Word of the “dueling duplexes” reaches the editor of Innovative Designs, who offers the winner a magazine spread. But when a storm kills the power, and Lance and Jules work by candlelight, their romance rekindles, only to get snuffed out when Lance hires a painting crew without consulting Jules. Confused, Lance gets fatherly advice, while Jules consults her mom about releasing resentments. Hopefully while renovating their duplex, these two can flip their romance as well.

My Quick Take:
Oh my goodness... there are so many great couplings going on here for spring! I don't know about you, but I'm just loving all these pairings! Course, for those who love Lifetime's "Snowed-Inn Christmas," (as I know many of us do!) we are already anticipating the Bethany Joy Lenz and Andrew Walker match-up once again! Sparks are going to fly - like fireflies!
There is something so sweet and refreshing about the Spring season... when everything is blooming and coming to life- once again! Our senses are reawakened to the brilliant colors... sights and sounds, of the beautiful outdoors and God's amazing creation!
I hope you are looking forward to the Spring Fever Hallmark movies, too!
Reminder: Be sure to watch the sneak peek preview show - hosted by Julie Gonzalo and Tyler Hynes (of "Flip that Romance") this weekend - following "Love Under the Rainbow!"
Blessings to you all, Net
