I know there’s a lot of bookworms here who love this series, so I’ll try my best to explain why I think B.K Borison saved the best for last.

While Lovelight is often seen as a standalone series, Business Casual sprinkles in delightful nods to the first four books that fans will adore. Charlie, though not an Inglewild resident, has been a familiar face throughout the series. As Stella’s half-brother, he’s a regular at Lovelight Farms and seems to pop up at every celebration. Watching Charlie take a break from city life to enjoy more time in his favorite small town, especially while looking after Lovelight during Stella and Luka’s honeymoon, is utterly charming. 🌟

With Nora being Beckett’s younger sister and Charlie an honorary member of Caleb’s family, we get even more glimpses of our beloved former couples. It’s like catching up with old friends, making the series' conclusion even sweeter. 💕

🎧 And if you’re listening to the audiobook, our favorite narrator is back yet again with a new hero. Pippa Jayne and Benjamin D. Walker’s voices truly bring Inglewild to life, wrapping you up better than Nora’s favorite burrito blanket technique.

Featuring excellent ADHD and chronic illness representation, quirky town phone tree antics, and the steamiest scenes yet, Lovelight fans will want to start the series all over again after this book. 🔥

Business Casual is out now at your favorite bookstore! If you’re new to the series, start with the first book – trust me, it’s totally worth it! 📚✨

I can't believe this is the last book in the series. Lovelight Farms is the perfect small town series, and Business Casual was the perfect ending. The whole thing was *chef's kiss*. Highly recommend. No notes.

I am so incredibly glad I decided to listen to this audiobook. It came at a perfect time when I really needed the support and understanding it provided. The male character is not only incredibly supportive but also deeply caring, which made the story even more enjoyable.

Even though I skipped the first two books in the series, I felt an immediate connection with the characters and loved getting to know the family. The story beautifully captures the dynamics of the family, making it easy to immerse myself in their world.

I especially appreciated the authentic representation of ADHD. It was handled with such care, adding depth and relatability to the narrative. This book has truly been a wonderful experience, and I can't recommend it enough!

i can’t believe i have to say goodbye to the lovelight series. this small town gives all the gilmore girls vibes and it truly feels like such a quirky & quaint place filled with the BEST people!!

i really enjoyed this one. i listened to the audio and although the fmc’s narrator isn’t my favorite it was still such a beautiful story. i feel like nova and charlie understand each other in a way that no one else does. i loved getting to see them transition from flirty friends, to a secret hook-up, to developing real feelings and actually acting on them.

this book is truly about finding your happy place/person and never letting them go. charlie was incredibly adorable and so in love the entire time while nova had to warm up to the idea that what she was feeling was real and meant something to her.

this is by far my new favorite in the series and i couldn’t imagine a better ending. we get all the same funny moments, quirky personalities, and so much more in this book and it truly made for such a bittersweet end! i can’t wait to reread this one in the future and fall even more in love

i do think that if i had physically read vs listened to the audio for this one it could’ve been a 5 star for me but the narrators were just not my favorite and i felt like it altered some things for me especially on how certain scenes and quotes were delivered

Ummmm excuse me? I’m so in love with them!
I see Black Cat x Golden Retriever AND IM IN!!!
The banter and chemistry between Nova and Charlie was to die for. I mean Charlie?? he was so down bad I WAS OBSESSED!
NOVA IS MY GIRL, she was so relatable.
I found myself swooning, crying, screaming, and cackling throughout the book it was so much fun 🥹
I was also very entertained by the audio, the narrators did an amazing job having me hooked.

All the stars! BK Borrison can do no wrong and writes the dreamiest books! The narrator’s were absolute perfection and brought the story to life in the best way possible. The characters are incredible and it fits so well with her back list. A must read! She’s an auto buy author always.

I've enjoyed this series since the very earliest independent release of Lovelight Farms when the author slid into my Instagram DMs asking me to read a copy of her debut romance. It's definitely sad to say goodbye to Inglewild and the gang, but Business Casual definitely finishes the series with a bang.

I've been waiting for Charlie and Nova's book for a while and Borison delivered! Both Charlie and Nova are so tender and lovely, I just wanted to give them both big hugs. Their banter is flirty and fun, all while the story shows us deep character development and growth both individually and together. Charlie's people pleasing tendencies and Nova's perfectionism both were so relatable and well written.

I listened to the audio of this one which is narrated by Pippa Jayne and Benjamin D Walker who are both new to me narrators. They were both perfect for their characters and very clearly differentiated their performance for different characters.

I voluntarily read a gifted copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

ARC Review:

Business Casual by B.K. Borison is book 4 of the Lovelight series! I have not read the first three books of this series but I will now!! This book was so much fun! The found family was amazing. The Porters are such a great family and I now need to read the other couples’ stories. The audiobook of Business Casual was very well done and I really enjoyed it! Both narrators did a great job bringing these characters to life. This storyline was so cute and I loved the characters. This is a reverse grumpy x sunshine romance.

Nova Porter was such a relatable character. Charlie gave such golden retriever energy. He was such a sweetheart! He was also so relatable. As a people pleaser myself I connected with Charlie a lot. Him and Nova were perfect for each other. They had great banter and had such great chemistry! This book had me laughing and smiling so much! This just made me want to read the rest of the books in this series. If you like reverse grumpy sunshine, friends with benefits to lovers, small town romance then you should definitely read this book! I am excited to read the other couples’ stories especially after seeing them in this story!

Thank you Net Galley and @BKborison for the ARC audiobook copy of Business Casual!!

📚 Business Casual is OUT NOW on kindle, audiobook, or physical copy!!!!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

HAPPY READING

"Business Casual" is the last installment in the Lovelight series. It's been on my radar for a while, but I haven't actually given it a chance until now. And I obviously do regret it. I absolutely love B.K. Borison's writing style! Although, this book can be easily read as a standalone.

I instantly fell in love with Charlie! He's such a sweetheart with a strong golden retriever energy. I kept giggling like a little school girl. He's just the best book boyfriend! Screw Nova, I want him for myself 😏🫢 I have really felt for him and wanted to give him a hug, he's such an amazing guy but he's overlooking all that 'cause of his insecurities. Oh, and screw his 'father' too.

I expected it to be a 5⭐️, but I'd just like more romantic moments between Nova and Charlie.

Nova Porter is trying to get her tattoo studio ready to open and certainly doesn’t have time for a relationship. Investment banker Charlie Milford lives in NYC, but seems to always be visiting Inglewild, and the pair has bantered back and forth for years. So when Nova dances with Charlie at his sister Stella’s wedding, she asks him for one night together. No pressure, no strings, just a chance to get whatever “this” is out of their systems. But after their sizzling night together, and with Charlie staying in Inglewild for the next month, it’s clear that just one night won’t do the trick.

I absolutely adore Nova and Charlie. Their quips and banter are a delight, and the perfect complement to their steamy chemistry. But they both have a lot more going on, from Charlie’s people pleaser tendencies and his desire to fit in, to Nova’s internal expectations for her new business venture. Migraine and ADHD rep also enhance their story.

Inglewild is also a character in this book, and is the reason this series is so well loved. It’s the ideal fictional small town, where everyone is a bit quirky and in each other’s business via the famous phone tree, but they all mean well. An added bonus here is lots of time with Beckett from In the Weeds. As Nova’s older brother and Charlie’s friend, he’s important to the plot, and getting to spend time with one of my favorite characters is a special treat.

Business Casual is the perfect finale to a wonderful small town romance series. If you are a fan of opposites attract, “just one night to get it out of our system,” and tons to heat and banter, you’ll adore this story. I’m sad to say goodbye to Inglewild, but I can’t wait to read what BK Borison writes next.

This was the perfect conclusion to the Lovelight Farms series! Nova and Charlie were the perfect compliments to each other. Their flirtations were so relatable! I adored how they were each other’s safe place to land. I loved the appearances of the 3 other couples, but I especially appreciated the family bond of Stella and Charlie. I will definitely be revisiting the world of Lovelight Farms over and over again.

I love getting lost in the world of Lovelight Farms. The audiobook was a quick and easy listen, both narrators are fabulous, and the story was beautifully told. I could vividly picture Nova’s tattoos and I enjoyed the vulnerability in Charlie. This is probably my second favorite book in the series (after the first one)! Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for the advanced audio preview!

I wanted to give this series another shot after not enjoying and DNF Lovelight Farms. This one did not do it for me once more, I just think this author's writing is not for me. The story just did not work, the characters chemistry felt off and I could not get into it. I had to DNF this one as well.

“I’ve taught myself how to be okay with fragments of feeling, but I don't want that with you. I want more than what you've given me. I want to give you more of me too. I love you, Nova girl. I tried my very best not to, but you wiggled your way right in there with no respect for my opinion on the matter."

Tattoos, small town gossip, one night stand, sunshine boy/grumpy girl. Need I say more?


4.5/5 (subject to change, I just feel like I’ve been giving out too many 5 stars idk & I feel like if I didn’t have a 101 degree fever when finishing this than maybe I would have cried more and it would easily be 5)

The audiobook was insanely good! Pippa Jayne and Benjamin Walker did a perfect job with Nova and Charlie.

The heartfelt conversations, the trust, the gradual love is so peak B.K. Borison because it’s so realistic. You are screaming for them to get together but love their slow burn.

This is absolutely the best way to end a series. The side characters got their moment while the focus stayed on Nova and Charlie.

The last book in the Lovelight Farms series! I am an emotional mess seeing this series come to an end. Stella and Luca, Evie and Beckett, Layla and Caleb, and finally we get Charlie and Nova! I loved the interconnectedness of these stories, the "found family" and actual family, and seeing the growth of each character and relationship. I loved being able to check in with our favorite couples from the first three books, and thought this was the perfect ending to this series.

Charlie and Nova. What a fantastic romance. From "only one time to get it out of their system", to the growth of their friendship. I loved getting to know Charlie more, after his cameos in the first 3 novels. We finally got to hear about Nova and how she started her journey with Beckett as a tattoo artist.

This was such a great read, I'd highly recommend reading this whole series. 5 stars!

Nova Porter isn’t looking for love, and she certainly has no explanation for her attraction to buttoned-up investment banker Charlie Milford. Maybe it’s his charm? Or maybe it’s his determination to help her business however he can. Either way, she’s distracted every time he’s around. With her new tattoo studio set to open in her hometown of Inglewild, she doesn’t have time for frivolous flirtations. In an effort to get Charlie out of her system, Nova offers a proposition: one night, no strings. They’ll kick their uncomfortable attraction to the curb and return to their respective responsibilities. But their night together scatters their expectations. And with Charlie in town as the temporary head of Lovelight Farms, Nova can’t avoid him. 

Thank you so much @netgalley, @authorbkborison, and @dreamscape_media for the ARC! B.K. Borison is the Queen of adorable small town romances full of heart and chemistry, and this book was no different! Charlie and Nova were wonderful characters, the definition of black cat and golden retriever. They had amazing banter and the tension between them was delicious. I loved the small town vibe of the story and really got a kick out of all of the other characters’ meddling in Charlie and Nova’s relationship. There was a good mixture of hilarious moments with more serious ones, and all of the characters seemed very real and relatable. And loved how Charley and nova were able to help each other fulfill their dreams and not be afraid of going for what they wanted. The audio performance of this was great, and I loved the dual narrators. Business Casual is available now!

Business Casual is the final installment of the Lovelight Farns series. Nova Porter, a tattoo artist, is unexpectedly attracted to Charlie Milford, a business-minded investment banker. They agree to a one-night stand to get over their chemistry, but it only brings them closer, with Charlie determined to prove he's worth her time.

I really loved Lovelight Farms and Mixed Signals, but I wasn’t a fan of In the Weeds so I wasn’t sure how I would feel about Business Casual. Overall, I was disappointed. While I love Charlie and Nova as individuals, I didn’t see the chemistry between them. I wish there had been more focus on how they became friends and how they developed their relationship. Most of the book is all smut, which I wasn’t expecting, and it didn’t seem to move their relationship forward. I found myself more interested in the subplots and enjoyed reading about the side characters more. Overall, I liked the series, even though the final book wasn’t my favorite.

(4.25 rounded down to a 4)

Business Casual by B.K. Borison is a small-town contemporary rom-com and the final book in the Lovelight series.

Nova is about to open a tattoo parlor in her hometown of Inglewild, but she can't get Charlie, a buttoned-up investment banker from NYC, out of her head. To try to get him out of her system, she proposes one night with no strings attached.

The audiobook is narrated by Pippa Jayne and Benjamin D. Walker. I like that Jayne narrated for all of the FMCs in this series, but they swapped up the narrators for the MMCs. All of them knocked these out of the park.

I'm so glad that Charlie got his own book! In the other books, he was coded as a party boy, but I always could tell he had layers. I really felt Seen in Charlie, because his ADHD presents in similar ways to mine, and we also both have similar coping mechanisms. Also the author called him a "chaotic himbo" and that is just a perfect description. Please let us protect this golden retriever hero.

This is definitely the most steamy out of the entire series. I think that Mixed Signals is still my favorite, but this one is likely right behind.

I know this is the final Lovelight book in the series, but can we pretty please with a cherry on top have an Inglewild series? Because I need to see what happens with Vanessa, and I'd really love to have at least a novella for Dane.

I think I would read this series forever, I just love the cast of characters.

I was fortunate enough to get an audiobook copy of this installment from dreamscape media and Netgalley and I raced to listen to the latest tale of Inglewild. The narration was great, with dual point of view and two different narrators for each of the main characters, which I always appreciate.

The youngest of the Porter crew, Nova, is drawn to perceived playboy Charlie, deciding their attraction is too big to not act upon their desires. A planned one night stand has the readers knowing there will be more to this relationship, but as always with the Lovelight series, half the fun is just getting to play along for the ride.

This one upped the spice factor to a higher degree than I remember in the others, so be ready for some heat!. As always the cast of characters in the town added so much to the story, making it feel very much like a Gilmore Girls town setting. The phone tree happening in the background made me chuckle and this book overall has me hoping for another installment. So much fun!
