Secretly every woman loves to watch a good romantic movie. We can cry a little, or a lot depending on if you are a new mom/mom of a child leaving the nest/woman entering menopause; we can laugh with the heroine and pretend to be the gal being swept off her feet. It is in our blood.
Just in time for Mother’s Day this year is the release of Nicholas Sparks’ latest romance story THE CHOICE coming out on BluRay and DVD on May 3 and it will also be available on Amazon.ca the same day. It is the perfect gift to give a busy mom who needs a couple of hours to relax and lose herself in a beautifully told love story. You might want to throw in a bottle of her favourite wine too. 🙂
When feisty medical student Gabby Holland moves in next door to perennial ladies’ man Travis Shaw, they embark on a surprising romantic journey neither imagined possible. Travis has always believed a serious relationship would cramp his easygoing lifestyle, while Gabby is preparing to settle down with her long-term boyfriend—until an irresistible attraction between the unlikely couple upends both of their well-planned lives. Spanning a decade and tracing the evolution of a love affair that is ultimately tested by life’s most defining events, this story features a memorable ensemble of friends and family in Sparks’s beloved North Carolina setting, culminating with the question that every couple must ask themselves: how far would you go to keep the hope of love alive?
