    Getting Ready for Fall

    September 13, 2018 /

    Fall has quickly become my favorite season in the past few years. I don’t know why considering I associate fall with summer vacation being over and having to go back to work. However, there’s just something about fall that I love. The crisp, cool air. Apple cider donuts. Breaking out the cozy sweaters. Oh and ushering in the holiday season, of course. Since I’m in a new space (my townhouse), I picked up a few fall decor things. I didn’t want to go overboard with decorating, plus I don’t have the money to! So it was just a few things. First, I got this super cute leaf candle holder from…

    Owl Luminary

    November 15, 2015 /

    It’s no secret that I love candles, but what I love almost as much as I love 3-wick candles is a seasonal, festive, or just downright cute/pretty candle holders. Last month, I had a coupon for Bath & Body Works and the online store was also having a Columbus Day sale. Armed with these two discounts, I got my hands on this adorable Owl Luminary.  This luminary is so cute. I love the way the lit candle looks shining through the owl. I read some reviews online and a few people said they wished the eyes were open so that the candle light could shine through the eyes as well. But,…

    Photo Challenge: Off-Season

    June 19, 2015 /

    This week has been a whirlwind and I feel like I’ve been all over the place that I’m getting so confused about what day of the week it is! Anyway, it’s Friday which means it’s Photo Challenge Friday here on Life According to Jamie. I’m going to be honest, my photo response to The Daily Post’s challenge this week, “Off-Season”, is not very creative and is a bit boring. Nothing sprang to mind from my archives and I didn’t come across anything this week that felt “off-season” to me. The only thing that I could even remotely consider as “off-season” was my candle. I love burning candles and I normally just…

    High-End & Budget Christmas Gift Guide

    December 14, 2014 /

    Christmas is a week and a half away! As it gets closer, I thought I would post a gift guide for anyone who is still scratching their heads on what to buy. I thought it would be fun to come up with both high-end gifts and lower cost/budget alternatives. First up, high-end! High-End Christmas Gift Guide by lifeaccordingtojamie featuring Diptyque The Tory Burch logo is famous and I think these stud logo earrings are so cute. They’re simple and not flashy. Definitely a sophisticated look. A good pair of rainboots is always useful and why not put usefulness and style together! I love candles and I am always hearing about Diptyque…

    Old Factory Candles Review & GIVEAWAY!

    November 26, 2014 /

    I was recently offered the opportunity to review a set of candles from Old Factory Candles and if you know me well, you know that I jumped at the chance because I love candles. I got to choose one theme or set of candles. There are a whole bunch to choose from and so many sounded good, but ultimately I went with “Spa Day” because it sounded like refreshing and clean scents. They also aren’t seasonal so I can burn them whenever. Each set comes with 3 candles and “Spa Day” comes with cucumber, lemongrass, and green tea.   The candles burn cleanly and smell amazing. The cucumber one especially smells…

2 Fights by @nikkicastleromance is the second book 2 Fights by @nikkicastleromance is the second book in the Fight Game series and follows Jax and Hailey. We met both characters in 5 Rounds. Jax is best friends with both Remy and Tristan and Hailey is Remy’s younger sister. Glimpses of Hailey’s toxic relationship was seen in the first book and in 2 Fights she begins to realize how harmful her boyfriend has been to her mental health and self esteem. Jax helps her through it all and reminds her of her amazing she is. Jax has looked out for Hailey since she was a kid but is now seeing her in a different light and realizing how beautiful and grown up she is. Hailey had a crush on Jax when she was a kid but now is there something there? They have always had chemistry, but now with all the time they’re spending together they can’t nor do they want to be apart. 💕📚

The love between Jax and Hailey is really sweet. We see their relationship go from a loving friendship to a soulmate type of love. There is lots of good spice, but the real story is about Hailey’s healing from her past and how Jax helps her along the way👫. I loved the book! My obsession with them is a little less than with Remy and Tristan, but still loved the book. 

This is great for lovers of sports romance, friends to lovers, and sister’s best friend/best friend’s sister tropes. My full review is on the blog ✨

Things We Hide from the Light by @scorelucy picks Things We Hide from the Light by @scorelucy picks up right after Things We Never Got Over and focuses on Nash and Lina. Nash, our lovable police chief, is silently dealing with ptsd from almost dying and his shooter still on the run. Lina , our fiesty insurance investigator, is adjusting to temporarily living in the small town of Knockemout and surprisingly liking it. There was an instant attraction between the two and for some reason Nash can only feel calm and not anxious when she’s with him and Nash is the first person Lina has ever remotely considered a relationship with. 📖

 Can Nash be the one to change her mind about relationships? Can Lina help him through his PTSD and be happy again? Will Nash be okay when he finds out that Lina is in town because she’s coincidentally after the same guy who tried to kill him? 👀 💖

I loved this book! Nash and Lina were such great characters and I was happy to be back in Knockemout with beloved characters especially Knox, Naomi, and Way of course! 💕📚

Read this if you’re in the mood for a spicy contemporary romance with brother’s best friend and forced proximity vibes. Now I can’t wait for Lucian and Sloane’s book! My full review is on the blog! 📚✨

I loved Always a Princess by @clyverose a few year I loved Always a Princess by @clyverose a few years ago so when she sent me her follow up in the series, The King’s Mistress, I was so excited! The novel takes place a few years after Always a Princess and follows Lydia, Wil’s younger sister who is now at marrying age, and Valkin, Syeira’s brother who is a Romany king. 👑 

When Lydia finds out that her father has betrothed her to an old and mean Earl, she runs away to try to get to France to find safety in her eldest brother, Roger. But on the way she happens upon the Romany camp where Valkin, Syeira, and Wil live. Lydia claims she is the mistress of Valkin for protection. Wil and Syeira are away and Valkin does not recognize her after so many years. Unwilling to reveal her true identity in order to protect Valkin’s people, Lydia is comforted by the feeling of community and family (and the rekindling of her childhood crush on Valkin) until she is well enough to head to France. Valkin knows she should go for the safety of his people but he also doesn’t want to let her go. 💕

The slow burn, tension, and angst in this book was so good! I loved Lydia and Valkin and getting to see beloved couple Wil and Syeira and their growing family again. My full review is on the blog ✨📖
