This book is definitely my favorite of the series! I just adored Caleb and Layla, individually and as a couple. Caleb feeling like too much? Very relatable. Layla feeling like she isn’t deserving of deep love and kindness? Also relatable. You immediately find yourself rooting for them. Caleb is the sweetest and is extremely supportive. He will have you swooning while you read. You’ll get the butterflies and heartwarming feels. You also will be craving all the delicious baked goods. The third act conflict for sure had me tearing up because I was all in on the emotional connection with these two. This book really delivered on all fronts- sweet and swoony romance with some great spicy scenes throughout. I recommend this for fans of fake dating/teaching tropes and my fellow small town girlies out there. Run and download this one immediately!

If you like small town stories with some of the most sensual romantic scenes I’ve ever read, then the Lovelight Farm series should be added to your TBR pile.
Mixed Signals is another wonderful and romantic book by B. K. Borison. I’ve really enjoyed the Lovelight Farms series. Borison really takes her time with the characters. They’re always perfectly paired, even when they don’t know it. Their relationships — both platonic and romantic — carry though the entire series and ties everything together nicely.
In this book specifically, Layla and Caleb partake in one of my favourite tropes — fake dating. During this “fake” relationship they of course fall in love because they’re able to be their true selves with each other. The no-strings-attached “fake” relationship gives them the chance to get to know each other like they’ve never known anyone else before.
I think I’ve said it in previous reviews for this series, but the romantic scenes in these books have been so sensual and beautifully written! All three books have been unlike most other contemporary romance novels I’ve read, and I mean that in the best way possible. They’re sexy and tender and attentive and realistic.
Again, all the characters in this series have been wonderful and I cannot recommend these books enough. I need them made into movies or a mini series so I can fall in love with them all over again.

As someone who has struggled to believe myself worthy of love (literally just went through this with my boyfriend), I related to Layla so hard. The self doubt, how men have never treated you right so now you’re starting to believe you’re the problem and not worthy of it. So the second act conflict, though I normally am not a fan of them, made so much sense to me personally because me and my boyfriend literally walked out almost the exact same thing last year (walking through my self doubt and him being patient with)
I love Layla and Caleb so much, loved this book so much!
