“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 … 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.

EPIC! AMAZING! BEAUTIFUL!
We pick up again with Juniper Mills and Kyle Paxton. They have finally decided to take their relationship all the way and be together with no more secrets.
In this final installment of the Smoke Series, we will see our two love birds making a real go at their relationship. Still insecure in herself Juniper will have some doubts that could risk it all. And Kyle the man of numbers in his head every second of the day is just trying to be the best man he could be for Juniper. But is it enough for him? We go on a final journey with our lovebirds.
This book was amazing to finish off the series! I loved every second of it and it was such a great ending to show us what true love deals with and how to either overcome it or to just change your outlook on life. I’m sad to see these characters go but it’s beautiful and I loved it!
Oh how much do I love these two! This latest installment gave us a more solid foundation to build on as they have both grown, individually and together, and they deserve every bit of happiness. Both of them have had to work SO HARD for everything but I think what they have been through, both apart and together, is whats going to bind them forever. Oh the ANGST, the sweetness, the love… this was such a great ending for them and I highly recommend the whole series!
This is a great wrap up to the Juniper and Kyle story. It’s been a year since they kissed on the cliff in Ireland and they are ready to move in together and begin “real life”. Both Juniper and Kyle have learned to love and trust but can they make it?
Juniper and Kyle finally come together as a solid couple in Loving Juniper, and it’s glorious! This has been a long time coming, and I loved reading how their relationship gelled. How they reveled in their love. How she stopped running. How he tethered her to him. FINALLY!
Loving Juniper by Sadia Ash was the story we have all been waiting for. The conclusion to Kyle and Juniper’s story and it was everything I wanted and more. We left them happy-for-now in Finding Juniper but now, now we have their long awaited happily ever after and I devoured it.
When we first met this couple, they were each going through their own struggles and now we see how far they have come. They are now able to see the other for who they are and who they are together. Juniper followed her dreams and Kyle was able to let her. I loved seeing them together and even though neither is perfect, they were perfect for each other. The perfect ending to a story I loved and unforgettable characters.

Happy reading!
When I found out that Sadia Ash was writing a final chapter to the Smoke series, I may have squealed a tiny bit! I’ve been in absolute love with Kyle and Juniper, a totally unique opposites attract couple since I received book one as a blind date with a book and I was thrilled to watch their epic journey come to this stunning conclusion.
Kyle and Juniper have been oh so wrong and oh so right for each other from the start. Their love has not been easy in any way and their ups and downs have only made them finally reaching their version of happy ever after that much sweeter for readers.
I adored watching Kyle and Juniper finally find their way back to one another. There’s just the right amount of drama in this book, as we know that drama follows this couple around like a black cloud. But, there is so much beauty and light. Having watched the transformation of both characters from book one has been simply stunning. Kyle went from being robotic and unfeeling and contracting out his relationships to understanding what it is to truly love someone and sacrifice for their happiness. And, Juniper has blossomed professionally and personally to become so self assured and ready to fight for and take what she wants. Loving Juniper was a glorious conclusion to a breathtaking series. 5 stars.
That’s all I have ever wanted from Sadia Ash is a happy ending for Kyle and Juniper. She has granted me my wish.
Seeing this couple come full circle and to see their love blossom and bloom was absolute magnificence. I couldn’t have asked for more.
Juniper and Kyle’s adventure has been one of my all-time favorites. Sadia Ash’s writing pulls you in, takes you by the heart and soul and brings you into their world. Sadia’s writing is enthralling, entrancing and beautiful to read. While I was reading the smile on my face was plastered on and there was no way of making my heart grow anymore. Seeing these two grow into the couple they have always been meant to be was surreal and wonderful. There may have been obstacles to get to this point but in Loving Juniper we see their lives become one, their everyday meld into one. The epilogue made my heart bursts and I am hoping that Sadia Ash continues to grace us with her beautiful mind and writing. Seeing more from the characters from this series and hopefully seeing even more of a peek into the HEA of Kyle and Juniper in the coming books.
A bittersweet ending to an epic series! Bitter because Kyle and Juniper are engraved on my heart and I will miss reading their thoughts and emotions very much. Sweet because they worked so extraordinarily hard for their HEA and this wonderful novella made me smile the whole way through. When last we left Kyle and Juniper, it was on the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland mutually declaring their devotion to each other. Loving Juniper is an extended epilogue and homage to the couple and the readers who have loved them. While small in size, it was big on emotion. I loved seeing the character growth for both of them, especially Juniper. Her trust is tested when Kyle’s past rears it’s ugly head and I was so proud of the way she dealt with it. I cheered her on as she let go of her insecurities once and for all and trusted in the love Kyle has for her. He, in turn, let his love for Juniper bloom and it was a beautiful thing to see. Who knew Kyle was so incredibly romantic at heart? Juniper is a lucky woman. This book is not to be missed for those fans of the Smoke Series. If you’re a newbie, start with Juniper Smoke and go from there. The series is complete and was one of my top reads last year.
It’s been amazing getting to know Juniper and Kyle all throughout The Smoke series but watching their love fully blossom and seeing them grow into who they are by the end of Loving Juniper certainly hits the heart strings in the best of ways! It’s like seeing your baby finally grow into who they are meant to be and you can’t help but feel proud to see how far they’ve both gotten, both individually and together. So while it’s sad the series has finally come to an end I can always look back on their story with nothing but fond memories and ok maybe I’ll still want to shake my head at some of their few instances of stubbornness at times lol it’s all worth it. If you haven’t started this series I sincerely hope you do soon!
Juniper and Kyle finally get their HEA!! This is perfect – so in love! FIVE STARS!!
I think I haven’t smiled this much while reading a book since…I don’t know.
I love how far Juniper and Kyle have come, I love their life after all they have been through, I love that they have grown to this solid couple, even if they’re still so unique personalities.
But most of all I loved the last three chapters! #nospoilers
It really came all in a full circle.
I’m happy and sad at the same time. Happy, because JuneBug and Kyle got this amazing, swoonworthy HEA. Sad, because their story is told and came to an end with Loving Juniper.
The sites and feelings and all that angst Sadia Ash created, it was truly a wonderful journey. Her words are always well chosen and her writing and knowledge fascinated me from book one. You can feel that she really gave her heart to these two and poured it all over the pages she wrote.
I can’t wait to read more of her work in the future, even if it takes some time.
And i can’t send more gratitude to her for creating these wonderful characters, because she wrote all these exceptional books while working in a stressful full time. She has my greatest respect.
Thank you Sadia, for being such a nice person, great author and for sharing your talent with the world!!!
“Nothing lasts forever. Friendship ends, lovers fall out of love, marriages break, cities fall, stars implode… Nothing lasts forever.” He’d been wrong. Even then, I had an answer in my heart. Some things are forever. Like love. Like you.”
Finally!! Two years later, we finally get to see the happily ever after for Kyle and Juniper. It’s so beautiful to see how much these two characters have grown. Together. Apart. They finally made it.
Loving Juniper is the final book of the series so it is VERY IMPORTANT to read the first three books. If you are starting with this book, you will miss all of these characters pasts with each other and by themselves.
I really enjoyed reading this book and being able to finally see Juniper and Kyle start their journey together.
Loving Juniper by Sadia Ash is book 4 in the Smoke Series.
I haven’t yet read the previous books that started Juniper and Kyle story that built up to this one. I do feel of course I would have enjoyed their story more if I had read the previous books. But this book was easy to follow and brought me to a happy ending. Although I do think I will back track to get the start of their story.
Overall enjoyed this book!
Fans of the series are going to LOVE this HEA for Kyle and Juniper. Here it is two years later and our couple is finally getting to live the life they both dreamed of.
I loved seeing how each of them has grown since leaving them at the end of Finding Juniper. They finally have found the compromise needed for their HEA.

This is the last instalment to Juniper and Kyle’s epic love story. So if you haven’t read the previous books I suggest you read those first before you get into this one. I promise you it is worth it to get to know them right from the start.
This story picks up two years later when Kyle and Juniper seem to meet at a crossroad. Juniper finished her work in Ireland and Kyle has been patiently waiting for the love of his life to finally move back to where she belongs, by his side. Will they have their happily ever after at last?
I was waiting for this conclusion to Kyle and Juniper’s story and not disappointed with the author’s delivery. I was glad that Ms Ash created these two very interesting characters: Juniper, nerdy and self-doubting, she has accomplished her goals and has grown into a stronger and mature woman and Kyle who wrestled his demons is now at peace with his past. Their initial meeting in book one was memorable although, throughout the previous books they had always struggled with trust and resulted in heartbreak, but I saw the personal growth of these two people and learned to love their imperfections. In this book there were a few hiccups and some bumpy rides but I am glad it was written this way because if it was all unicorns and rainbows for Kyle and Juniper it would have been a boring read.
“Without friendship, love fades fast, as it needs more to survive than lust. Left alone, lust stinks like dried and salted cod.”
The final conclusion of a love story is almost always predictable but this author is clever enough to make their journey more fascinating with Juniper’s insecurities rearing its ugly head again. She manages to talk herself out of it most of the time, and despite Kyle’s inner struggle, he has grown into a better person. This couple fought hard for their relationship and the result is epic. The extended epilogue is a definite bonus and gives us the much-awaited closure. Their unforgettable story will stay with me for a long time and I’m glad I followed through all four books. Highly recommended!
Swoon.
The epic couple of the Smoke series are finally on the same page and are collectively moving forward in their relationship. Kyle has more dimension, Juniper is done running and together they are building a life.
I loved this conclusion
