REVIEW: First Time Caller by B.K. Borison


OUR REVIEW:

This is the second thing I've read by B.K. Borison and I have to say I'm a fan. The novels are engaging, the characters and their situations seem recognizable and yet fresh, and I find that I fly through them when I'm reading. In the case of First Time Caller, you have a grump, Aiden, and a sunshine, Lucie, inadvertently being brought together by Lucie's daughter. Her daughter just wants her to find love and a companion and decides to use Aiden's romance hotline/radio show to help her find the right person. What starts out as a search ends with Aiden--though there are some pretty sucky dating incidents to get through first. Despite what they think would or should happen, these two really are a great match and once they get out of their own ways, they figure it out.

Delightful secondary characters, great scenes and banter, make this a definite fun read. 


SYNOPSIS:
A hopeless romantic meets a jaded radio host in this cozy, Sleepless in Seattle-inspired love story from beloved author B.K. Borison.

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.
