The wait is over! I have been chomping at the bit for this one! The conclusion to Kyle and Juniper`s story that began in Juniper Smoke. When we left the pair at the end of Juniper Smoke, to say they were in a bad place is an understatement. Would they be able to find their way back to each other? And should they? Kyle, Kyle, Kyle..... I alternately wanted to shake you, smack you, hug you, and squeeze your butt. You are one messed up genius. And oh Juniper....Maybe not quite as messed up....but our girl has emotional roadblocks of her own to overcome. I loved this journey. The tone here is quite different than the previous. This is a tale of healing, of learning to trust, and ultimately one of unconditional love. This was quite an epic finale for Kyle and Juniper. I found myself wanting to quickly flip pages to see what happens, and go slowly so that I could savor every word. Sometimes you read a book ( or many, many as I do) and a few days or a week later you can't recall the names of the main characters. Just maybe if you liked the book or didn`t. I will never forget Kyle and Juniper. Easily one of my top romantic couples of the year. Perhaps due to their individual complexity, or simply because the author took the time to flesh these characters out so fully that I felt...... well everything! Im not going to spoil this book at all. Readers of Juniper Smoke have been waiting what feels like forever for it. And it is worth it.

At last, after waiting for what it feels like forever, we finally get the conclusion to Juniper and Kyle’s epic romance and if you haven’t read Juniper Smoke (1 & 2), I strongly suggest you dive into it before reading this book.

The final installment of Juniper and Kyle’s love story is brilliantly written in dual points of view. If you think the author’s writing style was good in the previous offerings, you'll find that she gets even better in this one. Here, I found Kyle’s character develop into a mature and selfless individual and turn into an even more lovable hero. His unique persona although at times headstrong and prone to tunnel vision, also shows in the latter part of the book his growth; amidst all that drama in his life, he is willing to take a risk and compromise.

“There are two pillars of happiness: One is love. The other is finding a way of coping with life that does not push love away”

I noticed a considerable development in Juniper’s character but most often her hemming and hawing about certain decisions were really irritating. If only I could have reached inside my Kindle and given her a good slap for causing so much drama and self-inflicted heartache. I do admire her dedication to her career and her quest for self-growth but come on girl, you need to make up your mind!

This book is so much more than just a love story of two special individuals, the author also gives us more of Kyle’s family background and a very thorough insight into his psyche. I must admit I liked Kyle more than Juniper, his intelligence, vulnerability and generous spirit made him the perfect hero in a love story and you will certainly fall head-over-heels in love/lust with him. Juniper’s loyalty and caring for her brother, Cypress, her willingness to sacrifice the love of family over her happily-ever-after is a shining example of a true heroine.

This is a remarkable story of unique characters and the twists in the plot amidst the rollercoaster of emotions make this an unforgettable saga. I was so emotionally invested in Juniper and Kyle’s relationship that the long wait for the follow-up was worth the whiplash their story gave me. My only gripe is this book doesn’t have an epilogue although there is definitely closure in the last chapter. Highly recommended!

Finally we get the much anticipated conclusion to Juniper Smoke, with Sadia Ash bringing us Finding Juniper. I felt like I have found a missing piece of myself when I read Finding Juniper. Like coming home to an old friend. It was a humbling and beautiful experience to read this story. I waited my whole life for this. This story is written in a way that seems so normal, but says so much. Much more than is written on the pages. So powerfully heartfelt. There is nothing ordinary about this book. It is unique and belongs in a category that hasn't even been discovered yet. It is far superior than a mot of others in this genre. That is not saying that other authors are not talented. That is just saying Sadia Ash is just better than the best. I was totally owned and spellbound by Juniper and Kyle. The story swung so many ways, it was hard to predict the outcome. I had my hopes, and lets say readers need to read it to find out the ending of their journey. Reading Finding Juniper is a privilege that needs to be shared. Sadia Ash is an author that needs to be recognised for the raw talent that she is. 5 stars for this amazing story. 5 stars for the amazing series, and 5 stars for the amazing author. Take a bow, Sadia Ash.

Holy freaking moly....this goes strait up to my top 10 best reads of this year!

FYI, I will NOT give any information of the contents of Finding Juniper. You have to experience this continuation all on your own. Believe me, it’s gonna be magic.

From the first to the last word I was hooked, had at least 7 nearly heart attacks and a constant pulse around 200 bpm.
Getting in bed around 6 a.m. after I pulled an all-nighter, emotionally drained and happy as one can be, I think FJ was so, so worth the wait.

Sadia Ashraf has painted a picture with the colors of pain and healing, woven a blanket with the strings of past, present and future and composed a symphony with the cruel and beautiful sounds of hate and love.

Both, Juniper and Kyle, are maturing so much, they change so much and still, they never were so much themselves.
They’re such strong characters, even if they both seem to think they’re weak.
I loved to see them chase their dreams, fighting for the things they want and cast the shadows over with the light in their souls.

Sure, my review isn’t that detailed about the contents of the book. I know I don’t have the best or most intriguing phrases to praise the story. But one thing I know with 100% certainty: this duet is one of the best out there.
It is exzellent researched for its historically, technologically and geographically departments. It hasn’t any dumb overdramatized, unrealistic scenarios and, in my opinion, it shows almost every possible human weakness or strength.

You’re still not convinced to try out this adventure with aaaall the FEELS?
Maybe this will give you the push in the right direction: You’re a sucker for second chance romance with many exciting ups and downs,and some seriously sizzling sexy times? Both books are just what you need!

5 very well deserved stars!

This slow burn is coming to an end.

This series is slowly ending for me and the flow of this story about history, about breakups, about heartaches, about trust, suicide, angst and death, but it also gives an incite of forgiveness and letting go.

I’m just going to say that although I love Juniper I also didn’t like her at times, but she definitely grows on you. Whereas for Kyle, when we left off on book 2 here we get to read of Kyle’s past and present. To understand Kyle is to know what happened and just be prepared for I totally felt like he was getting beat down too many times. Kyle went through so much from a young age to his YA days that his demons overrode his ability to even feel. He might not be perfect but Kyle tried and fought to make things right, yet in the end you just wished for his HEA.

Finding Juniper by Sadia Ash has been a long time coming! I have been waiting for the conclusion of Kyle and Juniper’s story for a long time and it is finally here! I loved it! Even as they each broke my heart in very different ways. Kyle is a broken man with a load of issues and Juniper is fighting through her own emotional hang-ups. Were they destined to implode right from the start?

In this book we pick up where we left off in the previous book and takes us on whirlwind journey of love, forgiveness and hope. Juniper is done with Kyle. She loves him but is not sure she can ever trust him again. Kyle wants her back but struggles to be the man she wants him to be. But once things begin to fall apart, there seems to be no way back for Kyle and Juniper.

I have never met two people who were more stubborn or more unique, but things have never been normal for these two. Then it looks like they may have a second chance, but is it too late? They both had so many obstacles to overcome separately and together. I loved seeing Kyle open up and be vulnerable in this story and Juniper’s caring and loyalty expand to Kyle. Finding Juniper by Sadia Ash is not a standalone. Juniper Smoke must be read first. I loved the conclusion to Juniper and Kyle’s epic romance!

4.5 stars! Loved it! Read and reviewed for Sultry Siren Book Blog.

Happy reading!

WOW, just wow!!!!!!!!!!

Finding Juniper is the conclusion to Juniper Smoke and starts right where that one finished. I fell in love with Kyle and Juniper and was so excited to find out what happened next in this book. Kyle and Juniper had their ups and downs. Kyle lived a different lifestyle and had to learn a lot. Juniper had her own problems as well. I loved following them in their journey! There were so many different emotions that ran through me. Happiness, frustration, anger, laughing, and there were tears shed.

Sadia Ash has a way with words. I love that there is so much detail and explanation. Makes you feel very connected to the characters and happenings. The wait for this book was well worth it. Loved it!

Kyle and Juniper two people in love but stubborn and the past life just keeps ending up swallowing them both whole. This book starts right up where last one ended. I loved Juniper’s feelings because I felt them in the words exactly how she felt I was thinking. This book we see another side to Kyle and I loved it. I felt Kyles pain and you understand why he is basically a wall to feelings. Drama, intense and more importantly how love and what people do in your life can unfortunately change your life forever. Unless you meet that one person who changes your life forever. 5/5 stars

Where do I even start? Sigh, sigh, sigh. I hate romances a lot of the time. They’re cheesy, corny, predictable, and often misogynistic. And what started my foray into the romance genre was Sadia Ash’s book ‘Juniper Smoke’ which I found randomly on Amazon in 2017. I’ve now read that book 2.5 times. I love it so much. And when she FINALLY released the sequel - ‘Finding Juniper’ — of course I jumped at it!

The thing about Sadia’s writing is that once you start, you can’t stop. It’s addictive, intoxicating, and wonderful. The dialogue is so clever and witty (especially from Juniper). And this is one of the VERY few romance novels I’ve read where the main female character has more than 2 brain cells. Praise! The characters are fully fleshed, and are brazen, passionate, loveable, hateful, vengeful, terrible, indifferent, and kind. You get to see the spectrum. And at the heart of the book is true humanity. Absolutely wonderful!

The only reason it’s 4/5 is that I felt more emotionally connected and torn apart and in love with the first book. This one was wonderful too, but it didn’t rock my world like Juniper Smoke did. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the ending, or the way Juniper was acting like a lost puppy for a lot of it. It might be my strong-headedness and stubborn nature, but there were many times that Kyle was a downright asshole and I just wanted her to move on and STICK to it. I wanted her to just get it on with Dean already.

* sigh * Maybe I just have a soft spot for the artsy nerd type?

More drama awaits…

I somehow thought that Kyle and Juniper were going to finally, finally, find their even keel. That level of understanding that meant smooth sailing ahead. Of course, that happily didn’t happen. Not that I didn’t want them to see each other clearly. To understand that their love was above all the misunderstandings and challenges. These two were at loggerheads from the beginning with snappy dialogue and an attraction that brought them closer despite all the obstacles they faced. Did I mention complicated? Yeah, that is a great big understatement! Family and history that popped up with distressing regularity to throw spanner after spanner into their relationship…

There was mystery and a feeling of surreal around their conversations and revelations. A feeling that something bigger, even more, was just beyond the next sentence and paragraph… Kyle was a bit abrasive with his choice of words at times making me shake my head, wanting to shake him. Juniper was just as I remembered her, and I so wanted her to finally have the love she deserved…

Part one and two can be found in this long and chock-a-block full instalment but we still don’t find out their final fate. There is a doozy of a cliffhanger (again) that had me muttering ‘what, what, what’…. Back in waiting mode I hope the wait for the wrap up story is not very long…

This story picks up where the first book in the series, Juniper Smoke, left off. Kyle is desperate, Juniper walked out on him and he wants her back. He is the only man Juniper ever wanted but his ruthless behavior hurt her deeply, he betrayed her confidence. Their reunion is bittersweet and painful. Juniper is determined to make him fall in love again, but his apparent indifference breaks her heart. Kyle is back to his robotic ways and systems.

This book really creates a roller coaster of emotions for the reader. The characters became completely realistic to me. Their chemistry really made the story. It got me totally invested in their relationship and totally addicted to the story. Their mood swings and mixed signals were confusing at times. I’ll be honest, I was still a little unsure of Kyle, he is a jerk, but an irresistible one. Sadia Ash did such a great job of softening my heart towards him. The story features some very satisfying emotional growth from both Kyle and Juniper. They are as different as night and day, and yet when they come together they are the absolute best versions of each other. The romance, the plot, the characters, all of it combines to make an absolutely unforgettable story. It's heartbreaking, heart stopping, exciting, romantic, passionate and satisfying.

Finding Juniper is the third book in the Smoke series by Sadia Ash. I was so excited to find that this book had finally been released, as I had been waiting to continue Juniper and Kyle’s story. I loved the first two books, so I did have quite a lot of expectation for this one. I am happy to say that this story was worth the wait and Ms. Ash lived up to all my expectations, delivering a captivating story that had me hooked from the very first page.
As with the first two books, the characters are complex, well-developed individuals with their own quirks and flaws. They were completely believable, and very easy to get emotionally invested in. They were so well written, and I loved how they continued to develop and grow over the course of the series. There were times they frustrated me so badly that I really wanted to knock their heads together and tell them to get their acts together, but I adored them non-the-less.
The story has a lot going on in it, but in a good way- Ms. Ash masterfully choreographs all the elements into a smooth and engrossing read. There was plenty of emotion, suspense, tension, drama, chemistry, steam, and some humour- which made for an exciting read!
I really can’t wait to see what Ms. Ash does next!

Thank you, Ms. Ash!

You must read Juniper Smoke first

Juniper fell in love with Kyle and thought he fell in love with her but once the past adn truth started to come out Juniper had to walk away. Kyle retreated back to his cold self and tried to forget her but he couldn't..

He decides to try and make her fulfill their agreement and while she doesn't want to his dad's dying wish makes her give it a chance.. Can she get Kyle to fall back in love with her and have a real relationship?

This is the sequel to an up and down love story.. Can Kyle break the wall down and be the man Juniper needs?

Wow, I am so late to the party with this one, and I am sorta glad.
The epic beginning of Kyle and Juniper’s story (Juniper Smoke) was just that…EPIC. For many, there was a long gap between books, but I JUST read Juniper Smoke last week and only had a 3 day wait for Finding Juniper. (Many have been waiting years) I applaud all of those who lasted long, but I have a feeling they agree that the wait was worth it.

Two people who are lost and damaged, two souls who were meant to be together, when their worlds collide the fireworks are never-ending. The magnificent writing of Sadia Ash had me entranced, and I just couldn’t stop. Hearing the story with a dual point of view was necessary and meaningful.

I loved seeing the development and growth of these two characters from beginning to end. They often didn’t see eye to eye, but their love and devotion were strong. Kyle often was unable to show Juniper his feelings. His childhood was a mess, never feeling loved or wanted has stunted his ability to display and feel emotion. Juniper, however, was the catalyst to bring him back to life.

Juniper grew up a man-hater, someone who’s mother told her never to trust a man….ever. Her instinct was to not believe Kyle, but her heart knew otherwise. Juniper began this journey a different woman, but as time progresses, she becomes stronger, more confident and this was one of my most favorite parts of the entire series. Seeing her coming into herself. As she grew stronger, we begin to look at Kyle learn to let go, be himself, feel the world around him. It was beautiful to watch it all unfold.

These books have given new meaning to angst. The back and forth was brisk and often, the need to scream at my kindle severe at times. Their inability to acknowledge their feelings, to each other, wasn’t due to immaturity or stupidity, but for the way, they both were raised. Their relationship was the perfect storm. Their need for each other outweighed their beliefs in that needing a partner was necessary for happiness and a fulfilled life.

This is one of those books that stays with you, gives you the flutters in your stomach and make you smile one moment and cry at the next. A roller coaster of excitement, the highs, and the ultimate lows, their sorrows and their ecstasy sneaking into your bones.

Sadia Ash has outdone herself with Finding Juniper, giving us the epic conclusion to Kyle and Juniper's story.

5 stars! Worth the wait!

I waited 2 years, 5 months and 5 days to read this sequel and it was worth the wait! I’ll admit I was a bit nervous as I am a very picky reader, but Sadia Ash did an amazing job and went above and beyond my expectations.

I won’t give away the plot - just know that they finally get their happy ending and to expect the unexpected! It’s angsty, raw, emotional, full of beautiful and poignant moments that definitely make this a top favorite of 2018!

I was sucked in while reading it and whenever I had to stop, the story stayed on my mind constantly. I was anxious to finish it as I needed to know what was going to happen next. I’m hoping Sadia writes more of these characters in the future!

This author is an excellent storyteller and you need to discover her now if you haven’t yet! Definitely the best way to end 2018 and a must-read series I highly recommend!

The long-awaited sequel to ‘Juniper Smoke’, this story continues right where the first book ended. One of my favorite books, I cannot recommend ‘Juniper Smoke’ highly enough! A perfect romantic comedy, Kyle and Juniper’s story was sweet, intelligent and action-packed. In the sequel, Kyle is desperate to get Juniper back. Will he ever be able to win back her confidence?

”The distance of time between him and Juniper was always there. The distance was clockwise and counter-clockwise. It was a time with no end. It was a clock with no hands. Today he would find out if they could meet halfway. Or maybe not. Maybe they were clock hands, destined to stay apart.”

Juniper and Kyle are meant for each other, but she was so hurt by his betrayal that she cannot let him close again, no matter what her heart says. Kyle seems to have reverted back to his old ways (if you’ve read the first book, you’ll know what this means!)

This book was a total rollercoaster for me. Just when I thought Kyle and Juniper would finally get past their emotional roadblocks, something would happen to set them back. The dialogue in this story is top-notch and completely realistic. There is no unnecessary drama and the crisp pacing made for a very readable story.

”He was the best thing that ever happened to me and the most awful one too. Kyle was so different from what I wanted in a man and… yet he was the only man I ever wanted. What had happened to us? We could’ve been so great. But we weren’t lucky at all. Maybe in round two…

I was completely invested in this story and loved the unusual and well-researched locations! The characters’ constant back-and-forth was perfect for the story. I adored the first book and this sequel satisfied my cravings for more of this fascinating couple. Sadia Ash is an incredibly talented and creative writer and I love the world of Juniper and Kyle! They are one of the funniest, most passionate and romantic fictional couples I’ve read and I can’t wait to see what this author comes up with next!

So, back in 2016 I was in a book rut of epic proportions... everything I picked up I either couldn’t finished. Or they just let me blah... I was disillusioned with romance because a lot of authors were following the safe trend... I craved something different.

So I picked up a little book (ha if you’ve seen the print version you’d giggle at me calling it a little book... it’s a sweeping 700 page saga steeped in relatable characters and originality...) and since I have been eagerly anticipating the conclusion to Kyle and Juniper’s story.

You know what they say.... good things come to those who wait. Yes, we have had to wait almost 2 years for Finding Juniper. I know this irritated some people. Here’s what I have to say about that. You can’t rush perfection and patience pays off.

From the very first page we are brought right back into Kyle’s clockwork mind... yes, he’s not your typical orthodox romance book hero... to those of us who have read and loved Kyle’s character from the beginning you have to appreciate returning to his thought process. But there’s some changes in Finding Juniper. After the events of the second novel in the series his mind is whirling like a maelstrom. While he’s constantly telling himself that everything is the same... that he’s got this covered. That’s the thing about love... and letting someone under your skin. And this is played up in the first few pages of the novel in brilliant detail.

The first meeting of Kyle and Juniper went over like a ton of bricks haha for her especially and I loved the juxtaposition between their characters at this point. We see how things have changed but how they can’t deny the chemistry and magnetic pull they both feel.

And thus begins a unforgettable read. I won’t go into tons of specifics here but let me tell you the bouquet of locations and emotions and detail creates an exquisitely decadent story.

One of my favorite things about this author’s writing style is the level of detail she gives to not just the big cinematic moments, but to those small quiet moments as well. It all cumulates in to this spectacular ending that leaves the reader breathless and wanting more. I know when I read Juniper Smoke that it easily blew past the competition to claim the top spot on my Best Reads of the Year list and with Finding Juniper it leaps ahead of all the other books I have read this year to take its rightful place on the throne.

Tell your friends who aren’t typically “romance readers” let them know that this saga is so much more.

Before I get into my thoughts on this epic conclusion, I have to step onto my soap box for a second. See, Finding Juniper is the second book in this story, and in case some didn't notice I said conclusion, I will be clear that YOU MUST READ Juniper Smoke (Book 1 which is Part 1 & 2) FIRST. There's just no ands/ifs/or buts about it. Now, the absolutely amazing Sadia Ash has picked Finding Juniper with Kyle & Juniper in a very bad place, and it looks like there's no way that they'll ever be together to be honest. It seems like the hurdles they have to overcome are just too many. It's told in dual POV, and thankfully, Kyle really grew on me this round, because honestly, he's been complicated for me to love to be honest. I don't want to get into it, as it would give too much away, plus it's my personal opinion. I'm not saying that Juniper doesn't have her own issues to fix, at times she had me wanting to shake her until her teeth rattled, but I've fully been planted in her camp since day 1. What I can say is these two are realistic, which makes it a more emotional journey, not to mention highly original. I was completely invested, as Ms. Ash really transported me into their world, because nothing was rushed as it all played out fully. I'm excited to see what this author comes out with next, and HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL!

The 3rd and final installment of Juniper and Kyle’s love story is expertly written in Dual POV. The conclusion to Kyle and Juniper`s story that began in Juniper Smoke; when we left the pair at the end of book 1 and 2 -Juniper Smoke, Juniper and Kyle left off broken up and not in a good place. Finding Juniper picks up where the last book left off. In this book, we get more than the love story- the author gives us more of Kyle’s family background and a thorough insight into his psyche and his thinking. It helps show why he does some of the stupid things that cause so much of the heartbreak between him and Juniper. What a rollercoaster ride that Juniper and Kyle go on that is full of on whirlwind journey of love, forgiveness and hope. If there is anything that I would have liked to have had more of or seen, I would have liked more of the epilogue. I felt it was more of a HFN epilogue and because of how their relationship was, it would have been better to have a HEA ending , but that's just my opinion. The writing is great and the heat is sizzling hot.

My Rating: 4.5 stars *****

Finding Juniper was everything I wanted it to be!

I couldn't wait to dive into Finding Juniper, having just recently finished Juniper Smoke. With a storyline that good, I needed more Juniper and Kyle. Sadia Ash picked up right where the first book ended and I literally held my breath as I learned so much more about these two amazing characters. Again, it felt so much more than two people placed inside a story. It was that journey that I traveled on in book one, all over again.

I'm not sure where Sadia Ash has been hiding in my reading world, but I sure am glad I got the chance to read her breath-taking words. She's truly an author that needs to be shouted from the rooftops because she will take your heart places you never thought possible.

I’ve been waiting on this next chapter!

The much anticipated sequel to Juniper Smoke is finally here and I couldn't have been more excited to dive in after the last books cliffie ending!

Kyle and Juniper have faced everything that could stop a love such as theirs from sprouting to its full potential, but at the end it's up to them to decide exactly how far they are willing to go to let their seed of love thrive. Dive in and find out how it all plays out!

Definitely recommend their books!

We met Juniper and Kyle in Juniper Smoke, but it is in this book that we finally get to know them, and it was well worth the wait.

This story begins where Juniper Smoke ended and there is a wedge between Juniper and Kyle of epic proportions. If they are going to find their way back to each other they will need to deal with their pasts which amps up the emotion and drama but like most things in life their love is worth fighting for.

The changes in the characters over the course of the series as they mature and realize what is truly important only makes us love them more. At times this story could either be heartbreaking or heartwarming, but it definitely made you feel.

Kyle and Juniper are back in Finding Juniper and pick up right where they left off in Juniper Smoke. You will love the growth and changes in both Kyle and Juniper. Both are still stubborn when it comes to a lot of things. But you get them trying more instead of running. Kyle is a tad bit controlling but he is getting so much better with being more human and less robotic. With Juniper you get that she is finally trying to put herself first. I still love the give and take between Juniper and Kyle. In their own ways they are perfect for each other. Your heart is just going to melt by the time you are done reading this on. Finding Juniper is an amazing read. If you love those stubborn I don't know which one I want to smack more reads then pick up this series.

I wish there was an EPIC Golden Star that surpasses 5 stars because that is what Finding Juniper is categorized! I have waited for this final installment for so long...over a year long. I have been epically teased with little blurbs here and there. I have been teased with Kyle and Juniper quotes accompanied by some beautiful pictures and I have finally read and finished Finding Juniper written by the amazing and talented Sadia!

This story could have not have been written on a whim! It is quite evident as you read, how thorough and precise Sadia was in delivering the final installment in the Kyle and Juniper series. I have a new found love for art and history. I want to travel to London and Ireland. When I walk around and see art, I see the beauty and wonder how this art piece was created all because of Juniper Mills. In my next life, I want to be a curator!

Believe me when I tell you how incredibly talented Sadia is with her talent to put words onto paper, form a story, create characters that instantly connect with your soul, and to phenomenally create a story as wonderful as Finding Juniper.

This isn’t your quick HEA story. No, it is a novel in which you will laugh, get angry, cry, and feel emotions you probably did not know existed only because you’ve never experienced a love like Kyle’s and Juniper’s.

Juniper and Kyle have grown and matured in this final book and what a beautiful journey to have experienced while reading.

Sadia has created and delivered a story of second chances. A story in which many of us would have walked away in the eyes of defeat the first time. Juniper learns that she is much more than just a museum curator in Ann Arbor while Kyle learns to break through those robotic tendencies and allows his heart to feel. Kyle and Junipers journey is no easy ride, but well worth it to take all the way to the end. Take the ride through their trials and tribulations and witness for yourself such courageous, heart splitting, and unconditional love at its best.

Please take the Kyle and Juniper journey because it is absolutely incredible. Sadia is an incredible author who captures your attention right from the start. Her words take you through the book so effortlessly. You will want to stay up hours reading or spend every spare minute you have reading. Happy Reading!!

More drama awaits…

I somehow thought that Kyle and Juniper were going to finally, finally, find their even keel. That level of understanding that meant smooth sailing ahead. Of course, that happily didn’t happen. Not that I didn’t want them to see each other clearly. To understand that their love was above all the misunderstandings and challenges. These two were at loggerheads from the beginning with snappy dialogue and an attraction that brought them closer despite all the obstacles they faced. Did I mention complicated? Yeah, that is a great big understatement! Family and history that popped up with distressing regularity to throw spanner after spanner into their relationship…

There was mystery and a feeling of surreal around their conversations and revelations. A feeling that something bigger, even more, was just beyond the next sentence and paragraph… Kyle was a bit abrasive with his choice of words at times making me shake my head, wanting to shake him. Juniper was just as I remembered her, and I so wanted her to finally have the love she deserved…

Part one and two can be found in this long and chock-a-block full instalment but we still don’t find out their final fate. There is a doozy of a cliffhanger (again) that had me muttering ‘what, what, what’…. Back in waiting mode I hope the wait for the wrap up story is not very long…

Kyle Paxton and Juniper Mills have been on a collision course, both fighting their destinies, for more than a year. Kyle is terrified of falling in love and becoming dependent on anyone . . . people leave. And, Juniper is afraid to trust anyone but herself and her twin, always looking towards the past and never the future. Complete opposites, they are truly perfect for each other if they can only stop hurting themselves and each other first but just trusting in what they have together.

Finding Juniper picks up where Juniper Smoke ended and cannot be read as a standalone. With an intense past, their present and possible future is also full of drama, intensity and is an emotional roller coaster that will have readers rethinking everything they know about romance. It’s so clear that this couple loves each other . . . yet making it work may not be in the cards for them even though they can’t quit each other.

This series has been an incredible and truly emotional journey that has captivated me from start to finish. It was easy to get lost in these characters and their story and root for them to find their happy ever afters, whether together or apart. This was a truly stunning conclusion for Kyle and Juniper. 5 Stars.

The long awaited “Finding Juniper” has arrived and man— what a conclusion to #Kyle and #Juniper.

These two have held a very special place in my heart from the very beginning. There is just something about two completely opposite people, who has such strong feelings for one another, that it makes living without them impossible— but living with each other could also be destructive.

Kyle’s lifestyle, as you discover in book one, is very detailed but also very alpha— where Kyle has a known history of wanting everything to run smoothly and by a system...but Juniper is having non of that....why you ask? Well, Juniper is a free soul. One who loves living in the moment and “living”. She feels that his way of living is holding him back from really being able to give someone everything. She loves living spontaneously... and this drives Kyle crazy... both in a good way and bad. Juniper is completely against his system and “rules” and she isn’t afraid to let him know. But yet this arrogant man, pulls her in, in a way she never imagined. (Once you read Juniper Smoke and understand her past ... you will understand more.... so go read part 1 NOW!!!)

As you know from book one, they had many moments where they butted heads and fought. Book two is similar but yet different. They come together in ways you might not think for two people who are so very different. They both have to give up some things of their past and can they do that to make this relationship work?? As this will be the only way they can have a future. But Kyle and Juniper are both stubborn and it won’t be no easy feat for these two to do. But for love???? Maybe they can. Or maybe it will destroy them? Grab book 1 & 2 today and read Kyle and Juniper’s amazing journey as they find themselves amongst all the past history but also as they try to find each other.

5 stars!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
