Montana, as far from the ocean as you can get. No lobster anywhere close, and my specialty is lobster risotto. Could this be any worse? I checked, Angelo was right. The building he found in Billings really was the only one that was in our budget and didn't need a ton of work. I would just have to make due with shrimp risotto. Frozen lobster just isn't good, it definitely isn't good enough to serve at our restaurant. Frozen shrimp isn't great either, but it was a whole lot better than frozen lobster. When you're in a land-locked state in the center of the country, there's not a lot you can ...

I’m Brett Hammel and I own the rental shop next door to my best friend’s candy shop. Sunny Morning and I have been best friends for as far back as I can remember. Our moms have been friends most of their lives as well. I’m pretty sure Sunny and I have been hanging out together since before we were born. I’ve been told that when you meet ‘the one’ it’s an instant thing. You just know right off that it’s right. I’ve never experienced anything like that, but I guess that’s how it was for Sunny and Cali. Apparently Sunny’s sister, Windy, had a similar experience with her ...

She really messed up. Can she redeem herself and find real love this time? Will he be able to accept her, mistakes and all? Or is she unlovable now? She feels unlovable, she wouldn't blame him if he couldn't accept her. One thing's for certain, she would never trust instant attraction ever again. No matter what, she was taking her time and making sure it would last this time. His mom was never gonna leave him alone, he needed to do something. Truth was, he did want a wife. He just couldn't find someone he wanted to fill that role. Will hiring someone to find her for him work out? Will this ...

I’m Trevor Brown and I’m friends with Sunny Morning. Chad was my friend first, and when he became friends with Sunny, so did I. I’m really grateful for that. Becoming friends with Sunny turned out to be one of the best things to ever happen to me. Why, you ask? Well that’s a long story. It all boils down to my job, the job I wouldn’t have been able to get without my friendship with Sunny Morning. I owe Sunny so much for helping me get hired by his father. You see, Sunny was supposed to inherit the position I have. But it’s fishing, on a boat, in the ocean. Sunny has extreme ...

I wasn't too happy when Billings, Montana ended up being the only place that we were able to find a building. But I quickly realized how awesome it was here once all my siblings started finding their special someone. Nico and I are the only ones left. I made the mistake of getting my hopes up when my sisters kept telling me that it was my turn. I refuse to do that again, so when Tasha announced that her friend was moving here, I immediately talked myself out of getting excited. She's likely not mine. She has two kids, she'd better suited for someone in her same situation. Being a stepdad is...

Montana, my favorite place. I didn't purposely find the building there, honest. But man, am I glad that I did. Billings is a great place to open an authentic Italian restaurant. My siblings will get used to the much smaller city, at least it's not a tiny town like a lot of the other places in Montana. We're opening a restaurant because it's been our dream since we were little kids. We all loved cooking with Nonna every afternoon. She taught us how to make all her authentic Italian recipes. We've been saving every penny since we were old enough to earn money and we're finally ready. I was ...

Welcome back the Sunnyville! We left Emily trying to decide what to do about Ryan. What choice will she make? Will she hold out for the possibility of finding a soulmate?

There’s so many ways this could go, so many choices to make. Where will Emily’s heart lead her, and will she be brave enough to follow it? I hope you enjoy your time back in Sunnyville as we find out where Emily’s journey will...

Billings, Montana. That's my new home, and it's not nearly as bad as I assumed it would be when Angelo insisted that we move here. I actually rather love it. My family has been incredibly blessed for coming here. The restaurant is doing incredibly well, better than we could have ever imagined. Almost all of my siblings and my aunt all found their special someone here. They're all making me lots of nipoti, and I love it so much. Well, Zia Emilia obviously isn't. She still isn't married to Tanner yet. I don't know what they're waiting for. It's been almost a year that they've been dating. But...

Hi, we're the D'Alessandro octuplets. We spent our entire childhood cooking with our Nonna every single day. We loved cooking with her so much. She taught us all of her Italian recipes. We loved it so much that we started dreaming of opening a restaurant together. Nonno taught us all about running a business, and we started saving. We all got jobs and made a plan. It took us a decade, but we finally had what we needed. We found a building in Billings, Montana and opened our much-anticipated restaurant. We no longer have Nonna with us, but we know that she's proudly watching from Heaven. ...

I’m Callum Jorgenson and I’m friends with Stormy Morning. I nearly lost the right to say that not too long ago. Man, that was a majorly epic fail.

It’s very toxic and I just decided to love them from afar. It’s for the best, ...

She finally talked her friend into calling a matchmaker, and her friend was matched right away. But she wasn't. She let go of her job and her apartment, moved into her parent's home, and waited.
