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.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
True love connects two people across the airwaves in this heartfelt listen inspired by the classic rom-com Sleepless in Seattle. For Aiden, doling out advice to lovelorn callers on the popular radio show Hearstrings has made him so cynical, he doesn’t even really believe in romance anymore. Lucie, on the other hand, is so busy as a successful mechanic and devoted mom, she never even thinks about the love she could be missing—until her tween daughter calls into Heartstrings on her behalf and makes her mom a sensation. The heart-melting chemistry that narrators E.J. Bingham and Hathaway Lee tap into between these two leads had us buzzing with excitement—especially when Lucie sits down with Aiden to record a segment and B.K. Borison’s trademark romantic banter takes hold. We were also living for all the workplace gossip at Aiden’s radio station, not to mention the unconventional workings of Lucie’s blended family. This is a lovely listen for a sunny day.
