I saw this on Libby, and thought it would be a fun, fluffy holiday romance to read right before Christmas.
"Lovelight Farms" follows Stella, a woman who owns a Christmas tree farm. Stella wants, and needs, desperately to win Evelyn St. James's contest because she has almost driven her business into the ground. But, she will not let her employees down. Unfortunately, when she applied for the contest, she said that she owned the farm with her boyfriend. Now, she has to pretend to date her best friend, Luka, who she is actually in love with.
When I started this book, I was expecting a fluffy romance that felt like a Christmas Hallmark movie, and that is exactly what I got. This book was sweet, slightly comical, and filled with warmth.
Stella and Luka have been best friends for years, and it was really satisfying for them both to realize how much they each care for each other as more than friends. The friends to lovers trope worked really well here because they truly were best friends for years before they started dating, and their relationship just makes sense.
I do not think this book did anything super special, but I think it was enjoyable, and I was definitely rooting for Stella and Luka from page one.
This story was exactly what I wanted to read the week before Christmas.
