4.5 stars! Rounding up to five because I think this pairing is ~~brilliant~~

"What about now? Do you feel like you need Charlie?
"I want him. I don't need him, but I want him all of the time."

I have to say that this is my favorite book in the Lovelight series. It is by far the most different. When I think of the first three books in the series, I think cozy, sugary sweet, good vibes. And while Business Casual does have those elements, it is also super funny, sexy, equal parts lived in and idealistic, and in my opinion has a much deeper and fully realized love story.

I am a sucker for an independent girlie who is actually a secret softie and wants to be taken care of from time to time and Charlie was her PERFECT foil. Like I think the reason why I'm rating this so highly is because the pairing of Charlie boy and Nova girl is pretty top-tier. They balance and highlight each other so well. They also had insane physical chemistry and I can easily say this is Bec's spiciest book yet.

And their relationship had so many moments of feeling super realistic. How they flirted is how I expect real-life people to flirt and it was fun to have that grounding here. And yes there is some major wish fulfillment/romance too!

It's not a perfect five stars from me because sometimes I do feel like Bec's takes that wish fulfillment too far (particularly with her men), but it's a slap this book is gonna demolish once it goes live!!

Missing them and already want a physical copy.
