Really happy to see a new face to Hallmark in Routh, but Sustad is fantastic in this one. A great story of a fireman just being helpful and it ends up wonderfully. I love the fact that Sustad's character knows paint and grout and how to hook up a stove. That stuns Zachary but not me and I appreciate powerful and intelligent women.

Fantastic romantic movie. Niall Matter is terrific in the dance scenes and you cheer for the principal characters. It's amazing to see adults act as adults in a difficult situation. Great movie for an afternoon inside.

The baker's success is based on his private relationships which doesn't bode well when he can't quite figure out who he loves. Unusual plot which makes it fun.

I really enjoyed this book. It's a real page turner! Of course you cringe as the puddlejumpers steal Shawn from his widowed father. The imagery is convincing and at times I even felt a bit claustrophobic as they go underground. The strongest image I am left with is of the troggs...their smelly description, piling all kinds of horrible odors on top of rotting potatoes, made me wince. I think kids will be able to relate to Ernie's misunderstood existence in the boy's home and his fear of doing show more what he knows he has to do. Highly recommended! show less
