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 Lucie, 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.

When I read that the new book series by Borison would be inspired by Nora Ephron's films, I was excited. Her films hold a special place in my memory, a girl time spent with my sisters and mom. First Time Caller is inspired by the movie Sleepless in Seattle, where Aiden Valentine, the host of the love radio show Heartstrings, has stopped believing in love, and Lucy Stone, a single mom, has forgotten what love means to her. Thanks to her daughter, Lucy becomes the new project for Aiden's show, and together with the listeners, they try to find a new love interest for Lucy.
This book has everything that a romcom should have: opposites attract, witty dialogues, adorable side characters, some breakups, and a lot of LOVE.
