4.5 stars!!

It was so nice to be back at Lovelight Farms! I’d been anxiously waiting to read this book and it did not disappoint! I loved Charlie and Nova so much! They just fit so perfectly together. I love a black cat x golden retriever dynamic. I also just loved how they really saw each other for who they are, beyond what any other person had been able to. I loved their banter and how they progressed from friends to lovers). They also had great communication which was so refreshing to read.

I also adored seeing all of the couples from the previous Lovelight Farms book in this and it honestly just felt like a warm hug/coming home. I’m so excited for everyone to read this when it comes out !!

Thank you Berkley and Netgalley for the e-arc! <3

First, thank you for letting me read this advance copy. I have not read the previous books in this series but chose it due to reviews of the others.
I did feel a bit left out for not knowing the relationships of other characters, but was not a big problem. Will go back and read the other books. Descriptiveness of characters thoughts and actions was very well done. But, had hard time visualizing them physically., as in faces. I did enjoy the relationship build of of the main characters and their come to realization as to what love is.

Oh my gosh. Loved this one. So far Lovelight Farms has been my favorite in this series (although they are all fabulous!), but this one might be my favorite so far. Sad to see the series come to an end, but Charlie and Nova were so cute together!

Slipping back into the world of Lovelight Farms is like coming home, putting on a cozy sweater while wrapping up in a blanket with your favorite cup of tea. B. K. Borison really knows how to make compatible characters that make you smile because they just GET each other. On the outside, Charlie and Nova couldn't be more different, but their needs complement each other and make theirs a true love story. I really enjoyed how Charlie finally understood his worth and embraced becoming an official member of Inglewild.

Spicy. Sweet. Clever. The characters were lovable and relatable, the story was great, and I didn’t want it to end! Lovelight Farms is a delightful series!

This is a great conclusion to B. K. Borison's series, though I think it would probably work quite well as a standalone/first entry into the series as well. It's wonderful, as ever, to revisit characters from the first three books and to finally get to focus on Nova.

The absolute chokehold this book has on me!! I knew going in that this book was going to be everything, having already met Charlie and Nova in the previous books, I was already halfway in love with them.

Business Casual is without a doubt B.K. Borison's sexiest book yet! Charlie and Nova's chemistry is sizzling and I'm still daydreaming about how truly delicious the spice is. Their playful banter and flirty texts are equally great. I love how Charlie flirts like it's his day job! He is the very definition of a golden retriever man, though he has some hidden depths to him. I adore Nova! She is a bit closed off, and keeping people at arms length.. enter Charlie. I love a good "just once to get it out of our systems" trope. These two idiots are so obviously into each other and quickly realize that once is never going to be enough.

I devoured every single word and highlighted entire pages on my kindle! What a perfect way to say goodbye to Lovelight and these characters I love so much. We got small glimpses of all the couples, and it makes my heart so happy!

Thank you to the author, Berkley, and NetGalley for my early review copy; all opinions are my own!

Charlie and Nova's story was everything I'd hoped for and so much more. Scorching-hot sexual tension, divine banter, beautifully vulnerable emotions, this was crammed with everything I love about Becs' writing. Atmospheric and just the right amount angsty, sensual, tender, witty, Becs' storytelling threw its arms around the endearing, nosey small town's shenanigans, gave us pitch-perfect presence from previous couples in the series, and truly let Charlie and Nova breathe as characters; they felt lived in and lovable and imperfect and painfully, gorgeously real. I could go on for paragraphs more, but I'll leave it at this: this is Becs' best writing yet, a perfect conclusion to the Lovelight series, and I cannot wait for her many fans to fall in love with Charlie and Nova, too.

It feels so amazing to be back to this world! Charlie and Nova were so opposite but yet so perfect for each other. This was one of my most anticipate reads for this year and it did not disappoint.
This book really hit me (in a good way), I related to both characters so much. I'm really going to miss this world and these characters. Full review will be posted on goodreads (when I can talk about this book without tearing up)

This book was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!! My it’s now my new favourite in the series. Charlie was vulnerable, kind and extremely relatable. Nova was the grumpy in this relationship but I LOVED this take on it because it felt authentic. I loved every single thing about this book and I’m so appreciative of my ARC.

10/5⭐️

This was a cute finale to the lovelight series! I love'd getting to see our old favorites and see how they are doing and get to see this love story. This whole series is like a warm. Perfect cozy romance.

I just can't get enough of this little town! Each book is more charming than the last. I loved how these characters grew together and never felt the need to do a dramatic breakup just to realize it was a mistake. If B.K. wants to keep writing these I will happily keep reading!

Sweet and steamy romcom PERFECTION!

This is literally everything I could ever want from a romcom. It’s the perfect balance of funny, quick witted banter and ooey gooey sweetness and the steam was STEAMING. Inglewood is the Stars Hollow of book towns and I would give my left tit for it to be real so I can live there. I absolutely MUST get on the phone tree.

Charlie and Nova’s story was divine intervention for my cold dead heart and I ate up every second of it!

Please take me to Inglewood...ASAP. This is my favorite of the series by far (of course it's great to have a 3 book history/backstory on all the characters to make it that much more enjoyable)....BUT Charlie and Nova are so damn HOT. They pretty much jump into things feet first so we get all the sweaty, hot, destroyingly good scenes sooner rather than later, like those other couples who **pine** for each other and fight their attraction. Don't worry, there is still pining but there is more SUPPORTING to go along with all the ahem...action...and once again the phone tree is busy at work behind these scenes. Unfortunately, these two are excluded from the chatter (since they are unknowingly the main attraction). No one is trying to tear them apart nor are they trying to push them together, so I consider this an all-time great read - low angst, great chemistry, happy ending.
Thanks for the ARC!

5 stars, 9.43 on CAWPILE

Thank you to netgalley and Berkley for an e-arc in exchange for an honest review!

"For snacks?"

I love the lovelight series, that is no secret. I adore all of these characters and these books. I want to live on lovelight farms. This was already established.

This. Book.
This book was everything. I never knew I could love two characters so much. The amount of time I teared up, the amount of times I actually laughed out loud (that is HARD to do in a book for me, trust me).
I wanted to wrap Charlie and Nova up in one of those blanket burritos that Nova likes and just hold them close to my heart forever.

i loved this. Charlie and Nova's stories, their hopes, their fears and insecurities, are such a mirror to my own. And they made me feel like maybe I could do it too.

I devoured this book! One of my favorite small town romances!

Charlie and Nova have the perfect dynamics in the book. Strong female and the definition of boy obssessed with a girl for a long time))) Nova is comfortable being alone, she has her tattoo shop and doesn't need any complications. Charlie wants more than anything to have connections with people in Inglewild town. He is a sunshine outside, however he has some struggles regarding self-worth. Charlie and Nova decide to start so called "business casual" thing aaaaaaand we all know what can happen in such situations))

I really enjoyed Charlie and Nova's story, they are definitely my favourite couple from the series! So many sweet and tearful scenes (the scene with Charlie's tattoo made me melt into a puddle).

A beautifully written story with cozy vibes!

If I could give books a million stars this one would get them without question. I adored Business Casual so stinking much!

I adored being back in this goofy, loving, overly involved small town. And Charlie and Nova deserve the whole world. I loved watching them fall in love...especially because neither of them had a clue it was happening. Their banter was just top tier. Also, the chemistry was on another level. Absolute fire.

But besides all that delicious stuff there was a beautiful tenderness to this story. Beneath Charlie's happy-go-lucky exterior and Nova's hard shell there was such vulnerability for both of them. I loved how these two only wanted the best for each other and went out of their way to let them know they could be themselves. I want Charlie and Nova protected at all costs forever and ever.

BK Borison truly created something special with this series; I fell in love with every character, including the town itself. What a gift it is to be sad to say goodbye to them.

Thank you to NetGalley and Berkley for the ARC.

**3.5 stars**
So, I tried to read the first book in the series and did not finish because I couldn't connect to the characters. I wanted to give this author another chance and everyone has been raving about this book. I will say I finished this one and I did enjoy it. I didn't love it as much as other people but it was still good. I believe all the Lovelight Farms couples appear in here. I was a little confused by their dynamic but was able to get by without reading the other books in the series. So, I think it can still be read as a standalone, you just might not appreciate it as much as others who've read the whole series.

I liked the characters. Nova was certainly a unique character. Charlie was her pure opposite but he was wonderful in his own ways. The whole set up of the friends with benefits was a little clunky but it worked. I did like these two together a lot more than apart. I think Charlie softened Nova, and Nova gave Charlie some of the strength he needed to change his life. The storyline was entertaining enough to keep my interest throughout.

While I enjoyed this book as a standalone, I feel like those that have read the entire series will cherish this book a lot more.
