First-Time Caller (Paperback or Softback)

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

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 believed. 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 decision between the radio-sponsored happily ever after or the man in the headphones next to her.

I had started and stopped this one. This 2nd time, I was able to really enjoy this book. It was a slower paced romance but this is grown people ish! If you like mature people finally getting it right with help of their kid, then you will enjoy this one. Plus I love that she’s a mechanic and he is a radio host.

Obsessed with this book! It was raw and real. Fun and yet steamy. Fell in love with both characters from the very beginning.

Another contemporary romance! This one was for a bookclub, otherwise I probably wouldn’t have picked it up. However, I am happy that I did! The banter was hilarious and the plot was so unique to me! Also, the FMC is a mechanic, which I loved because we need more books that normalize these types of positions for women.

This was my first BK Borison book and OMG was it adorable! I adore Lucie and Aiden so much, Grayson and Mateo are amazing co-parents, and Maya is the funniest kid I’ve read in a while! This book is going to take you on the coziest ride of emotions, we have character growth, amazing banter and just the best lineup of characters. I have so many guesses for the series and I cannot wait to see which other characters will be getting their own books. Highly recommend adding to your TBR asap!
