This could have been a much better movie, but what was the casting department thinking? Taylor is turning 40 and I saw Kanoa recently in a show playing a teenager. I am all for older ladies finding love with younger men but I don't think that was Hallmark's intention. Perhaps they think we won't notice. This was also done in Love in Zion and again, it spoiled the movie. The setting here was lovely, and some environmental concerns were included in the story, but the movie just did not work with this pairing. Taylor deserves better. She is a popular female lead and always good in her roles. I wish they had made more of the Ruby Herring series. Those were great and Taylor was paired with the very handsome (and age appropriate) Steven Huszar. Their connection and chemistry was obvious in that series, but not evident at all in this movie. And Kanoa will be a great addition to the younger male leads but let's pair him with a believable partner. This won't be on my "watch again" list.
