There were many ups and downs, but romance is seldom easy and Blount had no intention of painting a beautiful picture without going though some rough drafts. Patty Blount really pulled out every heart racing, heart stopping and heart filling moment anyone could ever want. His Touch was a touching and emotional read. They swept through him like a god damn tornado, leaving destruction in its wake. He sat there, cursing himself for letting his emotions escape their locks. He especially couldn't help anybody with a kid.

Like calling the Mona Lisa a picture of some woman.

Calling it a kiss seemed insulting somehow. If that was insane, Kara wouldn't trade a second of it. Nadia was a bright, beautiful, perfect little girl who ruled her world with pudgy little hands and sticky kisses.

Doesn’t he know being a single mom is a lot harder than it seems?! But when baby Nadia has trouble breathing one night, Kara’s frantic 911 call brings that same intense first responder right to her door… This film ends up asking some real questions about helping versus taking over, what you owe to your family and your friendships, and living your life for and through other people instead of for yourself.When a strikingly handsome paramedic finds Kara Larsen‘s lost toddler, only to lecture her for failing to mind her child, Kara is embarrassed and relieved she’ll never have to deal with him again… no matter how good looking he is. Hers is all on screen while his is just a brief grumpy montage with no particular motivation except enough time passes that he's not mad any more. The romance is hard won & the characters both have some growing up to do. The second-half turns into a much deeper movie in the first half was setting up (though not well), which may be partly responsible for all the bad reviews. The decorations are a bit over the top everywhere but that's just par for the Christmas movie scene. The widowed mom looks like a good age for a widowed mom. But it's what you expect in romance, right? I like that the people look like real people and the houses look like real family houses, and the shop (the fishing part, not the Christmas side) looks like a real shop. He's rude & she's a people pleaser it's not a good look. He dislikes romance, she dreams of the perfect wedding, he can't stand Christmas, she loves it, in short, they don't like each other. Her brother is home for his Christmas wedding, and he brings his college roommate along to be best man. Small town, works at a fishing shop, dreams of travel and finding her perfect match. Holly Everton has watched her great aunt make perfect matches for people all her life.
