Act Like You Love Me by Cindi Madsen is a sweet and fun drama, in more ways than one.  A sequel to Falling for Her Fiance, this worked just fine on its own.  Oh, the things that simple, well-meaning, but wrong, advice can cause!Brynn is a drama geek, a book geek, just an all around geek, and she has no problem showing off her geekiness.  But, its cost her in the past and it's costing her now in the relationship department.  When her high school crush Sawyer ends up back in town, her brother gives her some advice:  "Don't be yourself.  Try to hide at least some of yourself."  And so, she does.But, in the meantime, Sawyer doesn't recognize her; she's let him assume she's someone she's not; and the romance seems to be clicking on all cylinders.  But that can't last and eventually, her half truths will come out, and do they ever, in spectacular fashion.What happens when two people just want something real and honest and neither have been 100% honest with the other?  A whole lot of misunderstanding and hurt, of course.  After all, you have to work at love.It's a cute book, great for a summer beach read, with undertones of Twelfth Night or The Tempest, with the interesting identity discussion.  I thought it was a lot of fun to read and really recommend it.RATING: 3Heat Rating:  MildREVIEWED BY: Monique Neaves
