Thank you to the publisher for the eArc.

I truly don’t know how to put into words how much I’ve loved this whole series. B.K Borison has put so much love into these and this one is no different. I loved the relationship and dynamic between Charlie and Nova, as well as how clearly the love between the core friend group and family was written. It’s really bittersweet to have finished this series but I can’t wait to read her future works!

Back for another trip to Lovelight farms. I love it every time that we wo there!! This time we have Charlie and Nova, whose siblings' stories are in previous books. I loved Charlie and Nova's relationship. The incredibly subtle incline, while still giving us the spice that we need. i especially loved how Nova, and all their friends, helped Charlie to realize that he was important too and he didn't need to put himself on the back burner to help out his loved ones!

Thank you to Netgalley, Berkley, and the author for an advance copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Thank you so much to Berkley for my gifted e-copy!

I have loved everything BK Borison has written, and this book is no different! It’s an incredible ending to this series, which I’ve loved so much. Have your tissues ready!

Nova Porter is a spirited tattoo artist (and Beckett’s sister), and Charlie Milford is a polished investment banker with a goofy side. Nova’s new tattoo studio in Inglewild demands her full attention, but her attraction to Charlie is an undeniable distraction.

Their agreement for a one-night stand to get each other out of their systems backfires spectacularly, leaving us with scorching-hot sexual tension, witty banter, and beautifully vulnerable moments.
I absolutely loved these two. Charlie is more than just a hot guy in a suit, and Nova is a firecracker who’s full of depth. Their grumpy/sunshine dynamic is hilarious, and the dual POV is the perfect format to watch these two fall for each other. They seem like total opposites, but as we get to know their innermost thoughts and desires, we realize they’re more alike than they seem.

The small-town charm of Inglewild, along with cameos from my favorite couples, was comforting and familiar. The representation of ADHD (Charlie) and chronic migraines (Nova) is handled with sensitivity, making their characters even more relatable.

In The Weeds is still my favorite of the series, but this book is a very close second! This swoon-worthy romance blends sensuality, tenderness, and wit in a heartfelt, small-town setting. I’m sad to see this series end, but I can’t wait to see what Borison has in store for us next!

Since this is the final book in the Lovelight Farms series, I was so excited to see things wrap up. While this was a 3 star read and still enjoyable, I'd have to say that it is probably the weakest of the series.

I liked Nova and Charlie's story arcs as individuals, but their romance just didn't hit for me. I felt like Nova was creating problems for why they couldn't be together for no reason. And the story definitely focused much more on the physical aspect of their relationship with little time spent on the emotional side. Majority of the scenes we got of Nova and Charlie together were sexual, and we didn't see these domestic moments of bliss they had. Nova talked about them, but we didn't see them.

There wasn't much happening in this book. The conflict felt weak so the book felt weak.

I could not wait to return to Lovelight Farm and this book did not disappoint. This book is a part of a series, but can for sure be read as a standalone.

I've always accidentally found myself reading the lovelight farms series and I've enjoyed each one. It has all of my favs: small town, opposite attract, grumpy/sunshine ( shes the grump) and .he falls first.

I absolutely loved this book. Nova and Charlie were perfect for each other and I loved seeing them find their way towards each other. I feel like this book was one big giant hug ( with steam) .It was both familiar and new and I enjoyed every minute of reading it.

Im so sad the series is ending!!!
A solid 4 stars for me.

Thank you to netgalley for this arc. All opinions are my own.

I LOVED THIS BOOK. This was one of my most anticipated books of the year and it did not disappoint. Charlie and Nova were perfect together, their banter was impeccable, their chemistry was off the charts, and I just swooned each and every time they were on the page with each other. I will probably need to reread this again to have a more coherent review but this was an absolutely beautiful ending to the Lovelight Farm series.

Thank you to Berkley Romance for the arc - all opinions are my own!

Business Casual by B. K. Borison is a fascinating & chemistry filled, opposites attract small town romance between an investment banker & a tattoo artist/tattoo shop owner. This book felt like a hug & I think I say that with every book I read or B. K. Borison!

This is book #4 in the Lovelight Farm series, which can easily be read as a standalone. However, this series as a whole has been an utter delight & I recommend each & every book!

Business Casual is great for fans of…
💚 Small Town Romance
💚 Close Proximity
💚 Opposites Attract
💚 Chronic Illness & Mental Health Representation (Chronic Migraine & ADHD)

This series takes places in the epitome of a delightful small town & showcases the wondrous beauty of a small but strong community with it’s slightly overbearing & gossipy neighbors & the love & support they have for each other.

I loved having a main character with a unique job as a tattoo artist. & the fact it was really neat she was a woman owned business with her tattoo shop. The connection between this pair is undeniable & I adored their banter right from the start.

As a chronic migraineur with ADHD, I felt so seen. This is also only the third book I’ve ever read with chronic migraine representation & it’s done well!

If you are looking for a heartwarming small town romance, I highly recommend Business Casual & the entire Lovelight Farm series!

Massive thanks to NetGalkey & Berkley Publishing for the gifted copy, which I voluntarily read & reviewed.

I love this series so much. Absolute perfection.

Nova and Charlie's story is fun, emotional, steamy and romantic. It's everything you want from this genre. These are smart, complicated, relatable characters who live in the perfect setting of Inglewild. I'm so sad for this series to end but I know I'll reread MULTIPLE times. They're that good.

Absolutely loved this story.
I initially read it as a stand-alone, but it is the fourth in the series. I highly recommend reading the books in order as the characters are developed as you go. In the fourth novel, there are many side characters that require the details from their individual stories.
It's still a fabulous novel and kept me wanting more.

Prepare to be smitten!

BK Borison’s Lovelight Farms series is one of the swooniest and most quotable books I’ve ever read.

Business Casual brings the same signature quirkiness and relatability as the other books do. I instantly fell hard for the two main characters as the journey begins at a fun filled wedding. I was laughing, and felt so much peace and comfort being back in the small town with some of the most lovable characters in fiction.

Business casual is a great way to conclude this series and although I am sad that it is over, I am so thankful to have read all of the books.

Business Casual is available on 7/16. Thank you to Berkeley for my ARC.

Nova and Charlie might be opposites but boy do they have sparks! She's a tattoo artist, he's an investment banker. THey're circled one another off and on for years but now, after a wedding, they have what they think will be a one night stand. But of course it's not. This has all the trope-y (not a bad thing) vibes with a slight twist (she's the grumpy one). There's family, there's friends, there's an HEA. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. While this is the last of the series, it was more or less a standalone for me (I only read the first one) but it was fine that way. It was nice to be back at the tree farm and it's too bad there's won't be more.

Business Casual is sadly the last book in the Lovelight Farm series but also does well as a standalone book, if you so choose. It has become my favorite in the series! Charlie and Nova have the sweetest and sexiest relationship! I just love love love them. Don’t tell my mom but I think I want my body covered in tattoos so I can be as cool as Nova 😆 The banter and pining between them is perfection. If you love Stars Hollow, you will fall in love with Lovelight Farms and the phone tree, where the townspeople love getting into everyone’s business.

Thank you to Berkley and NetGalley for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

Do you ever reach the end of a series and hesitate to read the last book just because you don't want the story to end? That was me with Business Casual. I love the Lovelight farms series - every book has been cozy, lovely and swoony and I was very reluctant to reach the end of this series. Ultimately, I am very glad I moved past this and finally picked up my ARC of Business Casual - it might just be my new favorite! 
 
Charlie and Nova are definitely my new favorite couple of this series - their banter? So freaking good. Their chemistry? Insane. Can I see them growing old together on a porch 50 years after this book? Definitely. They both had their own internal hurdles to work through, but I think that made their story all the more enjoyable and rewarding. These two were just made for each other, and their story reminded me of a classic rom com movie in the best of ways.  
 
Charlie has been a character I haven't been able to get a great read on throughout the rest of this series and I loved how this book really explored that. His story was all about him finding himself and carving out his place in the world. It was emotional, sweet and a little too relatable at times - I really enjoyed his POV and how it explained why he was as boisterous and over the top as he was at times in the previous books. 
 
The thing I love most about this series is how interconnected it is - it was so nice to see all the couples from the previous books as often as we did in this book. Getting to see them happy and moving forward in their lives was like the bonus extended epilogues of my dreams. Not only were they present, they helped move this story forward - a real treat for a romance reader.  
 
If you're looking for a cozy, small town based romance series, look no further than the Lovelight Farms series! I have loved every story and it really ended on a high note! While I'm sad to be leaving these characters behind, I can't wait to do a reread and I'm looking forward to whatever BK Borison writes next!

CHARLIE AND NOVA GIRL GET ALL THE STARS. Business Casual is cute, romantic, funny, and hot, while simultaneously being super vulnerable.

Their delicious banter, full support of one another, and the seamless friend to lovers transition were highlights for me, and in true B.K. Borison fashion felt so realistic.

As if this wasn’t already going to be a five star read from me, when we got to this scene…

“I’ve never been anyone’s favorite,” he whispers.
“Well,” I say, feeling defensive. “You’re mine."

it was absolutely 1,000% locked in. This quote left me in a puddle of tears with an achy chest because I FELT THIS SO HARD.

This was an absolutely perfect conclusion to the Lovelight series and I was crying during the epilogue (I know you’re not surprised at my tears, shhh) because what a way to end this series!!!

Thank you B.K. Borison, Berkley and Netgalley for the ARC! I can’t wait for everyone to take one last trip back to Inglewild!

4.5 stars! Business Casual follows the relationship between Nova, a tattoo artist opening her own shop, and Charlie, an investment banker with an interest in the small town of Inglewood. Nova does not have time for a relationship but wants to ease some of her stress by a one-night stand with Charlie. The one night is not enough for either of them so they decide to just have a "business casual" sexual relationship with no strings attached since Charlie is just in town for the month.

The two end up spending more time than planned with each other and each develop feelings. He falls hard for her first and it takes her a while to admit her feelings. Charlie does the sweetest things for Nova even taking care of her when she's sick. I loved how they were with each other and the fun banter.

I was not expecting a found family trope but loved that for Charlie who never felt wanted by his own family. This was such a sweet and spicy book. I need to backtrack now and read the other BK Borison books about how the other characters got together.

Thank you to Berkley Publishing Group for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

♾️⭐️ | 3🌶️

This book completely blew me away and filled me with so many emotions. Nova and Charlie are IT, and I will protect them at all costs. The setting, the writing, the chemistry, the development, the relationship? TOP TIER. This is definitely going to be in my top ten books of the year.

Nova and Charlie have me completely obsessed. I felt so connected to both of their characters. Their banter and flirtyness with one another was completely captivating. I loved how different they were and yet were the perfect match, a standard for soulmates. I loved seeing them be patient, grow, and blossom with one another but also as individuals.

Nova really hit my soul as guarded and jaded but feels something missing, and Charlie wrapped around my heart as the one who seems completely put together and happy on the outside but is lonely and feels misunderstood. The character development and depth of their internal journeys were an instant hit to the heart. I proudly cried multiple times.

I not only fell in love with the characters, but I fell in love with the entire town and family too. I loved all the little gestures and the constant showing up for one another. There were so many moments that squeezed my heart. I don’t think I will ever forget how this book made me feel. Now Ill go fall in love with the rest of the series. Please add this to your TBR immediately!

Tropes:
- best friends sister
- black cat x golden retriever
- opposites attract
- ONS
- tattoos
- caretaking
- amazing banter
- found family
- small town


Thank you Berkley and Netgalley for an early copy in exchange for my honest thoughts.

Many thanks to @berkleyromance for gifted digital copy of the final book in this fantastic series. What a treat to have it conclude with such a delightful story that highlights Charlie and Nova and brings all of the past stories full circle. Below is my honest review.

Neither Nova Porter nor Charlie Milford are looking for love, a relationship, or any strings, but their electric chemistry has been building forever. They decide that giving in to their attraction for one night could “get it out of their system,” and they can move on as friends. But that night together had the opposite effect, and with Charlie only in town for a month, what’s the harm in indulging in a little no-strings-attached fun? Over their weeks together, they open up to each other as they never have with anyone else. They begin to trust and rely on each other and ultimately discover they like seeing themselves through the other’s eyes. To Charlie, Nova isn’t the youngest sister who must be coddled and protected. To Nova, Charlie is so much more than the life of the party. Alas, hundreds of miles and drastically different lifestyles are a chasm between them unless they are honest about what they want from life.

When I delved into the first Lovelight Farms book, I not only fell for Luka and Stella, but also for the charm of this town filled with quirky, endearing misfits. Nova, Beckett’s younger sister, and Charlie, Stella’s half-brother, were intriguing side characters that I always wanted to know more about. I’m thrilled that we got to witness their heartwarming story as the grand finale of this series. They truly came to life through BK’s exquisite writing. I was also delighted to see all the beloved characters and places getting their moment to shine or take a literary bow - including the iconic phone tree! If you enjoyed the first three books (and you definitely need to read them to fully appreciate this one), I believe you’ll find this conclusion to be absolutely perfect.

The whole Lovelight Farms family is back in all their quirky small-town glory. I have to admit I listened to the first three books in the series on audiobook format and it gave me mid vibes at best. Reading instead of listening to the fourth book was a game-changer. I enjoyed it so much more.

Charlie was swoon-worthy from the beginning. He unapologetically flirts with Nova and follows her vibes. He was such a gold retriever boyfriend and I loved it. I related to his issues with feeling like an outsider and needing to feel accepted into the small town and feeling needed. I also related hard to Nova's perfectionist tendencies and the pressure she put on herself to make her family proud. I would be remiss if I didn't mention how on-point the steam was! I struggled not to read this too fast because I didn't want the story to end. There was no third-act breakup but more of a real-life conflict that comes with long-distance relationships. The grand gestures and the wrap-up of this story were so rewarding. I left this book smiling and happy with the conclusion of the series.

Read if you like Opposites Attract, Grumpy/Sunshine, Friends With Benefits, Small Town Romance. Thanks to the publisher for the ARC in return for an honest review. This book releases 7/16!

I loved this! This is definitely my favorite in the entire series (even though it isn't the winter one!). Nova was so relatable and Charlie was the biggest cinnamon roll of the entire series. Their relationship was so sweet and wholesome and I appreciated that there was no extended miscommunication or stupid fights. Charlie and Nova both struggle with being honest and open about their feelings (eww, feelings) but they worked so hard on that with each other. The family and friend dynamics continue to be amazing and this final book solidified for me that I just want to exist in that town and with those people forever.

Honestly, this was the perfect way to end the series and I will definitely be picking up anything else that B.K. Borison writes.

This book was so so amazing!!! It was definitely one of my favorite reads from this year. This book had me so excited to turn the page to see what was going to happen next. The plot was amazing and the characters were so so lovable. Charlie and Nova's book was such an amazing way to conclude the Lovelight series and hopefully we can see them appearing again in any future books.
