Smoke Series #2
Kyle and Juniper
In the age of hookups, can love survive the test of time?
“Is love dead?” Juniper asks. “There was a time when love was prized in novels and poems and not hushed up like a dirty secret -- when a couple’s worth was not sized up by their kinkiness, designer diamonds, limos and mansions but by how much love they had for each other.”
On paper, Kyle and Juniper are opposites who should never be together, but they are unable to stay away. Navigating a long-distance relationship takes work and creativity but navigating the tension between true love and its modern interpretation is an even bigger challenge. Get ready for another fun ride as Juniper and Kyle fall in love over time and place.

Juniper and Kyle wow what a intense attraction. Can Juniper be with a man who doesn’t believe in love? I love this second part and couldn’t stop turning the pages! What a epic story that keeps ya on your toes and want more! Definitely don’t pass this series up! 5/5 stars

Wow, I am was so late to the party with this series but I am so glad I read them.. Life changing books!
Kyle and Juniper, the 2nd book in the series was full of action and angst. Something I am a HUGE fan of when reading!
These 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 Kyle and Juniper.

Such an amazing series. My review is broken in two as the book as originally that way.
Book 1: I loved the flow of this book. You get to see a romance develope that you didn't really think would happen. I instantly fell in love with the characters I love the nerd appeal. They both seem to have some relationship issues and I can honestly say I would never see them get together in real life but the connection is so gripping. The story is beautifully written and will have you on the edge of your seat. The conflicts really add to the book and have you connect with the characters on another level. I consumed this book in one sitting and can't wait to see what happens in the next book
Book 2: This book picks up where the last one left off. It's a beautiful story about finding yourself and learning how to openly love another. The writing will draw you in after only a few pages and have you finishing the book in one sitting. There is the perfect amount of angst and romance to keep you hooked. I loved how the relationship unfolded slowly so we could see these amazing characters grow in ways they never expected. I would suggest picking up a copy of both books asap you won't be disappointed.

Kyle and Juniper picked up where Juniper Smoke left off. Juniper and Kyle are going to make an attempt at a relationship of some sort. The chemistry between them is off the charts and both are finding this as a new experience. Book 2 finds the couple navigating the world as a couple when neither has played this role before. Will Kyle and Juniper be able to withstand the storm outside their little bubble?
OMG I am loving this series! I jumped right into book 2 as soon as I finished book 1. The characters are taking on a life of their own. I love Kyle despite his crazy system. The author has really given this series it own twists. It is hard to keep up with who is friend or foe. Can't wait to jump into book 3.

Can polar opposites attract and stick? There is a constant ebb and flow to Kyle and Juniper's relationship and although the underlying love is there, their inability to meet at a common ground is hampering them from getting together. The prose wraps you into the story and you can't help but cheer them on and wish for thier HEA along with them. This story pushes thier boundries and broadens thier awareness. Cannot wait for more.
July 2, 2019
Definitely a story for the true romantic at heart. Kyle and Juniper will take you on a roller coaster ride, to say the least. I laughed. I cried. I got mad at both of them and other characters in the story. You get so lost. You forget you are reading a book. I cannot wait to read Finding Juniper. Add this to your library. You will be happy you did.

Really superb second installment of these two. It pulled at every heart string! So different in many fundamental ways, love has a power to be a great equalizer. Not without hard work and devotion, not just to each other but to themselves and their love. Can't wait for the conclusion.
May 30, 2019
Another awesome installment of the Juniper series...great segway into next book. I love the characters and story line looking forward to next book.

What happens when two people from two different worlds fall in love. What a great story. Can wait to read the next book.
May 18, 2019
This is book two in the series and it did not disappoint!! Amazing characters (for the most part when a certain male isn't acting arrogant) that you will be cheering for to get it together and get their HEA. These two are total opposites to me but they work. The story is so well written that you actually feel as if you're one of the characters living the story. For me this was an easy read because you are so invested you won't want to put it down. I can't wait for the next one!!

Juniper says Yes to Kyle’s proposal. Kyle and Juniper see each every weekend. They work their jobs during the week and have a weekend together. It works and she meets the Paxton family and Denise gets a hold of Juniper and lets her insecurities get the better of her. She wants to run but Kyle talks to her and gets her to stay. They have a fantastic couple of months until things go from good to bad to heart break and the only thing she can do is run and protect herself from any more pain even tho her heart belongs to Kyle and it will basically break her for anyone else. She needs to go. Will Kyle understand or expect how Juniper is? I need the next book.
May 14, 2019
Book 2 picks up right where book 1 ends, I couldn't wait to see what happens next for these two characters, can these two opposites attract. Kyle and Juniper decide to try a relationship, with a few sets of rules, but will these 2 give themselves a shot?. This series isn't a standalone book one Juniper smoke must be read before starting this one, but once you start, it won't be long before you devour it and onto the next in the series.

Kyle and Juniper become more intense with each turn of the page. As the two set off into a relationship that neither of them ever thought they would dive into, tensions rise and fall as jealousy and past rears it's ugly head.
These two have such a unique love story that you just can't put the book down and walk away for fear of what happens next.
Angst. Passion. Emotions. Jealousy. LOVE?
Kyle and Juniper is a fantastic read.
*NOTE - You must read Juniper Smoke before reading Kyle and Juniper. This series is not a standalone book series.

Kyle and Juniper are one of my favorite couples. Sadia had me swooning and rooting so hard for these two!! I loved these books so much that I purchased the paperbacks.

Kyle is so much more.
So far this series has been anything but amazing. I love that in this book it’s more on Kyle you get to see the layers of him, and you also get to understand how and why Kyle became the man he is, the secrets the OCD behaviour, and even though lots have happened between them two I am so team Kyle. A little disappointing for me is Juniper I love her but then again I felt like she just couldn’t not just once listen to Kyle.

Kyle and Juniper
Kyle and Juniper picks up exactly where Juniper Smoke ended. Kyle and Juniper are going to work on having a relationship, even if Juniper signed the papers for an end date. It's the first weekend, and while Juniper wanted to surprise Kyle and plan the entire weekend, he surprises her first. The chemistry and strong feelings, dare I say love, that these two have for each other is uncharted. Kyle is really changing his way of thinking and doing things. He in including Juniper in everything and thinking of a future together, but she starts talking about the end date. Kyle is telling everyone Juniper is his girlfriend. He's even talking of a future with her with Evan - all HUGE steps for him. Kyle tells Juniper they have three rules, at the end of this book - Juniper breaks all of them. I was so upset at her for her reaction to all that Denise told her - especially when she knew she should have gotten away from Denise and not listened, and she saw how Kyle was looking for her and put off his speaking to find her. There are so many other things going on here - Kyle's family, Juniper's mentor offering her a job in England/Scotland. Cypress is thriving and has his own girlfriend, and seems to have a good friendship/relationship with Kyle. Juniper's mom has left the apartment a few times. All things Juniper should be thankful for. This one ended in a big cliff hanger, and I am ready to read book 3 to see how it all goes. I am so invested in these characters, and really I am in awe of how much Kyle has grown and changed. Still want to know more about him and Chloe. I'd also like to understand the relationship with Min-Juan a little more. Also would like more on the Denise thing and why she hates him so much and wants to destroy him. Something just doesn't add up with her, and I hate that she seems to have gotten Juniper. These characters and all the others and the style of writing of this author, draw you in, and you are invested in the characters, and sometimes you are screaming at them, and you don't want to put the book down until you are done, but you love it so much you also don't want it to be over. Pick this series up, and read it!

Kyle and Juniper’s love story continues. You just know that Kyle’s behavior and unemotional attachments were caused by his past. Chloe still haunts him as he struggles to build a relationship with Juniper. Kyle and Juniper are opposites being drawn together with magnetism that won’t quit. Juniper believes the best in people not experiencing first hand the evils that lurk with Denise and Royce.
Just when you thought Kyle and Juniper would overcome their opposite backgrounds and experience, the other shoe drops and Denise pulls the rug from under Juniper.
I know there’s more to the Chloe story. As for Denise, she can just fall in a manhole that’s missing it’s cover. So glad that I can jump right into Book 3, Finding Juniper, to have all the gaps filled in. Very enjoyable read, Saida! i received the book for my honest review.

I kept thinking this is like Fifty Shades of Grey without the Red Room lol. I loved Fifty Shades so it was fine with me. I did want to knock both of them up side the head with something quite often. Two stubborn people, so different but so alike. We have a virgin museum worker, a rich broken CEO, his gay bff/non blood brother, a bitchy VP, a conniving politician brother and his evil bitch of a fiancée, his wacky family, her wacky family, drama and love.

Kyle and Juniper by Sadia Ash is Book 2 in the Smoke series We get to have some more fun and excitement as we get to know these two interesting characters a bit more. These two just shouldn’t be together but there is just so much pull between them and they just can’t resist one another. There were some parts that just dragged out for me but overall a good story and can’t wait for more from these two. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
June 22, 2019
This is book two and follows up where Juniper Smoke leaves off. Juniper and Kyle continue to work on their relationship through distance and bumps in the road.
These two are opposites who blend well together without sacrificing or losing themselves which I loved.
Loved the location setting and I enjoy these characters so much! I received a copy of this book and I am volunteering to leave my review

I think they are slowly wearing each other down. Kyle is still obviously controlling, wanting Juniper to drop everything and just go where he wants her to. There are reasons why she shouldn't or couldn't, but she mostly gives in. Part of me hates it but part of me is happy he's not giving her an option. Juniper is making Kyle relax his rules and learn to let go some, but I wonder if it will end up in disaster? On to book 3...
May 17, 2019
Yes, yes, yes. Book 2 is even better than book 1. Ok so to be honest I wasn't sure if I would read book 2 after reading book 1, however I am really happy I did. Again, I have to commend this author on her great writing skills, you make these characters so real. This book is just fantastic. Highly recommended.
May 19, 2019
Holy wow! Juniper Smoke is a fantastic book. The author did an amazing job with the chemistry of the characters and bringing the storyline together! I have read book one and two in the Smoke Series and I cannot wait to see what will happen in book three and four. I'm officially hooked on this series!
May 24, 2019
Book 2 in Kyle and Juniper's love and life story. This one is full of great moments for them, but it's also full with angst, more secrets and a little more drama. It also ends on a stronger cliffhanger than book one.
I hope we get resolution on the last book and that all those crazy characters get what they deserve. Overall, very good book.

This is book 2 in the Smoke series. Must read book 1 because this begins where book 1 ended. Kyle and Juniper are great characters. They are the total opposites of each other and are so stubborn. Sometimes i wanted to scream at them and hit them on the back of the head. This book is well written and the characters are great. Can't wait to read the next book in the series.
July 3, 2019
Kyle and Juniper are very different but they seem to work together and reading this second book was great and I just about to read the third book to find out what happens next for I am really enjoying this couple.
September 24, 2019
The perfect sequel to what was already a perfect beginning. But not perfect in the easy way; perfect in that real life, messy way that aches and twists and turns until you're not sure they can take anymore. Yet they do, you do. And in the pain there is hope...
July 12, 2025
At times, all I wanted to do was scream at Kyle to stop thinking one way and acting another.
Then I wanted to slap Juniper for listening to Denise, especially after she purposely spilt her drink on her.
IMO the book didn’t need to be so long.

This is the part 2 of the Smoke Series. Book I is Juniper Smoke. Book II Kyle and Juniper and book III is Finding Juniper.
June 1, 2019
Juniper and Kyle are a relatable couple whom are going through rough times. We get a couple that are very opposite but work so well together and a hero that is not a macho arrogant ass but loves his innocent flower of a women. You see this couple get infiltrated by jealousy and insecurities can they work through it..
