Admittedly I may just be kinda sick of this genre at this point but I can't get over how profoundly stupid "the power went out for a few hours overnight and all the baked goods (including scones???) in the closed fridge immediately went bad" is as a plot point. Hate that that's my whole takeaway from this book but there you go.

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!

Super cute fake dating story.
So fun to get Layla's story. I went in blind and didn't realize it was going to be fake dating and was pleasantly surprised how it all played out. I love how the arrangement helped them both lighten up.
Loved seeing more into both of their lives too. Layla's work at her bakehouse is so intriguing and I love her passion for her work. Also, as a former high school Spanish teacher it was fun to read about Caleb's students. I love how good he was with them. I also loved Caleb's family. They were a perfectly written latina family.
But seeing these two together was the most fun. Their compatibility was incredible. I love how perfectly they fit together. And while it didn't get spicy super fast,when it did it was hot! Loved seeing that side of Caleb.
This book was excellent on audio just like books 1 and 2 were. Really enjoyed it and am looking forward to book 4.

Oh my god, what a good book three in this series (I was going to say final book, but there’s gonna be a fourth one I am on my knees for the next one oh my god).
I really enjoyed this book in the Lovelight Farms stand-alone/interconnected books and it was absolutely amazing. It wasn’t as spicy as the other two but that was okay because it didn’t need the extra spice to make it a good book!

I loved this book. We get to read so many dates and conversations between the main characters, and watch them fall in love. Caleb is now one of my favorite main male characters. The slow burn really burned, and the steam, and that last sentence... LOVED it.
