This is one of the best Hallmark holiday romances. All of the characters are very likable, and the story is well written.
Kimberley Sustad plays the part of Ceci, a photographer who recently lost her father. When a mysterious motorcyclist crashes near her family's property, she goes to his rescue. Mark Ghanime plays Sam, the motorcyclist who ends up in the hospital, wondering who his anonymous benefactor was. As it turns out, this is a story with plenty of mysteries.
Ceci has a ready wit. She spends time with Sam as he recuperates, and they exchange stories about their lives. He finds himself becoming more involved in the community, which helps him overcome some emotional issues. In the end, this film becomes a tearjerker in the best possible way, a life-affirming way. However, there is plenty of humor along the way, and some colorful characters (including a dog) keep things light.

Sustad is the source of this drama gold if you ask me. Just about every movie I've seen her in is a winner. I don't know if that's dumb luck, or she has some special connections with one of the big wigs, or she's just that good. I am always ready for a fun time with her characters. Although most of her personalities are similar, they have some minor nuances that she likes to surprise us with now and then. Her character in this film is a very down-to-earth woman who misses her dad something awful, he died recently. Her stepmother is the only person she has left, and their relationship was never a close one.
She has a bestie who helps her through the trials, but the people she meets, a man and his cousin, these become new and wonderful friends. The whole town supports her, they keep her little secret because of a mystery behind a man on a motorcycle. He crashes into some trees, gets injured and she rescues him, but why is he there, what does he want? She hides her identity from him in order to maintain a low key surveillance operation. All these factors come together to make this a very rich story, full of entertainment and very interesting personalities. What an amazing movie.

Loved this movie. Definitely one of this season's best! I really enjoyed the storyline and the suspense and humour was really well delivered by both actors. It was really amazing to see that as the relationship progressed the chemistry between the two actors was bouncing off the screen. As the last scene came along I truly felt that there was definitely more to see. You truly fall in love with this couple and are rooting for them to be together from the beginning to the end of the movie. One of those movies that you want to watch again and really hoping for a second part. It's a winner! A must see this season, don't miss it!
Kimberly and her partner are very good together Though I never understand why most hallmark male actors never shave. He's a good actor but please take a shave. The story is original and the scenery was beautiful Here again Hallmark spared no expense with the location and the supporting cast. I felt this was a real town and community The people seemed so real and oh the dog was a great addition. Here again a good old fasho mystery with a rom com to boot. The ending was def a surprise and plausible I liked the way it all came together Would like to see more of these mysteries and a simple plot. I do not like the mysteries that have so many twists and turns that never makes sense All in all a good job.
I have seen a ton of Hallmark movies. To me this is one of the if not the best ever. The writing is brilliant, on spot, funny and emotional. So is the acting. Excellent. It's upbeat with positivity. Cinematography is also fantastic. No plot spoilers here. It's somewhat different from the standard Hallmark predictable formula. If you want an enjoyable good time with a movie I totally recommend this one. Even the dog is great. So are the lead stars as well as the rest of the cast. This movie has a refreshingly different feel to it. It's well produced, directed, acted, and photographed. Hope you enjoy it as mych as I did.
