Reading this series is so bittersweet because, as much as I love returning to Lovelight Farms and Inglewild, I’m so sad that this is the last book in the series. But let me just appreciate my special edition copies from Illumicrate to make myself feel better.

The story starts off strong with a beautiful wedding and cameos from our favorite characters in past books. That will always be my favorite part of the series—getting to fall in love with all the characters and seeing them maintain a presence throughout. It's very Gilmore Girls-esque.

Charlie and Noa were equally sweet, spicy, and all the while fun to watch as they fell deeper in love. The other three books are definitely my elite, top-tier favorites, but I loved watching them maintain their 'business casual' relationship before realizing their feelings.

B.K. Borison's writing is forever iconic, never matched, and so easy to fall in love with. The audiobook narrator did a fantastic job making us fall in love with everyone too.

In all, I just don’t want this series to end, but I’ll read everything B.K. Borison writes.

I thought this was very good and I will have to add this to the shop shelves. Thank you for the chance for us to review.

Not a fave. Both characters were so secure with who they were trying to be yet so insecure in their actual life. I felt like they were both coddling eachother so much and acting like their lives would fall apart if one of them would loosen their grasp on the other.

Lovelight farms have been one of my favourite series for the past few years and I feel like this book ended it perfectly I loved this one. I loved Nova and Charlie, I loved both of their characters in the past novels and they really got to shine in their own book. I loved their relationship and how they fitted together I just thought they worked so well. I thought nova was so sweet and I love her relationship with her brother and how she didn’t want to disappoint him. I loved how she worked to over come that. I also felt for Charlie and his struggles to pick a different life than what his father had laid out for him and go where he was happiest. I also loved getting to be back in this world with all the characters and it honestly felt like a nice hug and I’m sad the series is over! I listened to the audiobook for this one and the narrators were fabulous I thought they did a great job making Nova and Charlie come alive.

This is one of those wonderful romances that you just get sucked right into. You know it's "candy," but it's so good that you just can't stop. There really aren't any surprises, the formula is formula-ing, and the raunch level is just right. Each book in this series has just gotten better, and I'm sad that this is the end of the Lovelight Farms series. More, please!

This whole series is just a giant comfort read. Each one perfectly blends a funny, sweet, and swoony romance against a wonderful small town background.

What I loved most about this book? Charlie is DOWN BAD. I love my men obsessed with their woman and Charlie is the poster child for it. The way these two idiots (respectfully) thought they could keep it casual while everyone is so aware that they are meant to be was hilarious.

Overall an adorable ending to an adorable series.

Thank you to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing Group. I really loved this book, the first in the series, and I can't wait to read more. I loved Charlie and Nova and their story was so cute and easy to root for them. Excited to read more from B.K. Borison and this series

I loved this book! It was my first in the Lovelight Farms series, and I’m definitely excited to go back and read the others. Charlie and Nova’s story is both sweet and spicy, with just the right balance. There's something about Charlie that’s utterly lovable! The atmosphere and small-town charm added so much warmth to the story, making it an enjoyable and heartwarming read. Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC and provide feedback.

I absolutely loved this book! I have really enjoyed the whole Lovelight Farms series, but I think Charlie and Nova’s story is my favorite. There’s just something about sweet Charlie that made me love him so much! I loved the atmosphere and small town charm, and I related so much to Charlie’s struggles with ADHD. And the chemistry was so good!

The perfect end to the series!! I’ve loved Charlie since book 1, and I just loved him even more in this book. Protect Charlie at all costs!!!!! And Nova, my girl, she was perfect for him. I laughed, I cried, I swooned, I cried again knowing the series was over. What an absolutely delightful book.

a beautiful finish to a beautiful series 🩷 i have loved Lovelight since i first stepped into this world two years ago, and i recommend this series to all of my friends. it is such a heartwarming small town filled with the most amazing characters, and i find myself relating to every single one of them. having a strong support system is so important to me, and finding the joy in small things is exactly what Lovelight means to me. i’ll miss this little town 😭

Overall I really enjoyed this one! I know I'm reading out of order but this was my first book from the Love Light farms series, so I wasn't entirely sure what to expect going into it. I was pleasantly surprised! I really loved Charlie's character and his desire to belong to one place and find his place within a group of friends. I also really loved Nova and watching her open her tattoo business was super fun. I think what held me back from rating this higher was that I really only felt a physical connection between our characters and didn't feel fully emotionally invested in their relationship. But overall I really enjoyed this story!

A read that will leave you feeling warm and cozy and so happy for the entire book, Business Casual is the last (*sobs*) book in the Lovelight Farms series and follows Stella's (book 1 heroine) brother, Charlie, and Beckett's (book 2 hero) sister, Nova, as their flirting becomes a one-night-stand to ~business casual~ relationship to forever.

Charlie tries to light up every room, to bring happiness and a helping hand to all, and loves bringing that to Inglewild, the small town his half-sister lives and runs her Christmas tree farm. And that serial charmer act has not gone past Nova, banter partner and friend he knows he'd never be good enough for. But he also doesn't believe he's good enough for anyone or the town.

Nova is not immune to Charlie's charm and has to work for her scowls. As he helps her open her tattoo shop, which she is determined to succeed at to feel she deserves her family's love and support, she found herself softening to his flirting and propositions him suddenly at his sister's wedding. He makes her laugh, he's hot, and she feels wanted, but she isn't interested in a relationship or even more than one night. Neither is he, but the best laid plans...

Nova and Charlie may not intend to be more than one night for their own reasons, but as they plan the Harvest Festival since Charlie is staying in town to cover for his sister on her honeymoon, and he finds himself invited to her family dinner, they continue trying to be normal friends,but become closer than ever (in every sense). As they open up to each other, they work through their individual issues and work on what they want, including for their relationship.

I loved how respectful Charlie was. He ensured Nova took the lead and set her boundaries so he could respect them. There was insecurity as part of the reason, but he was a genuinely conscientious and empathetic individual who wanted others to feel safe.

I also loved Beckett and Nova. They were such a relatable family dynamic, wherein the unconditional love and support can make one feel they have to deserve it.

Everyone of Inglewild were sweethearts that made the story so enjoyable and the world so full. I hope Borison returns to Lovelight Farms (we still have Nova and Beckett's sisters...) because the setting is so delightful and a wonderful small town for romance (what about Alex, the romance novel reading bookstore owner? he screams for his own story).

Overall, I really enjoyed Borison's writing style and how the story felt like a couple trying to work through their romantic relationship through the whole book (instead of say, only together for one act).

Thank you to Netgalley and Berkley for an arc in exchange for an honest review!

I’m embarrassed to say that this was my first Lovelight Farms book… I immediately downloaded the audiobooks for the first three in the series from my library!! I definitely wish I would have read the others first, put I don’t feel as though you HAVE to read them in order. I was able to understand the setting and premise without having read the others.

Business Casual was so good!!! I laughed, I cried, I felt all of the feels. Nova is the perfect example of a strong, independent leading lady. She doesn’t need anyone, but that doesn’t mean she can’t want ;) Charlie is just a sweet little cinnamon roll of a man. Together their chemistry is off the charts.

I will do everything within my control to not make this about how this series transported me as a reader. But alas, this series really did/does it for me. I wanted to hold on to this last one as if it was my last visit, a trip you spend months/years fervently awaiting, tickets purchased.
I fell in love with these two main characters the same way I did with the books before: quickly and for different reasons. As always with these books, characters, settings, and their reactions, they always ring true to me and that is probably one of the main reasons I'll favorite a book/series. For that reason, this author is an auto-buy for me, and though my heart is broken for the ending of this lovely series, my bags are packed and I hungrily await the next escape.

*This book was given to me by NetGalley in return for an honest review*

I love reading interconnected stand alone books in different order (this is the first I’m reading, but fourth in the series). I found that I completely understood the book, but would most likely know more about the side characters had I gone in order. I’ll have to go back and catch up on their lives.

Nova and Beckett’s sibling relationship was so sweet. I loved the family aspect of this book, and hope the rest were like this too. Charlie was adorable, he was such a sweet golden retriever like character.

I did notice this was spicier than I expected based on the cover, which should possibly be a given. Overall, I highly enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read its predecessors.

The mc’s are Nova Porter, is a tattoo artist who is opening her new studio in her hometown of Inglewild, and Charlie Milford, a buttoned-up investment banker.
Despite their differences, Nova and Charlie’s end up together and the chemistry is undeniable, leading to a proposition for one steamy night together. However, their explosive connection complicates their lives in unexpected ways.
This story is both romantic and thought-provoking, you will find yourself rooting for the characters
This happened to be the forth book in this series but can be read as a standalone. I always like to read a series starting from the first book however I didn’t really know this was the four book and although I don’t know how much I missed. I feel like it didn’t matter thanks netgalley

All the stars for Charlie!!
Charlie is the perfect example of a fictional man written by a woman. I don’t know how to thank B.K. Borison enough. Nova and Charlie just bring out the best in each other. Hands down my favorite book in the series!

The Lovelight Farms series feels like you're inside a snowglobe, dreamy, romantic, and nostalgic. I am so sad to see this series over but what a way to end! Business Casual had me hooked from the beginning. There was something so captivating about both of these characters. Charlie was someone I had been rooting for from the beginning so I loved seeing him get his happy ending. I related to his desire to be everything to everyone, while also desperately needed to be cared for. Also being in love with Beckett, I loved getting to know Stella, his beloved sister, more. Stella and Charlie together had such CHEMISTRY. I was blushing! True soulmates!

What a perfect end to a perfect series!
