I can't believe I didn't rate this yet as I read this months ago...Anyway, R.L. Mathewson is my fave romance/chick lit author as she manages to get the perfect amount of hot/swoony/fun in all her books and not one of her books has deceived me so far.A Humble Heart is no exception: it deals with Dana, who has two lovely kids and a broken marriage and decides to take matters into her own two hands, shape up and get her books published. She becomes a success overnight and she is offered to have her book debut turned into a movie. With her favorite actor cast as the main character - which is obviously the beginning of the swoonful lovestory, paved with the problems that arise when 2 famous people date: paparazzi's and need for protection.This book was quite long, but good and kind of suspenseful. I just wasn't 100% convinced of its reality factor. The get together of the two stars was a bit too easy to me. From one day to the other, the guy falls in love with the girl and right away he acts like a father to Dana's children. Sounds a bit too easy. And the peripetia and "problems" as I called them, seemed a bit far-fetched. But well, it is fiction, isn't it?And it's rather nice to read about two worlds who collide and how adjustments have to be made while the love grows...Oh by the way, since this is a belated review, I BADLY advise you to read "A Reclusive Heart", which is part 2 of these series but which could be read as a standalone. Believe me, this book is red hot and one of my all-time faves. It's way better than this (and that being said, this one isn't bad at all).
