Lovelight Farms

4.75/5

Wow. Holy shit. I've been waiting to read this book and I'm so happy that I wasn't disappointed. It was so good.

First of all, I love Stella and Luka. They're amazing. Stella is so messy (me) while Luka is a perfectionist but he never, NEVER holds it against her and wants her to change. He simply straightens her shoes. And folds her clothes. And cooks her dinner (oh my god, is there anything sexier than a man who cooks you dinner and dances with you in the kitchen??). And he loves her with all his being. Oh my God, I'm swooning just thinking about them. I mean he couldn't sleep thinking of her, so he drove 4 hours just to get to her house in the middle of the night. Amazing.

They were so lovely together. They just fit. And I really loved how close they were and despite all they still remained the best of friends.

For a fake dating book, there wasn't much fake dating involved and I loved it. They're just so in love, everything was so natural, nothing was forced or awkward. I loved how gradual and yet immediate it all was, but not sudden. And not weird. Just perfect.

I also loved Lyla and Beckett (a hunk of a tattooed man who loves cats? SIGN ME UP), as well as Mabel and Dane. I just loved the entire community, even if they love to gossip lol. Lyla was so sweet (and I really want to eat everything she makes) and Beckett was so amazing, I loved how much they supported Stella (and Luka) and the farm. And how much they helped her once they learned the truth.

I loved the Evelyn reveal - both of them, with Beckett and the videos. It was so well done and Stella really needed this push lol. And now I'm very interested in another story in the series. I loved this one.

The only thing I didn't like (which is why it's not 5 stars) is the lack of Luka's pov until the very end and how much in denial Stella was there at the end (though thankfully it wasn't for long). I would have loved more chapters from Luka's perspective throughout the book. But I loved what we got and this was such a good book, I won't shut up about it for sure.
