Jenny is a hairdresser and owns her business. She is recently divorced and has a young son of maybe 8 or 9. While her ex-husband is a nice guy it seems she never really loved him, she probably married him because her opinionated mother urged her to.
Liam is a radio DJ who plays mostly older music and he goes by the radio name "Dr. Love." Jenny is a fan, she listens to his program regularly but has no idea what his real identity is, and frankly doesn't care. Her son thinks he is an old fat man broadcasting from a basement somewhere.
Then one day on a whim, during a book promotional Jenny calls the station and wins, as the 7th caller. She goes to the station and there she meets Dr. Love, only to find out she knows him. She and he met in college then became sweethearts but their romance was interrupted when Liam joined the Marines. He vowed to return to her but she never heard from him again. The "why" is an important part of the whole story.
The story gets more complicated from that point, in many ways. It is not a Hallmark movie but follows the template, there is no bad language or sex, after they start to get close some big relationship wedge interferes, they have to find a way to overcome it.
This movie contains pretty much all the tropes we have seen in many similar movies, there really isn't anything new but the actors are pleasant and attractive and that makes for a pleasant viewing.
Shot mostly in and around Stillwater and Oklahoma City. The rating is skewed a bit on the high side because almost 30% of the ratings are "10" and this definitely is not a "10" movie, compared to all the others. The median rating is "6" and that is just about right for this movie. Pleasant but not outstanding.
