Seriously, I have found my favorite holiday romance and perhaps one of my favorite books of the year. Lovelight Farms has everything I love—fake dating; friends to lovers; a beautiful small town full of memorable, special supporting characters; a little family drama; and even some steam.
Stella is the owner of a Christmas tree farm that has been struggling lately. When she enters a contest run by a famed Instagram influencer (the contest also comes with a $100,000 prize), she mentions she owns the farm with her boyfriend—because she thought it would sound more romantic. But when she becomes a finalist, the woman is planning to come to the farm, so where is Stella going to get a boyfriend?
Enter Luka, Stella’s best friend for what seems like forever. He agrees to pretend to be her boyfriend—but of course, they have to “practice” so it seems more natural, right? Little do they know the whole town has been rooting for them to get together. And, of course, what happens when the feelings are more intense than pretend?
“It’s hard to love someone without restraint. To give yourself over to the swell and pull of it without fear of what might happen. I think it’s only natural to hold a part of yourself back and protect what you can.”
Lovelight Farms is a debut novel and the start of a series, as the next books will focus on the supporting characters. Thanks to my Bookstagram friend Laura for putting this book on my radar!
