Author: B.K. Borison Genre: Contemporary Romance Book Rating: ⭐ 8.5/10 Spicy Rating: 🌶️🌶️ 2/5 Description Aiden Valentine hosts Baltimore’s popular romance hotline, Heartstrings. E very night he gives callers advice about love—but privately, he has a problem: he’s stopped believing in it. Everything changes when a young girl calls the show asking for dating advice for her single mom. The call goes viral. Suddenly the entire city is invested in the love life of Lucie Stone, the woman on the other end of that phone call. Lucie thought she was perfectly happy with her life—raising her clever daughter, working her job, and keeping romance on the back burner. But when the radio show starts turning her love life into a public event, she begins to wonder if maybe she’s been missing something. As Lucie spends more time around Aiden behind the scenes, the grumpy radio host and the hopeful romantic start to realize that the chemistry between them might be more real than any love story broadcast on air. Now Lucie must decide: follow the fairytale everyone expects—or take a chance on the man sitting beside her in the studio.
