I've watched a hundred or more Hallmark movies. This was one of the few that I have deleted before finishing it. I gave it two stars because I like Amanda Schull, who can pull off a romantic role. I found the male lead so unlikeable that I chose not to spend more time watching a light romance, when the hero is just plain mean. Hallmark movies often are based on the exact kind of conflict as used in this movie. One of the keys to the movie's success is a hero who disagrees with the heroine but is charming enough to make the viewer want to get to know him further. Andrew Walker handles this kind of role superbly and did so in a movie first shown within the last year. Porte is not charming and it's not the script in the part that I watched.
I agree with the other reviewer who pointed out that the "mansion" is ugly. It also is nothing like the mansions built in Rhode Island by American tycoons during the Gilded Age.
