B.K. Borison

Two opposites will find out if one night together is enough to get each other out of their systems in the final book in the beloved Lovelight series. Nova Porter isn’t looking for love, and she certainly has no explanation for her attraction to buttoned-up, three-piece-suit-wearing investment banker Charlie Milford. Maybe it’s his charm? Or maybe it’s his determination to help her fledgling business however he can. Either way, she’s distracted every time he’s around. With her new tattoo studio set to open in her hometown of Inglewild, she doesn’t have time for frivolous flirtations. In an effort to get Charlie out of her system once and for all, Nova offers a proposition. One night. No strings. They’ll kick their uncomfortable attraction to the curb and return to their respective responsibilities. But their explosive night together scatters their expectations like fallen leaves. And with Charlie in town as the temporary head of Lovelight Farms, Nova can’t quite avoid him. And Charlie? Well, Charlie knows a good investment when he sees one. He’s hoping he can convince Nova he’s worth some of her time.

I’m so sad that this is the end of this series. I still want more of these characters, of Inglewild, and just the vibe this series gives. I laugh out loud reading this book, I fall in love with the town and characters main and side. Just every part of this series has been amazing. There are characters I still want more of. Charlie and Nova while they weren’t my favorite book in the series I love them just the same. There story was so good and I love how it progressed while I’m sad it ended was a really good book to end it out with.

Borison knows how to write humor and angst and fluff and spice all wrapped up in one pretty package. I loved the MCs banter/flirting but I also loved their deep/important conversations. Some of the lines hit real close to home. 

I liked it overall, but the plot fell a little flat for me where her other books didn’t. What I did really appreciate was getting to fall in love with Beckett all over again!

this was one of my anticipated release this year and i am disappointed because that was all? they've been flirting for so long then suddenly want to fuck each other, had one night stand then became fuck buddies then realized they can't keep it casual then fell in love and that's all. mcs were so bland. yes, charlie was this and that. nova, was this and that. barely showing of this and that. their relationship lack build up and no tension at all. i barely get kilig even during the flirting stage until they get together. it felt like the author just decided to not put efforts on this book anymore since the first books already established this series at the book community. i'm sorry charlie and nova, your author didn't gave you justice. she lost the pen after the third book and lovelight farm ended in mixed signals.

I’ve been waiting so long for Charlie and Nova and they didn’t disappoint!!! 

I love them so so much 😭😭 They’re so cute I can’t breathe.

Oh how much I enjoyed it, there was a moment when I even thought it would be a five-star read for me, which unfortunately did not happen, but it doesn't change the fact that I had a really good time reading it. I have over a hundred and fifty highlights and over a hundred notes. I think that says enough how much I enjoyed it. And these are not notes in which I complain about something, no no no, these are notes in which I either scream or write how much I love our hero, like here for example: "GOD HE IS PERFECTTTTTTTTT", "God i needd him", "Omg im cryingggggg". These are the less embarrassing examples obviously, as I'm too scared of the digital footprint to add my not PG13 notes. I'm probably in the minority of people who have never read any book in this series and started with the last one, but surprisingly I had no problem with the side characters, as each of them was introduced in such a way that it was easy for me to remember who was who. 
 
Business Casual is about Nova and Charlie, Charlie - our golden retriever hero who works for a wealthy investment firm in New York, has a penchant for three-piece suits and wristwatches that cost as much as most of the characters' rent here, and who has been shamelessly flirting with his friend Nova for ages, and Nova - our grumpy character who owns the only female-owned and female-operated tattoo shop on the East Coast, and who like Charlie, is not interested in relationships. Or at least it was like that until they both decided on one night together to get each other out of their systems, which didn't exactly end the way they planned as one night turned into several with an ending they never planned.

Honestly, I loved both of our main characters. I could relate to both of them, which in some situations hit close to home, sometimes even too close, but for this reason this book will definitely be among my favorite stories this year because it will be hard for me to forget about it. They both struggle with different things, and they both healed together, learning that they needed each other more than they thought. One night stand books are not something I usually reach for because I feel like the bond between the main characters is usually built on lust, but here you could just feel that Nova and Charlie truly loved each other and their bond, instead of being based on lust, was based on friendship and trust in each other. 


  
    "His eyes drag up to meet mine, red rimmed but bright. Forget-me-not blue. 
“I’ve never been anyone’s favorite,” he whispers. 
“Well,” I say, feeling defensive. “You’re mine."
  


One of my favorite dynamics in books is the hero who is clearly obsessed with the heroine and shamelessly flirts with her at every opportunity, and the grumpy heroine who wants nothing to do with him, although secretly likes it, but in the end she gives up and gives him a chance, which turns out to be one of her better decisions. So it was hard for me not to like this book as Nova and Charlie basically had the same dynamic. Charlie boy had it bad and had not problem showing it. 


  
    "She looks like she could eat me alive. I fucking love it."
  



  
    "I always get the feeling Nova wants to crack open my head and take a look around. I’d probably let her and thank her for the pleasure."

It was basically them.


  
    "his gaze back to me, his eyes tracing my face like I’m something precious. Like I’m something he can’t believe he gets to keep. “I don’t think I’ve ever been this happy in my life, Nova girl.” He says it in a whisper. Like a secret. 
I drop my mouth to his and make it a promise. “Me too."
  

 ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 


  
    "He finishes climbing around Alex and grabs the only available seat in the tiny room. It screeches as he drags it across the floor, right next to me."
  



  
    "Could I take your name?” he finally asks. His Adam’s apple bobs in his throat with a heavy swallow. 
“When we get married, I mean. Could I—could I be a Porter?” 
I have to take a second to breathe through the pinch in my chest. 
“Is that something you want?” 
He nods."

Charlie was so much my type that I felt like the author went inside my brain, find out all the things I love in men, and decided to create Charlie out of it. Seriously. He was rich, tall, loved his family and did everything for them, he was honest and not afraid to cry, he was obsessed and worshiped his woman, was full of respect and responsibility, and a million million other traits that made me simply love him and put him in my "favorite hero" folder. 


I didn't plan to write a long review, but I couldn't stop writing and it turned out the way it did. This was my first book in the Lovelight series and it definitely won't be the last, even though this book is the last in the series. Don't ask me why I read from the end, I'd like to know myself. Anyway, if you want to read a book with golden retriever rich hero and grumpy tattoo artist heroine, opposites attract, flirting as a love language, "just once to get it out of our systems" turns out "oh sh*t, it's not getting out of our systems", run and add it to your tbr!
