hotness differential
Ally Craig (Danica McKellar) owns a plant nursery and is fostering a dog named Sunshine. She has a way of picking the perfect flowers for people. Ben ended their engagement some two months earlier but he won't leave her alone. It doesn't help that he's her biggest customer. Jake Terry (Mark Deklin) returns from the war. He's Sunshine's handler and is ready to reclaim the military dog.
This is a standard Hallmark romance. The leads are standard romantic leads. It could have been more. There is a love triangle on paper but it's never a threat on screen. There is a hotness differential. Mark Deklin is the hot muscle handyman while Peter Benson is the much inferior dork second banana. There is never any doubt which is par for the course. It is superficial in that their personality differences don't even have to be measured. Their hotness difference is proof enough. It would be so much better to have the movie about the way the men treat her. That's a more compelling triangle.
