Proper Impulse (Jaded Lily #4) by Zeia Jameson – Review by Sarah Oakes

Proper Impulse by Zeia Jameson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A great read about differences. Juni is a woman who doesn’t follow the rules but follows her heart instead. One day, she is caught by a police officer while getting clothes from a charity collection bin. She is let go but a few days later meets him again when someone accuses her of stealing coffee. As feelings grow between them, can they reoslve their differences of opinion for the sake of love?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns. Well developed characters like Juni full of attitude but caring underneath or Milo stubborn but kinder underneath. Great cast of supporting characters like the supportive Drew or sweet Mom or the friendly Smithy.
I loved the visual detsil throughout the novel like the sunset in the alley or the moon after the party full of serene colour for a sense of the clam before the storm. Or the scenes at the party full of life and people and colourful dresses wonderfully written. Or the bakery full of its cakes and customers with scents and sounds so vivid it’s as if you’re actually there.
The switch of perspectives worked well to display both sides of the story and was easy to follow with names in chapter titles. The only issue I would raise is that it felt like Milo was being melodramatic about Juni’s actions and was never fully explained why. Of this was resolved and the anger reduced, it would be more relatable. Overall, a great read and I would give it four stars.
