I read Nicole Knepper's review of Love Like the Movies on her blog, Moms Who Drink and Swear (which, by the way, is both side-splittingly funny and also heartfelt) and knew immediately that I had to buy and read this book.Love Like the Movies is about a woman, Kensington, who adores romantic comedies.  She knows all the classics line-for- line (such as Sleepless in Seattle, Say Anything, You've Got Mail, etc) and dreams of being in passionate, crazy, impulsive love, the kind of love like in the movies.Kensington is engaged to Bradley, happily, or so she thinks, until her ex, Shane shows up.  Shane and Kensi embark on a quest to live out ten great movie moments (unbelievably, Kensi does this for her job) and in the process, Kensi becomes torn between the two men.What I loved about this book was the humor, the romance, and of course, all the movie references.  I love romantic comedies as well, and to read about a fellow aficionado living out the best movie moments, well, that was just pure fun!  A notable fact is that Love Like the Movies is an adult book but does not have any bedroom scenes, only one reference.I liked that Van Tiem keeps this a clean read---it just added to the sweetness and lightness of the entire story.  I read this book in a day and I was sad when it ended.  It was just fun, pure and simple!
