When Calls the Heart-Hearts in Question A Review


ABOUT HEARTS IN QUESTION

An air of discord settles over Hope Valley when Jack’s spirited mother, Charlotte, pays an unexpected visit… and stays with Elizabeth.

Meanwhile Gowen comes under suspicion for "irregularities", in the bank’s bookkeeping, and as he and Nora prepare to leave town, Bill and Jack must contend with a violent storm, rising flood waters and the collapse of the Silverton mine!

MY REVIEW
  When Calls The Heart-Hearts in Question is another amazing DVD in this Hallmark series. So many things happen on one  show. It doesn’t just have one story line, but several and I love that.
  Jack’s mother comes and tells Elizabeth how to cook food, wash clothes and do the things that Jack likes.
  Rosemary and Lee are putting together there wedding. Everything has to be more than perfect for Rosemary, but she learns some valuable lessons.
  Will Gowen’s bad practices catch up with him? Nora and Gowen leave town and you can imagine why.
 All of this si going on and a very violent storm brings floods, collapse of the Silverton mine. So much action and adventure. The ending is just magical, but some have to go through horrible heartaches.
  Really a thrilling show that will make you want to watch it again and again. Highly recommend this fantastic series.

When Calls the Heart-Forever in my Heart DVD review

WHEN CALLS THE HEART-FOREVER IN MY HEART
When Cody’s sister, Becky, returns to Hope Valley, she’s in a wheelchair due to her illness. Suspecting that Becky isn’t walking because she’s receiving a lot of attention, Elizabeth encourages her to try harder, both in her efforts to stand and in honing her talent for drawing. All are surprised to meet Carolyn Connors, Cody and Becky’s long-lost, wealthy aunt who wishes to raise them on her own… away from Hope Valley. Meanwhile, Rebecca’s efforts to land a role in a film may catapult her to stardom… and out of the arms of Lee.

MY REVIEW
   When  Calls the Heart-Forever in my Heart is Movie 4 of the third season. I really did enjoy this movie. Many sweet, tearful scenes that I loved.
  Jack tries to help a young couple to get back together whom the husband left, because he is afraid he will be like his dad in the marriage.
  Cody’s sister Becky comes back from the hospital and is temporarily in a wheelchair. Then the children’s long-lost aunt shows up. She wants to take the children back to live with her.
The sawmill is still being damaged and Rosemary may leave Hope Valley in the hopes of being a star in movies.
   All of these characters and scenes would make a great show, but when they are all together it is fabulous. Love how this show turned out and the love and sweetness of the different scenes.
   Except for the impairment of Lee’s sawmill, which was quite exciting and adventurous.
  Really love this movie and  you will also. Highly recommended. It is a movie the whole family can watch and be entertained.

MY REVIEW
  Another riveting adventure with Jack, Elizabeth and all of their friends. You will even meet some new characters, or characters you have briefly met in past episodes.
  Love abounds, but so does action, adventure, hope and terror. It doesn’t matter what kind of show you like Heart of a Hero has it all.
  My favorite part of this episode is when the little boy Abigail is taking care of wants to be loved and how he goes about it. It is a very touching scene.
  Abigail and Frank have a long way to go in their relationship, but they don’t give up.
   Jack and Elizabeth are always sweet together and seem to be getting along very well.
  If you have never seen the series When Calls the Heart {Can’t believe there is anyone who hasn’t} you will just love it. So much adventure and tenderness. Highly recommended.

  I just love the When Calls the Heart series. This is Season 3 and Troubled Hearts is Movie 2. I look forward to each and every one of the shows. Just wholesome, interesting, pure enjoyment in each show.
  So many things are going on that you are never bored and you love the show so much you don’t want it to end.
  Jack and Elizabeth are both looking to the future in getting houses of their own. Rosemary is trying to be a part of Lee’s life, but she just gets things are mixed up. Another really exciting part is when the new boy Jesse is trying to cause trouble with Frank and is given an old wanted poster.
   I really like and enjoy this series. It’s hard to have favorites, but I really like Pastor Frank, Rosemary and Lee. Of course the best ones are Jack and Elizabeth.
  Truly a wonderful, entertaining show full of love, surprises and adventure. You never know what will happen next. Highly recommended. The whole family will love this series.

Rosemary is determined to win a San Francisco Herald essay contest about a "real frontier family",… and has to pose as Lee’s wife when a reporter from the paper shows up.

MY REVIEW
  Just when you think something can’t get any better, you are greatly surprised. When Calls the Heart-It Begins with Heart, Season 3, Episode 1 is such a special, tender story. It is full of suspense, action, but also love, compassion and forgiveness.
  We see our favorites returning, also a few new characters and new plot lines. The actors and actresses are very good at what they do and are very believable in their roles.
   This is a continuing story from episode to episode. Some people have called it like unto Downton Abbey. It is, but a series the whole family can watch without worrying what might come next. When Calls the Heart is a very wholesome, family-oriented series.
  Not only does this show have funny, quirky parts, but parts of great severity and things to make us think.
  When Calls the Heart-It Begins with Heart is such a wonderful, wonderful entertaining show. Sesaon 3 is starting with a bang. Watch all of the Seasons if you haven’t yet. Each one is full of many great teaching moments. So thankful to be able to watch an entertaining, wholesome, exciting series.
  Highly recommended. It Begins with Heart is full of surprises. Watch and see for yourself.

MY REVIEW
  When Calls the Heart Complete Season 2 is amazing. If you are a Heartie or just love this series you need to buy this 10 DVD Collectors Edition set.
  I’m amazed at all of the content in this special set. The five episodes in the movie version, all of the episodes that were shown on the Hallmark channel, a fantastic Special Features Disc. ( will talk more about the special features later), Winter in Hope Valley instrumental CD, and a special short film Journey To Jamaa (True story) produced by Michael Landon Jr. and Brian Bird. That CD Journey To Jamaa should get a review all on its own. Amazing story.
  The extra features DVD has the life stories of Janette Oke and Michael Landon Jr. Which are just remarkable in themselves. Get to know what and who formed their lives. Trailers of course, The stars talk about the Hearties, Get to know the stars of the show and behind the scenes. Every feature is just incredible. I really love getting to know these wonderful people and of yes, so many fantastic pictures.  This 10 DVD edition is well worth the price. What Heartie or just anyone wouldn’t love this?  Highly recommended. Wish I could recommend it more.

MY REVIEW
  When Calls the Heart-Follow your Heart is the last episode of the second season and oh what a way to end it. Now I’m just sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for the Christmas special and season three to start.
  So many exciting things happened in Follow your Heart. Of course we know Jack and Elizabeth had a big argument on the last episode and they aren’t talking to much.
  Jack is still trying to get all of the people in the counterfeit ring, almost gets shot in this episode.
  Julie misses Tom and her family doesn’t try to understand, they just want her to move on with  her life without Tom.
   Abigail and Pastor Frank and getting to be closer friends, but she finds out something that makes her rethink her ideas of him.
  To top all of that off Elizabeth accidentally lets Rip out of Jack’s office during a thunderstorm and he runs away. So Jack and Elizabeth are off to find him in a cave and that’s when love and disaster strikes.
  Love, love, love this series and this ending episode just has me wanting to see more and more. Highly recommended for the whole family. Very good viewing for all members of your household.

But Tom and Julie are hiding something about the incident, a deceit that puts Jack and Elizabeth at odds with their families… and with each other.

MY REVIEW
  When Calls the Heart-Heart and Home is one of the best episodes of this series. I really, really enjoyed it.
  Tom (Jack’s brother) and Julie (Elizabeth’s sister) get into a car accident. So both Jack and Elizabeth go back to Hamilton. Hard feelings and hurt feelings come between are four of these people. Each blaming the other for what happened.
  Them Tom and Julie decide to run off together which causes more problems. Also Elizabeth’s dad offers Jack a job so he will be good enough for his daughter, which doesn’t sit well at all.
  On top of all of that Elizabeth tells Charles she only wants his friendship, but Charles won’t let it go.
   You can just imagine  all of the drama and things that could happen with these things going on. Love, love, love this second season of When Calls the Heart. Highly recommend this for everyone who loves action, adventure, faith and love.

Trials of the Heart A REVIEW

ABOUT TRIALS OF THE HEART
From celebrated author Janette Oke (The Love Comes Softly series) comes a rigorous and romantic adventure as epic as the wide frontier. Erin Krakow (Army Wives), Daniel Lissing (Eye Candy) and Lori Laughlin (Full House, 90210) star in When Calls The Heart, "a beautiful story with roots in relationships, self-empowerment, and the enduring power of love", (Common Sense Media).


Elizabeth Thatcher (Krakow) is an independent, strong-willed teacher who has foregone the life of the big city and found a job, a home (and romance with a handsome Mountie named Jack) in the small frontier town of Coal Valley. But when she learns that her mother has taken ill, she returns to Hamilton, her hometown, with Jack as her escort. Once in the comparably opulent Hamilton, Elizabeth and Jack are confounded by Jack’s ne’er-do-well brother and Elizabeth’s former suitor, Charles Kensington. But it is Elizabeth’s father, William, who drives a wedge between them when he suggests to Jack that Charles would be a better match for his well-bred daughter.

MY REVIEW
The two hour special of When Calls the Heart season 2 is just fantastic. It is full of love, surprises and danger, but so very, very good.
  What we have all been looking forward to is the trial and many, many surprising things happen with that.  I love that it was a lady lawyer who came. At first everyone thought she couldn’t do the right job, but that soon changed.
   Elizabeth is called home because her mother is ailing and Jack takes her. She fits in like she never left, but Jack doesn’t.  You can watch as Elizabeth shops with sisters, has parties and renews old friendships.
  You will be astounded at all of the new things that happen and also rejoice at the old friends we made in season one and meet many new people who become friends in season two.
  Two hours of suspense, family, love and hope.  I highly recommend this fantastic show. I love it because the values are wholesome and it is just an exciting show. You need to buy the DVD and if by chance you have never seen these shows you must watch just one. If you do watch one you will be hooked and join all of us Hearties.
Highly recommended.

ABOUT WHEN CALLS THE HEART SECOND CHANCES

With Billy Hamilton now out of the picture, life for Elizabeth is starting to return to normal. Still feeling guilty about being duped by Billy, Elizabeth again tries to apologize to Jack. And while Jack does his best to smooth things over, his clumsy wording only offends Elizabeth, putting Jack back in the doghouse.

  In this DVD Elizabeth and Jack try to become friends again, Elizabeth tries to help out one of her students who has a reading problem, Abigail wants to open an abandoned café and Adam Miller comes home from the hospital, he was the only survivor of the coal mining accident, with only one leg. So you put all of these great plots together and you have one fantastic movie.
  The acting, scenery and talent of this DVD are excellent.
    You have very funny scenes and also scenes that are very serious. It all comes together to form one great DVD. I recommend this DVD When Calls the Heart Second Chances.

MY REVIEW
  I really enjoyed When Calls The Heart - The Dance. It is a Hallmark movie inspired by the best selling series by Janette Oke.
  This DVD doesn’t go along with the book series. It tells a story of the Elizabeth from the book series niece Elizabeth.
  It is continuing from the first DVD when Elizabeth goes West to teach those that no one else wants to teach. In this DVD men from another town come and help run the coal mine and they have quite a few adventures. Not all of the adventures are good ones either.
  I really enjoyed the part when the widow Carla is close to having a baby and no one really knows how to help or deliver a baby, but it all comes together.
   Some things are getting stolen and some lives are changing. Some good and some bad in all situations. I know you will love this DVD The Dance. I highly recommend it.

When Calls the Heart DVD Review


ABOUT WHEN CALLS THE HEART
When Calls the Heart is the story of Elizabeth Thatcher (Drayton), a young teacher accustomed to her high society life, who receives her first classroom post in a prairie town in the Western Frontier lead by headstrong coalminer widows Abigail (Loughlin) and Frances (Smart). She is determined to prove to her family that she is brave enough to live on her own, but struggles with her own fears and doubts. When she discovers her late Aunt Elizabeth's (Grace) secret diary, Elizabeth learns she was a pioneer woman herself, a teacher in the frontier who struggled with prairie life and fell in love with a Royal Canadian Mountie (Amell). Inspired by her aunt's hopeful words and unfaltering determination, Elizabeth decides to embark on her own adventure, using the diary as her guide and family friend Edward, another Mountie (Sharman), as her support.

MY REVIEW
I’ve read all of Janette Oke’s Canadian West series which starts with the book When Calls the Heart. I really loved this series and while this DVD When Calls the Heart is a lot alike the book it is different also. I wish the DVD was more like the book. In the book it just tells the story of Elizabeth and Wynn but the DVD tells of two separate stories. The Elizabeth of the book is the Aunt in this DVD while another Elizabeth is the niece. They both are from privileged families and both want to be school teachers, both ends up teaching in the Wild West. Another thing both start to like Canadian Mounties.  It’s like a story told twice in this movie.
  I do love the characters and the acting is tremendously good. The settings and scenery are excellent. This could be a 5-star DVD if it only had one story line.
  Even though I don’t like the two story lines I still think this is an excellent DVD to buy and watch. Great love story.
