I’m giving this book 4.5 stars, but I’m rounding up to 5 for 2 reasons: 1. Charlie. This man. 🫠
And 2. Because of all the Beckett we got.

Reviewing the final book in a beloved series is always so bittersweet. I adore the Lovelight series. I adore Inglewild, the townspeople, the farm, the bakery. Mostly, I adore these characters that have been living rent-free in my heart ever since I read my first book in the series.

I loved watching Charlie and Nova go from lovers in denial to lovers out loud. I loved their relationship. It was tender and vulnerable, but also super hot. 🔥Equally, I loved seeing Charlie be wholly and truly part of Inglewild, especially as a core member of the Lovelight Farms crew.

Business Casual was the best “good bye for now” I could have asked for. It was funny, emotional, and totally swoon-worthy. What a wonderful end to a fantastic series.

Thank you so much for the ARC, Berkley!

Every time I read a Lovelight novel I am filled with inspiration that love is real and everything works out. Its just such a beautiful cozy series. I LOVED Nova and Charlie, they're my new "it" couple and I want to devour more and more of them.
This is reverse grumpy sunshine and friends with benefits that was steamy and funny and completely addicting.
Please read this book !

I really really really really really enjoyed this book, could you tell from my "creative" use of the word really? I think the patrons at my library will absolutely devour this book as well. I highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone who is looking for a great read!

this book was perfect, i love charlie and nova so bad. always good to be back in inglwyld. bk never fails to give us amazing books.

I know this was book 4 of this series of standalones, but this was actually my first B.K. Borison book! And I really enjoyed it!
I have been trying to read more contemporary books to warm my cold heart, and this one definitely brought some happiness and warmth into it.
Charlie is such a good mmc, he kind of absorbed all of the good male tropes into one character and exuded them with so much perfectness I loved him. I felt that Nova was a really relatable fmc too, and I saw a lot of myself in her! I'm definitely not like...a grumpy person irl but I definitely relate a lot to grumpy x sunshine when the fmc is the grumpy one. Charlie is so obsessed with Nova and will literally do anything for her and I want that for all of us <33333
I will definitely be going back and reading more of B.K. Borison's books after this!

There is nothing I love more than going back to my favorite place the Lovelight Farms Universe.

I absolutely devoured this book so quickly. I was hooked from the very beginning. Can we talk about the TENSION and BANTER between Charlie and Nova?! I was on my knees for them. They had me kicking my feet and blushing the entire time I was reading.

This book had to be my favorite book of the series, and I am so sad to see it end. The dynamic between the characters made the reading so much more enjoyable. We saw how the characters developed and grew on their own and with each other. I saw myself in them in so many ways. Makes me want to cry and huge them.

THE ENDING!! This series will forever be my comfort series.

4.5⭐️ I can’t believe this series is over with 😭 honestly such a great way to tie it all together! I had MAJOR bi panic with Nova and Charlie, because once you read this, you’ll understand.

Charlie is such a mirrorball and this is me trying girlie and I related a little too much to his character. And then you have Nova who’s trying to convince herself that she’s better off being alone (is this f*cking play about us???)

I loved how easy going the friendship and connection was between Nova and Charlie, the banter was full on bantering! Both characters were vulnerable and learned how to overcome their insecurities and find the place they really belonged and realized that they both deserved a happy ending. And the ‘just this once, to get it out of our systems’ tension was phenomenal and I eat that up every single time.

Plus all the cameos made me so happy and I want to reread it immediately. Thank you NetGalley and Berkley Publishing for sending me an e-arc in exchange for my honest review!

Some tropes:
-older brothers best friend
-friends with benefits (aka business casual)
-no third act breakup
-small town who loves their phone tree
-grumpy / sunshine
-fmc is COVERED in tattoos 🥵
-opposites attract

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading every book in B.K. Borison’s Lovelight series! When I downloaded Business Casual on my Kindle, I was both excited and nervous because I knew it would be the final installment in this fantastic series. However, I'm happy to say that not only is it amazing, but it's also possibly my favorite book of the series!

Right from the start, I loved the witty exchanges between Nova and Charlie. Their back-and-forth conversations made me laugh out loud on several occasions throughout the novel. As expected from B.K. Borison, the storyline kept me hooked from start to finish. This 5-star book perfectly wraps up the 5-star series! I cannot wait to see what B.K. Borison has in store for us next!

This was one of my most anticipated reads of 2024 and it exceeded my expectations. I can't recommend it (and the whole series) enough!

A wonderful ending to the Lovelight Farm series. This will have you laughing, swooning, and feeling emotional. Charlie and Nova are such a fun and adorable couple. Their banter and chemistry didn't sizzle out when they got together, which I was grateful for. I loved seeing how they fit into the lives of the characters from the previous books and seeing more of the Lovelight found family. I'm sad it's come to an end, but I already plan on re-reading this series every year.

Big thanks to Netgalley and Berkley for the ARC!

First, I want to say thank you so much to NetGalley, Berkley, and B.K. for allowing me to receive an ARC of this book. I have never been more excited to get an advanced copy of something - this series means so much to me and going back to the world of Lovelight Farms is such an honor!

I immediately fell in love with this book and wish more than anything that the Lovelight series would just continue forever because I can never get enough of Becs' writing and the characters she gives life to.

Business Casual has our main stars Charlie and Nova in quite the situation of "let's just do it once to get it out of our systems" to "uh oh, I need to keep doing this with you, it's not out of my system"

The spice and romance scenes between Nova and Charlie were *chefs kiss* I could not get enough of them together. I loved their banter and dynamic and I'm such a sucker for a sunshine, golden retriever, loyal hero in the story. I also loved how they were totally opposites attract in terms of looks and that had me giggling and kicking my feet sooo much. I loved seeing glimpses of all the past characters of Lovelight as well, it really felt like it brought everything full circle (I still don't want this series to end)

Best part about this book in my opinion? NO third act breakup thank the LORD.

When this releases, please go and buy it immediately. You just HAVE to read Nova and Charlie's story. I loved this so much (if you can't tell) and I obviously pre ordered and signed copy to add with all my other Lovelight books <3

Business Casual has easily become one of my favorite reads. I devoured it from start to finish. The banter between Charlie and Nova was amazing. I can’t explain enough how much I enjoyed it. Throughout the series we got glimpses of Charlie randomly popping up and people wondering why he was always in town when he lived in NY and to finally know why he always stuck around was heartbreaking. Business casual gave us friends to lovers, small town romance, grumpy x sunshine, he takes care of her when she is sick and more.


Thank you NetGalley and Berkley for the ARC.

"Business Casual", last one but not least!
I've read all the books in the Lovelight saga, and this, the very last one, I had the chance to read in advance.
Thank you to Netgalley and Berkley Publishing for giving me the opportunity to preview this book, in exchange for my honest opinion.
We are back to our beloved Inglewild again, this time we enter in the lives of Nora and Charlie. Unfortunately it's the last book of the saga, so better get your tissues ready.
Inglewild remains the cozy town, where everyone knows each other, everyone helps each other and it'is beautiful at any time of the year, from summer to late winter. Here we re-know Charlie, an outsider, Stella's brother, city workaholic, complete with suit and his good boy attitude.
Then there's Nova, a little grumpy, the little one of the house, the last of four siblings, who does everything to assert herself and have her independence. She has her own tattoo studio.
Sparks fly at Stella and Luka's wedding, after a dance together, there's no turning back now. When Stella and Luka leave for their well-deserved honeymoon, Charlie steps up to help with our beloved Lovelight Farms.
Nova, too stubborn to admit her attraction, tries to resist him, but Charlie manages to insinuate himself into her thoughts.
I would say that it is a worthy conclusion to this fantastic saga, what better way to say goodbye to our beloved protagonists than with a classic trope of sunshine x grumpy, where grumpy is herself. My favorite kind of tropes!

I am so glad that I discovered Lovelight Farms and the town of Inglewild, and I hope that Borison changes her mind and writes more stories about other characters in the small town. Borison's characters grow and change over the four books, but remain true to themselves, even when the focus has moved on to another couple. My only complaint about this last installment is that Nova and Charlie's story is a bit too similar to Luka and Stella's story, but, again, it's Borison's characterizations that make this story a success. Even if Nova and Charlie's path is similar to Luka and Stella's, they are very different characters, and that makes all the difference. Borison has given us another warm and fuzzy (and steamy) love story. You probably won't want to have to leave Inglewild either.

FTC Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher in exchange for this review.

Are you ready to grin from ear to ear, start to finish? The Lovelight Farms crew is back for their swan song, and Nova and Charlie are my favorite couple yet. They’re snarky, sweet, and sigh-inducing, with that extra magic B.K. Borison weaves into her novels that make readers devour these books in one sitting.

Charlie: so skilled at distracting from the fact he’s lonely. With those forget-me-knot eyes and wit for days, how could we ever forget him? Selfless to a fault and finally on a committee in town, can we please bump him to the top of the phone tree?

Nova: so scared to fail she can’t see that she’s already succeeding. She is an artist with so much love to give. Nova, girl, the flowers you weave are stories on skin, and we are all here to watch the ink bloom.

BUSINESS CASUAL begins with a wedding and ends with a bang. It’s a place to return to over and over again for cozy, found-family vibes in a small town.

Charlie boy and Nova girl find family in each other and so much more. The Lovelight series has earned a place on my shelf—but BUSINESS CASUAL? This is eternal nightstand-worthy.

This was such a lovely final installment in the Lovelight Farms series!! I truly adored every one of these in their own unique way. This book was a long time coming, and seeing the way Charlie and Nova balanced each other out was beautiful. I thought that the pacing of this was good, and there was no third-act breakup/miscommunication (thank god). My only issue is that it was too long for me, a lot of the middle could have been condensed. Other than that it was great!!

4.5 rounded up!

🌈Queer rep: mention of a MM couple, off-page

WOW BK Borison has done it again!! This was an absolutely tremendous conclusion to the lovelight farms series, I am so sad to see them all go!

Business Casual is definitely my new favorite in the series, and one of my new favorite romances ever! This did not disappoint, the tension, and banter is top tier. Charlie and Nova, give black cat x golden retriever in the best ways. Both of these characters have so much heart and Borison does an amazing job of building out these emotional well rounded characters that just have so much heart.

I cannot even gather my thoughts to express how much I adored this book, I genuinely did not want it to end I was dragging it out trying to make it last but also couldn’t put it down!!

AND CHARLIE THE MAN THAT YOU ARE!!! I am happy to announce Charlie has been promoted to my top tier MMC list, he is fun and silly but also LOYAL and so obsessed with Nova which is HOT. I cannot speak enough about how much I adored him and how much I wanted to give him a hug. Being inside his head was such a character study and I’m just saying IF HE WANTED TO HE WOULD!! And Charlie does!!!

The dynamic between Nova and Charlie was just so FUN! You can physically feel how fun they are together and how much they are into it, there is no mistaking their chemistry. I was however SOBBING at the end of the book I love them both SO MUCH!

I will be happy to be forcing this book upon everyone, and wish I could re-read it forever!

Thank you Berkley for the advanced copy!

Y'all are not prepared for how good this book is. I was nervous to pick it up at first because I loved the first book and didn't think it could measure up -- but it did! This book follows Nova and Charlie as they move their relationship from "business" casual to something more serious. It's so sweet and so fun. We have:

Excellent banter ✅
Spicy scenes ✅
Heartwarming family ✅
Small town shenanigans ✅
Personal growth ✅
No third-act break-up ✅

Pick this up if you're looking for a sweet romance with loveable characters and a fun small-town vibe.

4⭐️ thank you so much Berkeley Romance & NetGalley for the ARC!
Overall I’ve really enjoyed this series, and this was no exception! It did start off a little slow for me, but after that I was pretty immersed and so happy to be back in Inglewild. This series has some of the best small town vibes, and I love the little details of the characters and town that makes you feel like you know everyone intimately.
Charlie and Nova were great MCs, and I especially loved Charlie! Their story and relationship development was done really well and was so sweet-and no third act breakup!

I love when the characters don’t want or don’t think they can be in a relationship and then find their person🥹 it was done so well here!

Thank you Berkeley for the chance to read early💚

Bk Borison does it again by taking us back to the magic and charm of Inglewood with Nova and Charlie’s love story. This book was incredibly sweet and steamy! I absolutely loved the flirting and banter between the main characters as well as all the cameos from our fave Lovelight couples.

This series is so special to me. I read Lovelight Farms when it FIRSR came out, with the OG cover and I haven’t been the same since. I have loved every single book, every couple, every characters that Becs has written. I cannot believe this is the end. And quite honestly I can’t wait to just reread the whole series.

This one though. This one was perfect. Charlie and Nova are two sweet softies who find each other when they need it the most. They are so fun and flirty and playful and sexy. They were both SO vulnerable and sacred and didn’t feel like they were enough. But finding each other, finally being able to open up with someone, finally feeling safe and comfortable, changed the game for both of them and it was BEAUTIFUL.

The family and found family in Inglewild is so strong. Seeing Charlie gravitate toward the town because of Stella but staying because it’s home, but not feeling like he should belong?? But seeing how much he does belong, and how much people love him??

Nova and Beckett?? Watching her face her fears, and telling him how much he means to her, how much she doesn’t want to fail him… and watching him so the same exact thing?? The fact that she is his favorite sister and everyone knows it? And Charlie and Stella?? The way he wanted nothing more than to give her everything? The way he talked so highly of her?! The way she loved him so deeply?? The way they came from the same crappy father and were able still be these beautiful sunshine people?? It’s tough competition to figure out who is my favored sibling pair.

The last chapter was perfect. The epilogue was perfect. I cannot believe this is the end of an era. But it’s been a perfect trip.

Thank you so much to Berkley for this ARC exchange for an honest review!
