Daje is everything her past lovers weren't, and he helps her discover a side to herself that she never knew existed. It is fun, adventurous, and full of surprises. As Hope’s sexual life steams up, her work takes a turn for the worse when an abusive husband of a patient blames her for his troubles. Soon, her personal life becomes entangled with her work life, and both are put at risk.

The concept of Hope acting like a knight in shining armor for her patient is a little predictable but it does highlight her personality. She saves a patient from her abusive and horrendous husband who starts haunting her. Reese has done a good job for her first featured film as has Victor Alfieri, along with their other cast members. Christie Will Wolf has done a splendid job of writing and directing it. The movie really stands out for its gripping screenplay and the actors have done justice to it. The 1 hour 40 minutes movie is interesting in its own way with a twist in the end. Although the movie has a lot of steamy scenes, it is just not about that it is also about love, compassion, and protectiveness, but also highlights the concept of how domestic abuse is still prevalent. Lifetime's 'The Art of Passion' deserves your attention.
