Book Description:

Two competing meteorologists are forced to find common ground in this opposites attract, When Harry Met Sally inspired romance, from New York Times bestselling author B.K. Borison.

Jackson Clark and Delilah Stewart have had their fair share of run-ins over the years, often ending in disaster. While Jackson thrives on routine and organization from the comfort of his radio booth, Delilah loves the spontaneity and adventure out in the field. When they’re partnered against their will to cover the snowstorm of the century, they find themselves scrambling to figure out how to work together.

Eager to be taken seriously as a journalist, Delilah offers Jackson a deal. If he can help her ace this assignment, she’ll help him rediscover his long-lost fun side. With an undiscovered chemistry burning beneath their clashes, the unlikely partnership quickly tumbles into an easy and surprising friendship.

But when other feelings start to enter the equation, can Jackson and Delilah withstand the storm? Or does what happen in the mountains, stay in the mountains?


My Book Review:

In And Now, Back To You, the second book in the Heartstrings series, author B.K. Borison weaves a lighthearted romantic tale of friendship and finding love.

Set in Baltimore, the reader is easily drawn into this entertaining rom com as they follow Delilah Stewart and Jackson Clark as they are partnered together to broadcast a historic snowstorm for their radio and tv news stations.

Deliliah Stewart is a meteorologist at YBAL News tv station, but her boss Keith has been pulling her from broadcasting the daily weather forecast for humiliating feature spots. Delilah has dreamed of being a meteorologist since childhood because of her grandpa Gus who raised her and religiously watched YBAL News every day.  

Jackson Clark is a meteorologist at 101.6 Lite FM radio station. He reports the weather and traffic every hour along with managing the radio station's finances. Jackson got sole custody of his twin sisters Penelope and Adeline when he was 20 years old and the girls were 8 years old, because their mom was an absent parent chasing her own dreams. Seven years later, and they are his whole world. 

The radio and tv stations are located across the street from each other, and Delilah and Jackson have daily run-ins with each other in the parking lot. They are total opposites; Delilah has an outgoing and sunny disposition but is a complete klutz. Jackson is a strait-laced and routine kind of guy. When their bosses pull them into a meeting and tell them that they will be partnering together to report on the weather, they are to coordinate their efforts and report on the coming snowstorm in the field from a mountain area of western Maryland. They agree to work together and help each other out, Delilah wants to be taken seriously in her broadcasts, and Jackson wants her to help him get out of his comfort zone and find his spontaneous and fun side.

While on the road trip, Delilah and Jackson discover that their meteorology reporting is complementary, and what ensues is that their chemistry on-air has their listeners/viewers in Baltimore wondering if their on-air relationship has developed into something more. Follow along as Delilah and Jackson team up on-air to report on the historic snowstorm, while also discovering that maybe opposites really do attract after all! 

And Now, Back To You is such a fun romantic comedy that easily keeps the reader engaged as they follow Delilah and Jackson's story. Set in Baltimore and from western Maryland and told in alternating first person narrative by Delilah and Jackson, the reader follows along as their unexpected partnering helps both of them gain a sense of self-discovery, and a chance at finding love and happiness in their lives. 

There was a great mixture of emotion, drama, angst, humor, and crazy antics mixed in this story. The author does a great job of describing Delilah and Jackson's lives, and how their frenemy relationship turns into an undeniable chemistry when sparks fly as they are stuck together during the snowstorm. You can't help but cheer them on, and hope that they realize they're meant for each other when they go back home to Baltimore.

This is a When Harry Met Sally inspired romance, and it is exactly that. The author has once again given the readers a swoon worthy romance just like she did in First-Time Caller, the first book of the Heartstrings series.

And Now, Back To You is a wonderful story that has enough emotional depth, drama, romance, comedy, hilarious antics, and witty banter, that makes it a delightfully entertaining romantic comedy tale that romance fans will certainly enjoy!

Book Description:

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.



My Book Review:

In First-Time Caller, author B.K. Borison weaves a lighthearted romantic tale of friendship, love and second chances.

Set in Baltimore, the reader is easily drawn into this entertaining rom com as they follow Lucie Stone and Aiden Valentine as they navigate the trials and tribulations of life, love, and second chances.

Lucie Stone is a single mom to twelve-year-old daughter Maya. She has a loving support system consisting of Grayson, her ex-BF/baby daddy and his husband Mateo, and BFF Patty. But the one thing Lucie doesn't have is a significant other. She a romantic who is waiting for the right guy to find her.

Aiden Valentine is the radio host of Baltimore's hottest romance hotline, Heartstrings. Aiden is struggling and has trouble believing in love and has lost hope in romance because of the radio callers' issues with love. 

When Lucie catches Maya on the phone with Aiden, she can't believe that her daughter has called into the romance hotline and is asking for advice for her mom! What ensues is a long on-air call between Lucie and Aiden that goes viral, and the next thing she knows is that Heartstrings is going to help her with her love life! Follow along as Lucie and Aiden team up on-air to find her a romantic partner, but who knows, maybe the perfect romantic partner is right before their nose the whole time!

First-Time Caller is such a fun romantic comedy that easily keeps the reader engaged as they follow Lucie and Aiden's story. Set in Baltimore and told in alternating first person narrative by Lucie and Aiden, the reader follows along as their unexpected meeting helps both of them gain a sense of self-discovery, and a second chance at finding love and happiness in their lives. 

There was a great mixture of emotion, drama, angst, humor, and crazy antics mixed in this story. The author does a great job of describing Lucie and Aiden's lives, when they begin hosting Heartstrings together. As Lucie's on-air dating experience is anything but romantic, Lucie and Aiden both realize that sparks fly between them. You can't help but cheer them on, and hope that they realize they're meant for each other. 

This is a Sleepless In Seattle inspired love story, and it is exactly that. The author said that she wrote the story as a love letter to love ... the magic of love, and she sure did accomplish that!

First-Time Caller is a heartfelt story that has enough emotional depth, drama, romance, comedy, and witty banter, that makes it a delightfully entertaining romantic comedy tale that romance fans will certainly enjoy!
