Storyline

Magazine photographer Alex Anderson and author Colin Page head to Fiji in search of the elusive blue pearl that Colin wrote about in his bestselling novel Pearl in Paradise. Alex stands to land the creative director position if she can photograph the pearl for the magazine's 30th anniversary issue, and Colin hopes that by writing a guest article about the long-lost gem he can boost sales of his failing other books and not lose his publisher. As the two head off to their search, neither is aware yet that finding love could be the rarest adventure of all.

User Reviews

This was definitely a real gem!

Thank you, Hallmark, for finally making a romcom worth recommending and definitely worth watching again. I am happy to say that this is a long time coming second movie that I've added to my Hallmark favorites list this year in addition to The Beach House which was a well done Hallmark Hall of Fame drama. Kristoffer Polaha and Jill Wagner are two of my favorites in the Hallmark family and their chemistry and comic timing was spot on. The scenery was gorgeous while in Fiji again, but this was the first of the summer movies this year that had a well-written script instead of just relying on the exotic locations (which have definitely been a real treat all summer) to amp up the stories. Finally, it was just wonderful that there was no jealous, overbearing boyfriend showing up at the halfway point. This is still mostly predictable, but it's a fun, adventurous, romantic journey and my favorite Hallmark film this year...so far!
