Trailer Synopsis Cast

Romance novelist Liam Bradley (Dylan Bruce) has already found massive success with three books written under the pen name Gabriel August, but he's mysteriously unknown to his legions of readers. With his first book written as a way to heal after a broken relationship, Liam has slowly become disheartened with writing strictly for romantic fantasy, something evident to a sweet, but honest, journalist who reviews books, Sophie Atkinson (Amy Acker), whom he meets by chance on a plane. The two begin a tentative relationship in Sophie’s home town of Portland, Oregon, where Liam has come to find inspiration for his newest entry. Liam’s agent puts him on the spot with a long-planned reveal of Gabriel August’s true identity, but Sophie doesn’t know of his public persona. The longer Liam avoids telling her the truth, the deeper a hole he digs for himself. Will their romance survive once his true identity comes to light?

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

I only gave it 5/10, judging it as a general movie. But as a romantic comedy it scores much higher.It ticks off all the usual romantic comedy plot points, very competently and satisfyingly. Man meets woman, falls in love, unwilling concealments leads to misunderstandings and obstacles, everything gets worked out at end with help of friends and love, there are tears. Though thankfully there is no villain.It has likable (but not perfect) clean cut white characters, with token minority characters. It is shot in tourist brochure backgrounds.It stays within the bounds of modern western politically correct 'liberal' ideology, as such is outside bounds of realism. It preaches honesty, being true to yourself, reality and power of perfect love, etc. As such most of the dialogue is not worth any attention.However, i found movie genuinely funny at points, not unintentionally either.Another extra, it has Amy Acker, always a very good thing in any movie or TV. Other actors were not bad performers either, though some of the direction was bit clumsy.

This movie really surprised me. When I read the premise I was quite skeptical, believing that this movie would be another one of Hallmark's cheesy rom-coms (not that that's a bad thing!) but I quality of this movie was great!The lead actors were fantastic, particularly Amy Acker who delivered a great performance. I thought the writing of this movie was really great, as it didn't end in the cliché way I thought it would. I liked that the characters faced more strife and trouble in their relationship than the average Hallmark romance. 9/10 stars. You lost the last star in the finale moment. Just a teensy bit corny. Otherwise a great flick. Recommended.

First off, I have to say that this is one of my favorite Hallmark Channel movies ever, in my top 5. Amy Acker was very vulnerable in her character, but not unbelievable.Amy plays a young woman who meets a man on a flight and they become attracted to each other. She does not know that he is a bestselling author, while he has to listen to her unknowingly criticize his latest novel. She has been burned by public humiliation in a bad relationship before and his parents died at an early age, so they both are wary of trust and she vows never to date a famous person again.They date and fall in love, and in particular her three friends help her see that she shouldn't judge him based on someone else. Of course, she finds out who he really is in a very public way and she ends things. Even when he apologizes and it is clear she loves him, she refuses to be in the public eye.But in true Hallmark fashion, with a little help from her friends and his agent, they reunite and have their happy ending. This was a true pleasure to watch and a very believable portrayal of what a real relationship could be like. No doubt, it is well worth watching.

A Novel Romance with Amy Acker is a must see. All of us have been in relationships even marriages where some of what is revealed in this movie must be dealt with. I'd never heard of Amy before but if you're a fan you will love her in this film. All acting is superb but Amy's performance is stunning, yet vulnerable, beautiful, charming, witty, and sweet. A realistic love story with enchanting sweet romance that only Amy could portray but all can relate to. I must admit I've already viewed it more than once. I'm a new fan of Amy's thanks to her in this movie. Man or woman have a glass of wine sit back and enjoy the movie and then think about encounters in your past or maybe one you would like to have in the future! Fun, very sweet, very romantic and very enjoyable . . . a must see!!
