Hey ForeverBookers,
How are you all? I hope you’re well!
I’ve just finished Lovelight Farms by BK Borrson and I enjoyed it. It has a really simple plot and lots of feelings.
3 Stars!
We follow our FMC, Stella, who’s basically waiting on a woman turning up to her holiday vacation place to rate it. She wants to win the main prize, which is money so she afford to keep running her vacation place, Lovelight Farms. To do this she lied and told this woman that she was in love with Luca, a hand on the farm…does she love Luca, and does Luca love her? I’ll let you read for yourself but let’s just say it’s not an easy answer for one of them!
There are sex scenes in Lovelight Farms, so if you’re under 18 don’t read this!

“We should probably practice.” It’s something I’ve been thinking about since our walk through town. Given my reaction to his hand on my neck and his palm on my thigh, I think I need a little bit more exposure before Evelyn is here. I don’t trust myself not to squeak every time Luka kisses my neck.
“Practice what?” Luca is unconcerned, his hands relaxed on the steering wheel, thumb curled along the bottom curve.
“Being a couple.”
A couple that touches each other. Kisses each other.”
This is where the main plot of the book is revealed, at least to Luka, our MMC. He’s not entirely sure what he’s signed up for at this point, but goes along with it!
A lot later in the plot we get, “can I—“ He swallows around the rest of his question, voice rough, distracted with the length of my collarbone and his teeth against it. “Can I touch you?”
I’m nodding before the last word leaves his lips. I don’t care that it makes me seem eager. This is Luka. He’s already seen all the messy parts of me.
Except for this one. This piece of myself that is flushed and panting as his big hands find the waistband of my leggings.” - 185
This is the start of an erotic scene in Lovelight Farms. I thought the author did a good job of keeping the romance and smut but in a cleanish way. Yes, it was there but I didn’t feel as if it was pushed in my face like so many authors like to do these days. It was tentative too. I appreciated Luca asking for permission, as so many boys don’t do nowadays in reality or in books!
There is a little bit of business talk but not much at all. This is a romance book first and foremost. The business parts work the plot portion of the book which is very low in comparison to the feelings.
Overall, Lovelight Farms was a quick and easy read for me to get through. I enjoyed it but didn’t absolutely love it, like I expected to. There was just something missing for me. I don’t know what it was, to be honest. I liked our two main characters. It was just a little too perfect and predictable, I guess. I own the other books in the Lovelight Farms series so I’ll see what I think when I read them. The next book follows one of the side characters from this book, Beckett. I’ll read the next one sometime next spring!
