Hallmark knows pretty well how to satisfy its audience. I would love to see movies like these coming regularly. The characters were so sweet and humble. Everything was so well put. And the chosen landscapes were just amazing. It was a pleasure watching this & it was worth the time.

6.4 stars.

This film has a lot of potential, but it's too frustrating for me to give it a high score. The lead female starts a web of lies that cannot be untangled. It's not a new plot, but it is tricky.

Sometimes a movie with an intricate network of half-truths and charades can be entertaining, but this one became more of a train wreck than a well oiled machine.

As the story goes, she is attempting to advance her career, but the lies are only serving to destroy it. There are too many odd interactions between her and the ex-boyfriend as well as the new boyfriend. The lawyer is somewhat of a strange city boy and the billionaire is also a strange person. None of these personalities seem to fit the characters being portrayed.

The whole movie is out of sorts and doesn't line up. The fact that the new boyfriend pretends to be someone he's not just adds insult to injury and more awkwardness to an already unbalanced story.

I felt uneasy, and wasn't enjoying the experience after a while. This film is in no way convincing and feels like it was thrown together, and the actors had to make do with a broken script.

Not a film I would recommend, but maybe you'll love it. Obviously there are some people out there that like this movie a lot, but I don't know why.

A twist on the popular Hallmark "mistaken identity" trope featuring British actress Poppy Drayton (who is gorgeous) and Chicago Fire alum Steven R. McQueen.

I don't think McQueen and Drayton have ever starred in a Hallmark movie before. Their debut is impressive, their chemistry obvious from the very beginning. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that they're going to end up together - this is, after all, Hallmark, where happy ever afters are are a fait acompli - but it's fun watching them get there.

Beautifully shot in the picturesque Louisiana countryside, with a very good supporting cast including country music legend Kix Brooks of Brooks and Dunn fame and Mary Margaret-Humes, who I remember first seeing in Dawson's Creek. She is a solid actress and Brooks does a good job, too, even getting a chance to sing a song. Of course.

A Hallmark winner.

I enjoyed this one. Loved that the leads were not the regular Hallmark actors. These two - Poppy Drayton and Steven R. McQueen - were very refreshing. Their relationship was also age appropriate. Keep more of these coming Hallmark!

A film in which the crumbs from different references are the best thing. Because, without be boring or bad, it is a Hallmark serie product. You know each step. And, sure, you hope be little different by yours expectations. But... . The couple made by Steven R. McQueen and Poppy Drayton is nice but not real convincing. Katrina Norman reminds a sort of Audrey Hepburn. Mary - Margaret Humes does her best and Vernee Watson ,William Shockley are good pillars for a poor story . So, choices, love, pretext for fake twists .
