Goodreads Monday: Lovelight Farms by B K Borison

Goodreads Monday is a really simple weekly meme, hosted by new host Budget Tales Book Blog, where you choose a book at random from your Goodreads TBR and explain why you want to read it. This meme is also an opportunity to share any progress you have made on your current books, Goodreads Reading Challenge or anything else Goodreads related.

This week’s pick is: Lovelight Farms by B K Borison

Two best friends fake date to reach their holiday happily ever after in this first romantic comedy in the Lovelight series.

A pasture of dead trees. A hostile takeover of the Santa barn by a family of raccoons. And shipments that have mysteriously gone missing. Lovelight Farms is not the magical winter wonderland of Stella Bloom’s dreams.

In an effort to save the Christmas tree farm she’s loved since she was a kid, Stella enters a contest with Instagram-famous influencer Evelyn St. James. With the added publicity and the $100,000 cash prize, Stella might just be able to save the farm from its financial woes. There’s just one problem. To make the farm seem like a romantic destination for the holidays, she lied on her application and said she owns Lovelight Farms with her boyfriend. Only…there is no boyfriend.

Enter best friend Luka Peters. He just stopped by for some hot chocolate and somehow got a farm and a serious girlfriend in the process. But fake dating his best friend might be the best Christmas present he’s ever received.

Why do I want to read it?:

Every one I have seen review or comment about this has enjoyed it for it’s light, fluffy, romance and that feels like what I will need after I finish the book I am currently reading. Also it’s getting close to Christmas and while I never read Christmassy books, I thought I’d give one a try.

This week’s reading progress:

Yep, you called it… I read two books this week – The Unmaking of June Farrow by Adrienne Young and The Love of my Afterlife by Kirsty Greenwood. Both with a touch of magical realism but completely different feels.
