      The Romance Lover’s Guide to Movie Must-Sees

      If you adore Sleepless in Seattle and Pride and Prejudice and The Avengers, then you want a movie guide aimed at women like you. Women who enjoy romances and more! You like both a good kiss and a good knockout and refuse to be categorized—but you wish someone like you would recommend movies.

      Which brings Mills & Boon author and professional movie critic Heidi Rice to the rescue. Whether it’s nonstop action with a little heart ’n’ soul, sweetly adorable cartoons, a classic black-and-white screwball comedy or that under-the-radar flick that you never knew you were missing, Heidi Rice will lead you through her must-sees and why you will also enjoy them. From Ryan Gosling’s six-pack to that iconic orgasm sandwich delivered by Meg Ryan, right up to the double whammy of hotties in Prisoners (Gyllenhaal and Jackman)—there’s a little something for everyone.

      And a little something for that teenager inside you who’s ready to watch “nekkid” man-candy and spend two hours falling in love all over again….

      Dedication

      To my Mum and Dad—who love the movies almost as much as me, and loved each other even more. Xx

      Modern Tempted author and film journalist Heidi Rice indulges her inner chick-flick bitch with her take on some of the greatest romantic movies of all time, some movies which boast wonderful touchy-feely moments and a few others that you may never have heard of but will soon wish you had.

      Whether you’re looking to have a fabulous Girls’ Night In, planning to drag your other half to a darkened cinema on a secret mission to ogle Ryan Gosling’s nekkid pecs, stuck indoors with bored children on a rainy day, or simply trying to cajole your teenage sons into watching something with a little heart and soul alongside the blood, sweat and firepower… Have no fear; Heidi is here to celebrate what women want in a great movie experience. So if it be Hugh’s sculpted abs gilded by campfire light, Rhett and Scarlett bickering their way through the American Civil War, Meryl cooking boeuf bourguignon (and Alec Baldwin) to within an inch of their lives or Bradley and Jennifer learning to tap-dance, badly, this is so the movie guide for you.
