First-Time Caller by B.K. Borison

When I heard that the author of Lovelight Farms wrote a story inspired by Sleepless in Seattle, I was hooked. I loved most things about this book and it was a blast to read. I especially enjoyed the audio. 

My main issue was the romance, which is the heart of the book. I loved their chemistry and them as a couple, but I don’t like the explaining away of their feelings. This happens a lot in romance books and I hate it every time. The “it’s just a crush” and then making excuses for feeling the way they do. The “let’s be casual and have fun,” when it’s clearly more than that. I guess I don’t like the underestimating of relationships and emotions that lead up to them.

I did love pretty much everything else. I loved that she’s a mechanic. I love that he’s the grumpy radio host about love. I love watching them both do their jobs and meet somewhere in the middle of their respective lives. I love the bits between chapters when we get to see glimpses of show transcripts. And the ending. I really loved the ending.
