Ooooh... these all sound really great! I just adore Jen Lilley in everything... so her movie, "A Paris Romance," makes me very excited! Plus, I've always loved Leah Renee since "Love by the Book," and Chris McNally has been a favorite since "Rocky Mountain Christmas" and even more so since this new season of "When Calls the Heart," so I can't wait to see these two paired together!

Also, there seems to be a lot of new names in the mix - so... that should be interesting!

I would love to know - which NEW Hallmark movie or movies are YOU most looking forward to in May? Please share in comments below!

Have a Wonderful, Sunshiny Day!
