My Rating:

My Thoughts:

I have always liked Maggie Lawson as an actress and in this movie just made me like her even more. This is my first movie with Sam Page but he is a great actor and I can’t wait to see more from him in the future. We also had two couples in this movie, and I thought all of the actors and actresses were believable.

Maggie’s portrayal of Jamie Vaughn is perfect especially with trying to figure out a way to save her bookstore called True Love Book and Café even if that means making Sawyer doubt his decision regarding tearing down the business district in their home town.

Jamie and Sawyer were charming together, and the actors made me believe that they were falling in love with each other all over again. That is a great thing as I got that warm fuzzy feeling from watching the story unfold.

I adored the Valentines from former customers of the books store, and the letters from the original owners of the book store were so sweet; they made such a fabulous addition to the story. This movie was like three romances wrapped up in one.

I highly recommend this movie to all you sappy romantics out there, myself included.
