First-Time Caller by B.K. Borison
&ܴdz;⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Aiden is the host of Baltimore‘s top romance hotline Heartstrings, and Lucie is a single mom doing her best to provide for herself and her daughter� when Lucie‘s daughter decides to call into the show to set her mom up to find love. Lucie ends up becoming Aiden’s co-host and giving love a chance, repeatedly going on dates that ultimately seem to not be the right fit or are fully disappointing� But what happens if Aiden, her Heartstrings co-host, decides he wants to be more than friends with her? And then what happens if he can’t get enough of her, and she can’t get enough of him either?

“Her eyebrows jump up. She glances at the box in my lap and then back to my face. ‘You have a pineapple pizza?� I nod, annoyed with myself. ‘I do.� ‘You said pineapple on pizza is disgusting.� ‘It is.� ‘Then why do you have it?� ‘Because you said it was your favorite,� I admit. ‘And I want your favorite to be my favorite.’�

I loved these two in First-Time Caller!! Aiden is pining for Lucie with no shame or regrets whatsoever. We get slow burn, tension, the banter is bantering, and Aiden is down BAD for Lucie - it’s adorable! This book gave me 2000s rom-com movie vibes, and I mean that in the best possible way. If you want an adorable romance that has you kicking your feet over how cute it is while you read it, this is a great book to check out!

read if you love: slow burn, great banter, workplace romance (kinda?), single mom, he falls first

This book shattered my heart into a million pieces but I’m glad I got to experience it being slowly put back together.

I don’t think I’ll ever tire of reading Sara Cate’s books. This one was just as emotional, heartwarming and sexy as all her others. Her books always grab my attention and will keep it till the very end.

Please check trigger warnings before diving into this book. It handles a lot of difficult topics. I had to take moments to gather my thoughts at times. Please take care of yourself.

This book follows Isaac, also known as famous country singer, Theo Virgil. He is the youngest of the Goode brothers. He’s had a rough upbringing and has had to do life alone for quite some time.

Jensen Miles is a pastor. He’s been living with a secret and finds himself struggling to break free from his own torment on a daily basis. He never once expected to develop such strong feelings for anyone in his life. He then meets Isaac and feels a connection like no other.

They now both have to face coming to terms with how to navigate these new feelings. Both of them have hidden who they truly are from the world because they’re afraid of the possible outcomes. They both start to realize that they can’t imagine life without the other and they may need to soon face reality.

These two were out of this world adorable. I want what these two have. It warmed my heart to see how quickly Jensen was willing to protect Isaac. I loved knowing that these two found each other. Their love story was everything. My heart also broke for these two multiple times and it was hard to read the struggles they had to go through. I felt like it was important to see how they were able to grow from it and it made their relationship stronger to see that they stuck by each other through the worst of times. I never wanted to stop reading about these two. They truly stole my heart. ]]>
