Content Warnings: Describes beings uncomfortable with one’s sexual experiences. Contains explicit sexual content.
“Mixed Signals” follows Layla Dupree, owner of one of the most prominent town bakeries and one of the co-owners of Lovelight Farms, as she fake dates one of her frequent customers, Caleb Alvarez. Layla is lowkey giving up on love but Caleb talks her into a low-risk arrangement: no strings attached dating for a month so 1) he can convince her that not all men suck and 2) so she can help him polish his dating skills, as women tend to not want more than one or two dates with him. What could go wrong, right? Not much. Unless one or both of them end up inadvertent falling for the other, that is.
No two characters had ever given off such strong chemistry ever. I was completely won over by their banter and how they slowly became more comfortable around each other—oh, and Caleb’s delicate way to address and comfort Layla’s insecurities. They took their sweeeeet time.
I was honestly impressed with the way Layla’s and Caleb’s sexual intimacy was addressed. It was such a unique take on a reality that isn’t frequently displayed: sexual dysfunctions and insecurities—oh, and a string of ex partners that were selfish to a T, but that’s another topic all together.
If I could only recommend one of the books in this series, “Mixed Signals” would be it. It’s sweet and lighthearted and the characters were as lovable as they get. Layla and Caleb will win your heart, I am sure of it.
