Grace, after her Honorable discharge is at lost when having to reajust to civilian life in a town she doesn't know. Luckily, after an accident near his house Joe welcomes her into his house. Not only do they get to know and like each other but also his whole family.
IT INVOLVES DOGS! And that was enough for me.
Both leads were great, as well as the supporting cast. The chemistry was amazing. My only complain is that there were a few of loose moments, and I was actually expecting a little more since this is a HM movies and mysteries one, which tend to be more complex.
I enjoyed it a lot. I will probably watch it again someday. This one is a keeper.

Marine Veteran and dog lover finds herself stranded and gets a welcome from the town she can't even imagine. Both leads are great Sean Faris as Joe and Eloise Mumford as Grace.
Enjoyable, worth a watch. Have tissues for the ending!

Eloise Mumford should be one of the Hallmark Queens by now. My initial reaction was that she was too beautiful to play a 6 year Marine vet, but she really captured the angst and confusion of her character.
Sean Faris' judge, on the other hand, was wildly unrealistic both in and out of the courtroom. I'm a lawyer and I've never seen a judge smile so much or behave so oddly in court. And, as other reviewers have noted, the townsfolk (and the staging) had a creepy Stepford/Body Snatchers feel.
There was also a line about how a local tree farm donates 1,000 trees to vets every year. That also seemed wildly unrealistic.
Still, there are some sweet moments and a great ending.

2nd time these two lead actors have played romantic leads - good chemistry.
I'm watching this movie for the second time in a week. I'm a married man, what can I say?
This is a highly enjoyable Hallmark movie. There is a lot of chemistry between the two main actors and the supporting cast is solid.
