    Photo Challenge: Windows

    October 6, 2017 /

    We’ve made it to Friday! Yesterday was a long day with Back to School Night but at least that’s over with now. For last week’s photo challenge, “Windows“, I’m looking back to the summer when I was in Niagara Falls. My family and I had dinner at the restaurant at the top of our hotel, The Watermark Restaurant.Β The main reason we went to that restaurant was because of the spectacular view of the falls. Here is a shot from my seat at the table! I took this photo with my phone on the panorama setting. Amazing view from the windows right?! Have a fabulous Friday!

    The Watermark Restaurant

    August 24, 2017 /

    I briefly mentioned in my Niagara Falls post about my dinner at The Watermark RestaurantΒ at the top of the Hilton – Fallsview Hotel. The views of the falls are spectacular so we definitely wanted to have dinner there for our one night in town. The menu at The Watermark is a prix fixe menu and you can choose between 3 dishes or 5. My dad, brother, and I chose 5 dishes and my mom chose 3 so we could share some of the small plates and appetizers. I really only ate 4 dishes as I had my eye on 4 things but didn’t think I could eat 5 so I…

    Niagara Falls

    August 21, 2017 /

    Exactly 10 days ago I was in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. I went with my family up to Toronto to visit family and we decided ahead of time to stop in Niagara (on the Canadian side) for a night on the way up. I hadn’t been to Niagara Falls since I was probably 7 or 8 years old so I wanted to see it as an adult. All I remembered from back then was wearing a poncho and getting soaked on the boat ride through the falls. We didn’t go on a boat ride this time which was fine with me. I just admired the view from above! My family…

1 Last Shot by @nikkicastleromance is the 4th book 1 Last Shot by @nikkicastleromance is the 4th book in the Fight Game series πŸ₯Š and I finally got to read it and of course, loved it! 

This one focuses on Kane and Isabella who were both briefly introduced in book 3. Kane is a new fighter at the gym who is quiet, keeps to himself, and very intense πŸ₯Š. Isabella is new to Philly and starting a new chapter after an injury ended her professional ballet career 🩰. 

Kane is quiet and grumpy with a dark past and Isabella is sunshine, goodness, and new to living on her own and taking care of herself. The two are total opposites, but end up being neighbors and becoming friends and more. Kane wants to help Isabella navigate life on her own and feels protective of her. Isabella wants to help Kane open up more and smile and laugh πŸ₯ΉπŸ’•. 

I loved this book so much πŸ’œ. Kane and Isabella were so perfect together and I loved how even though they were opposites they were just what the other needed. It was so beautiful to watch Kane learn to trust Isabella and let someone be there for him when he’s never known that in his life πŸ’œ. 

Read this if you want a spicy, opposites attract, grumpy sunshine, sports romance! πŸ“š My full review is on the blog ✨

Things We Left Behind is the third and final book Things We Left Behind is the third and final book in the Knockemout series by @scorelucy πŸ“š. I’ve been so excited about this one because it is about Lucian and Sloane and if you’ve read the first two books you know that the two hate each other but no one really knows why. 

The novel opens with the funeral of Sloane’s father who was beloved by everyone including Lucian. It’s also learned that Sloane’s parents think of Lucian as a son so what happened to these two that were once the best of friends as teens to make them β€œenemies” for 20 years? πŸ’”

The thing that happened in the past is something that neither of them has been willing to talk about or get past and as much as they supposedly hate each other they also can’t stay away from each other when they share mutual best friends and as much as they both hate to admit it, they truly still care about each other. πŸ’•

An ongoing threat that has been present in the books since the beginning is still looming large in this book and when Sloane appears to be in the crosshairs now, it makes her and Lucian really come to terms with what they mean to each other and their past.🩷

I loved this book so much and am obsessed with Lucian and Sloane 😍πŸ”₯πŸ₯΅! I absolutely love this whole series but there is something so special about Lucian and Sloane and their shared history. I’m so sad this series is over but the epilogue helped soften the blow a little. 🩷

Read this book if you like spicy small town romances with the friends to enemies to lovers and second chance romance tropes. My full review is on the blog ✨
