Loving Juniper Book Review

Loving Juniper by Sadia Ash
Release Date: June 4, 2019
Copy of LOVING JUNIPER COVER.jpg
Loving Juniper, the much anticipated final book in the bestselling Smoke Series by Sadia Ash.
“To travel around in a circle and come back to the same place you started can be either a source of failure or a source of discovery. It depends on what you are looking for. A year ago, I left this museum to travel outside the circle, and now I was back in its fold. And what I had been looking for ended up being right back here...at home,” says Juniper Mills.
For Kyle Paxton, everything comes full circle in a strange sort of synergy as the lost love he has been trying to find for two years is finally in front of him.
What happens when Juniper comes back home after a year of living her dream job in London and Ireland as a Celtic curator?
This is Juniper and Kyle's final love note. An extended epilogue to the epic love story that began in Ann Arbor with Juniper Smoke, and now concluded in Loving Juniper in San Francisco. After hundreds of days apart over thousands of miles, will Juniper and Kyle finally find journey's end?

Darra's Review:

When the last book ended, I was a bit lost. It seemed like an ending. With them resolving the nightmares from the past but I needed this book to satisfy to true end to the series. It was timing for these two and we finally get to see them both together as planned and it was worth it. We got to see their relationship evolve to admiration and pure love for each other.
I loved this series and at the end I felt complete. This is exactly what I needed to read. It was a sigh of relief that last page is where I hoped it would end. It melted my heart.

I rate the book a 4.7.

Excerpt:
“Now,” Kyle stated, standing up. “I have some very important business to do.” Bending over, I started stacking the plates to hide my disappointment that he would be working again. Kyle snatched the dishes out of my hands and put them down. He grabbed my hand and began to lead me out of the patio…and into the living room. There, he pressed me flush against the wall to wall windows and stared into my eyes. “June-Bug,” he said, so softly that I thought it was my imagination. “My business is with you.” “As I don’t work with you, I have no business with you.” “I’m afraid that it’s a very serious matter…you will need to make it your business.” “Serious or not, your fetish for bringing business into our bedroom needs to stop.” “Have I told you how cute you look in that dress?” I was wearing the new wrap dress I’d bought from Aurora James, during our New York trip. Decked in stripes of wine red, salmon, periwinkle, and navy blue, it had a cute bodice and a clingy skirt. Feeling sexy in the way the sheer chiffon clung to my figure, I eased away from him and lifted one corner of the belted wrap-around. “See. It’s a marvel of technology.” Readily taking the belt, he tugged at it until the dress fell open. “Open sesame. That is my favorite dress of all.” Seeing my Agent Provocateur nude and sugar pink lingerie embroidered on an invisible net base, Kyle gasped. “Why, a present for me? You shouldn’t have.” With a soft laugh, I dragged his neck closer to me, bringing his lips firmly onto mine. I kissed him with all the pent-up pain and uncertainty of the past week until it flooded with just longing and longing only. My hands went to the back of his neck, sliding up through his hair. I released his mouth and whispered against his ears. “I love you.” He didn’t respond. Instead, he caught my mouth again, his hands slipping off my dress and, seizing my hips, he lifted me up until my legs were laced around his back. Carrying me, he walked around the living room and took me up the stairs, still kissing me somehow. I hissed and leaned back, letting the electricity between us rise and rise until it consumed us, taking us to places we’d traveled before, but could never tire of…

Finding Juniper by Sadia Ash and My Review


Amazon: https://amzn.to/2I2VMFl
Goodreads: https://bit.ly/2OD5I9V


From London with love… or indifference?

I have loved Kyle Paxton since I met him a year ago. We've gone through a lifetime of love and breakups. I can't be with him. But I can't keep away. I need to try to love him the way he is. Imperfect. Broken.

Unconditional love.

In an age of casual hookups, can our love survive?

Finding Juniper picks up where Juniper Smoke left off. Faster paced, with more sparks, more plot, more drama, more intensity: get ready for another fun ride as Juniper and Kyle fall in love over time and place. From Ann Arbor Michigan to San Francisco in the first book, to London and Ireland in Finding Juniper… catch up with Juniper and Kyle on this breathless journey of what unconditional love means.
 


Review:
I waited for this book impatiently for 2 years and finally it arrived. Unfortunately, I completely missed when it finally arrived! Pesky holidays. Finally. I get to know what will happen between Juniper and Kyle!
At the end of Juniper Smoke, I thoughts were all tangled. I must have been reading this wrong because if I am, this cliffhanger is a son of a bitch.
Now that I have had a couple of years to calm down, I am here to announce my thoughts. I loved it.

More? It is amazing that you could feel every emotion towards a fictional character. I hated, despised, hurt, anxious, excited, and now a soft spot in my heart. There is something I can’t pin point. No matter, you will love Kyle like I did.
Juniper is still a strong minded woman that is her own. She doesn’t need Kyle in her life. But she wants him. Despite his major errors, she loves him, broken and all.

I had high hopes for Finding Juniper. And it succeeded and more. The story is amazing and I can’t wait to see it with my own eyes. Assuming the next yearish?


I rate the book a 4.8 out of 5.


If you haven't read Juniper Smoke, then put this book down. You must read 1 and 2.

This book consists of JUNIPER SMOKE and KYLE & JUNIPER (Book I & II in one). 
In an age of casual hook-ups, can love survive the test of time?

Juniper and Kyle meet when she is dangling forty feet from a museum scaffolding, hanging on for dear life. Juniper is a sassy, nerdy curator at the History Museum of Ann Arbor. Her life has been one big sacrifice for others. Work. Home. Repeat. Raised by her mother to hate men, she worries she’ll die a frigid scholar in a musty house with an army of cats and a lake of books.

Kyle Paxton is a handsome, intense and intimidating inventor of micro-cameras from San Francisco. To curb the dark memories of his ex-girlfriend (who still haunts him), he schedules dating and work with robotic precision. Not looking for love, he only hooks up with Amazonian models. 

When he joins the museum board, Juniper falls for him. She wants him, but knows it's going to be as hard as catching the ocean in a teacup. Juniper becomes Kyle’s obsession, but the tragic secrets of his past cloud his feelings. Juniper soon knocks Kyle’s world off its axis and their galaxies collide in this very unfairy tale. But can they overcome their differences and stop a hateful and vindictive person from tearing them apart?

Juniper Smoke is a smoking hot read with fun twists, dark secrets and edge-of-your-seat drama. Nothing is as it seems and no one behaves as you would expect. Read the books that book bloggers call MUST READ are now optioned to be a major film in hollywood.
