Synopsis
A Novel Romance (2015) is a breezy rom-com you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Mark Griffiths and starring Amy Acker and Dylan Bruce. Liam Bradley writes hit romance novels under the pen name Gabriel August, yet not one of his many devoted readers knows what he actually looks like.
Burned out on writing fantasies to order, Liam slips into Portland incognito to chase a fresh idea. On the flight he meets Sophie, a sharp, kind-hearted journalist who happens to review books — and who keeps tearing Gabriel August's novels apart in print. They fall for each other fast, but the secret keeps growing teeth: his agent has lined up a big public unveiling of the author's identity, and every day Liam stays quiet digs the hole deeper.
It's a slight, good-natured story about a double life and a half-truth that won't keep, carried mostly by Acker's easy charm. A fine pick for a low-stakes night in. Stream A Novel Romance (2015) online on iFILM.
