Maybe it\u2019s his charm? Or maybe it\u2019s his determination to help her fledgling business however he can. Either way, she\u2019s distracted every time he\u2019s around. With her new tattoo studio set to open in her hometown of Inglewild, she doesn\u2019t have time for frivolous flirtations.\u00a0<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">In an effort to get Charlie out of her system once and for all, Nova offers a proposition. One night. No strings. They\u2019ll kick their uncomfortable attraction to the curb and return to their respective responsibilities.\u00a0But their explosive night together scatters their expectations like fallen leaves. And with Charlie in town as the temporary head of Lovelight Farms, Nova can\u2019t quite avoid him.\u00a0<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">And Charlie? Well, Charlie knows a good investment when he sees one. He\u2019s hoping he can convince Nova he\u2019s worth some of her time.<\/span><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col3-2 tb_2xgw342 last\">\n                                                        <div class=\"tb-column-inner tf_box tf_w\">\n                        <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_soar342  repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-25881 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/smitten-recommends-banner-1.png?resize=296%2C72\" alt=\"\" width=\"296\" height=\"72\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> Jul 16, 2024<br \/><strong>Series:<\/strong>\u00a0<em>Lovelight<br \/><\/em><strong>Book:\u00a0<\/strong>4<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Sensual<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0Penguin Group<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong>\u00a0Berkley\u00a0<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $10.99<\/p><hr \/><p>\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Nova<\/strong> and <strong>Charlie<\/strong> know each other through Stella. He is an investment banker in the city who likes the lifestyle it affords him. While on their one-month honeymoon, Charlie is in town covering at Lovelight Farms. He can not help but run into Nova everywhere he goes. He teases her and flirts shamelessly in hopes of catching her attention.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nova is not interested in a romantic relationship. She did want a one-night stand with Charlie and offered it during Stella\u2019s reception, but he didn\u2019t catch on, which left things a bit awkward for a moment. They get back on track to their friendship, and the emotions are still very strong. The banter is hilarious. I like Charlie&#8217;s cheeky, flirtatious vibe.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nova decides she doesn\u2019t want to continue playing games and proposes a one-night stand. This time, Charlie is on board. The problem is that one night can\u2019t satisfy either one of their desires. Can their friendship survive the outcome of any romantic involvement?<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I like the bold differences between Charlie and Nova. He is this straight-laced city guy placed in this small town. She is a bit harder with tats and an interesting family dynamic, but they fit. Initially, I thought Charlie had more interest in Nova than Chalie, but after a while, I realized that Nova secretly liked the fact that Charlie constantly flirted with her and showed her some affection. I love that she finally left her guard down and gave him validation to help with his insecurities.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I love the small town and all the characters. As the series winds down, more of the old characters are visible in each book. I love catching up on old characters and wish we get more of Lovelight Farms in the future.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Overall, fans of the<em> Lovelight Farms<\/em> series and contemporary romance will enjoy this story.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_9shm342 customBorderRad repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3WIs4M0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/46qG8Ne\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">iBooks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/business-casual-bk-borison\/1144121771?ean=9780593641187\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/business-casual-6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Kobo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/B_K_Borison_Business_Casual?id=OwTZEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Google Play<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            \t    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t<\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two opposites decide to test their chemistry with one steamy night together.

But will once be enough?<\/strong><\/em><br \/><br \/>Nova Porter isn\u2019t 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\u2019s his charm? Or maybe it\u2019s his determination to help her fledgling business however he can. Either way, she\u2019s distracted every time he\u2019s around. With her new tattoo studio set to open in her hometown of Inglewild, she doesn\u2019t have time for frivolous flirtations.\u00a0<br \/><br \/>In an effort to get Charlie out of her system once and for all, Nova offers a proposition. One night. No strings. They\u2019ll kick their uncomfortable attraction to the curb and return to their respective responsibilities.\u00a0But their explosive night together scatters their expectations like fallen leaves. And with Charlie in town as the temporary head of Lovelight Farms, Nova can\u2019t quite avoid him.\u00a0<br \/><br \/>And Charlie? Well, Charlie knows a good investment when he sees one. He\u2019s hoping he can convince Nova he\u2019s worth some of her time.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/smitten-recommends-banner-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"296\" height=\"72\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> Jul 16, 2024<br \/><strong>Series:<\/strong>\u00a0<em>Lovelight<br \/><\/em><strong>Book:\u00a0<\/strong>4<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Sensual<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0Penguin Group<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong>\u00a0Berkley\u00a0<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $10.99<\/p><hr \/><p>\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Nova<\/strong> and <strong>Charlie<\/strong> know each other through Stella. He is an investment banker in the city who likes the lifestyle it affords him. While on their one-month honeymoon, Charlie is in town covering at Lovelight Farms. He can not help but run into Nova everywhere he goes. He teases her and flirts shamelessly in hopes of catching her attention.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nova is not interested in a romantic relationship. She did want a one-night stand with Charlie and offered it during Stella\u2019s reception, but he didn\u2019t catch on, which left things a bit awkward for a moment. They get back on track to their friendship, and the emotions are still very strong. The banter is hilarious. I like Charlie's cheeky, flirtatious vibe.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nova decides she doesn\u2019t want to continue playing games and proposes a one-night stand. This time, Charlie is on board. The problem is that one night can\u2019t satisfy either one of their desires. Can their friendship survive the outcome of any romantic involvement?<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I like the bold differences between Charlie and Nova. He is this straight-laced city guy placed in this small town. She is a bit harder with tats and an interesting family dynamic, but they fit. Initially, I thought Charlie had more interest in Nova than Chalie, but after a while, I realized that Nova secretly liked the fact that Charlie constantly flirted with her and showed her some affection. I love that she finally left her guard down and gave him validation to help with his insecurities.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I love the small town and all the characters. As the series winds down, more of the old characters are visible in each book. I love catching up on old characters and wish we get more of Lovelight Farms in the future.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Overall, fans of the<em> Lovelight Farms<\/em> series and contemporary romance will enjoy this story.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3WIs4M0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/46qG8Ne\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/business-casual-bk-borison\/1144121771?ean=9780593641187\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/business-casual-6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/B_K_Borison_Business_Casual?id=OwTZEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31393","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31393"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31393\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31400,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31393\/revisions\/31400"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31394"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31393"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31393"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31393"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
