✨ALC Review✨

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Every time I’m with her it’s like a vacuum of time and space until there’s nothing but her smoky laugh, and her dark blonde hair, careful touches, and wicked grins. She reduces me to ash with the flick of her finger.”

This is the final installment of the Lovelight series, and it is such a great ending. I loved that we got to see more of the previous characters in this one as well. The found family trope in this series is a favorite for me! Business Casual made me laugh out loud, blush, and cry happy tears.

I adore Nova and Charlie. They get together for a one-night stand to get it out of their system, but it wasn’t enough. Charlie is in town running the farm temporarily, and that means Nova can’t avoid him. I found both of them to be so relatable. Nova is grumpier and she feels as if everything had to be perfect all of the time. I loved watching her take steps into doing things just for herself. Charlie is a sunshine boy who gives away a piece of himself to everyone. But deep down he felt so undeserving. I wanted to give him a big hug this entire book. When they find little pieces of happiness in each other throughout the story, I was a swooning mess.

“I’ve never been anyone’s favorite,” he whispers.
“Well,” I say, feeling defensive. “You’re mine.”

Business Casual has:
💚 Reverse grumpy/sunshine
🤍 Just once
💚 ADHD rep
🤍 Spice
💚 Opposites attract
🤍 Found family
💚 Cute nickname

This audible was narrated by Pippa Jayne and Benjamin D. Walker. They did an amazing job! Their voices matched the characters for me, and they really emphasized all of the emotions. I have added this aisle to my comfort list.

Thank you to NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for giving me this ALC!

Thank you Dreamscape Media and Netgalley for the advance reading copy. B.K. Borison does it again. I've been waiting for Nova & Charlie to have their story and the wait was worth it. Their snarky dialogue and off the charts chemistry had me flying through this audiobook wanting to see them reach their happily ever after 🥰 Beloved characters from the other Lovelight Farms series are present in this novel and it's just a feel good read that everyone needs to add to their TBR list ❤️

This book feels like coming home 🥰 Charlie & Nova are the addition to Lovelight Farms that I didn’t know I needed. I thought Caleb & Layla were it for me, but these two are so dang sweet. I wasn’t sure about Charlie in Mixed Signals, but from the second we saw him at the wedding yelling for Nova across the room, I was hooked!

Business Casual couldn’t have began any better. The cameos and catch-ups on characters were perfect. I said “aww” to myself multiple times.

Some of my favorites & take-aways:
•we get to hear Luka call Stella ‘LaLa’ again
•Nova’s ’bubble wrapped heart’ … relatable
•the phone tree
•Nova & Charlie when Beckett forces his way into her house
•she buys snacks for him (my love language)
•when he calls her Nova Girl 🥰
✨that epilogue! Stop it. Chef’s kiss! ✨

• casual secret relationship • friends to lovers • grumpy x sunshine • small town • golden retriever MMC • tattoo artist FMC • tension + chemistry •

🎧Pippa Jayne & Benjamin D Walker. Pippa has narrated all FMCs in the Lovelight series & while I think this is an unpopular vote, I LOVE her as these characters. I love the way she does the male voices. She brings these audiobooks to life and I could listen all day long.

Ahh! The final book in 𝘓𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 is my favorite of the series. It was the perfect ending. I absolutely loved Nova and Charlie and their hilarious banter and bickering, and of course their flirting and chemistry. The small town shenanigans reached a whole new level - I could never get tired of these characters. They are so relatable, funny, and endearing. The way Charlie cared for Nova was perfection, and I really loved how they were both so confident yet vulnerable.
I listened to the audiobook and I enjoyed the narration by Pippa Jayne and Benjamin D. Walker, they did a great job!!

Thank you to NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for the ALC!

Thank you to NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

I have been waiting so long for this book, and it was so worth the wait!!! Nova and Charlie are perfect for each other, and I couldn’t get enough of them. They are perfect. I loved their text chains. They are so goofy and hot together, I simply could not stop listening to this book. Absolutely an incredible way to end this little series of Lovelight Farms.

Having all of the cameos of the other couples was SO good. Literally the perfect amount. I missed all of them, and I loved getting to laugh about the phone tree, siblings arguments, and more. It was all just so amazing.

Back to Charlie and Nova, I think Borison made this book and love story so, so special. I love how easily they melted into each other’s lives. It was a no brainer that they were made for each other.

This books comes out 7/16. You don’t want to miss it.

CW: sexual content, cursing, toxic relationship (parental), alcohol use, chronic illness

I love this series and I was so excited to read this newest installment.

The Lovelight Farms books are like a cozy hug. I love the characters and the town and how each of their stories are so complex and yet so heartfelt.

Charlie and Nova's story was so tender and funny. They brought a smile to my face with every chapter. Trying to hide their relationship brought a dose of hijinks but they were so caring with each other. I loved learning more about Charlie and Nova through their story.

I loved seeing glimpses of what our other couples are up to, as well as secondary characters around town.

With the audiobook as well, the narrators were fantastic!

I know we've covered all of the seasons now, but I hope there will be more from Lovelight in the future.

I need to find the right words to make this a coherent review, but all I can say now is that this book was the perfect ending to the most amazing, comforting series.

I am so sad that there won't be any more books in the Lovelight series. I've laughed, I've cried, and I've fallen in love with all these amazing characters over the course of all four books, but I think Charlie and Nova's story might take the top spot for me as my favorite. (Don't get me wrong, Beckett is and always will be my most perfect book boyfriend, but Charlie is a close close second).

I really felt for Charlie and his struggle to accept the found family he stumbled into in Inglewild. I loved his easy banter and flirtation with Nova and how they fell slowly in love while having a casual situationship. I also loved that there was no third act breakup!!

Other things I loved:
🍂 Fall season
🍂 Casual relationship
🍂 Found family
🍂 Small town

Business Casual by BK Borison is the perfect finale to the Lovelight farms series!

I absolutely loved listening to the audiobook. The narration was perfect. I felt like the narrators fit the characters perfectly and it felt like I was listening to the characters speak in real life. It was engaging, charming and funny. It added to the story and made it seem as If I was watching the perfect romcom. I also absolutely loved Charlie and nova. their dynamic was perfection. I couldn't think of anyone better for each other. They’re opposites but opposite attraction and they gravitate towards each other. Charlie and Nova are inevitable. Always drawn to each other and they bring out the best of each other, complementing and supporting the other without taking away their independence. The perfect black cat girlfriend and golden retriever boyfriend. I loved their love story. Lovelight is my comfort series that makes me feel soft and happy inside and as sad I am to see the book end I couldn't think of a better ending for them. I highly recommend this story!

My Rating: 4.25 ⭐️
Spice Rating: 🌶️🌶️🌶️

Business Casual is the fourth and final book in the Lovelight Farms series by BK Borison.
I have loved all of the books in this series, but this one seems to be in a league of its own.
Charlie- a wealthy, golden retriever, investment banker and Nova- a confident and determined tattoo shop owner, were so easy to adore. Their playful flirting and banter were swoon-worthy.
This was by far the spiciest of the Lovelight series to me, but it wasn’t all “romance” focused. There was so much self development that each character goes through on their own that just adds to the beautiful story they build together.
I’m sad to see this series end. I have loved visiting Inglewild and the adorable characters we’ve come to love. From the people, to the silly phone tree- the small town dynamic in this series will wiggle its way straight to your heart.

I listened to the audio version of this book and absolutely loved it! The narrators did an amazing job bringing the story to life.

Fave Quotes:
“Asking for help doesn’t make you less deserving of anything you’ve already achieved on your own.”

“Nova, I don’t think my feelings are business casual.”

4.75⭐️ He cuts her grapes into tiny hearts when she is sick. 🥰I freaking adored Charlie who thought he was too much and Nova who was so guarded. They were so different but also so prefect for each other.

I did this book on audio and the production was amazing. It is book 4 in a series and I only had previously read book 1, but I feel like it can totally be read alone. If anything it only made me want to go back and read the others now because I enjoyed the characters so much.

I was given an ALC of this book and my opinions are my own.

This book does not disappoint and the narrators did a fantastic job! Great addition to the Love Light Farms books. I loved it, cried, but still loved it.

Business Casual

Business Casual is filled to the brim with campy banter that brought a goofy smile to my face while I was listening. If you need believable conversations, many scenes won’t work for you. I frequently asked myself, “Wait, they can be THIS oblivious, can they?” These are truly the most bizarre minor miscommunications ever. But it was humorous and worked with the tone of the book as a whole. Nova and Charlie’s romance is of the friends-to-lovers variety and does a great job of hitting on what I love about the trope. The characters are what I have come to expect from Borison: extra and immensely lovable. There were some areas of the plot that dragged a bit for me, but nothing overly distracting.

Thank you B. K. Borison, Dreamscape Media, and NetGalley for my advanced listening copy in exchange for an honest review. My opinions are my own.

What a fun and interesting book! A solid 4.5⭐️! This is not only my first read of this series but the first time I’ve read anything by this author. A easy to read romcom that had me laughing out loud multiple times. That’s truly a unique experience for me.

This is my favorite type of romance - realistic. I could feel the emotions throughout and it felt REAL. Something that wasn’t over blown. I loved these two together. The depth of the main characters was refreshing especially the MMC. So many times in life we wear masks and initially that’s what I saw of him, but as the story progressed you could see who he truly was and how it affected him.

If you are looking for a book with depth that will make you laugh without unrealistic drama then this is the book for you.

I received an audiobook via NetGalley, but that did not alter my review in any way.

not me crying on my run when this audiobook ended 😭😭 I have adored the lovelight farms series, and boy did it end on a high note. I never thought any of the lovelight couples would top Stella and Luka for me, but Nova and Charlie just might have done it.

A tattoo artist trying to prove herself to her small town and family, and a man just trying to find where he belongs— this book was the perfect conclusion to this incredible series.

I love Charlie and Nova’s banter, their love for lovelight farms and their community, and their commitment to the things they love. The way they are each other’s biggest cheerleaders— I just adore them!!!!

Business Casual comes out this Tuesday, and I highly highly recommend you pick it up, whether it’s a physical copy or an audiobook (which is FANTASTIC— I listened to books 2-4 on audio, and these two were definitely my favorite voice actors!)

Business Casual is the fourth book of the Lovelight series of interconnected standalones. Charlie and Nova melted my heart! They decide to have a one night stand to get the other out of their system. Except it didn’t work out that way. They neither one want a relationship and Charlie knows he is only in town for a short time before he heads back to NYC to his corporate job. I loved the angst and tension with both of them fighting their feelings but are so drawn to each other. I loved the banter and little jokes between them that showed that they were growing to be more than lovers. I also loved how involved everyone in town is and getting more of the characters from the other books in the series. I’m sad to say goodbye to these amazing characters that I haven’t read yet grown to love but I’m excited to see what else this author brings us!

I also listened to the audiobook while following along with the ebook. Pippa Jayne and Benjamin D Walker both did an excellent job of bringing Nova and Charlie to life. They both did a good job of doing the voices of the opposite sex, especially Pippa! I highly recommend the audiobook for this one!

Yeeeees! I Loved everyting about this book! HAd me laughing and swooming! Loved Lovelight Farms, but this was even better!
Defently going on the reread-list :D

All the stars! I finished the book and promptly burst into happy tears.

This was so heartfelt and fun and spicy and delicious and I didn’t want it to end. While it was clearly Charlie & Nova’s book, it was also full of lovely moments with all the Lovelight favorites- a gorgeous conclusion to a gorgeous series!!

I know this will be a book & series I come back to again and again.

Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for the ALC copy of the book. I had already started a physical read when I received the audiobook, and personally struggled to connect with the narrators. So I ended up sticking with a physical read for the book.

Thank you to Dreamscape Media and NetGalley for this advanced copy of Business Casual.

This is hands down my favorite of the Lovelight Farms series. Nova and Charlie’s relationship is so wonderful. The banter is perfect, the town and its quirks, and also the representation of ADHD. This is almost the perfect way to end the series. I only wish I could have seen the future for the crew! Either way, I love the story of Charlie and Nova.

The narrator’s were great. They helped me feel really in the story (much better than the narrators for book 3)


4.25 stars rounded up to 5.

DNF at 37%. Sad because I've enjoyed the other books in the series. especially Lovelight Farms!! But as I continued the series, I realized that these books have almost no stakes. I know these are meant to be "low angst" and cozy, but...there still has to be some tension. And from the get-go, this one basically was just both of them being into each other, and there was literally no reason for them not to just...be together? The writing is really great, and the spice is spicy, but I guess I just need to feel like there are things happening in the story to keep me interested.

I listened to this as a standalone without realising Business Casual is the 4th instalment in a series, and I LOVED it. It was a perfect small town romance so I know I’ll be binging the other 3 books after this. This isn’t a trope I usually reach for, but I enjoyed it so much! The banter, the spice and the golden retriever energy from Charlie had me hooked. The dual POV kept me captivated, and the narrators did an amazing job.
