This is a love story wrapped in warmth and humor, with characters that feel as familiar as old friends. At its heart, it's a tale of two people—one disillusioned by love, the other quietly yearning for it—who find themselves tangled in a whirlwind of public expectation and personal discovery. Aiden Valentine, the weary radio host who has lost faith in romance, and Lucie Stone, the capable single mother unknowingly thrust into the limelight, are a pair destined to clash, connect, and ultimately, challenge each other’s beliefs about love itself.
The novel’s charm lies in its balance between tenderness and wit, making every interaction between Aiden and Lucie crackle with tension, banter, and undeniable chemistry. Borison masterfully crafts their journey, weaving in the everyday chaos of single parenting, the pressure of public scrutiny, and the unexpected joy of finding love in the most unconventional places. Lucie’s daughter, a scene-stealer in her own right, plays cupid in a way that is both endearing and mischievous, adding to the novel’s cozy, feel-good atmosphere.
More than just a romance, First-Time Caller explores vulnerability—how hard it is to admit when we need more, when we deserve love, and when taking that leap is worth the risk. It’s a story that gently reminds us that love isn't always grand gestures and scripted endings; sometimes, it's found in the quiet moments, in the voices we listen to late at night, and in the people who challenge us to rewrite our own stories. A heartwarming read that lingers like the comforting hum of a late-night radio show.
