Romance in the Wilds

Romance in the Wilds is a romance holiday film, which was released in 2021. A sequel to the film, Christmas in the Wilds, was released shortly afterward.

Plot
After the breakout of a deadly wildfire, an unexpected romance ignites between a geologist and a forest ranger as they battle to escape the wildfire. Buck and Jessica have no help from the outside world, and no car or plane to escape. Instead the duo must get over their difference of opinions to firstly survive, but then escape the potentially deadly situation.

Just when it looks like the duo have escaped the fire, they cross paths with a wild bear, again testing their resolve.
