In Romance on the Ranch, Suzanna Pereira plays Sara, who gets to live out one of my favorite fantasies.

Sara quits her job, sells her place, gets in a camper with her dog, and drives out west.  She has another job waiting for her, as a doctor at a big-city hospital.  But before she starts her new job, she just wants to see America and capture it with her camera.  I knew exactly how Sara felt.  There have been so many times that I’ve been tempted to just grab my camera, jump in my car, and just take off for parts unknown.  It’s not very practical in the real world but that’s why we have movies like this one!

Sara’s camper breaks down outside of a ranch.  Luckily, the ranchers invite her to stay with them while the camper gets fixed.  Sara volunteers at the local assisted living facility and she rides a horse for the first time in years.  She also meets two handsome brothers and she falls in love with both of them.  Aidan (Chris Reid) is quiet and likes to spend his time working on the ranch and with the land.  Porter (Brando White) is a rebel who gets his work done but at his own pace and who feels like Aidan looks down on him.  Sara wants to stay at the ranch but she doesn’t want to cause trouble between the two brothers.  The brothers, though, have issues to work on that go far beyond of them liking Sara.  Who will Sara choose?  The handsome rebel or the handsome cowboy who has a daughter who needs a stepmother?

I liked this movie, even though I knew everything that was going happen.  It’s basically a Hallmark movie, even if it didn’t air on the network. Everyone in the movie is very pleasant and nice and the ranch was a really pretty location.  I liked that the two brothers were both nice guys and loved each other deep down, no matter how much they fought.  They had different ways of looking at the world but neither was necessarily wrong.  There’s just something incredibly romantic about big strong men working in the Great Outdoors and learning to express their emotions.  Mostly I liked the movie because I could relate to Sara.  I looked at those beautiful mountains surrounding the ranch and I wanted to get out my camera and start snapping pictures too.
