I think we can all agree that BK Borison is great at what she does: swoony contemporary romances with heart and spice and all the feels. And it started all the way back with her debut, Lovelight Farms. If you’re a romance reader and haven’t read BK Borison yet, literally what are you doing. STOP, pick this up, and begin your education on what an excellent contemporary romance can be.
To be honest, I did not fall for this book the first time I read it. There is a bit of a mystery storyline that distracts from the angsty longing that cracks and sparkles between Luca and Stella which is the real star of the show.
These two ran into each other years ago and became fast friends. He lives in New York though, which is close enough to visit often, but a little unrealistic for a serious intimate relationship. Besides, Stella has abandonment issues that keep her from being outright with her feelings. Now though, she’s in a pinch. She’s told a social media influencer she owns her Christmas tree farm with her true love to pump up their story and win the contest she desperately needs to win to stay afloat. Trouble is, she and Luca have only ever been friends, and now she has to tell him what she did so that he can play along. What could go wrong? It’s just acting, right?
This is the perfect time of year to pick up this book. It’s about a Christmas tree farm. They’re always buying each other coffees. It’s a small town. It’s cozy as hell. But that’s just the ambiance. To me, the romance is everything and the friends to more trajectory is just so achingly sweet. Stella and Luca absolutely won me over, and look at that stinkin’ cute cover!
If you find yourself here in holiday season 2025 and still haven’t read this book, seriously, add it to your reading list. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
