It has a good premise which flings the couple together, but they don't gel and it's only Hallmark quick-fixit scriptglue that joins them together at the end.
While it's realistic that Connor is awkward about how to relate to a beautiful live-in help (and where does a responsible employer draw the line?) McConnell delivers a one-note awkward wooden, work-nerd characterisation throughout - what Sashleigha is supposed to see in him is beyond me (and we won't explore the 20 year age gap between the actors.) And if after all the years he's been working in alternative energy, the fact that he hasn't worked out how to sell his product to a reluctant public suggests he's a man of little imagination. No wonder his wife left him!
It's like watching a tip-top table tennis player try to make a match with a guy holding a tennis racquet stuck on the baseline - one hopes that Sashleigha has a more lively sparring partner in her next love-match!

Connor needs a nanny for his daughter, Macey, while he's working in Aruba. After several failed interviews he still hasn't found a good candidate when he, through common acquaintances, finds Amber. She's a teacher who's just gone on summer vacation without any special plans. He hires her, and they go to Aruba. However, it turns out to be a challenge for Connor. His wife suddenly left him and his daughter several years ago, and now he finds himself sharing their living with an attractive woman. He tries to set boundaries to protect himself but also to give Amber her privacy. Meanwhile Amber and Macey bond perfectly, but Amber can't understand why Connor behaves so oddly.

Beautiful setting for a dull romance
A nice romance movie set on a beautiful island.
A romance movie that isn't sickly sweet and formulaic. The script is better than many and the dialog is natural, not formulaic and stylized. The two leads are good as are the rest of the cast. Don't know where it was filmed, I assume Aruba which is beautiful.
