This is one of the worse films in its category.
The story is bad and unrealistic. The characters are bland. The actors are wooden, unattractive and slightly annoying.
Take a long bath, a walk, reorganise a closet or sleep. It would be a much better use of that time.
Plot summary
Travel blogger Cara Durant has collated all her travel experiences into her first novel centered on the theme of female empowerment. She is excited that the publishers have accepted her manuscript, less excited about the changes her editor, Marianne Cooper, wants her to make, namely to add an element of romance for the lead character. Regardless, with the advance in hand, Cara returns to her small hometown of Windfields to do what she's wanted to do since she was a child: purchase the big house on the riverfront that she's always admired, the house which will be her sanctuary to do her writing. Her quiet is literally interrupted when a construction crew sets up next to her property, the city, unknown to her or most people in town, having OKed the construction of a hydroelectric dam located within spitting distance of her house. Her initial ire is directed toward the face of PowerGen, the power company, that face being the lead construction engineer Riley Evans, but she comes to the realization than just vocally protesting, a better tact would be to outline how the dam in that location would ultimately lead to the ruin of the town, and also, with Riley's help, to find a better alternate location for the dam that would still serve the needs of the community. Riley agrees at least to investigate the possibilities with her. In spending time together, a romance seems to be burgeoning between them, it which Cara quietly uses as the basis for the romance in her novel. What happens between them and if there is a happy ending for her novel's lead character is what role Riley plays in whatever happens with the dam.—Huggo

good, but no surprises.
When cara (tammy gillis) finally buys the big house on the river in her hometown, she discovers that a large dam is being built right next to her house. Which will also interfere with the favorite, summer tourist spots. So she confronts riley (morgan jones),the cute foreman on the project and searches for a site that will work just as well. It's very cute and well done, in hallmark channel style. Adversarial couple tries to find common ground to resolve some issue. Can they iron out their differences, where-ever the construction is? Directed by sean cisterna, who already has six new films in production. Story by kate pregnell. It's a comfort film, like a cup of hot chocolate.

Music Guidelines
I have watched a few of the movies with this particular film composer. I find that his sound tracks are insipid, filled with too many triad arpeggiations, root position chords, and that the music detracts from the movie. The background feels like listening to the Heart and Soul accompaniment or an omnichord strumming, and there is little attention paid to creating melodies and giving the music some direction. There does not seem to be a proper relationship between the music and the action in the movie and the music is distracting. I know that this composer can do better and I would like to see him compose more inspired music for films. I am not just talking about this film but other films I have seen where he has composed the music. I have a doctorate in music so I do have background in this area.
