Goodreads Synopsis
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.

Review
Layla Dupree might be the owner and baker at Inglewild's most romantic bakery, but she's never had any luck herself in romance. After being ghosted one too many times, she's decides to swear off dating once and for all. But handsome deputy turned teacher, Caleb Alvarez has other plans. He's been visiting the bakery every day, ordering the same croissant and coffee, trying to come to terms with the biggest crush he's ever had. He doesn't like the idea of Layla giving up on romance, and has a proposition - go out with him for a month, no strings attached. It's win-win, he can learn what he's been doing wrong, and she can restore her faith in romance. The only issue, they can't stop thinking about each other, and soon want to have all the strings attached.
Yet another great addition to this series. Layla and Caleb had always been interesting side characters, and I'm so happy we get to see Layla have a happy ending after all this time. I adore fake dating romances, and this book did it so well. They were quite open and honest with why they were 'dating' each other, so that they could critique and learn from each other. I mean, it was obvious that it would all go wrong, and they would fall head other heels for each other, but the journey there was oh so good! The only negative I have is that there was a moment when it all nearly went wrong, but it turned out well in the end, and was all worth it!
