🌼 "Blind Date Book Club" -- this was an enjoyable family-friendly watch. :-) ~Alicia

🌼 Blind Date Book Club was family-friendly as well, thankfully. It was a cute movie. ~laura

🌼 We did watch "Blind Date Book Club" and I have to say my husband and I absolutely loved it! It was cute, fun, sweet and uplifting. It was refreshing to see a movie that was not overly contrived and introduced some elements that weren't predictable. Erin and Robert had nice chemistry. Nothing felt forced. I liked how the secrets were unveiled early as well as them sharing a sweet kiss half-way through the movie. I liked everything about this lovely and endearing movie. :-) I am still smiling..... ~Joan

Movie Reviews:

🌼 I watched the new film on Hallmark Movies Now titled "Legend of the Lost Locket" featuring some cast from WCTH and other familiar faces. It was such a nostalgic watch, very much reminded me of Hallmark the way it was many years ago. Family friendly and the best Hallmark film I have seen in a long time. ~Laura

🌼 We really enjoyed "Legend of the Lost Locket". It was a very nice movie. Great cast. Intriguing storyline although I figured out quickly who was lurking in the shadows. I did enjoy the surprises that were revealed along the way. Natasha and Viv were good together. You can tell they have worked together, for awhile, because they had natural believable chemistry. I also like the B & B owner. It was fun seeing all of the WCTH people! And of course, it was also fun seeing one of our Signed, Sealed and Delivered folks as well as Kevin O'Grady! All in all a very nice movie :-) ~Joan

🌼 Legend of The Lost Locket was good. Family friendly and just enough suspense to keep the story going...plus a little romance too! ~Joyce in Carolina

🌼 Legend of the Lost Locket is family friendly about an antique expert named Amelia searches for a long-lost locket that promises to bring the wearer true love & finds herself in conflict with, but also attract to, the town sheriff named Marcus. Mayor called it Town of True Love. Amelia mentions James Robert Dudley & Queen Elizabeth ~Anonymous

🌼 We watched The Legend of the Lost Locket last night and really enjoyed it! If there was a way to contact Hallmark, I would suggest that it could be the first in a series. Every "cozy mystery" doesn't have to involve a murder, tracking down the story behind antiques could make for an interesting series too! ~Anonymous

Movie Reviews:

🌼 I got to watch Falling in Love With Niagara early, and I LOVED it!! –Maria

🌼 Aw! "Falling in Love in Niagara' was super cute. I liked Jocelyn and Dan together. Amazing chemistry! I also enjoyed the sister and the co-worker. Of course, there were some contrived moments but over-all my husband and I enjoyed the movie. ~Joan

🌼 Falling in Love in Niagara is family friendly about when her fiancé named Jason leaves her right before the wedding, Madeline goes to Niagara Falls to honeymoon without him. She soon finds new love named Mike while reconnecting with her adventurous side ~Anonymous

🌼 Falling in Love in Niagara - I wanted to like this one but couldn't. Acting was very cringy, at least in the first 20 minutes I've seen. And the fact that it immediately reminded me of another 3 similiar Hallmark movies didn't help either. Dan is one of my favorite Hallmark actors and i was looking forward to this movie but sadly, i didn't like it. ~Anonymous

Hannah leans on her friends and family to collect the breadcrumbs of foul play and put them together, and meets a different side of law and order when Lake Eden's prosecuting attorney Chad Norton (Webster) enters her life.

Movie Reviews:

🔎🍎 The new Hannah Swensen is family-friendly and enjoyable. Victor Webster did a good job, though it is sad that Mike was gone. Both her sister and Norman were present as well. ~laura

🔎🍎 One Bad Apple; Hannah Swenson Mystery Review

This one was alright. It was family friendly and clean. Mystery ok, not the best. I don't know why Victor Webster was on the cover though, he was kinda dull and was more in the background. I would hope to see her with Norman on the cover one day. He's always there for her. Her mother being a PI was corny, but at least it brought the Swenson women together. ~Abigail

🔎🍎 My husband and I just finished watching the new Hannah Swensen movie. We thought it was just okay. Her mother was completely over the top. I did not feel Victor or Alison had any chemistry. I like them both separately but honestly not together. It may be just me but I even felt their chemistry wasn't good in the Wedding Veil series either. Also, I thought the mystery was weak. We figured it out really early on. This movie left me feeling cold. I miss Cameron! ~Joan

Storyline: Goldy Berry's Medieval feast at Hyde Castle gets interrupted by a murder. She teams up with Detective Shultz to solve the mystery before the murderer strikes again.

Movie Reviews:

🔎❤ Curious Caterer: Foiled Plans Review...

I could not wait to review it. My time is 12:25 am! I promise to go to bed right after!! Haha ;) I absolutely LOVED this one!!! I don't want to give to much away, because it was really good. I liked how there was no "don't interfere in the investigation" speech. All the cops respected my, appreciated and wanted Goldie's help. And that was a nice change.

The young cop was cute, very young ;) and I loved the scene when Tom takes away Goldie's scone and eats it himself.

I think this was my favorite mystery for this year. The mystery plot was great as well, it was a trickier than normal. And family friendly! This is one to buy. I hope they make more.

(When Tom was reading a poem written on his hand, it reminded me of his character Billy on WCTH in Season 1) ~Abigail

🔎❤ I just got to watch Curious Caterer Foiled Plans. That movie kept me on the edge of my seat & what a powerful ending. Love Nikki DeLoach & Andrew Walker together. I hope there are many more of these to come. Well done! ~Nancy
