REVIEW: Mixed Signals by B.K. Borison

Mixed Signals by B.K. Borison: Layla has all but given up on finding love for herself, its been one bad date after the other, that her hopes are truly beginning to dwindle. Which is where Caleb comes in, after saving Layla from yet another failed date he makes her an offer that could help both of them; they date for a month and try and figure out where they have each been going wrong with their respective dating lives. Its perfect really Layla can figure out why non of her dates amount to anything and Caleb can use this month to get Layla to see him as more than a friend…can these two find their perfect love with each other or is this going to end the same way all of their other relationships do?

Mixed Signals is the third book in the Lovelights series, these books all seem to follow a similar pattern but I can’t seem to want to stop reading them! I really enjoyed getting to follow Layla and Caleb on their fake dates that soon began to feel like very real dates, these two both had so much love to give, they just hadn’t found each other yet.

Caleb was well and truly the star of this book, this guy was a total sweetheart and I could not help but love his character! I loved the care and attention that he put into planing each date. Layla meant so much to him that he just wanted the best for her, it just crushed me to see him take any shortcomings so personally. Thankfully it didn’t take our leading lady Layla long to see what a total sweetheart Caleb was and how much care he put into each date. This only helped her fall more in love with him and I really can’t blame her. All in all Layla was a really nice and relatable leading lady, I will say that she caused a bit of unnecessary drama towards the end.

The secondary characters in this book were great, I loved getting to see characters from the pervious books make a reappearance, give advice and add a few laughs along the way. All in all Mixed Signals was a pretty good small town, fake turned real romance. Definitely worth checking out.

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, a collection of interconnected novels.
