First‑Time Caller by B K Borison - A Review

First‑Time Caller by B K Borison has a genuinely fun setup. The writing flows well, the pacing tries its best, and the overall vibe often feels like a nostalgic 90s rom‑com—which I loved.

That said, the book is simply too long for the story it’s telling. There are stretches that drag, moments that could’ve been tighter, and it easily could have been 300 pages without losing anything important. Because of that, my interest dipped around the halfway mark.

I really enjoyed the family dynamics and Lucie’s character, plus the sweet early chemistry and banter. But Aiden lost me as the story progressed—his emotional unavailability made it hard to root for him, and I never fully bought their shift from flirtation to love. For a single‑parent romance, I also wished for more meaningful interactions between Aiden and Lucie’s daughter.

Still, it’s a cute, well‑narrated, and entertaining read with great side characters and several genuinely heartwarming moments. If you enjoy slow‑burn romances with charming premises, this one may still hit the spot.
