My
Thoughts:
Layla has had to watch as her two good friends, Stella and
Beckett have found love, and while she’s happy for them, she’d like her chance
to find someone special, someone who will cherish her. However, her dating history
has left a lot to be desired! Things are about to change when she runs into
Caleb Alvarez after a date-gone-bad and he takes her home.
Caleb’s dating history has also been less than stellar, so
he suggests they date each other. He’s been crushing on Layla from afar, but
somehow his suggestion is taken as an experiment in dating rather than the
truth that Caleb has always wanted a chance with Layla.
I’ve really enjoyed all three Lovelight romances, but Mixed
Signals is my favorite to date in the series! There was just something so
lovely about this couple and the drama was minimal. Layla and Caleb’s chemistry
was palpable. Theirs dates fun and hilarious!
As with the first two books, B.K. Borison’s writing was beautiful
and gave the story a dreamy quality! I felt like I absorbed every sight, sound,
and scent! I was happy to catch up with Stella and Luca and Beckett and Evie. I
love how they were so ready to jump in and help or slash a tire (a task Stella
was all too eager for, lol) if needed! I’m so in love with Beckett’s utter
failure to resist adopting any animal in need!
I alternately read and listened to an audio copy. Pippa
Jayne’s voice is soft and rich, perfect for this series! Julio Maxwell was wonderful
as Caleb. I listened at 1.75x normal speed. A definite recommend!

Book Description:
A small-town baker learns to raise her expectations for love with some help from a handsome local teacher in this sunny romantic comedy.
Layla Dupree has given up on love. She’s waded through all the fish in the sea, each one more disappointing than the last. Apparently, owning the bakery at Inglewild’s most romantic destination does not help one’s love life—despite Layla’s best efforts. All she wants is a partner who gives her butterflies, not someone who ghosts her at dinner and leaves her with the check.
Good thing Caleb Alvarez has the perfect solution. After saving Layla from another date gone bad, he has a simple one month of no-strings dating. He’ll do his best to renew her faith in men while she rates his romantic game. It’s a win-win situation. All the benefits of dating without the added pressure of feelings and unmet expectations.
But there’s one ingredient they haven’t considered. The chemistry between them is red-hot, and the urge to take things to the next level is more tempting than Layla’s mocha fudge brownies.
