I have to be honest. The only reason I may have scored it this high is because it was a Nora Roberts movie. The acting was so-so. I just really like the fact that the book was made into film. It could have been better. I am glad I read the book first, because seeing this could have made me not want to read the book.

Good story, but not as exciting as the book by Nora Roberts.

Suspense & Romance!

"I enjoy reading Nora Roberts, especially the ones with a bit of a mystery & was curious to see how the movies were. This one, to me, didn't disappoint. It has the mystery angle - female police detective being stalked by a mystery person, then some Hot Romance chucked in, it also had a bit humour too - just to add to the fun. The actors and their chemistry together was great to watch. All in all, a bit of everything. If you're looking for a girly flick with a bit of suspense - check this one out!!"

"Although for the movie "High Noon", this applies to most of the available movies in this series of movies based on Nora Robert's mystery books.
I got these for my wife, and..., well...., I like them too!
As with many on TV movies (usually on Lifetime and Hallmark), these are much better to watch minus all the commercials. None of the DVD's we've gotten have had any 'extras' of any kind expect for the occasional previews.
All have been interesting and of the versions we've seen and read the book of also, they have stayed pretty true to those stories.
Overall, pretty people (only the best looking current actors and actresses) following some interesting story lines. Some semi-sexy parts thrown in, a crisis or two and then a happy 'boy gets girl' ending. Whats not to like for occasional entertainment?"
