B.K. Borison
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.

"It will thaw even the hardest hearts."—People
“First-Time Caller made me feel like I was reading my favorite story for the first time—because I was. Bright, effervescent, and painfully relatable, B.K. Borison’s writing is a masterclass in tender care. I was kicking my heels and smiling through my tears—what a joyful ode to happily ever after!”—Ashley Poston, New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Year Slip
"First-Time Caller is everything: tender, sexy, stuffed with flirty banter that had me screaming into my pillow. Full of characters who feel real, like family. A beautiful love letter to love and the movie that made me believe in it. Infused with the kind of magic I can't properly put into words, because B.K. Borison took all the prettiest ones for this book. It's B.K. at her very best, a reminder that it's her world and we're the lucky readers who get to live in it. Hang this one in the Louvre."—Jessica Joyce, USA Today bestselling author of The Ex Vows

I listened to this over Valentine’s Day and smiled like an idiot the whole time.
It’s one of those few stories that truly reminds me of an early 2000s rom com. Not just because it’s a reimagining of Sleepless in Seattle either. It’s just done so well.
Stories like this make me fall in love with reading over and over again. I wish I could read it for the first time again.
Perfection

I loved the little radio snips at the start of each chapter!

The supporting characters—Maya, Grayson, and Maggie—added so much charm and depth to the story, making it feel warm, inviting, and full of heart. But what truly elevated the experience for me was the audiobook! The snippets of Aiden and Lucie’s on-air interactions at the beginning of each chapter were chef’s kiss. Hearing them flirt, challenge each other, and slowly fall in love made it all feel so real and immersive. It completely pulled me into their world and made the story even more engaging.
This book was equal parts swoony, funny, and heartfelt, and I couldn’t put it down. B.K. Borison absolutely nailed the balance of romance, humor, and emotional depth, making First Time Caller an easy five star read for me. Highly recommend, especially in audiobook format! 💕🎧📻
