Mixed Signals

💖💖💖💖/5

Mixed Signals by B.K. Borison, book three in her Lovelight series, is a sweet, heartwarming and endearing story with a sunshine/sunshine trope. Layla Dupree, a bakery owner, has been unlucky in love. She is looking for a man who appreciates her, wont stiff her with the bill, and who will stick around.  Caleb Alvarez, a former deputy but now high school teacher, shows up at Layla's bakery, like clockwork, ordering one butter croissant and coffee, before school. Caleb has had a crush on Layla since he first set eyes on her; but has not acted on them as he has been unlucky in love. Layla has no faith in men because of past experience so she doesn't even notice them until she actually does start noticing Caleb. After saving Layla from a bad date, Caleb suggests that they date for one month. He will renew her belief in men and dating and she will rate his dating skills.


Layla is amazing with her sense of humor, caring nature, and optimism, but she has a lot of internal self-doubts. Her family doesn't support her decision to be a baker and she questions her own judgment, especially the men she’s dated. They both wanted to find love and that right person. Their dates are sometimes hilarious and sometimes tension-filled filled due to their attraction and chemistry. Their chemistry is sizzling and off the charts. Commiserating with each other these two finally find strength, fun, light-hearted happiness, and eventually love in each other.

Mixed Signals is a community affair in many ways with wonderful supporting characters. Delivered with humor and hints of smexy, this is a story to make you fall in love with love again. I highly recommend Mixed Signals to other readers.

 

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
