INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

A hopeless romantic meets a jaded radio host in this cozy, Sleepless in Seattle–inspired love story from beloved author B.K. Borison.

Aiden Valentine has a secret: he’s fallen out of love with love. And as the host of Baltimore’s romance hotline, that’s a bit of a problem. But when a young girl calls in to the station asking for dating advice for her mom, the interview goes viral, thrusting Aiden and Heartstrings into the limelight.

Lucie Stone thought she was doing just fine. She has a good job; an incredible family; and a smart, slightly devious kid. But when all of Baltimore is suddenly scrutinizing her love life—or lack thereof—she begins to question if she’s as happy as she believed. Maybe a little more romance wouldn’t be such a bad thing.

Everyone wants Lucie to find her happy ending…even the handsome, temperamental man calling the shots. But when sparks start to fly behind the scenes, Lucie must make the final decision between the radio-sponsored happily ever after or the man in the headphones next to her.

Aaaaahhh the absolute best!!

This book is beyond cute/sweet/swoon worthy… such a super sugar sweet perfect little romance. I fired every single second. The narrators are perfect. ✨

Do not let other reviews sway you

There have been many conflicting reviews. I’m here to tell you I loved it.
Aiden and Lucie meet when Lucie’s 12 year old daughter is caught calling into a romantic advice radio show because her mom is lonely.
Aiden who is struggling with the idea of love offers to find her a match.
The characters are all so likable and I’m hoping this turns into a series.

Wonderfully cute

It is a cute and sweet story. At the beginning I didn’t like the female characters point of view on dating. Thankfully story changed and directed characters to new themes and I really started to enjoy her openness and smartness. Anyway, good, sweet and lovely story.

Cozy and hopeful

Aiden, hot crabass (great, now I want a crab boil), is a radio host who begrudgingly doles out relationship advice and has STRONG 1990s Tom Hanks vibes (ELITE). Lucie Stone is a mechanic with a life full of loved ones but with no love life. Her kid, Maya, scheming like a Wes Anderson directed weasel in a pantry, calls into Aiden’s show, Heartstrings, and ropes Lucie into the ears and hearts of Baltimore.

This was adorable. Such a classic rom com feel, so cozy, low stakes but NOT boring- as cozy rom coms so often fall prey to. If you love banter, the movie Sleepless in Seattle, and curmudgeons falling in love hard despite flailing in resistance, this is your book.

Amazing

Loved this story and the narrators. Do we think Hathaway Lee is Rachel Bloom under a pen name?
