Book Description:
A Hollywood Mystery. An Unexpected Romance. A Chance to Reinvent Herself.
When entertainment journalist Sol Novo loses her job, she never imagined it would lead her to a theft investigation, a charming detective, and a journey of self-discovery.
Falsely accused of stealing a screenplay, Sol teams up with the irresistibly handsome Luke Contadino to clear her name. But the private investigator is as charming as he is distracting. Sparks fly as they navigate the glamorous world of Hollywood, chasing clues and fighting their growing attraction.
From London to Barcelona to Los Angeles, Sol's quest for truth becomes a whirlwind adventure. Can she uncover the real thief and find love along the way?
Witty banter, sizzling chemistry, and a Hollywood mystery that reveals the truth behind the glitz. Cluelessly Unscripted is a must-read for anyone who's ever wondered what really goes on behind the scenes.

Cluelessly Unscripted is an entertaining and fast-paced cozy mystery whodunit tale told in the third person narrative, that has enough quirky characters, witty banter and humor, romance, and drama that keeps the reader engaged in following Sol and Luke's investigative adventure.
The story unfolds with a wonderful balance of mystery and romance that easily kept me guessing. The reader follows Sol and Luke as they put the pieces of the puzzle together to clear her name and find the identity of the thief, while their flirty banter develops into an attraction that is undeniable. From London to Barcelona to Los Angeles, Sol and Luke's investigative adventures and blossoming romance will keep the reader entertained. I would be remiss if I didn't mention that I loved the behind-the-scenes information into the Hollywood entertainment industry.
Cluelessly Unscripted is an entertaining story that cozy mystery fans will enjoy reading!
RATING: 4 STARS
About The Author
Patricia Puentes is a Barcelona native, expat, and recovering entertainment journalist who has been calling California home for more than 15 years. She can tell many funny (or just plain surreal) stories about the frequent times she has interviewed celebrities. But she mostly gets wowed by writers—and doggies.
She writes romance mysteries with a Hollywood setting and where the leads actually hook up early. She has a soft spot for independent heroines who can be a tad clueless, and for sweet lead detectives.
She lives in Oakland, California, with her romantic partner and their rambunctious Border Collie, Boira (aka PeluchÃn diabólico).
