Love, For Real On the Hallmark Channel

The latest new film in the Summer Nights programming event is perfect for the summer heat wave. The film takes viewers to Hawaii, with its gorgeous beaches – the ideal setting for love. Meanwhile, the storyline is about a reality TV show called Heart Choices.

In the film, Hayley (Chloe Bridges) is a fashion designer who goes on a reality dating show with her best friend Bree (Taiana Tully). However, she isn’t on the show to get a boyfriend, but rather to get publicity for her clothing line. Unexpectedly, the show’s producer, Luke (Scott Michael Foster), puts a wedge in her plans.

As Luke and Hayley get into conflict over the script of the allegedly “unscripted” show, they have to learn to work together to avoid Hayley being eliminated. While this is going on, her pal Bree actually begins to fall for the reality show’s bachelor, Marco (Corbin Bleu).
