I don't have enough words to describe how much this series means to me or how much I adored Business Casual being the conclusion to our time in Inglewood. This series has been the bright spot on the gloomiest and hardest of days, and somehow, every time I have picked up any of the books in the Lovelight Farms series, it has been the exact book I have needed at that particular moment in time.
Business Casual was truly stunning, and Charlie and Nova have my heart forever. This book just felt like magic to me, and seeing Charlie's journey in particular, melted my heart and made me shed a few (a lot) of tears. Chapter 23 is forever ingrained in my brain, and I will forever think it is one of the best chapters ever written in the history of romance. I swooned, laughed, squealed in delight, and smiled so hard my cheeks hurt. It was a true joy reading this. Add this to the top of your TBR when it releases on July 16, 2024.
Thank you, B.K. Borison. You have written a family of characters that I know will always be waiting with open arms and a hot cup of coffee and warm croissant from Layla's. I can't wait to visit often.
Thank you to Berkley Romance and NetGalley for a free ARC.

As with all of BK Borison’s books I over this story. Another romcom hit. Charlie might be my favorite Inglewood man yet.
There are some typos that need to be fixed and there is a paragraph where Nova talks about opening her shop in her home town and basically repeats herself twice in a paragraph, that was a bit much. Otherwise this book was great!
I will certainly be reading more of BK Borison and anything she writes in the setting of this small enchanting town.

Advanced Reader Copy Review
Business Casual is the perfect ending to the Love Light Series. Nova and Charlie are so captivating as a couple. I loved the representation of imposter syndrome, ADHD, and Migraines. It made the book so much more relatable that the characters not only had "typical" romance novel issues, but these layers made the story so much more relatable for small-town romance that gives Gilmour Girls vibes with its quirky small-town characters and vibes. Business Casual is officially my favorite book of the series, and I'm very sad that Love Light has ended.

Once again, the Lovelight series is a scorching, love filled read for me! Spicy with sexual tension, I love the development of the story and characters as well as the appearances of characters from past books. You know the siblings are going to meddle! Another delightful read in this series!

OMG...... the best Lovelight book yet!!!

5/5 Stars
3/5 Spice

Charlie and Nova's story had me hooked! It was everything I'd been hoping for and more. Becs' writing was on fire, with scorching-hot tension, hilarious banter, and those raw, vulnerable emotions that hit you right in the feels. The small-town vibe was so cozy, and having glimpses of previous couples in the series felt like catching up with old friends. Charlie and Nova felt like real people, imperfect and lovable, and their journey was so beautifully real. I'm dying for everyone else to fall in love with them too!

Nova, the badass running a tattoo shop, and Charlie, our golden retriever hero in finance? Their dynamic was everything! They started as flirty friends with no interest in commitment, but one night changed everything. Their chemistry was off the charts, and I couldn't stop laughing at their banter. But beyond the laughs, their journey was so personal and touching. Charlie's selflessness and Nova's bravery were so relatable, and seeing them find healing together was just beautiful. And let me tell you, that friends-to-lovers trope? Executed to perfection!

This book hit me right in the feels, and I was full-on sobbing at times. Nova and Charlie together? Magic. Pure and simple. I won't spoil anything, but trust me, this book deserves every one of its five stars.

Huge thanks to Berkley Publishing Group for the ARC!

Tropes:
- friends to lovers
- let's get it out of our system
- black cat and golden retreiver

I am not ready to say goodbye to the lovely world of Lovelight. But wow what a way to go out. Nova and Charlie’s story was everything. Charlie is precious and must be protected at all costs. The found family in this series is really beautiful.

I could not possibly love this book more. I have adored the entire series but this might very well be my favorite of them all. The trust and the insecurities and the sense of belonging—it all feels like being wrapped in a warm hug with cocoa and a blanket and a purring cat on my lap. Like home.

Thank you so, so much to the publisher and NetGalley for the e-ARC!

Business Casual is a sizzling romance that proves opposites attract and sometimes one night just isn't enough!
Nova Porter and Charlie Milford couldn't be more different, but their chemistry is undeniable. From buttoned-up banker to tattooed entrepreneur, they're like fire and ice, yet they can't seem to stay away from each other.
With witty banter and steamy encounters, the author crafts a story that will leave readers swooning and wanting more. Nova's determination to focus on her business clashes with Charlie's persistence, leading to a battle of wills that is as entertaining as it is passionate.
Their one-night proposition quickly spirals into something more, challenging their assumptions and forcing them to confront their feelings. Will they succumb to the heat between them or will they stick to their original plan?
Business Casual is a delightful read that will leave you rooting for Nova and Charlie to find their happily ever after. the author's writing is engaging, the romance is electric, and the characters are charming. So, grab your favorite beverage and get ready for a steamy ride through the world of business and pleasure!
Thank you to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

Favorite book of the series!! Love Charlie and Nova. All of these books make you want to live in Lovelight Farms. Favorite author and favorite series… sad to see it end.

ok this book was actually laced with crack. let me tell you— I was in a life altering CRIPPLING slump and this book CURED ME! this book lowkey fixed my life!!! business casual had literally everything I was looking for in a book!!!! being back in the lovelight universe was so lovely and truly felt like a warm hug. from the second I started reading I felt like a warm blanket was being wrapped around me bc seeing all our lovelight peeps and couples was so sweet. and then we get to see the highly anticipated nova and charlie in action. and WOW WOW WOW!!! the tension was pouring off the pages from the START!!!!! I loved seeing charlie in his full throttle charisma and flirty ness✨. that man could charm my pants off and he wouldn’t even have to try!!!! and I absolutely loved seeing nova and her black cat, fierce and sassy self. a woman after my own heart truly!!! their dynamic was to die for bc charlie knows exactly how to push nova’s buttons (but in a good way!!!) and I loved seeing how everything unfolded. I feel like from the start charlie knew nova wanted him deep deep down but he needed to help her realize that. and he did it in the best way bc he was so patient and never pushed her. he let her slowly figure it out on her own and had her going from I don’t need a man and/or relationship to I WANT AND NEED YOU CHARLIE MILFORD!!!

I genuinely loved every single aspect of this book. the setting, the side characters, CHARLIE AND NOVA OBVI, the tension, the spice 🥵🤌🏼❤️‍🔥. seeing more of nova and beckett (my mans) in action and their beautiful and sweet sibling relationship was to did for 🥹. the little antics of the meddling town and the phone tree and all their chaos had me giggling into my kindle it made me SO HAPPY.

but most importantly I loved seeing the growth of both charlie and nova throughout the story. I feel like I related to nova in many ways (except the black cat girly bc i’m a sunshine girly through and through) and seeing her be open to letting someone in made my heart truly so happy. and seeing charlie realize he had his people and support group made me want to cry. two absolutely beautiful characters truly!!!

I can’t believe this series is now over. it’s truly been such a treat from start to finish. this town and the people will always be so special to many of us. I love that throughout the series b.k. consistently gave us cute rom-coms, heavy on the romance, beautiful inticimacy and overall to die for sweet moments between the couples. makes me want to cry fr it’s so beautiful!!!!!

Dare I say this is BK's best book yet? I will always have a special place in my heart for Lovelight Farms, but this one is the best. Right from the beginning I was so invested in this story. Charlie and Nova melted my heart a million times over. They are also HOT! The tension, chemistry and spice.. yes please.

Give me a grumpy v. sunshine trope, and I will eat it up... give me that trope where the woman is the grump and the man is the golden retriever and I will DEVOUR it.

Charlie is so sweet to Nova it hurts. His obvious adoration of her is consistent and precious, and it's so cute how they thought one night with each other would cleanse the other out of their systems.

This series has quickly become my favorite of all time, and this installation only solidifies that.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

Pretty much conflict-free, but somehow it doesn't matter? Nova and Charlie are characters I liked, spending time in Inglewild again was nice, the steamy parts were steamy, the funny parts were funny. I think this is my favorite in the series.

What a fantastic read! Nova & Charlie's story is so sweet. Tropes include friends with benefits, he falls first, golden retriever energy MMC, best friend's sibling, and small town. Best of all? NO THIRD ACT BREAKUP!! Highly recommend!

This was my least favorite of the Lovelight series. It was quite steamy and some of the scenes were a little "squick" for me. I loved Charlie and I was rooting for him to understand himself more and to stop trying to earn love. All in all it seemed to drag on. 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ A little spicy for my taste. Caution to sensitive readers.

Read if you like these tropes:
•Brother's Best Friend
•Friends to Lovers
•Opposites Attract

Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Love this latest book in this charming series. I love the characters and the setting. I hope we get a whole town's worth of books in this series.

I had to give myself time to read the first books in the series and let me say I am so glad I did! This book is an amazing way to end the series I loved everything about Charlie and Nova! I loved the way the characters fell hard in a way the reader saw coming but the characters have no idea lol! Basically these two people throw themselves into work when they meet and pour into each other in a way that really drew me in. Charlie was perfection and the series was perfect I so glad I could read it through the end!

Another fantastic book in this series from BK Borison. Love this series and don't want it to end. I can't wait for more from this author and I can't wait to grab the audio version as well.

In the fourth and final installment of the Lovelight Farms series, we follow Nova and Charlie. Nova is a grumpy tattoo artist that has sworn off love and Charlie is Stella’s brother who helps occasionally run the business.

I kept a lot of notes while reading and here’s the gist of those notes

I was not a fan of how the book started as it started with Stella and Luka’s wedding and it immediately felt like the main characters would be side characters in their own book..

Charlie and Nova in the first few chapters were hard to differentiate , based on how they spoke (this however does change and you can surely differentiate the two as you continue reading ) they even said the exact same sentence in regards to Stella and Luca

I was not a fan of how sexually Charlie was thinking about Nova at the beginning and when she asks him to come home with her a few minutes later, he was clueless as to what she meant when he had stated he was suspicious of her flirting with him..

This is a direct quote from my notes “the first s*x scene… I wanna cry it’s so cringey” they kept reassuring each other that it was good and then for some reason mid s*x scene John Stamos was mentioned ??? And when Nova was about to O, she said almost there? It was just awkward for me

Charlie also at the beginning had somewhat of a degradation kink that faded out.

Throughout the first three books, we were following main characters that were continuously mentioned in all three of the books. Nova was mentioned as a side character in the second book from Beckett‘s perspective as she is his sister. I read the first two books in the series earlier this month and I cannot ever recall Stella having a brother name Charlie. I do not know why I cannot remember if it was mentioned, but he must have been that insignificant of a character In my opinion, if I didn’t even remember that he existed. So ending the series together with two side characters getting together? I just think that they were too irrelevant for me to be as invested in them and care about them when I was wanting more from the main characters of the past three books.

That also ties in to me, not liking that the book started with the wedding scene because I wish that we got more background from our two main characters as we did not know them very well and within the first eight chapters of the book it felt very Insta love. Also, at this very same point in the book I was more invested in Vanessa’s life, and was hoping that there would be a Novella written for Vanessa.

I also feel like this book contained more of a time span than the last books because within 50% of this one it had already been weeks.

I know it sounds like I’m saying a lot of bad things about this but once you push through and get through all that not so good stuff that I just stated I did end up getting pretty invested and Charlie and nova and I was really rooting for them and I do really love how BK ended did the book and the story for Lovelight Farms.

I also do wish that we had a little bit more snippets of the phone tree. The gossipy phone tree is one of my favorite things that wasn’t every single little book, but I feel like it was in this one a lot less than the previous three.

Other than that, I did enjoy the book and the ending and I love the entire series just following all these characters in the small little town finding love and going through a lot of personal growth

Thank you to NetGalley for the arc in exchange for an honest review.
