This Hallmark romance, like many, is formulaic, which is okay. We expect some of that from their homey homilies on hometown hegemony over metropolitan mores.
In this one, you can expect: A bakery. Check. A smalltown girl. Check. Her initial resistance to his charms. Check. Her gradual softening. Check. A legend about an item bringing true love. Check. Someone longing for a big promotion. Check.
The bakery is run by Lucy Sweet (Eloise Mumford). At the beginning of the story, she is rather sour, despite her name. And her recalcitrance when it comes to love lasts longer than most Hallmark heroines, but the film does have a satisfying ending. Hang in there for the emotional payoff.
