Why we love this

Sleepless in Seattle Vibes: If you love classic 90s rom-coms, this book is a massive homage to them. The setup of a child calling into a radio station to find love for her single mom is pure, nostalgic gold.
Jaded Host Meets Hopeless Romantic: Aiden Valentine hosts a romance hotline but has completely lost his faith in love. Watching this grumpy, cynical host fall head over heels for the sunny, hopelessly romantic single mom he's supposed to be setting up is incredible.
Cozy, Signature Charm: B.K. Borison is a master of writing cozy, comforting romances with spectacular banter. Her characters always feel like real people you want to be friends with.
The Matchmaking Kid: Lucie’s smart, slightly devious daughter stealing the show and kickstarting the entire viral phenomenon adds so much heart and humor to the story.
Behind-the-Scenes Tension: The forced proximity of working together to find Lucie a "radio-sponsored happily ever after" while trying to ignore the electric chemistry between them in the studio makes for an amazing slow-burn.

What you are in for

**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 thought. 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 call between the radio-sponsored happily ever after or the man in the headphones next to her.
