Thank you to Netgalley and Pan Macmillan and the author for providing me with an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Bussines Casual is the last book in the lovelight series. About Nova and Charlie, two friends who only want something casual and spend one night together to get each other out of their systems.

I've been waiting for this book, i missed my lovelight babies and was little bit bittersweet with this book being the final book in this series. I adore the other 3 books. I adore luka and stella, beckett and evelyn, layla and caleb. But the thing is i didn't feel the same way to Nova and Charlie.

I do love them as individuals but together? not really.
I simply didn't feel any genuine chemistry between them. I know they started a little bit off with the friends and benefit situation but i wish i get to see more of them being domestic just those little things you know instead the nonstop smut scenes like i can't believe i said this but i skipped those parts. A few parts in the beginning were cute. but the next? CRINGE.

And the story got really repetitive in the middle it was so dragging. Basically just the same thing repeated and then they fucked and boom "oMG I lovE YoUuUu" i rolled my eyes.

It was very disappointing because them as an individuals as i mentioned have the chance to be a perfect couple but i just don't get why make it spicy but with zero connection between the two, like you can't convince me they love each other just because they slept with each other.

The only saving grace from this book are the moments from our previous beloved couples.

I am head over heels for Charlie and Nova, because B.K. Borison has done it yet again! She's woven this sunshine-filled, blanket-warm, snuggly treasure of a romance, among the red-brown of Inglewild in fall. We get to see everyone yet again (Luka and Stella are MARRIED!) in Inglewild, although moving a little further away from Lovelight here. The romance is both intimate and heart-pounding, balancing both a comforting, fireside warmth and a passion/love intense enough to rock the world. Charlie and Nova push and pull, give and take, but eventually become a moony-eyed honeymoon couple all over each other, each helping the other to find their place in the chaos of the world outside Inglewild.

I was absolutely thrilled to enter Porter family dinners, and to see Beck through Nova's eyes, plus seeing Charlie and his father after that one Thanksgiving dinner in Lovelight Farms had me biting at my nails. I never wanted this story to end; in my heart, I think, I'm still clinging on to everyone in Lovelight for dear life, because this is a home built by words. Can't wait for Ms Becs' next work!!

the easiest 5 stars i've ever given. i love novacharlie so much they're my children. i loved every single part of this book. and the fact that this did not have any 3rd act break up was just the cherry on top honestly. i love their dynamic. i love nova so much (i have a soft spot for women with tattoos who look intimidating but are the biggest softies at heart) and i love charlie so much i see so much of myself in him and i love them together so much. they had me giggling at every page. AND OH MY GOD THE LUKASTELLA CRUMBS😭😭😭😭 i died dead they are my absolute favourite and the fact that the book started with their wedding 🥹🥹🥹🥹 anyways 5/5 stars i love you b.k. borison

I was so happy when I got the approval email that I screamed 😂 I started reading the Lovelight series before I had my bookstagram account and it's my favourite small town romance series, so thank you for the ARC (I can't believe it's the last book in the series 😭).

It's been a while since book 3, so when I started reading this one, it felt like coming home. I honestly love this series so much that Inglewild and the people living there almost feel real.
I had a great time reading Business Casual and the main characters were amazing. Nova, a badass fmc with tattoos who's starting her own business and Charlie, a sweet guy escaping his stressful job in the city, are total opposites of each other but their banter and chemistry was incredibly well written. I think I even fell in love with Charlie. It made me very emotional how he acted like he was the life of the party on the outside and tried to please everyone, but on the inside, he felt like he wasn't really fitting in. What I liked most was both of their character development and how Nova and Charlie found a home in each other. The moment when Nova gave Charlie his first tattoo made me cry like crazy because it was so thoughtful and precious😭😍

I don't know what I'm going to do without this series, but Borison became one of my auto-buy authors and I'm looking forward to whatever comes next.

I didn't think I would love any of the pairings more than Stella and Luca but then this dropped and 😍 I ADORED Charlie and Nova. I loved the steady development of their relationship, some great communication between the two and healthy conversations about their feelings both with each other and others. It did make me want to go and get another tattoo 😂

Pretty sure this is the best Lovelight book yet... and such a great way to wrap up the Lovelight series. I always loved Luka, but Charlie might just be my new favorite???

The banter between Charlie and Nova is just so so soooooo good. And I feel like this definitely felt a bit faster paced than the previous Lovelight books just based on the nature of the whole 'one night stand to get it out of our systems'.

I also feel like this book was just so much more emotional to me than the others and I don't even now why really??? But yes. I cried in the first 30 pages and then throughout the last 50 pages, so thanks for that Becca.

Between the imposter syndrome and people pleasing tendencies I feel like I could relate so so much to both Charlie and Nova. (Charlie must be protected at all costs)

4.5 stars

I received an ARC copy of this novel for an honest review.

I have enjoyed all of the books in this series and the final instalment did not disappoint. Nova and Charlie were fantastic main characters who played off each other well.

The plot was well paced, with no forced drama in the last third - just character decisions and actions that feel suited to the characters in question.

I really liked the found family aspect of this series - in particular seeing Charlie find his own version of family and happiness - especially considering the dynamics with his father. I would have liked to see more interaction between Charlie and Nova and Nova’s family - in particular her parents.

I love the setting of this whole series - the supporting characters are fun and add a sense of humour and community to create a well grounded setting.

I would love to read more by this author and would be really interested in reading more about Nova and Beckett’s sisters and Selene.

I really enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it.

*thank you to netgalley and the publisher for an early copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*

I adored this! I can't put it into words how much I loved this book.One of the best grumpy sunshine romance I've read.It was executed perfectly. I honestly can't believe it took me this long to read this author and I can see what the hype is about. can't wait to read more! 5 stars and more!

4.5 stars!! this was such a fun, wholesome story!!! usually the plot would sound rather cliché but i‘ve felt soooooo many emotions while reading this🥹 the writing just felt so authentic and real, that the serious moments really hit in a relatable way. also CAN WE PLEASE NORMALIZE ELIMINATING THE MISCOMMUNICATION PLOT??? this book proves that two ADULTS dealing with relationship problems can be enjoyable to experience as a reader if the characters just say what they want and how they feel without making everything insanely dramatic and toxic. i love love love their relationship and the way they slowly learnt on their own that being in a committed relationship needs a lot of hard work but does not take away from anything. this book is very similar to „done & dusted“ but the writing is what makes this actually GOOD! haven‘t read the other lovelight farm books but now i wanna!

If Borison wasn't already an auto-buy author for me, and she definitely was, this would 100% have sealed the deal. Fiery banter, delicious tension, and an utterly enchanting love story has made this my favourite in the Lovelight series. Both Nova and Charlie absolutely stole my heart.

By far one of my favourite books from the Lovelight Farms series. You do not have to read the entire series, as this could be read as a standalone, but it is highly recommended to read all of them. Nova and Charlie are one of my favourite couples because I felt they experienced the most realistic relationship. Nova is a grumpy girl and Charlie is a sunshine character. They had some sweet moments together and there is no third-act breakup but real-life experiences, including being a long-distance couple. This series makes small-town living sound so fun and adds some irresistible charm.

A lovely swoon-worthy book, so many great moments, and such sweet quotes! Sad its the final instalment in the series, but a series I would recommend to everyone!

Loved it!

Thank you Pan macmillan for this arc! What a way to end our time in the Lovelight world, Charlie and Nova were absolutely everything and I loved seeing how all our favourite characters are doing. This hit all the trope spots, found family, small town, golden retriever MMC, just start to finish absolute joy.

I am absolutely in love with this book! This had been an anticipated read since the moment it was announced. I had so many expectations and this book met all of them and then some! The good bye to Lovelight will be tough, but we got four amazing stories and this book was such a worthy finale. My heart is full. I'm so so so happy. <3

One night is never really just one night, is it? I just finished this book today and i think that Charlie and Nova might just be the best lovelight couple 😭🩷 (4.75 stars!)
The chemistry? The way they comfort eachother??
“Charlie, who always makes it safe and easy for me to ask for what I need.” I was found dead.
“You don’t have to be lonely anymore. Not when you’ve got me.” ☹️☹️ + Nova being a grumpy fmc was just a chef’s kiss.
The little bits we got from the other three couple were so wholesome and just enough to make me giggle and kick my feet over them all over again!
This book was so comforting and cozy and a great way to end a lovely series. Becs did an amazing job with it and was able to create one of the best fictional worlds #tome

Thank you to Netgalley and Berkley Publishing Group for the ARC.

This is the best grumpy sunshine trope book I've read in a long time! It's one of those romance books you can't really point out what is happening all the time / nothing more than life is portrait and it keeps you hooked from the very beginning! The characters were very likeable and it was a great ending to the series!

I was recently approved to read Business Casual on NetGalley, but realised I hadn't read the other books in the series. So, I binged on B.K. Borison's Lovelight series and it was amazing. Business Casual was the perfect ending and my favourite of the series.

Nova and Charlie are the ultimate grumpy sunshine couple but have so much depth and chemistry and it’s one of the things I love about B. K. Borison’s writing. Nova is great, but Charlie really stood out in the story. Not only is he such a likeable character but his swoon worthy obsession with Nova is amazing, making him the perfect mmc.

This is one of my favorite reads of the year and I can't wait for more people to enjoy it when it's released in July.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a digital arc!

I have been waiting to write my review on this one because I don't know how to explain how much I love it.

This conclusion was everything I wanted it to be and Nova and Charlie are just my favorites. It was the perfect amount of angst, love, banter, tension, and everything else that makes me love Lovelight so much. I highlighted so many parts that hit me right in the feels, and I might have cried a little bit from happiness. Charlie and Nova feel like real people and I could see parts of myself in both of them.

5 massive stars! I can't wait to get my hands on a physical copy so I can annotate my little heart out of this.

This series is my absolute favorite and one I foresee myself re-reading time and time again.

4.5⭐️
A really enjoyable, low angst read, and a great ending to the series!
I loved both Nova and Charlie individually and together. They were so sweet and just perfect for each other- so in tune with each other’s needs and feelings. They both had a great sense of humour and there were some very funny lines throughout the book!
We also got to see lots of the characters from previous books too which I liked.

Thank you to the author and netgalley for this arc in exchange for my honest review.

Such a sweet innocent story without any major drama but just sweet loving. I so adore Charlie, he honestly deserves a world. I have no complains here; B.K. Borison just keeps surprising me every time I read her next book. I love this series!
