Mixed Signals (The Lovelight Series)

Product Information

Many thanks to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing for sharing this lovely book's digital reviewer copy with me in exchange for my honest opinions. Caleb's family were mostly supportive and amazing, but also sometimes hurtful in trying to caution him since the arrangement is intended to be temporary. I'll probably go back and listen to book 2 if I can find it on Libby so I can see what Beckett and Evie have to offer. Arrangement or no, everything I’ve felt with you, everything I’ve said to you—” He shakes his head slightly, that smile finally tripping from his eyes to the curve of his cheeks. I really liked Layla's character and her insecurities about having a relationship and owning her own business.

But ultimately it was up to her to give him the green light, to make things right, make that move forward. And she didn’t really think of him in that way until she ran into him at a restaurant away from their small town when she was on a failed date.After saving Layla from a bad date, Caleb makes Layla a proposition: they will 'date' for one month! I finish signing the check and follow her line of sight straight to the man effortlessly moving through the crowded tables clustered together on the beach. I obey traffic laws and donate to that one charity for three-legged goats that Beckett quite literally never shuts up about. Both of them are tired of dating and don't know why they fail at it so much, so they decide to practice date each other to see where they're going wrong, and they fall in love in the process.

After saving Layla from another date gone bad, he has a simple proposition: One month of no-strings dating. A small-town baker learns to raise her expectations for love with some help from a handsome local teacher in this sunny romantic comedy. The whole lovelight series is just chief's kiss, the kind of romance you remember because of how it made you feel.Working at Lovelight Farms is the best part of my day, and being able to go to work with my two best friends is icing on the proverbial cake. I want to sit on the couch with someone in blissful, perfect, comfortable silence-pizza on the coffee table and my feet tucked under their thigh. The characterization is perfect, the attraction and chemistry are palpable, and the lovemaking scenes show how much the couple cares for each other. Now plotwise, the plot was what bothered me the most in this book, but I think this has mostly to do with the plots just not being for me. He's wearing a colorful Hawaiian shirt that should be ridiculous, but with the top three buttons undone, I can only focus on the jut of his collarbones, the material of the sleeves clinging to the curve of his biceps.

At that without having any education or degree to be a teacher or anything like that, the job just changes like "that". He probably thinks he looks charming sitting there like that, all lazy and loose in his seat, his knuckles beneath his chin.As a professional baker I was really looking forward to main character Layla Dupree’s book, Mixed Signals. I absolutely ADORED her connection with Caleb, from the Hawaiian shirt through their dates, and even her confused feelings (they broke my heart, but I understood her as a character, so I never felt like the conflict was forced). But as we readers have seen from the first book, there's someone in town who has clearly had a crush on the lovely Layla for quite a while, and once she finally notices him, they start a no-strings-attached dating experiment. I don't get a good look at his face because he's busy looking over his shoulder at the group he just wandered away from, shouting something with a laugh. He has harbored a growing crush on her for a WHILE, and finally a chance meeting at a bar far outside their small town's city limits she starts to see him differently.
