First of all, thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Random House for an Advanced Reader Copy for an honest review.

If you have seen my reviews for the other Lovelight Farms books, you would know how much I actually did not love them. HOWEVER, this book was the book I have been waiting for her to write. It was so cute 😍

Business Casual did what all the other books in the series didn't and it was really refreshing and I just loved how full of depth this story was. I fell in love with both Charlie and Nova and I really enjoyed their development both individually and together.

Highly recommend if you’re a fan of small town, friends with benefits and loosely brothers “best” friend. If you enjoyed Lovelight Farms, I think you’ll really enjoy this one! I know I did

4.5 ⭐️ | 📚 | 🌶️🌶️

Going back to Inglewild one last time was a dream! B.K. Borison has a way of transporting you, and I loved every second of it! Nova and Charlie had my whole heart!

What an ending to the series🥹this book was just so sweet!!! I was giggling and kicking my feet while reading while also getting my heartstrings tugged on!

Charlie!!! The kindest, caring, loving, down BAD man! I love him sm! Nova girl🫶🏾she was everything and more I loved getting to know her and her story after mentions of her throughout the series. She was such a relatable character. Charlie and Nova are both perfectly imperfect but made for each other! They both saw each other for who they are and it just warmed my heart!!! Of course I loved being back in Inglewild with all the couples altogether again! This book was the perfect ending to the lovelight series and I enjoyed every second of it!!!

NovaCharlie was everything I needed and more. Two people not looking for love, fiercely independent but also needing something that's just for them as they pour themselves into their work, their family and their smalltown.

Nova is trying to prove herself to her town, her fmaily, and more importantly herself by opening up her business. Struggling to let anyone see her vulnerable, and in walks Charlie, chaotic and all he wants to do is take care of her. These two had increidble banter as they both fumbled through figuring things out. I loved the intgegtration of the small town antics as these two snuck around.

Charlie had me screaming as he lived every breath to just make Nova feel so cared for with every single thing he did big or small. Struggling to let someone take care of himself I adored how they both just stood up for the other in a way no one ever had before, how they became best friends at the same time leaning on the other because they loved each other so much.

That ending had a frog in my throat, it was a perfect way to say goodbye to this small town, because like Charlie Lovelight has taken us all in and we don't want to let it go. I'm already ready to reread this series again.

Oh. My. Gosh! Business Casual by B.K. Borison is seriously like the ultimate heartwarming story in a Lovelight series that had me hooked from start to finish! Five stars? More like a million stars! This book totally rocked my world!

Let's start with Nova and Charlie because, oh my stars, these two are the definition of relationship goals! Nova's got this whole "no time for love" thing going on, but then Charlie swoops in with his three-piece suits and irresistible charm, and suddenly, she's questioning everything.

Nova herself? She's funny, smart, and has a heart of gold. I felt every ounce of pressure she was under to succeed, and her journey throughout the book? It hit me right in the feels. And Charlie? He's not just a handsome face; he's a total sweetheart with a side of swoon-worthy charm. I mean, come on, who wouldn't want a Charlie in their life?

But let's talk about their relationship because, holy cow, it's like watching a slow-burning fire ignite into an inferno of passion! The banter? The tension? I was practically squealing with delight every time they were on the page together. And when they finally gave in to their feelings? Let's just say I needed a moment to collect myself because the sparks were flying!

And don't even get me started on the Lovelight crew! They're like the ultimate squad goals—supportive, hilarious, and always there for each other no matter what. I laughed, I cried, and I may have even hugged my book a time or two because the feels were just that intense!

As I reached the end of the final chapter, I was legit feeling all the feels—totally pumped up and kinda bummed at the same time. Saying peace out to this series was like saying goodbye to a crew of my besties. Business Casual is hands down a must-read if you're all about that opposites-attract vibe, digging small-town romance, or living for those found family vibes. It's basically like a warm hug for your heart that you won't forget anytime soon. Major props to B.K. Borison for dropping this masterpiece that's gonna stick with me for a long time!

“The thing about love. "It's just yours, "Yours to have and yours to keep. You don't have to earn anything. You belong here. I want you to know that you don't have to be anything other than
exactly who you are. I know you've been hiding,
Charlie. But I see all of your colors. The bright ones
and the dark ones too. I see how you're always tilting
towards the sun. Forget-me-nots were always my
favorite, and —well. You're kind of my favorite too."

This was such a good read and my favorite in the series. Charlie and Nova were so so cute and swoon-worthy. I love how tender and steamy the main characters were especially when dealing with the feelings that came with life and their no strings attached casual hookups. Charlie and Nova were such great characters with so much depth and layers to each other. I loved the aspect of Charlie's loneliness and the front he had put up for others. Their chemistry was also amazing and the found family aspect was sweet. This is opposites attract done so well and overall this book was a great comfort and steamy read.

Thanks so much to @berkleyromance for the free eARC! #BerkleyPartner #Berkley

That’s a wrap on the Lovelight Series… and I swear every book in this series is better than the last.
I’ve enjoyed all of these sweet books. I thought that Mixed Signals would end up being my favorite until I read Business Casual.
This has been one of the best romances I’ve read all year. The chemistry between these two characters, Charlie and Nova, was truly unreal.
Both of these characters had so much depth, that it felt personal. The story manages to share their emotions and fears, yet also provides top-tier banter.
For me, I was giggling and smiling from the first chapter. Then by the last thirty percent of the book, I was teary-eyed.
I love this book and I think I’m in love with Charlie. He’s definitely the ideal man. He’s charming, he’s funny, and he’s an acts of service king.
Nova is the best. She’s a bit misunderstood and she’s fiercely independent. Together, the two of them, although opposites in many ways, make the perfect pair.
BK Borison is officially an auto-buy author of mine. I’ve now read this entire series, and I can’t wait to see what she creates next.
If you haven’t read this series yet, you need to! There are four books total, with this one coming out on July 16th. Trust me you won’t regret it!

Wow, what a cute one! This book was so wholesome and made my heart so happy. Very thankful that I gave it a chance :)
(Unfortunately this title is not eligible for an Amazon review).

this is a taylor swift song in book form. i loved everything about charlie and nova 😭

every lovelight farm book i read while moving onto the next i think “surely i cant like this one even more than the last” and i am so happy i get proven wrong every single time

my himbo king charlie, the phone tree, bad ass grumpy tattoo shop owner nova SO MUCH GOODNESS IN ONE BOOK

i already cant wait to reread these books during the holidays

Although this title was not my favorite, I can see how others would really like it. The FMC was just a little too sunshiny for me.

I have read B.K. Borison's books before, and they've always been cute romance reads. But this book takes the cake. Literally, I was feeling so giddy and happy from the start, and I kept on going! It was such grumpy sunshine with bits of opposite attracts romance!

Charlie and Nova may not make sense, but their chemistry just makes sense. You can tell that there is something between them, even if it was physical at first. You know what they say about forced proximity, i.e., seeing more of each other brings them closer, which does for Charlie and Nova.

This was a fun read, but I felt like it lacked the depth of the others in this series. Beckett and Layla already felt so familiar in their respective stories from getting know to know them in Lovelight Farms, but Charlie and Nova were only very brief side characters in these. I felt much less invested in their relationship, and I think I would have liked this more if more time was spent on their friendship prior to their little chat at the wedding (at the very beginning of the story).
Still a cute read and a nice way to wrap up this small town and the other characters we all love.

It is such a sad day knowing that the lovelight farms series is over, but it was such a sweet goodbye with charlie and nova. b.k. borison puts some type of drug that makes me want to move to a middle of nowhere town where we all get involved in everyone's business. i am very much a nova out of any of the female main characters in this series, so it was both very humbling and very fun to read her love story. it's a bittersweet moment to say goodbye to this series but i'm happy it ended on this note as well <3

Absolutely crying because this series is over? Is this it? 😭

Forever one of the coziest vibes, this book doesn’t falter to provide that as the rest of the series. We soon fall in love with Charlie, an absolute goofball with the sweetest heart. Nova never thought she’d ever want someone and yet, they both are so perfect for each other. I loved seeing them grow with each other. I do wish we would have seen Charlie finally do what he wanted after the final chapter before the epilogue. I just adore him so much and wanted to see him finally get that happiness.

We also get to see our favorite couples from the previous 3 books and what they’ve been up to. The phone tree also continues. 😂

I hope there’s another epilogue somewhere where we see them 10 years down the road and fully see everything come full circle.

Thank you so much Berkley Publishing Group, NetGalley and B.K. Borison for the ARC!

Charlie is just the best person ever. I love what he does for his half-sister Stella and his new brother in law Luka at the beginning. I love that it keeps him in Ingewild for a month. He takes such good care of the day and even makes plans for expansion even if just for his own satisfaction.

Nova is getting ready to open up her tattoo shop but she feels it needs to be perfect, especially for her brother Beckett (her first, most enthusiastic cheerleader, and tattoo getter). I felt bad with how bad of migraines she can get but love the care Charlie shows her when he catches her going through one.

I absolutely love the way these two flirt and then get together on the sly (haha not in this town.... If you're this series reader..you know.. you know what I mean). I adore the trust they have in each other. It was so fun to see them both grow a bit separately and together. I'm sad that this is the last installment in this series but a note at the end shows us fans not to lose total hope!

I picked up Lovelight Farms during Christmas a couple of years ago to get into a festive spirit. Little did I know, I would fall in love with this little series.

Every book has been so cute and easy to read, and Business Casual was no different.

There were so many times that I giggle out loud. Nova & Charlie’s banter was 🤌🏻

I think Charlie may be my favorite guy out of this series. He was easy to love, witty and had a heart of gold.

All together, this was such an easy and fun read! I would definitely recommend this series and this book!

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I was anticipating this book because I have loved this whole series! Charlie and Nova were the perfect characters to wrap up this cute little town! As always, I love glimpsing into the previous book characters lives and seeing how everything ties together! Round of applause, I loved it!

The perfect duo to end one of the best book series I’ve read in an extremely long time. If I could pack a bag right now and move to Lovelight Farms I would. Every single character in this series has been magical
4 stars

THANK YOU BERKLEY SO MUCH FOR THIS ARC!!!! this book has been on my most anticipated reads for nearly two years and I am so thankful to have been given a chance to advance read and review this lovely story :)

I have been in love with Lovelight Farms since it first published, and more specifically with Charlie Milford. BUSINESS CASUAL delivered in every possible way for what I wanted for Charlie and his oh so deserving happily ever after. as a golden retriever hero with a desperate yearning to be part of a big, loving family in Inglewild, Charlie finding his happy with Nova was the most special thing to read. Nova, in finding her stability, confidence, and grace within herself, also is able to find a true happiness with Charlie not just as fun roll in the sheets but as a dear friend, confidant, and lover. their story is full of honesty, goofiness, vulnerability, grace, freakiness, and so much love in so many forms.

I loved seeing Charlie find his rightful home in Inglewild; the way the town accepts him as one of their own before he even realizes it; the way he learns he does not need to earn a place at their table, he has one set for him always. seeing him find his happy and forever with Nova and in their perfect little town had me in tears and smiles all throughout this story. Nova fulfilling her dreams, finally making herself at home in her home balances Charlie so well.

and the lovely family & friend dynamics between Nova and Beckett, the whole Porter family, and the rest of the Lovelight band of misfits make this story so amazing! seeing where all my fav couples have gone since their own stories was so special, I cried so much just seeing where Stella and Luka, Beck and Evie, and Layla and Caleb ended up; it made it the most bittersweet, tearfully lovely end to this series.

I can't believe this series is actually over, but I find my happiness and comfort in knowing I'll have a reason to go home to Lovelight Farms every season forever and ever :)

Business Casual was definitely my favorite of the Lovelight Farms series. I loved everything about Charlie and Nova. Their insecurities were so heart wrenching and sad. I loved how B.K. Borison depicted how family issues/traumas directly and inherently change the way you view yourself and how you think others view you. Also how you feel like you have to live up to certain metrics to be loved even if your family doesn't realize that is how you feel. This book put a beautiful bow around the series.
