So listen… First-Time Caller by B.K. Borison is the soft, late-night, emotionally vulnerable kind of romance that sneaks up on you in the best way. It starts with Lucie’s daughter calling into a radio show to find her mom a date (icon behavior), and from there we get anonymous phone calls, slow-burn tension, and a grumpy host who is not ready for the chaos Lucie brings.

Aiden and Lucie have this magnetic pull — even when they don’t know who they’re talking to. It’s quiet. Intimate. And full of those heart-squeezing moments that make you wanna hug the book.

If you’re into single mom romances, small towns, late-night convos that turn into something more, or stories that just feel like a safe place? You’re gonna love this one.

I am unwell. This book and its second, wow. Its post apocalyptic, forbidden romance with guard and prisoner, we've got very much "touch her and die". girl. obsessed.

Do you believe in fate or free will when it comes to love? What about if your family members receive visions of their soulmates? I loved this story! I loved the characters and how much they grew, and the best friends to lovers trope!

Forbidden, age gap, and a 3.5/5 spice=obsessed.
