I truly want nothing but the best for both of these characters. It can be hard to portray such obvious chemistry in writing, particularly in a pretty short book, but Devney Perry achieved it. In stark contrast to Indigo Ridge, in which we got very few scenes of emotional connections and bonding between Winn and Griffin at the start, Juniper Hill saw Memphis and Knox opening themselves up to each other completely and it was just gorgeous to read and made it so much easier to believe how quickly they fell in love. A joy.

I hated everyone's names lmao
This was fine and average.
Contemporary with grump chef and (kind of) boring FMC. Like I loved her as a mum but idk how that linked up with desrvied herself as being, pre becoming a mum.
I didn't like how Knox was keen to get her pregnant asap after she had a traumatic emergency caeserean and PPH not 5-6 months ago. I kept thinking - no dude she needs more time to heal! Also did they have caesereans for all of their kids (peep the free epilogue). All I can think about was the accreta risk ๐ญ I need answers! I usually love breeding kink and stories with kids etc. but I was dragged out of the story by my work brain lmao.
Contains:
A good third act drama ngl
3 spicy scenes
Cooking!
Single mum with a newborn - very cute scenes with Knox helping her!

Memphis and Drake had brought life to my home. Laughter and noise that I hadnโt even realised Iโd wanted.
โIโm not a charity case, Knox.โ
โI cook for you because itโs how I show someone I care. I cook for you because I love the look on your face after that first bite. I cook for you because Iโd rather cook for you than anyone else.โ
โYou areโฆyou are a dream,โ he breathed. โI gave up on those.โ
โMe too.โ
Sheโd given me her best days. Iโd give her mine.
