Christmas Book Review – Lovelight Farms (Lovelight #1)

Lovelight Farms is a wholesome rom-com featuring a handsome, freckled data analyst, a messy, optimistic Christmas tree farm owner, and a small town with the best hazelnut lattes on the east coast. This sweet and steamy romance is a holiday happily ever after for fans of Tessa Bailey and Hannah Grace from TikTok favourite author, B. K. Borison.

With the added publicity and the huge cash prize, she might just be able to save the farm from its financial woes. There’s just one problem. To make the farm seem like a romantic destination for the holidays, she lied on the application and said that she owns Lovelight Farms with her boyfriend. Only. . .there is no boyfriend.

Enter best friend Luka Peters. He just came home for some hot chocolate, and somehow got a farm and a serious relationship in the process.

Lovelight Farms is the first book in a seasonally-inspired quartet of cosy romances following four friends finding love in the small town of Inglewild.

If you are into cozy small town romance with a holiday setting, then this book is for you. This is the first book of the Lovelight series, featuring Stella who is the owner of the Christmas farm.

Stella is in heaps of debt. Someone or something is destroying her farm, causing her to lose so much, her shipments stopped arriving and now Stella feels that if she doesn’t solve her debt issue quickly, she might had to close down the farm. A social media influencer, Evelyn is hosting a competition for the couples owning small businesses, with a cash prize. Stella wants to enter into the competition but she is single. So she enlist her long time best friend Luka to be her fake boyfriend and while they pretend they were dating, they realize that they were actually having feeling for each other.

This book was a TikTok sensation and I might say, I actually enjoyed this book. Reading this book actually gave me a vibe that I am also in a small town in Delaware and that the holiday season in the air made this whole book great. I really like the chemistry between Stella and Luka and really wanted the two to date. I also like the dynamic of friendship between Stella, Layla and Beckett. The writing was really great and the whole story is written in Stella’s POV although there is a bonus chapter in the end where you can get to read one chapter in Luka’s POV as well. The characters in this book were all likable in my opinion and I honestly thought the whole story line is really adorable. Overall this book worth four stars!
