Description:
Layla Dupree has given up on love.

She’s waded through all of the fish in the sea, each one more disappointing than the last. Apparently owning the bakery at Inglewild’s most romantic destination does not help one’s love life—despite her best efforts. All she wants is a partner who gives her butterflies, not someone who ghosts her at dinner and leaves her with the check.

Good thing Caleb Alvarez has the perfect solution.

After saving Layla from another date gone bad, he has a simple proposition: One month of no-strings dating. He’ll do his best to renew her faith in men while she rates his dating game. It’s a win-win situation. All the benefits of dating, without the added pressure of feelings and unmet expectations.

But there’s one ingredient they haven’t considered. The chemistry between them is red hot and the urge to take things to the next level is more tempting than Layla’s double fudge mocha brownies.

Will the heat between them boil over? Or will it be another case of mixed signals?

Mixed Signals is a sweet and steamy small-town romance. Our story features a bashful man who can rock a Hawaiian shirt, a hopeful and dreamy bakery owner, enough sweets to give you a cavity, and your favorite Inglewild residents. Mixed Signals is a standalone romance and the third book in the Lovelight series.

Review:

Mixed Signals by B.K. Borison is the third book in her wonderful Lovelight series.  I loved the first two books in this series, as they were wonderful sweet romances; and happy to say I that Layla and Caleb’s story, was equally as good.

Layla Dupree, our heroine and fabulous baker, is the lead in this story.  Layla has no success in dating, with so many terrible experiences; she is just about to give up.  Caleb, who has had a crush on Layla for a long time, as he is a regular to her bakery; he sees her on a date, with a guy who leaves her with the check.  She is frustrated, and Caleb suggests they try to help each other, to figure out what they both are doing wrong; they agree to make an arrangement to date each other for a month. One month of no-strings dating; with no pressure of feelings and expectations. Caleb was sweet, fun, and sexy; and he wants to prove to Layla that she keeps dating the wrong men, as she deserves to have someone treat her with kindness, care, and devotion. In a short time, the chemistry between is sizzling, with things changing drastically.  I loved Caleb and Layla together, as they made such a wonderful couple.

What follows is a sweet wonderful endearing romance between Caleb and Layla, with us hoping to find the happiness they both deserved. Layla was a fabulous heroine, as she was sweet, caring, and a fantastic baker (loved all the desserts). Caleb was totally hooked into Layla, and was fantastic hero, who was determined to show Layla how to love.   The secondary characters were all so great, which included Stella, Luka, Evie, Beckett, and Caleb’s family. 

Mixed Signals was another fun, cute, sweet romance, great couple, terrific secondary characters in this continuation of the Lovelight series. Mixed Signals was a wonderful story, that was not only fun, but probably steamier then the previous two books. Even though this is the third book, I do hope Borison gives us more in this series, as she creates terrific couples.  I suggest you read this series, as it’s a fun sweet story, and very well written by B.K. Borison.
