B.K. Borison delivers a heartfelt, cozy, and utterly charming romance in First-Time Caller, a story that feels like a warm hug with strong Sleepless in Seattle vibes—only with a modern twist and a lot more personality.
The story kicks off with 12-year-old Maya’s call to Heartstrings, a struggling Baltimore romance hotline hosted by the jaded (yet secretly soft-hearted) Aiden Valentine. Maya isn’t calling for herself—she’s calling to find love for her 29-year-old single mom, Lucie Stone. What starts as a sweet, slightly quirky moment quickly goes viral, giving both the show and Aiden’s life a much-needed shake-up.
From the moment Lucie and Aiden start talking, the chemistry crackles. It’s incredibly satisfying to watch their dynamic unfold: Lucie, with her quiet strength and vulnerability, and Aiden, who’s desperately trying to keep his growing feelings under wraps. After all, how can a man who’s stopped believing in love help someone find theirs? But as the story progresses, it’s clear that Aiden’s own heart might be on the line.
One of the book’s standout charms is its supporting cast. Maya is witty, clever, and full of heart—a true scene-stealer. Her little found family with her two dads adds so much warmth and representation to the story, and every side character brings something meaningful and fun to the narrative.
If there’s one quibble, it’s that Aiden takes a bit too long to move past his emotional walls. But when he finally does, it’s worth the wait, and the happily ever after feels well-earned and deeply satisfying.
First-Time Caller is a story about second chances, chosen families, and the kind of love that sneaks up on you when you least expect it. With its mix of heart, humor, and just the right amount of angst, this book is a must-read for fans of cozy romances with strong emotional depth.
