in this series? I’m so excited about
this series. You’ll get real-to-life characters who are thrust into the
spotlight. In the world of internet famous, these books will show how hard it
is to navigate fame, faith, and love.
Since The Love Script takes place in the glitz and glamour of Hollywood,
what unique challenges do your characters Nevaeh and Lamont face? Nevaeh and Lamont are living a fish-bowl life. Their every move seems
to be tracked on social media, and hashtags are created just to keep up with their
romance. Nevaeh has a hard time figuring out what’s real and what’s not.
Whereas Lamont has to face the threat of being cancelled and trusting in God’s
plan.
Can you tell us a little bit more about Neveah and Lamont? Anything
special that readers should know? Hmm,
readers should know that Nevaeh cracks jokes when nervous. That she’s plus-size
but refuses to be defined by her curves. That she has a dream and is doing her
best to see it come to fruition. As for Lamont, readers should know he loves
his devotional time with the Lord. That he became famous via YouTube. That he
has two guy friends who make appearances throughout the book and bring in some
lighthearted moments.
Did you learn anything interesting while researching for this book? Yes! There are so many tidbits I found interesting and wanted to
incorporate into the story if possible. For instance, a lot of people in LA
don’t like to travel outside their neighborhood. Considering I knew my
characters would be going here and there, I tried to mix the real with the
fictional.
What aspect of the story did you enjoy writing the most? The text conversations with Lamont and his two guy friends. I am not
going to lie, I cracked myself up. My husband thought it was strange every time
I laughed since I was the creator of the story.
What themes present themselves to readers in The Love Script? You’ll find reality vs perception, letting God defend you or devising
your own plans, what it means to truly worship God, and more!
