Rueben's Ramblings

The Hallmark Channel movie Love By the Book will debut on January 24 at 9 PM.

After a childhood filled with reading fairytales, bookstore owner Emma (Leah Renee from Satisfaction) believes in handsome princes and happily ever afters. Unlike her happily married co-worker Marilyn (veteran actress Stefanie Powers), Emma has yet to be swept away by her own prince charming. Trying to both find an idyllic love life and impress her store’s investor, Frank (John Schneider), Emma balances time dating romantic suitor Landon (Ryan Bittle from All My Children) and time at her store with Frank’s nettlesome son, Eric (Kristopher Turner from Saving Hope). Although Landon demonstrates real knight and shining armor potential with his romantic overtures, he doesn’t understand her priorities or support her passions like Eric does. As Emma weighs fairytale courtship against genuine commitment, she learns that real love has more layers than storybook romances.

Here is a trailer for Love By the Book.
