Review: Small dose of holiday romance
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 12 12, 2013
Girl runs away from danger, and ends up in a Christmassy town. Hot sheriff offers help...I know, it sounds like the start of a Christmas Lifetime movie! (The main character Sara wonders this herself as she analyzes her situation.)I wanted to give it an additional star – liked the Christmas miracle aspect, but not the romance. The damsel-in-distress trope didn't work for me because it gave the impression that Sara was too helpless to the point that Sheriff Trent seemed to patronize her. *SPOILER* The marriage proposal also seemed to early – can’t help but think if it was "all part of the Christmas magic" and will go away after the season’s over...
