This is the third installment to B.K. Borison's Lovelight series! I think it is safe to say that this one is my favorite one so far! It was heartwarming, cozy, and absolutely delightful to read! Perfect for summer!
First I have to say that the match of Caleb & Layla was perfection! I loved seeing them together and their moments were super sweet! Each of them on their own as characters, they were so relatable and charming. Layla is an excellent adorable baker, who was just getting tired of love and her failed string of relationships. That is super relatable to a lot of us who are frustrated by our own progress in romance. Caleb was adorable and one of my favorite love interests in this series! I loved his devotion to Layla and how much he loved her and encouraged her. How no woman would want a guy like him is beyond me. The fake dating while at first didn't make much sense it was still creative and a great way to use that trope.
The one thing I loved was how this book explored a slow kind of romance and the importance of communication in a relationship. Not many books explore that kind of topic and it was refreshing to read that here. Layla and Caleb's communication was amazing and the banter between them was coming off the pages.
The town of Inglewild was as vibrant as it was in the last two books. I love this little town and will be sad to see it go after reading the last book in the series. The town residents were just as much characters as the main couple were! We also got to see the previous couples from the last two books who were adorable and lovely as ever. Stella was a great friend to Layla when she needed one and it was nice to see how the two of them met and got into business together. Beckett still remains to be my favorite quiet burly farmer who was there for the farm even though he didn't show it in a traditional way.
I can't wait to read Business Casual in a couple months! I am sad to see the series end but also excited to read Charlie's story and see what kind of romance we get next!

This book is definitely my favorite of the series! I just adored Caleb and Layla, individually and as a couple. Caleb feeling like too much? Very relatable. Layla feeling like she isn’t deserving of deep love and kindness? Also relatable. You immediately find yourself rooting for them. Caleb is the sweetest and is extremely supportive. He will have you swooning while you read. You’ll get the butterflies and heartwarming feels. You also will be craving all the delicious baked goods. The third act conflict for sure had me tearing up because I was all in on the emotional connection with these two. This book really delivered on all fronts- sweet and swoony romance with some great spicy scenes throughout. I recommend this for fans of fake dating/teaching tropes and my fellow small town girlies out there. Run and download this one immediately!

If you like small town stories with some of the most sensual romantic scenes I’ve ever read, then the Lovelight Farm series should be added to your TBR pile.
Mixed Signals is another wonderful and romantic book by B. K. Borison. I’ve really enjoyed the Lovelight Farms series. Borison really takes her time with the characters. They’re always perfectly paired, even when they don’t know it. Their relationships — both platonic and romantic — carry though the entire series and ties everything together nicely.
In this book specifically, Layla and Caleb partake in one of my favourite tropes — fake dating. During this “fake” relationship they of course fall in love because they’re able to be their true selves with each other. The no-strings-attached “fake” relationship gives them the chance to get to know each other like they’ve never known anyone else before.
I think I’ve said it in previous reviews for this series, but the romantic scenes in these books have been so sensual and beautifully written! All three books have been unlike most other contemporary romance novels I’ve read, and I mean that in the best way possible. They’re sexy and tender and attentive and realistic.
Again, all the characters in this series have been wonderful and I cannot recommend these books enough. I need them made into movies or a mini series so I can fall in love with them all over again.

As someone who has struggled to believe myself worthy of love (literally just went through this with my boyfriend), I related to Layla so hard. The self doubt, how men have never treated you right so now you’re starting to believe you’re the problem and not worthy of it. So the second act conflict, though I normally am not a fan of them, made so much sense to me personally because me and my boyfriend literally walked out almost the exact same thing last year (walking through my self doubt and him being patient with)
I love Layla and Caleb so much, loved this book so much!
