Book Review | Lovelight Farm Series by B.K. Borison

Summary: Lovelight Farms: A pasture of dead trees. A hostile takeover of the Santa barn by a family of raccoons. And shipments that have mysteriously gone missing. Lovelight Farms is not the magical winter wonderland of Stella Bloom’s dreams. In an effort to save the Christmas tree farm she’s loved since she was a kid, she enters a contest with instafamous influencer Evelyn St. James. With the added publicity and the $100,000 cash prize, she might just be able to save the farm from its financial woes. There’s just one problem. To make the farm seem like a romantic destination for the holidays, she lied on the application and said she owns Lovelight Farms with her boyfriend. Only … there is no boyfriend. Enter best friend Luka Peters. He just came home for some hot chocolate, and somehow got a farm and a serious girlfriend in the process.

In The Weeds: Evelyn St. James isn’t the kind of woman you forget. Beckett Porter certainly hasn’t. One incredible weekend in Maine, and he’s officially a man distracted. He’s not unfamiliar with hot and heavy flings. He knows how it goes. But Evie wove some sort of magic over him during their tumble in the sheets. He can’t stop thinking about her laugh. Her hand pressed flat against his chest. Her smiling mouth at his neck. Also, her eyes. And her legs. So when she suddenly appears on his farm as part of a social media contest, he is … confused. He had no idea that the sweet and sexy woman he met at a bar is actually a global phenomenon: social media influencer Evelyn St. James. When she disappears again, Beckett resolves to finally forget her and move on.

Mixed Signals: Layla Dupree has given up on love. She’s waded through all of the fish in the sea, each one more disappointing than the last. Apparently owning the bakery at Inglewild’s most romantic destination does not help one’s love life-despite her best efforts. All she wants is a partner who gives her butterflies, not someone who ghosts her at dinner and leaves her with the check. Good thing Caleb Alvarez has the perfect solution. After saving Layla from another date gone bad, he has a simple proposition: One month of no-strings dating. He’ll do his best to renew her faith in men while she rates his dating game. It’s a win-win situation. All the benefits of dating, without the added pressure of feelings and unmet expectations.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐1/2

My Thoughts: I absolutely loved this series. I read Lovelight Farms because it’s a holiday romance, but then I absolutely had to continue and finish all three of them.

I think my favorite relationship was Caleb and Layla. They didn’t have any history when they started their arrangement, so it was all new and I liked that. However; my favorite main male character was definitely Beckett. He’s all quite and broody, but beneath that he rescues literally every animal that needs saving. Be still my heart.

All of the couples in these books were great, though. So much love, albeit a lot of misunderstandings. But, I guess they wouldn’t be as good without a little heartache in there.

I wish Lovelight Farms was real. I want to visit. I want to see the Christmas trees covered in snow and do some ice skating. The fictional small town in these books is perfect and I want to live there.
