A small-town baker learns to raise her expectations for love with some help from a handsome local teacher in this sunny romantic comedy.
Layla Dupree has given up on love. She’s waded through all 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 Layla’s 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 romantic 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 mocha fudge brownies.

“Lovelovelove the part when the bakehouse ran out of power and all of Layla's efforts literally went to waste AND Caleb got the whole town to help, that was a heartwarming scene. 💖
I like Caleb's character tbh; he always asks Layla's opinions and wants, he nudges her to communicate what she wants and he respects!!! whatever decision she has made. He knows Layla's THE one for him, he's willing to wait for her until she's ready; he's too selfless like he's okay with going back to how they were even if he's heartbroken. Such a good guy... 🥹
Also, have to mention Charlie's connection to almost every lead character in the Lovelight series! Brother of Stella, friend of Luka, adopted grandson of Caleb's Abuela and soon-to-be Beckett's in-law in the 4th installment: Business Casual (excited to read this!!!)”
