This was such a good book and a great end to the series. It’s rare for me to find a character that I reminds be of myself but Charlie spoke right to my soul. I can’t recommend this book and the series enough.

I really enjoy this series. The touching family, the wonderful love stories, the intriguing challenges. Nova and Charlie. Sigh. I enjoyed them both in previous books but really liked them in this story.

Charlie, the joker, the jolly family member. Or is he? I could have read Charlie's story alone it was so interesting. Watching him progress as a human was good. Nova was so determined and a little too self-contained. Watching her change was rewarding too. Watching them fight, then not fight, their attraction was nice too. We got to see most of their families including many of the characters from previous books. In all their quirkiness.

I enjoyed the story, the progression, the characters, the entire town! What a good read. I recommend it.

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the ARC.

Thank you Netgalley for the advanced reading copy! This is the final installment in the Lovelight Farm series from B.K. Borison and whew, it delivers. I loved this book - I loved the main characters and I think this was the perfect blend of funny, sweet, cozy, steamy, and romantic. Borison is great at building relationships between different people that absolutely compliment each other and make each other better. I love a grumpy sunshine trope, and this book to me does it perfectly. And lastly, the lack of a third act break up works great here - sometimes I think it makes books feel anticlimactic, but this book did it very well and I won’t say why because of spoilers. Overall I highly recommend this book to fans of Lovelight Fams (I really recommend the whole series), Borison, small town, grumpy sunshine romances.

This book healed me. I loved it so very much. This was the perfect close to the series. We get lots of glimpse at where all the previous couples are at in their lives. As far as this couple, Charlie is the biggest sweetheart and Nova was an absolute delight. Together they had such chemistry!

Beckett will continue to be my favorite of all the characters, but this book has made it into my top read of the series!

I love the couples in this series. I love the town of Inglewild. I love the heart put into these books. And I love the friends I’ve made through reading them. I’m sad it’s all over now, but I know I can return to them anytime through rereads.

I rarely DNF a netgalley review book but I'm at the point where I'm just not enjoying the story (at 34%). That said, I loved the beginning chapter - made me laugh at points and want to know more about this big family. What I didn't enjoy: the detailed steamy scenes. I don't need those and honestly, made for lots of eye rolling. I know there's an audience for this (and I'm sure they'll love this book) but I didn't. I wish Borison all the best in her writing career. Thanks to the publisher and NG for the opportunity to read it.

The chemistry and banter between Nova and Charlie was out of this world. Loved going back to Lovelight farms, seeing old characters and falling in love one more time. Great end to a great series.

Is it almost 2:30am? Yes. Did I just finish? Yes.

Am I trying really hard not to wake up my husband because of my cries? Also yes.

What a glorious trip back to Inglewild, we don't deserve this level of magic and love but I'm so glad we have it.

B.K. has such a way with making you as if you're the one coming home to this little town she's created. Charlie and Nova were so beautifully created and my heart broke (many times) for Charlie's sense of loneliness.

I'm glad you found your home Charlie. And thank you to Berkley for this opportunity.

I have loved the small town romances of Lovelight Farms! I have really been loving a black cat and golden retriever trope lately and this one was perfect! Charlie is the ultimate sunshine and Nova is definitely more of the grump! There are appearances from all the favorites! I loved the message of Charlie not needing to “tone himself down” or be who everyone else needed him to be….but Nova just loves him for all of who he is! And that just warmed my heart!

I started ducking out when Charlie said Nova smells like jasmine, paper, and ink. She … smells like …. Paper? Is that a compliment? This one lost me though when Charlie (inner monologue) said he wants to spend lazy mornings with Nova under the sheets with the kettle on and wearing nothing but socks. Socks??? Really? Pass for me, sorry.

Lovely and seasonal. I have greatly enjoyed the previous installments of this series and am happy to say that this new book lived up to the hype!

Business Casual is absolutely charming!

It is filled with fantastic characters & a cozy small town setting. Inglewild is a place that I wish were real haha.

Charlie and Nova are definitely opposites. She's the black cat to his golden retriever but they just work. They find a home and a place of belonging in each other which I found incredibly sweet and romantic. The development of their relationship from no strings to falling in love was done perfectly. It was a slow build up to their romance and I loved every moment of it. This book will definitely have you in your feels!

I was not expecting this to be as steamy as it was! I was pleasantly surprised. I mean we have hand necklaces, sexy selfies and biting?!? Hold my fan! I found the intimate scenes were sexy and tasteful. The chemistry Nova and Charlie had was undeniable.

Absolutely adored this book!

I need you to know from my HEART, with the upmost sincerity, how much I adored this book🥹😩😭🫶🥰 and how truly devastated I am that this is the last of the Lovelight series!!! ❤️‍🩹

✨Charlie + Nova
✨CHARLIE!!!!🧎‍♀️🥵🙂‍↕️ my sweet sweet man!!
✨one night stand > friends with benefits “business casual” > lovers
✨the FLIRTING! the BANTER!!💯 top freaken tier! I was blushing!!
✨found family 🫶 the way the precious couples were so beautifully included! the phone tree! family dinners!
✨migraine rep! and he takes care of her even when she refuses to ask for help🥹
✨spicyy🌶️
✨he’s learning he’s worthy of love, she’s learning she doesn’t have to loser her independence in relationships!!

Y’all clearly I loved it!! I tried to force myself to savor it + make it last until I accidentally binged the second half in one sitting! I couldn’t help myself!🖤 I can’t wait to revisit this series over + over again!

I treated myself to a little @authorbkborison early and I’m so pleased that I did. It’s not normally my style to read a last book in a series immediately because that means once I finish, it’s over? Couldn’t be me.

But I’ve been enamored with Lovelight Farms - four books of found family on a Christmas tree farm, are you kidding me? What a gift. If Stella and Luka brought us lovesick cowards in agony, Charlie and Nova bring us hornily intrigued antagonists, which is my very favorite trope (some might call it a veeery mild “enemies to lovers”). Charlie is Stella’s golden retriever half-brother, and Nova is Beckett’s grumpy, tattooed youngest sister.

Charlie does something financial in NYC, Nova moved back to Inglewild to open the town’s first and only tattoo shop. She’s the featured artist, obvs. They’re both thrown into each other’s path again at Stella and Luka’s wedding. Sparks fly on the dance floor of all places, and Nova propositions Charlie. 🔥

Charlie, a major flirt, did not see this coming and sort of rejects Nova but sort of doesn’t by telling her if she really wants him for a “business casual” hookup, she really needs to ask again. Reader, she asks again. 🔥

There are some Big Lessons learned amidst all of the hooking up that they truly and misguidedly believe is clandestine (this man launches out the upstairs window to avoid Beckett), it’s very fun and good and my heart grew 800 sizes bigger because of these two flawed but beautiful people, etc.

Charlie has ADHD (love him, duh) and his dad is a total waste of breathable air. He doesn’t feel wanted anywhere, and over the course of this story, he finds his own self worth. ADHD really makes you struggle with the concept of being desired, and having room in somebody’s heart the way people are in yours.

Nova, so afraid of failure and disappointing others, learns how to ask for help, how to be a part of something that isn’t her own little island. And also she has a sternum tattoo 🌹so of course I find her 🥵.

It’s bittersweet to say goodbye to the 🎄 with the rescued 🐈🐈‍⬛ and decadent 🥐. Put it on your TBR anyway.

4.25 ⭑ “it’s nothing special and everything wonderful at exactly the same time.”

this series just feels so realistic and depicts love stories in such an authentic, relatable way. the simplicity of these couples and the love, fun, and happiness found through what could be seen as the mundanities of life is so beautiful.

charlie and nova are such a real couple. their love is so normal!!!! I LOVE THAT. unless the subgenre requires it, I’m not too big of a fan of some unrealistic romance plot lines. I want a couple that feels real, that feels obtainable, that feels like a couple I could see in the grocery store and tell my husband how cute they are. I want authenticity and genuine connection, and these two are that!!

i’ve put off writing this review bc i’m just not ready to accept that my last trip to Inglewild is over😭

this series is so special to me and will always be a go-to comfort read. Bec’s writing has always felt like a warm hug or comforting poem, and Business Casual is no different.

the relationships that we get to see with the rest of the Lovelight couples brought tears of joy to my eyes (Beckett is still the loml in case anyone was wondering). and getting to dive deeper into the sibling relationships between Nova and Beckett and Charlie and Stella?! just when you think you can’t love these characters more, they have a heart-to-heart with their sibling, and to put it as eloquently as I possibly can: GAH!!!!

but let’s get on to the main event. Nova and Charlie. NOVA AND CHARLIE.
Charlie. the bumbling little sweetheart that man IS. giving me heart palpitations the entire book!!! OBSESSED is putting it mildly🧎🏼‍♀️
and independent Nova trying to prove so much. to herself, to her family, to the world. she puts so much pressure on herself and, even though i got frustrated w her at times, it was an honor to watch her self discovery and realize it’s not a weakness to ask for help. especially if that help is coming from a sexy spreadsheet guru.

i would also like it officially on record that I would do anything (ANYTHING!!!) to get my hands on charlie milford’s photo diary.

the last thing i’ll say, since this review has become rambling, is that fans of the series are not ready for the epilogue. it had me straight WEEPING in its perfection.
thank you endlessly to B.K. Borison for not only writing this series, but for giving us readers a soft place to land when we’re in need of comfort. and to Berkley for gifting me an arc in exchange for my honest review. (i’m having this moment engraved on my tombstone.)

read if you like:
+ small town romance (and phone trees and festivals)
+ seduction by marshmallow
+ “we’ll do it once to get it out of our system”
+ “once wasn’t enough”😏
+ top tier sibling relationships
+ forced proximity via town committee
+ BANTER
+ black cat x golden retriever
+ a man who will color code your spreadsheets

Thanks to Berkley for an eARC. All opinions are my own.


Perfection. Absolute perfection from BK Borison with the fourth and final instalment of the Lovelight Farms series.
Charlie and Nova are, individually, delightful characters but then together, with their chemistry? It's off the charts. I love the banter BK has written for them, the silly situations they find themselves in, the way they believe in one another, the way they love one another and their families and friends.

I feel like we not only get a wonderful story of a couple, but we also get a satisfying conclusion to the series by being able to catch up with each of the previous couples to see how they are doing in life. Thankfully, all are happy!

Charlie was one of my fave characters in the first book and to see him now as the MMC in his own story is great as we get more insight into who he is, why he loves Inglewild so much, and the depth of character he has. He's so loyal to Stella and his friends and he thrives in the small community.

Nova is also great. She didn't feature as much as Charlie did in previous books, so getting to know her better was wonderful. She's a great balance to Charlie. She's so determined an stubborn and creative.

I think fans of the series will be delighted with this book and while I would love to see more books from BK set in Inglewild, I'll also be satisfied if we don't return to this community.

Wow! I’m completely obsessed Charlie, Nova, and this whole entire book. I loved the friends to potential lovers trope & the CHEMISTRY between the two lovers. The temptation, flirtation, and banter between the two was perfect. I’m so happy I got the opportunity to read this as an early release. An easy five star read!!!!

Thank you NetGalley, B.K. Borison, and Berkley for my physical and digital ARC!

I haven’t read any books from the love light series and I didn’t know this was part of the series when I requested it. This is also my first book by the author and I’m not sure how I feel about it. I felt it was a bit slow and I found myself not wanting to pick it up. Maybe I would have felt differently if I would have read the entire series and knew the backstory of certain characters

By far my favorite B.K. Borison book! What a way to end the series. Charlie and Nova are addictive to read! When he called her Nova girl I fell deep.

This book is a great addition to the series. I loved this story that I raced through - a perfect weekend read. If you are looking for a story that makes you smile, then this is it.
