Proper Impulse (Jaded Lily Book 4) by Zeia Jameson is a five star novel. I have read all three books in this series and I have loved them all. I cannot wait to read more from this author! The first novels really got you in the mood for more. I had no idea where this one might lead and as soon as I started reading, I was shocked and pleasantly surprised. This novel really brought the family back together and helped everyone know that family is what life is all about.

This is book 4 in “The Jaded Lily” series and can absolutely be read as a standalone. PROPER IMPULSE stars Milo as a cop and Juniper as someone who cares more about others than she cares about her self.

This book was a quick and easy read and had lots of “life changing” ideas. Characters are dimensional and the story has a great ebb and flow. I absolutely recommend this book, this series and this author.

Proper Ink is the second bookin the Jaded Lily series by Zeia Jameson. This book can be read as a stand alone, but I recommend you read the series in order. The first book, Proper Irish is also an outstanding read. This story suck me inonthe very first page and I couldn’t put it down until I reach the last. I love the emotions this book bring, laughing one minute and crying the next. Luca and Kerry are both lovable, but have been hurt and are mainly closed off to their emotions. It was impressive to see them explore their relationship. I would highly recommend this book, series and author. I’m looking forward to reading the next bookin the series.

Ooohhh I do love a good enemies to lovers romance and Proper Impulse was a brilliant example of that! I loved the story from the very beginning and I absolutely LOVED Milo! There was just something about him, he had this sexy, serious side to him – he was very professional in his job role and I think that kind of carried over into his personal life too! Juniper on the other hand was the opposite to him, very free spirited but with a wonderful stubborn streak! She is more than happy to break the rules if she feels it’s needed! I knew that as soon as these two met there would be an attraction but I also knew sparks would fly!
I have read other books by this author previously and I just love her writing style, so easy to read, the flow and pace is always perfect and do love the character she creates. I cannot wait to read more from Ms Jameson again in the future!

What is it about opposites attract that ALWAYS makes me smile and read as fast as I can? From start to finish, I was hooked. This book and series have been just a wonderful addition to my library. I am so glad I’ve found this author and series. Excellent writing. Well developed and relatable characters. Hands down, if you love a classic push and pull that is only found when the couple at the center of the story is night and day… pick this up ASAP!

But after the 2nd and 3rd time they know they are in trouble. Will Luca give up his “no feelings” rule and will Kerry give up her “no complications” rule? Read Proper Ink to find out!

Whoop! Whoop! I LOVED this story! I really enjoyed these two spitfire characters. Each trying desperately to hold onto their beliefs. They are like oil and water. These well written characters make a huge splash! Then add in the wonderful story that surrounds them and this is a recipe for success.

Milo is so uptight and such a rule follower and Juniper is so open hearted that when they clash it’s an explosion. I love the nickname she calls him. But once the nice Milo comes out things change a bit. The look they give each other is so intense…I can feel that! Then Milo goes and opens his mouth and Boom!…there goes the moment. Hahaha! He is forever inserting Foot in mouth around Juniper.

This author does another amazing job with these characters. Even though this is a Novella I don’t feel anything is missing from this wonderful story. Each character had growth and the story rounded out nicely. This is a funny, OMGosh and “He DIDN’T just do/say that!” type of story with a hidden gem underneath.

I recently read the first book in this series, Proper Irish, and I fell in love with all of the characters. So much so that I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this novel. Luca, sweet sweet Luca, in the first book I really took a liking to him although he wasn’t mentioned too many times in there. My heart broke for him when I heard his story. I felt his pain and apprehension towards Kerry. However, I also felt their attraction and I was rooting for their relationship to catch on fire. This book was packed full of steamy scenes, feelings, and character development. It was written very well and from a male’s point of view, which I enjoyed. This book was a page turner and was a quick and easy read.

Proper Impulse is the third book in the Jaded Lily series by Zeia Jameson. I really loved the first two book in the series, so I couldn’t wait to read this too. I really enjoyed this book; the characters were interesting and well developed- and the story was sweet and engaging.
I loved meeting Milo and Juniper, they are such great characters who took me on a very sweet, romantic, and touching story that had just enough drama and angst to keep things interesting.
Milo is a police officer who takes his job and upholding the law very seriously. Juniper is a quirky free-spirited non-conformist who wears her heart on her sleeve and isn’t averse to bending the rules if it’s for the right cause. So, what happens when these two meet for the first time. Some might say they’re off to an awkward start, but opposites really do attract, don’t they?
The story has a great pace and a smooth flow. The story is told from duel POV’s, which gives us a really great perspective of what’s happening. I also loved catching up with characters from previous books.
Even though this book could be read as a standalone, I recommend reading the other two books first, because I think knowing what happens in the first two books will enhance your reading experience of this book.
Can’t wait to see what Ms. Jameson does next.

Thank you, Ms. Jameson!

This is a lovely story about how love can leave a person damaged and also heal a person.

Luca thought he had it all until the woman he loves breaks up with him and tells him she’s pregnant with another man’s child. Luca goes into a downward spiral until a meeting with an irish man called Padraig changes his life.

Fast forward 3 years and things are good for Luca again except for having that special person to love. But Luca is unsure if he can fall in love again until Kerry walks into his life. Is she the one to heal the old wounds and help him love again.

I really enjoyed this book and the story of the characters lives. Its a heartwarming story.

Proper Ink was a great 5 star read and book two in the Jaded Lily series.
We bounce past to present so that we get the back story on Luca and what has caused him such heartbreak.

You can’t see people when your heart is closed for business

He had so many plans, until one day his heart was shattered. We jump ahead three years and
Luca is a tattoo artist, he has gone in a different direction than he had originally planned to with his career and he has shut his heart off to women. When he meets Kerry there is something about her that draws him in.

Kerry works as an event planner and she is having a hard time with her boss. Fate steps in and these two seem to be showing up at the same places. They start to connect as friends and things start to grow between them. There is a little setback when Luca sees the woman from his past, he realizes he’s not quite ready to move on yet or is he?

Can Kerry and Luca have a HEA? Will he finally let someone else into his heart?

Overall I really enjoyed this book. Both Kerry and Luca pulled me in, they are great characters with their own strengths. Kerry had me LOL at times. Luca is a super sweet hottie. We do get some steamy scenes from them as well. I really liked the ending, it made my heart smile. I can’t wait to read more from this author and series. 1-click and get started today.

Proper Impulse by Zeia Jameson is the fourth book in the Jaded Lily series. This book can be read as a stand-alone although there are crossover characters.
Milo and Juni are the perfect example of opposites attract. I don’t think I have read about two characters more different from each other and yet so right for each other. Every time they were together there was obvious chemistry.
The story was interesting as well. It was easy to get into and kept my interest right of the end. It fit in with the rest of the series great. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, as I have done so far with the series as a whole and I hope there is more to come.

The story Proper Impulse (Jaded Lily Book 4) by Zeia Jameson is a contemporary romance book. It grabbed my attention from the very beginning and didn’t let go until I had read the final page. I loved reading about the characters of Milo Cipriani and Juniper Jensen. Milo is a police officer who does everything by the book. He doesn’t see any reason for blurred lines. Then he meets Juniper. Juniper is a woman who is strong, kind, compassionate, and independent. She helps those in need even if what she is doing is not exactly legal. Then she meets Milo. There is an attraction between them. They can’t stop thinking about each other. What does the future hold for Juniper and Milo? Will they take a chance with each other? Read this book to find out. The story is romantic and emotional. I found my emotions going up and down with the characters. I grew to care about Milo and Juniper with each chapter that I read. You can’t help but want them to be happy. There are additional characters introduced and I enjoyed reading about their interactions with Milo and Juniper. Don’t miss out on a wonderful story with amazing characters. I highly recommend reading this book.

There are few characters who snag my heart quite like Luca. What a heart throb he his. While this book can be read as a standalone, I am a big supporter of reading a series in book order, in the way the author wrote the stories for you to get the most out of the books/series.

Luca is a character we see from the first book, Proper Irish, and I was so excited to see his story. Luca is a typical artist, a tattoo artist. He is all about his art, the purity of his art and the way Jameson describes the art to the reader brings them to life. I can practically see the art and imagine the fine lines and details. He is also a broken man. He is recovering from having his heart smashed and he hides behind a sordid expression.

Kerry is a beautiful soul. From the outside, she seems to have lived a charmed life and anyone of us would be jealous of, but she has a huge chip on her shoulder from her gilded life.

These two clash in an explosion of passion, attitude, and emotions. This book is a perfect extension to Proper Irish and is a beautiful insight into the lives of Luca and Kerry. I loved getting to know them and watching their relationship built and crest.

Jameson is a fantastic author. She builds and weaves a story and bridges both character and reader. She creates a masterpiece that draws you in a keeps you. You don’t even realize you are holding your breath. Highly Recommended!

Oh, Officer Cipriani how you need Jupiter Jensen in your life.

Proper Impulse by Zeia Jameson was a great addition to the Jaded Lily series. Milo Cipriani is a follow the rules to the letter type of officer and boy did he need someone to pull the stick out. Along came Jupiter Jenson a woman who wanted to save people by bending the rules. Who said opposites didn’t attract; Milo and Jupiter just proved them wrong.

This hilarious enemies to lovers book will have you turning the page and not wanting this book to end. It was great to see past characters in this book and give us a little update. Loved this series and highly recommend; I’m hoping for more!

This is the fourth book in this series, I enjoyed it just as much as the first three. My favorite part of this book was the characters, Milo and Juniper. The are well developed characters that are like fire and ice, opposites. They made me laugh a few times as they seem to get themselves into some type of conflict everywhere they went. But they are sweet and I enjoyed their chemistry together. Their story is romance and learning to work through their differences. I highly recommend their story.

Milo Cipriani is as straight laced as they come. Being a police officer doesn’t afford room for anything but upholding the law to the fullest extent. There are no blurred lines between right and wrong. Milo always does what’s right.

Juniper Jensen has a passion for helping those who can’t necessarily help themselves. Sometimes in a way that isn’t exactly legal. There is no harm in it as long as it’s for a good cause. Humanity is above the law. Juniper fights for that humanity.

Proper Ink (Jaded Lily Book 2) by Zeia Jameson was a sweet romantic read. I loved both Luca and Kerry in this novel. They were both interesting characters introduced in the first novel but I loved learning more about them I this book. I feel this book could be read as a standalone but there are pieces from the first book that filter into this novel. Luca had excellent character development a d I loved how organized Jameson was when traveling back to his past with appropriate chapter headings. It helped me stay on track. Kerry was definitely a sweet heart and I loved how she and Luca seemed to slowly warm to each other. The storyline was very descriptive and fun. I loved the various scenery and descriptive settings. It was easy to visualize and place myself in the novel. This was such a wonderful book and I enjoyed it. I highly recommend it and the series!

Proper Ink (Jaded Lily Book 2) by Zeia Jameson is a five star novel. I absolutely loved the first novel in this series, Proper Irish. I was so happy I had already bought book 2 so that I could slide right into the next one. I also cannot wait to read the third one! We started getting to know Luca and Kerry but only very little in the background. I love when authors introduce characters in one book and then follow up with them in the next book. Luca was a lost soul after his relationship went bad. Too much drinking led him down a road where sleeping on his brother’s couch was his best idea. When he meets Padraig, all that changes and he suddenly has purpose again in his life.

Proper Ink is the second book in the Jaded Lily Series from Zeia Jameson. I struggled with book one, mostly because I couldn’t connect at all with the MC’s so I was truly looking forward to getting more with a new focus being the center of the novel. I am so stinking happy that I decided to stick to it and read this book. I personally adored Luca. He has to be on my top ten list of book-boyfriends that I have read this year. I am absolutely in love with this book. I will say that it struggled a tad for me with some of the finishing/flow, and it could have stepped up the steam factor with the couple. It was there as far as potential, it just fell a tad short. This book does follow up or basically take place right after the first book, but I do think you could read these out of order or just choose this one if you so desired. I personally love having the whole series read. Overall this was a solid four-star read with a swoony lead to boot. I will be back for more with book three as soon as it is available!!

Proper Ink (Jaded Lily Book 2) by Zeia Jameson was a pretty enjoyable read that had me hooked, and flipping the pages.

Not my first read from this author or in this series, so I new going in that it was going be something fun and entertaining. I wasn’t let down, and I very much enjoyed this book.

I liked the MC’s, both had strong qualities and personalities, that you know, got in the way of them progressing. But in truth that made this romance all the more realistic. I actually related hard to Luca, I tend to fight my feelings hard as well. I understood him, got why he was standoffish, and why it took him a bit to gather himself to make a move. Yes, it’s frustrating, but like I said, it made the story all the more real, as it reflects how real people deal with emotions and hurt. Kerry, I found was that good match, and fit well with him. I got more frustrated in the way she handled work, I get it, sometimes you can’t take a stand, but then again, I felt like she could have use her voice more.

Overall this book was well written, detailed, and it had a sweet, feels invoking romance that was anything but normal. This book is worth your time and energy, and it gets my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

Happy Reading

Proper Ink is the second book in the Jaded Lily series by Zeia Jameson. This can be a stand alone story but reading the first book will enhance the story that much more. Zeia Jameson has a flowing descriptive story telling ability. This keeps the story interesting, and would keep the pages to turn to the next part of the story. Lucas is a tattoo artist that has been unlucky with the ladies. He was not looking for any lady or relationship for that matter. Lucas met Kerry while she was looking for a tattoo. There was something about her that peaked his interest. He wanted to stay away from her, but the universe had another idea. Kerry was a strong lady who for Lucas interesting because he was pushing back. Will Lucas allow Kerry to be in his life? Or will Lucas keep his focus on his art?

It has been awhile since I read the 1st in this series, which I loved by the way and it says a lot about an author in my opinion when I pick another book up down the road after reading a trillion in between and the whole first comes back to me immediately..The characters from the first book weave through this one and we met the mains of this one in the first book. I’m not normally a fan of books running alongside each other in some parts but in this one it definitely worked.

What can I say about Luca? I fell head over heels for him and my heart completely shattered for him, I loved getting to know him as he fascinated me in the first book. I love his friendship with Padraig and his connection with Kerry was off the charts hot and completely awesome. This is probably the 2nd or 3rd book I’ve read where the whole story is told from the lead male’s perspective and I loved it!!

This author transported me into this story and I could see everything described, Luca was an artist and I swear I could see and feel all that he did. It was awesome!

You could probably read this as a standalone but I am so glad I didn’t and I can not wait for the next story in this series.

Amazingly Awesome!!

Proper Ink is the 2nd book in the awesome Jaded Lily series by Zeia Jameson. Most of the storyline runs concurrently with the first book in the series, Proper Irish. I had devoured the first book in one sitting and this one was a repeat performance. We had met both of the main characters in Proper Irish and I was really looking forward to reading Luca and Kerry’s story.
Luca Cipriani is a wonderful character. Having been seriously heartbroken in the past, he doesn’t let anyone in to his little bubble. His life revolves around the tattoo shop that he owns, Jaded Lily. I loved that we are given so much of Luca’s history, from his heartbreak and to how he came to be friends with Padraig (hero of Proper Irish) and then become a tattoo artist.
Kerry Frazier is a sweetheart. Best friend and working partner of Stella from the first book. She’s intrigued by Luca and wants to help him move on. I loved that this book is told from Luca’s point of view as it really allows the reader to understand the pain and struggle he has gone through.
This series has grabbed me so far and I can’t wait to read more of it. Highly recommended.

A great read about culture. Stella is a party planner trying to organise a St Patrick’s Day Ball. She tries her best to arrange it despite the customers picky pacularities. But on meeting her stepson in the garden, Stella is infused with new ideas that go against everything her boss and customer wants. But at the end of the day is honour better than coin?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns that I just couldn’t put down. Well developed characters like Stella standing up for herself but kind underneath or Padraig tough on the outside but caring on the inside. Great cast of supporting characters like the sweet and motherly Moira or the fun friend Kerry. A great antagonist in Rachel, perfectly done and not too much.
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel like the sense of the town with cobbled streets and small shops and everyone knowing each other. Or the garden with its green grass and the sunlight and pretty magnolia flowers. Or the scenes with the fountain with its relaxing water for a sense of calm wonderfully written. Or the scenes in moiras House with the use of the senses with taste and smell so strong its as if you’re actually there loved the sense of the novel starting straight in with the action, captivating the reader from the start. I also loved the use of Irish culture, with its food and traditions given the respext and love they deserve. Over a, a great read and I would give it five stars
