Autumn Reeser stars in the Hallmark romance _A Bramble House Christmas_. When Finn and his sister learn that their late father left $100,000 to his nurse, they suspect that she conned him and Finn goes to track her down and confront her; but when he finds her he decides to keep his identity a secret and get to know her first. Reeser gives a strong performance and is backed by a solid supporting cast. And the writing’s pretty good, though it does have a few of the usual plot tropes and clichés. Also, the production values are well-done; particularly the holiday decorations and soundtrack. One of Hallmark’s better efforts, _A Bramble House Christmas_ is a touching film about love and second chances.
