Call Me Anytime

The Protectors, Book 1

De: Max Monroe

Narrado por: Lee Samuels, Summer Morton

A virgin phone sex operator. A detective. And a murder. Love shows up at the oddest times in this funny, emotional, and suspenseful romantic comedy by New York Times bestselling author Max Monroe.

Down and almost out in Nashville, Hannah May takes a job at what she thinks is a telemarketing company. To her shock, it’s a phone sex hotline. Unfortunately, the only role-playing Hannah can do with conviction is as a cash-strapped twenty-five-year-old virgin caring for a mother with Alzheimer’s. If only her callers were into that fantasy. Instead, one of them is looking for a killer.

Detective Dominic Dunn is investigating the murder of another hotline operator when Hannah’s endearing awkwardness, quirky charm, and fierce devotion to her mother crack his professional facade. Despite the circumstances, their connection is instant and electric. For the first time in years, Hannah finds herself living instead of just surviving—even if that means playing amateur sleuth between awkward attempts at phone seduction.

But as their relationship deepens and the investigation intensifies, Dominic’s protective instincts go into overdrive. With every call Hannah takes, she gets closer to both love and danger.

Because somewhere in Nashville, on the other end of her line, a killer is waiting.

Spicy Romcom with all sorts of awkardness & cuteness

🌶️🌶️🌶️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
Hannah is a virgin who is desperate for a job and ends up working at a phone sex line.
Dom is a detective. Who happens to be investigating multiple murders correlating with the Ruby line Hannah is now running at Call Me Anytime.
Hannah is mortified when Dom and his partner spend their days listening to a wire tap on her phone line. As they are forced to spend time together, Hannah and Dom begin to build an unexpected relationship. Hannah is an independent woman who has been supporting her mom and her declining health for years. She struggles with asking for and accepting help. Dom takes it upon himself to help alleviate some of Hannah’s financial struggles. He comes to realize, he struggles with knowing when he has crossed a line.

This is a slow burn romance. The real life struggles are believable and heart breaking. Max Monroe do a great job portraying dementia and Alzheimer’s. The sweet moments between Dom’s family and Hannah’s mom were so sweet. The murder mystery aspect of this story adds a 3rd dimension to this story, that I really enjoyed.
Lee Samuels And Summer Morton were perfect to narrate these characters!

Heavy topics, but a great story

I wanted to read this because I have heard a lot of things about it, and the fact that Hannah's mom has Alzheimer's. Since I lost my father to that horrible disease earlier this year, it always resonates with me.
It's a romance/rom-com/adult romance with a crime case thrown in. There was decent banter, and the characters were all pretty good.
I'm looking forward to reading more about them in upcoming books.

Pleasantly surprised

Laughed out loud in the beginning. Drawn in by the mystery. Stay engaged due to a strong MMC. I devoured it in two days. Enjoyable read.

Audio is the way to go!!!

This is an amazing story wrapped in a CSI colored bow. It’s fast paced and great chemistry between the two narrators! SOOO good!!

These authors did it again must listen

Great adult romance not too steamy. Lots of smiles. Great listen definitely recommend. If you are a max Monroe fan this is definitely one to hear.
