Marie's Review: Lovelight Farms (Lovelight #1) by B.K. Borison

 

About the Book

Two best friends fake date to reach their holiday happily ever after in this first romantic comedy in the Lovelight series.

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, Stella enters a contest with Instagram-famous influencer Evelyn St. James. With the added publicity and the $100,000 cash prize, Stella 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 her application and said she owns Lovelight Farms with her boyfriend. Only…there is no boyfriend.

Enter best friend Luka Peters. He just stopped by for some hot chocolate and somehow got a farm and a serious girlfriend in the process. But fake dating his best friend might be the best Christmas present he’s ever received.

Marie's Thoughts


There is nothing better in the middle of summer than a nice holiday romance. Especially when it has all the feels of a perfectly warm Hallmark movie. Lovelight Farms is that kind of romance. It has small town charm, great secondary characters, and a friends-to-lovers story that is sweet, a little steamy, and oh so satisfying.

I read this book in one sitting, finding myself laughing, sharing each character’s frustration, angst, lust, and love. Stella is a very likeable lead. She is an independent, determined young lady that constantly makes sacrifices for the people she loves. Very seldom does she do things for herself, let alone believe she deserves the good things that happen to her. Her friends are hysterical and play off of her personality beautifully, and then there’s Luka. Her best friend in the world. He’s cute, charming, and clearly in love with Stella. At first, I was worried he wasn’t going to be a character that I really cared for, but as the story went on, it was so easy to fall in love with him. He would do literally anything for Stella and that’s part of what makes this story so enchanting.

Clearly when a book is touted as a friends-to-lovers story, you know the characters will wind up together. But the fun part of Lovelight Farms was the journey for Stella and Luka to get there. I’m so glad I took the time to visit Lovelight Farms and all of the holiday fun it held.
