A hopeless romantic meets a jaded radio host in this cozy, Sleepless in Seattle-inspired love story from beloved author B.K. Borison.
Review:
As the host of a late-night romance radio call-in show, it's Aiden Valentine's job to give advice on matters of the heart but lately he's having a hard time fulfilling his duties. In fact, Aiden has become downright cynical and vocal about not believing in "love" and the radio stations ratings are spiraling downwards. Until a smart twelve-year-old girl named Maya Stone calls into the show requesting help in the romance department for her single mom. Lucie catches Maya on the phone with a stranger, takes the phone from her demanding the identity of the possible pervert soliciting her child, and ends up talking to Aiden live on-air about her lack of a love life. One call leads to another until Lucie agrees to co-host the show with Aiden in a quest to find her perfect "love" match. Listeners are fascinated by Lucie and the on-air chemistry sizzling between her and Aiden and rating soar.
First-Time Caller reminds me of Sleepless In Seattle in the best of ways. Both characters are lovable yet in denial over what's right in front of their faces. As the on-air search to find a suitable partner for Lucie plays out, the heartstrings drawing Aiden and Lucie together grow stronger. Readers know from the start that they're perfect for one another, but they have to get there in their own time. First-Time Caller is an endearing, romantic and sometimes hilarious romance story. Narration by E.J. Bingham and Hathaway Lee is pure perfection, bringing both characters to life with banter, wit, and heartwarming vibes. I felt like I was actually listening to the late-night radio show! Highly recommend to fans of contemporary romance.
Synopsis:
Aiden Valentine has a secret: he's fallen out of love with love. And as the host of Baltimore's romance hotline, that's a bit of a problem. But when a young girl calls in to the station asking for dating advice for her mom, the interview goes viral, thrusting Aiden and Heartstrings into the limelight.
Lucie Stone thought she was doing just fine. She has a good job; an incredible family; and a smart, slightly devious kid. But when all of Baltimore is suddenly scrutinizing her love life—or lack thereof—she begins to question if she's as happy as she thought. Maybe a little more romance wouldn't be such a bad thing.
Everyone wants Lucie to find her happy ending... even the handsome, temperamental man calling the shots. But when sparks start to fly behind the scenes, Lucie must make the final call between the radio-sponsored happily ever after or the man in the headphones next to her.
