Winter Love Story

We couldn't make it through this movie. The male lead character is so charming and sweet but the female character - Cassie- is spoiled, anxious, nervous, petty and very immature. Women are so much better than this! Please write a character that isn't pouting because her room is smaller than someone else's.

Jen Lilley and Kevin McGarry play authors on a book tour together and of course romance ensues. He is a successful fantasy writer and she does romance. There is some witty banter along the way a bit more sparkling than the usual Hallmark romance.

This entertaining story follows the standard hallmark movie formula but manages to rise above it. Would've been much better if the female lead character hadn't been such an insecure spoiled brat that you wonder why any of the people around her even try. But the guy does and makes up for her shortcomings. It helps that the two actors have good chemistry, and that the male character is so likeable.

I really enjoy Hallmark movies for their gentle stories without bells and whistles. This movie was easy to follow with likable characters, except for Cassie. I found Cassie to be childish and annoying. I don't know if the character would have been more likeable played by another actress, but I have my doubts. I love when Hallmark feature animals and the addition of Bungee, the dog, was wonderful! I will watch this movie again and I give it a 7/10 only because Cassie got on my nerves.

As romance movies go, I gave this one high marks because both main characters are wonderful, together, but also very pleasing to the eye. There was eye candy for both of us, watching. At my age, it feels silly to say that, but there it is. What an adorably cute couple they made!!

I had fun watching this one. Jen and Kevin are very convincing and though I think most romance movies are hokey, this one wasn't.

I was especially surprised when I recognized so many of the locations in the movie as being my home town and not the US as the story indicates, so bonus points for that one. It would have been really cool to see them while they were here. I might actually have played fangirl for a day.

Keep 'em coming, you two!
