This is a great book to wrap up the series. I love Charlie and Nova. However, I will say that I will miss these characters terribly.

This was such a cute, heart-warming read. B.K. Borison always delivers on the emotion and heartstrings. Lovely banter, swoony romance, and a wonderful cast of characters. What’s not to love?

I’m going to be honest I love B.K. Borison but Business Casual was probably my least anticipated out of the Lovelight series. But let me tell you Mrs. Borison proved me wrong. And now I honestly think Business Casual is my favorite out of this series.

Before I get into the nitty gritty let’s rewind a bit. So, Business Casual, follows Nova and Charlie. Nova is Beckett’s sister who's a grumpy badass tattoo shop owner. And then we have sweet sweet Charlie. Quite literally our golden retriever hero. Charlie has been flirting with Nova for a while, neither of them are interested in a relationship. And one night they decided to throw caution to the wind a form a friend’s with benefits arrangement, our as they like to call it, Business Casual Relationship. PS I see what you did there Mrs Borison;) very clever. And of course like any friends with benefits relationships our couple can’t just have one night!
From the very beginning B.K Borison hooked me. I was smitten with Charlie and Nova right from the get to go. Their witty banter had my cackling. And don’t get me started on their chemistry. Ma’am I had to take breaks, BREAKS. The spice and chemistry between those two were definitely off the charts. Overall, Nova & Charlie’s story was relatable and truly pulled at my heartstrings. Both Characters had their struggles and strengths. And it was incredible to watch them both go through this journey of healing together.

B.K Borison has a fan for life , I'm excited to see what they write next!

Thank you NetGalley and Berkley Publishing Group for this arc in exchange for an honest review!

charlie milford…the man that you are. 🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️

Nova Porter and Charlie Milford are friends, kinda. Charlie's sister, Stella is best friends with Nova's older brother, Beckett and although Charlie is not from Lovelight, he has weaved his way into the towns atmosphere, which means, Nova sees Charlie, a lot. And likes what she sees. Charlie is no stranger to flirting with Nova Porter, and what better time to flirt than at a wedding? After a flirtatious night at a wedding, Nova offers Charlie a proposition, one night to get their attraction to one another under control. But what was supposed to hamper down their attraction, only makes it grow more intense. And this time? Charlie is in Lovelight for the long haul.

B.K. Borison wrote the perfect book to end the Lovelight saga. While adding updates to existing characters, she also successfully added layer upon layer to side characters Nova and Charlie while simultaneously making their romance one of a kind. Nova truly sees Charlie, and Charlie sees Nova, and they can both drop the weight of others' expectations when they're around one another.

Charlie is a piece of my heart, I love him and B.K. has made another swoonworthy Lovelight MMC. I loved how all of our favorite trio characters make an appearance in this book while not making it feel like an extended epilogue.

This was such a great ending to this lovelight farms series. I loved the parallels between Nova and Charlie. They are the perfect couple to end the series. We got some much info about them in the other books and I'm so happy they got their HEA. Its not often that we get a book about a tattooed FMC, and as a tattoo girlie myself it was so refreshing to read how much Charlie loved all of Nova's art. There was so much chemistry between these two characters that I swooned. B.K. Borison did an amazing job navigating the people pleaser in Charlie and all of Nova's insecurities. I loved that all the characters from previous books made appearances, the found family in this series was TOP TIER!!

Full official review on my socials will be posted one week before pub date.

I had to take some time to collect my thoughts and even still I don't know what to say other than I LOVE CHARLIE AND NOVA.

as the token Lovelight fan (I even have an In the Weeds tattoo), I knew I was going to love Business Casual. That being said, this MIGHT take the cake for my favorite in the series??? (if not an incredibly close second).

Charlie and Nova must be protected at all costs. these two are so so SO perfect for each other and continued to show up for each other time and time again. they communicated in their own language - so in tune with one another. GOD I love them.

not to mention, all the lovely appearances from our other Lovelight babies made me emotional. so emotional I actually cried (and I'm not a crier haha). it was truly just such a perfect ending to an even more perfect series.

read if you like:
- opposites attract
- black cat x golden retriever
- small town
- forced proximity
- friends with benefits
- sarcasm as a first language

thank you Berkley & BK Borison for the arc <3 I LOVE YOU GUYS.

This is a lovely finale to this Lovelight Farms series. It's been so fun to watch not only this series unfold but to watch Borison grow as an author and in her career. This is the story of Charlie and Nova. They are going to scratch an itch and "get it out of their system". But once turns into a month - just until he has to go home - and then turns into more. This romance grows but they do as well. And both are very satisfying.

Think Hallmark with steam and a little more depth and you've got a winner. This is fast and fun and definitely a romance you can't stop reading

Nova Porter has enough on her plate without needing to add a relationship to the mix. She has her hands full, ensuring everything is perfect for her new tattoo studio's grand opening, but that doesn't mean she can't make time to flirt with Charlie Milford. Despite not being a resident of their small town, Charlie spends as much time as he can in Inglewild, where he's an honorary citizen, and he loves nothing more than ruffling Nova's feathers. To get her mind back on track, Nova propositions Charlie. The pair agree to have one night together to get each other out of their systems, and then they'll go back to their respective responsibilities. Only one night isn't enough, and with Charlie in town for the month, they don't see the harm in continuing their little bed sport. But as the weeks pass and feelings deepen, can Charlie convince Nova that he's a risk worth taking?

Ugh, I'm so sad to see this series end. I love it so much. Each installment feels like being wrapped in a cozy blanket and given a warm drink to sip. Borison has such a knack for writing realistic relationships that never fail to make me swoon. Charlie and Nova were so fun. I adored the teasing banter and loved how they would rile each other up. Charlie is the human equivalent of a golden retriever, and Nova has this tough exterior with a squishy inside. They complemented one another perfectly. One of my favorite things about this series has always been the setting. The small-town vibe is perfect. I always finish these books wishing I could live in Inglewild. The secondary characters also shine, and I love the little-found family all the characters have created. If you're looking for a fun and flirty rom-com for the summer, I recommend checking it out.

What a solid finish to the Lovelight Farms collection! This story follows Nova and Charlie, two characters who deal with various insecurities and doubt of their self worth, but together realize they are deserving of the things they want most. Charlie was an absolutely perfect book boyfriend and golden retriever of human being. Nova was the ultimate cool girl I wish I could be. I felt like their relationship started quickly and had me (as the reader) wanting more of their backstory and to know more about their friendship but I appreciated that there wasn’t a slow burn romance that lasted most of the story. I also really appreciated that there wasn’t a third act break up/miscommunication trope. Overall I enjoyed their story! And as always love reading about the other Lovelight characters and Inglewood charms and quirks

*Thanks to NetGalley for allowing me the chance to read this ARC!*

I loved Business Casual! Every time I pick up a book in this series I like it more than the last. Nova and Charlie are so adorable and their love for the town of Inglewild had me wishing I could visit. Nova is so cool I would love to get a tattoo from her and I would die for Charlie he’s the sweetest. B.K. Borison never disappoints with a cozy small town romance, this is perfect for fall!

4.75! Thank you so much Berkley Romance for the eARC!!
What an amazing end to an amazing series! I'm so sad it's over but I'm also so glad it was an absolute banger! The amount of cameos from previous characters was perfect, especially for the Beckett girlies. I adored Nova and Charlie from beginning to end, and found myself getting so emotional reading some of their scenes. I'm so glad I got to get in their heads and they were truly a delight. Can't wait to see B.K.s next project! I will definitely read any and everything she writes!!

This book is incredible. BK Borison has a talent for making you feel like you're dropped right in the middle of the small town she's created. I'm sad that this is the last book in the series because the cast she's created feels like old friends now.

This book is literally a home for me 😭🤍

Thank you Berkley and NetGalley for the free arc in exchange of an honest review!

Lovelight is a town that forever will be in my heart but the way that all these characters OWN my heart is so surreal.

From the first page, Charlie and Nova already had me INVESTED. They are both such compelling and loving characters 🥹

So glad I was able to read this in the time that I did because this book brought me an insane amount of love and comfort when I needed it the most!

I have a strong appreciation for B.K. Borisons stories because found family is always such a big factor. I literally felt like I was a part of this lovelight family 🥰

I have so much love for this book, it had a perfect amount of everything. From the friendship building to the chemistry build up and to the romantic relationship itself.

Charlie is a man with a heart of gold, he truly deserves someone who sees him and all that he is and I am glad that Nova does ❤️‍🔥

As for Nova, my girl needed Charlie in her life. This man worships the floor that she walks and is so attentive to her needs. She got lucky with him, we all deserve a Charlie in our lives.

The ending made me so happy because it is so PERFECT for their specific relationship 🤍

I loved seeing all the other characters in the story, my love to them as well!!

There is so much to love about this book, from the relationship to the tattoos to the found family and nosy town!! I hope you all love it just as much as I do!!! 🤭

Also this book was so “You are in love” by Taylor Swift coded, I could write entire essays about it 🫡

So excited for B.K.’s next book cause I will for sure be tuning in 😘

I requested this ARC after having finished all the other books in the Lovelight Farms series, loving a couple and just thinking the others were ok. I wasn't sure what I'd think of this one, but I was super pumped when I got approved for the ARC.

Nova Porter is just about to open her own tattoo studio in her hometown. Everything has to be perfect, especially because she wants to make her family proud. Her brother Beckett, the farmer at Lovelight Farms, has always supported her and she wants to do right by him. She's been so stressed during all the build up that her sister suggests she blow off some steam. Enter Charlie, Stella's brother from NYC. He visits their small town regularly and always finds time to flirt with Nova. He's the perfect candidate to have a one night stand with, until one night isn't enough. Then he's the perfect guy to have a friends with benefits sort of relationship with. But as Nova gets to know Charlie, she learns he's so much more than what she thought she knew. And Charlie deserves so much more than he accepts. Will a change in the terms of their relationship work for each of them?

I freaking loved Charlie in this. His character is deep, yet light and funny. There's just so much more than meets the eye to him and I absolutely loved that. I also couldn't get enough of the banter between Nova and Charlie. The tension built perfectly and I swear I swooned. I think this is my favorite of the series so far. I couldn't put it down.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

4.75 stars!!

thank you so much to Berkley and Netgalley for providing me with an arc!

I absolutely LOVED this one! for someone that decided to start the love light farms series on book 4 for some unknown reason, I wasn't confused one bit and completely inhaled this book. the black cat x golden retriever trope will always be a favorite of mine and BK Borison truly knocked it out of the park! I will be rereading this on release day and I can't wait to see what BK does next.

Business Casual by B.K. Borison, published by Berkley Publishing Group, is book four in the Lovelight Series. Every book can easily be read as a stand alone. For best readingf experience I recommend to read the books in order, as are: Lovelight Farms, In the Weeds, Mixed Signals and Business Casual.
Nova and Charlie are not quite a couple, they settle for a ons, and no strings, but karma has other plans. The stiff banker who is temporary head of Lovelight Farms and the newly business woman who still has a lot to learn.
An highly entertaining fabulous story, I recommend the book and the series, 5 stars.

A stunning edition to the Lovelight farms saga. I love these books, and Charlie and Novas story was so beautiful. I loved the continuation of each couples story as well. B K Borison is one of my auto buy authors and this one’s does not disappoint.

This book was fantastic. Fantabulous. Amazing. Remarkable.

I was scared to read it because I didn’t want to say goodbye and I read the author’s note where BK says she also dragged her feet writing because she didn’t want to say goodbye and that had me sobbing into my kindle.

Charlie and Nova have been very anticipated by the readers who needed Charlie since book 1. I think it made it even better because we got snippets of who Charlie and Nova were as people before they got together. Very subtle moments, pieces that we held onto waiting for their book. They were the most beloved side characters that we needed to see get their own book, and it was so satisfying to see them get it.

Charlie and Nova are very similar yet so different. They both don’t speak their minds on what they want, but they bring it out in each other to learn to speak to the other. Their love for their passions is unique and Charlie’s love for what Nova loves was adorable. I related to Charlie with his spreadsheets - 50% opacity is where it’s at.

In case you’re wondering, the phone tree is indeed alive and well. And when you get to the end and you find out what Charlie decides to do with his life, please DM so we can cry over it together and talk about how perfect it is. 😭

I loved every second.

My favorite moment was:
“Forget-me-nots were always my favorite, and—well. You’re kind of my favorite too.”
“I’ve never been anyone’s favorite.”
“Well, you’re mine.”

5⭐️ | 2🌶️

Siiiiiiiiiiigh. I kept putting this book down, not because I wasn’t enjoying it, but just because I didn’t want my journey back to Lovelight Farms to end. I love Charlie and Nova and want to dive into their world and be their besties and get a ton of tattoos from Nova. I adore the Lovelight series and can’t wait to see what BK Borison has up her sleeve next! Thank you, NetGalley, for the ARC!

Thank you to B.K. Borison, Berkley Romance and NetGalley for a no-strings-attached sneak-peak preview of this book.

Charlie has always wanted a place to feel at home - more accurately a place where he felt accepted and loved for who he is. When he sends his half-sister Stella and her new husband on an all-expenses month-long honeymoon trip to Italy takes over her job running her farm (while also staying on top of his full-time investments/finance guru job). But for the first time, he feels truly happy, even if he knows it's just make-believe (especially when Nova agrees to a "business casual" situationship.)

Nova has always known she belonged in Inglewild. On the brink of opening her own tattoo studio she's desperate to prove to her family and herself that she can be imperfectly independent and still succeed. Except she didn't plan for Charlie to crowbar his way into her life and become a necessity she doesn't want to live without.

Business Casual is such a lovely finale to the Lovelight Farms series - I hope we get to see more of Inglewild in future books. This gentle love story honors both of the character's realities beautifully and I love how Charlie and Nova are at such opposite place in their lives while somehow also in the same place - both striving to be truly seen by someone for who they are underneath the facades they built around themselves. B.K. Borison really rounded out her series with my two favorite characters. Both are quirky, fun, and intriguing opposites to one another. This is truly a can't-miss book!

<spoiler> I only wish that Charlie's ADHD had been discussed more - it is written as a large part of his driving personality but the therapeutic/medical realities, accommodations, and personal life choices of living with ADHD were not discussed. In comparison in In the Weeds, Becket's accommodations he needs are addressed. </spoiler>

CW: Toxic parental figure/relationship
Rep: ADHD (Charlie). Migraines (Nova).

What to expect: Tattooed FMC, Fun-loving MMC, Friends-FWB-Lovers, sneaking around, brothers friend, forced proximity tropes.

4/5 Stars and 3/5 spice.
