Gareth von Kallenbach (980 KP) rated Leap! (Ballerina) (2017) in Movies
Jul 11, 2019
There are some careful details to the animation and setting, however they are masked by a bland attempt at a very common storyline mixed in with the occasional action sequence. The lackluster character development suffered greatly among most of the characters with the exception of the relationship between Felicie and Odette. The theme of the movie with its simple tone, will find that its core target audience among young girls that are obsessed with theater, dancing, and performing. You definitely want to keep your expectations low and maybe stick to a matinee price tag. It’s still a sweet movie that just doesn’t deviate far from the ordinary.

Debbiereadsbook (1444 KP) rated Smith's Corner: Storm & Stone (The Heartwood Series #5) in Books
Mar 16, 2022
This is book 5 in the Smith's Corner series. While it can be read as a stand-alone book, I recommend that you read the other books before this one. It will give you a better and bigger picture of this family group, and how Stone's brothers have fallen one by one. It will also show you just how long Stone and Storm have been dancing around each other.
Storm needs honesty, and she will walk away if she thinks she isn't getting it. Stone, on the other hand, was burnt, badly by his ex when he was honest, so tries hard to keep it all in. Storm can see right through Stone though! And I loved that she could.
Because that ex does try hard to get to Stone and what I especially LOVED about this book, was that Storm never once doubted Stone. She knew, KNEW that he was a good man, and the ex just wanted to destroy him. Ex doesn't, just so you know, but Storm makes sure that Stone sees STORM, rather than the ex.
It's quite emotional in places, but equally there is laughter. Stone messes up, but his heart is in the right place! I loved that, when Stone lets himself really go, they are so great together! He really needs to trust Storm.
We catch up with the other brothers and their ever-growing families, and we get a taste of what's to come with Hunter and Holden. Cos ooooooeeeee those boys are getting close to breaking!
A lovely edition to this series, I am thoroughly enjoying them all.

Merissa (12911 KP) rated The Widow Wore Plaid (The Widows' Club #6) in Books
Jan 27, 2022 (Updated Jul 5, 2023)
Jane and Gareth have been together for a while and, although Gareth has asked her to marry him numerous times, Jane has always said no for fear of losing her independence. Gareth does everything in his power to soothe those fears and she eventually says yes. Not everyone is happy with that announcement though and their lives are in danger.
Not having read any of the other books, I wonder how much of their getting to know each other was mentioned then because, obviously, there's nothing here. They are already a done deal although Jane is going to stop taking precautions against pregnancy now it's official. Part of me missed that, the build-up, but in other ways, it made this all the more exciting as the story could concentrate on their peril, rather than dancing around each other.
After a slow start, this story builds up to a fitting ending. I would have preferred to have read it as part of a series, simply so I could keep everyone straight and fully understand the relationships that are already formed. Saying that, I thoroughly enjoyed it and have no hesitation in recommending it.
