Charlotte (184 KP) rated Smith's Corner: Delilah & Dallas (The Heartwood Series #1) in Books
Jul 30, 2021
Hot in more ways than one!
Delilah is a fun, strong-willed character. I liked her straight away, from her desire to achieve her goals and being family orientated right the way to having the hots for the scrumptious Dallas.
Dallas....swoon!! Hot, protective, funny.....I could go on but you need to experience it for yourself.
As with all good books there are plenty of hurdles to overcome, misunderstandings, some 'adult' moments and danger....definitely hard to put down.
A brilliant start to what promises to be a fantastic series. This can be read as a standalone but I highly recommend it as a series....there's another four hot brothers to get to know! We meet them but, obviously, this isnt their story.

My husband was really not enthralled by this film. He did not think it was funny or clever.
So naturally I divorced him.
This was the first film I managed to sit all the way through after having a baby, (one often finds one is terribly tired 15 minuets in) and I was glad I did.
There was something very magical, very Wes Anderson about this film.
Just when I thought I had it figured out, bam! Curveball!
Some great cinematography, great acting, and a selection of jumpers that make it look like a well directed sweater advert.
My favourite Who Donit to date and well worth a watch.

3.33 stars. 4 for the first two thirds, 2.5 for the last third.
I thought that this book was pretty funny in places, some of the situations, some of the phrases, some of the characters were just pretty crazy and that made me laugh. Gavin was cute. I can't quite picture a four year old like him with his dirty mouth and angelic face.
I have to admit though that I lost interest a little after the 2/3 point. They were happy, they were a family...why did it have to continue for all that extra length of time?
Nevertheless, Gavin and the crazy humour kept me entertained. I just need to decide if I want to read the next book in the series or not.

I'm a Peacock, you got to let me fly!!!
This is a really funny film. I love the duo of Will Ferrell and Mark Walhberg. It also has a great cast. Micheal Keaton, Samuel Jackson, The Rock, Derek Jeter.
The plot: Unlike their heroic counterparts on the force, desk-bound NYPD detectives Gamble (Will Ferrell) and Hoitz (Mark Wahlberg) garner no headlines as they work day to day. Gamble relishes his job as a paper pusher, but Hoitz is itching to get back on the street and make a name for himself. When a seemingly minor case turns out to be a big deal, the two cops get the opportunity to finally prove to their comrades that they have the right stuff.
Its a must see film.
