My
Thoughts:
Nova Porter and Charlie Milford don’t have time for a
relationship, but a one-night stand with someone you’ve been flirting with for
months isn’t something either can resist! However, Nova doesn’t realize Charlie
is staying for the month to help farm-sit while Stella and Luca are on their
honeymoon. It’s impossible to restrict their attraction to one-night only.
I adored both Charlie and Nova! He was sweet, silly, and so
caring! Nova was also caring, striving to get her business off the ground, not
only for herself, but to prove to Beckett (her older brother) his sacrifices
weren’t in vain. I loved their flirty banter, texts and sexy encounters!
Business Casual was like a Hallmark Movie with spice! Lots
of well-done spice! So thankful there was no third act breakup!
B.K. Borison’s writing is beautiful, vividly bringing every
gorgeous detail to life: the setting of Idlewild and Lovelight Farms, trees,
flowers, the bakeshop; I wanted to visit and soak up all the beauty! It sounds
so picturesque!
I alternately listened to and read an e-copy of Business Casual and recommend either version. Pippa Jayne has a lush, dreamy voice, and Benjamin D. Walker's voice brought out Charlie's personality perfectly. I enjoyed how they alternately performed the back-and-forth text messages, too!

Book Description:
Two opposites decide to test their chemistry with one steamy night together. But will once be enough?
Nova Porter isn’t looking for love, and she certainly has no explanation for her attraction to buttoned-up, three-piece-suit-wearing investment banker Charlie Milford. Maybe it’s his charm? Or maybe it’s his determination to help her fledgling business however he can. Either way, she’s distracted every time he’s around. With her new tattoo studio set to open in her hometown of Inglewild, she doesn’t have time for frivolous flirtations.
In an effort to get Charlie out of her system once and for all, Nova offers a proposition. One night. No strings. They’ll kick their uncomfortable attraction to the curb and return to their respective responsibilities. But their explosive night together scatters their expectations like fallen leaves. And with Charlie in town as the temporary head of Lovelight Farms, Nova can’t quite avoid him.
And Charlie? Well, Charlie knows a good investment when he sees one. He’s hoping he can convince Nova he’s worth some of her time.

DeleteI have seen so many raves for this (companion?) series! I love the way you describe it as a Hallmark movie with spice. :) That sounds right up my alley.
ReplyDeleteI think you'd enjoy this series, Tanya. :)
DeleteWent horseback riding on the beach.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds wonderful!
DeleteI really like this series and am looking forward to reading this one to get to know Nova and Charlie. I hope it isn't too spicy for me. Wonderful review, Rachel.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy it, Carla. It is on the spicy side. I just skim if it's too much for me. Thank you!
DeleteI'm listening to the third one right now, and am loving it except for the third act break up. So, I'm glad this one won't have that. I'm waiting till fall to listen to it too, since it is kind of that season for the theme. Great review!

Yeah, I think the 3rd act breakup in that last one annoyed me, too. I think you'll enjoy this one!
