The two lead characters would make the most dull couple imaginable. If they went on a first date, I am certain they would end it with a handshake. It's a decidedly unromantic romance movie. If you squint hard enough, you might be able to see one or two forced sparks fly, but I almost want to talk them out of it rather than cheer them on. I would especially want to know from Amber what she sees in Connor.
That said, the overarching plot and background scenery keep this movie watchable. I thought the child actor did a good job in her role, and her interactions with the leads were much better than is usual in this genre.

A romance movie that isn't sickly sweet and formulaic. The script is better than many and the dialog is natural, not formulaic and stylized. The two leads are good as are the rest of the cast. Don't know where it was filmed, I assume Aruba which is beautiful.
If you have something else better to do, just skip this. The acting is mediocre and no chemistry among the actors. Character development is horrible but the landscape scenaries are awesome.
Absolutely LOVE Sashleigha Hightower in everything she is in. It is a really personal story line and all the actors were very believeable in their deliverance. Sashleigha and the little girl were just adorable and chemistry was very authentic, Very personable movie. The hurt experienced by the male lead is real and transfers off the screen really nice. Although the storyline has been recycled dozens of times, their relationship grew and progressed in a great way. Really like Shae. Robins is another strong character in the movie and she is strong in most of her movies as well, really enjoy her also. Sashleigha is such an authentic actress in all her roles, I believe, because she is a phenomenal mother in real life. She is very genuine in her roles because she is very genuine in real life.
It has a good premise which flings the couple together, but they don't gel and it's only Hallmark quick-fixit scriptglue that joins them together at the end.
While it's realistic that Connor is awkward about how to relate to a beautiful live-in help (and where does a responsible employer draw the line?) McConnell delivers a one-note awkward wooden, work-nerd characterisation throughout - what Sashleigha is supposed to see in him is beyond me (and we won't explore the 20 year age gap between the actors.) And if after all the years he's been working in alternative energy, the fact that he hasn't worked out how to sell his product to a reluctant public suggests he's a man of little imagination. No wonder his wife left him!
It's like watching a tip-top table tennis player try to make a match with a guy holding a tennis racquet stuck on the baseline - one hopes that Sashleigha has a more lively sparring partner in her next love-match!

- TriviaThe Quadrikiri cave and the neighboring caves used to have Indian drawings on the cave walls. In the 1950's (not sure which year) a zealous American photographer wanted to take a picture of these drawings, but thought the drawing were to vague. So he applied some cleaning fluid to expose the drawings more, but at the end it damaged the drawings. Better leave it to professionals to do it :-(
- GoofsAmber told Conner that she and Macey stopped by the wind turbines and then asked Conner to come along to see the gold mill ruins. After the gold mill ruins the car broke down. Conner made Amber dinner and she told him again that they drove by the wind turbines. He acted surprised.
