Book Description

Avalon Romance April 30, 2006
Welcome back to WLVH Lovehandles, where love is more than just a song.

Cassie Grant's nighttime radio program, Night Calls, centers around the belief that true love exists, that it matters. Unfortunately, Cassie's own love life disappears when she breaks off her engagement. So she does the only thing she can do--she declares herself a spinster and buys...a dog (she's allergic to cats). A big dog, because it's going to take something pretty big to make her forget that she can find love for everyone but herself.

Jonathan Cooper is a lawyer who learned long ago that happily-ever-afters are fairy tales. He and Cassie have become friends since he moved next door. But every single man knows that while you can be friends with an engaged woman...there's no way it will work with a single one. Especially a crazy one who just bought an Old English Mastiff that looks more like a small pony than a dog.

For a woman who's given up on fairytale endings and a man who's never believed in them, it seems impossible that they might find a happily-ever-after of their own.


Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Jacobs returns to WLVH, a radio station dedicated to love introduced in Lovehandles (2005), focusing this time on the nighttime DJ Cassie Grant, who has just cancelled her wedding. Although she has a knack for bringing couples together, she can't seem to do the same for herself. Vowing to give up men altogether, she gets a dog. Although still a puppy, this huge mastiff resembles a pony and only really listens to Cassie's neighbor, Cooper, a handsome divorce lawyer who doesn't believe in love. Cassie and Cooper have become good friends, but now Cooper can't stop thinking about Cassie romantically, and she discovers that she has similar unwanted feelings toward him. But her belief in knock-your-socks-off love and his cynical outlook on the subject lead them to believe that nothing will come of their attraction. Of course, nothing could be further from the truth as Cassie and Cooper discover that anything's possible in Jacobs' cheery and amusing contemporary romance. Maria Hatton

Review

"Funny, charming, and sweet, this romance...is perfect for those who enjoy gentle, playful reads." -- From Library Journal, April 15, 2006

"... NIGHT CALLS is a fun old-fashioned contemporary romance that grips the audience... Holly Jacobs provides a fun winner that will send her audience seeking other Erie WLVH tales (see LOVEHANDLES and PICKUP LINES)." - Harriet Klausner --From the Midwest Book Review, May 2006

4.0 out of 5 stars Sometimes fates has plans of its own..., April 19, 2006
This review is from: Night Calls (Avalon Romance) (Hardcover)
Courtesy of CK2S Kwips and Kritiques

Cassie Grant is a true romantic... and her radio show capitalizes on her passion for love. She spends every night helping her listeners find or strengthen their own true loves. Just as she is about to find her own happy-ever-after, life intervenes with the cancellation of her wedding. Now Cassie is determined to spend her life as a stereotypical spinster (but with a dog instead of a cat) who plays matchmaker for everyone else, with no expectations for her own love life. However, sometimes fate has other plans...

Jonathan Cooper is a divorce lawyer who doesn't believe in love. How can he, when every day he deals with clients whose "till death do us part" vows really mean "till I tire of you." He and Cassie have grown to be good friends since he moved in next door and the introduction of her horse-dog brings them even closer. Now that she's suddenly single, he finds things have changed between them,... and could it be? Is he actually changing his mind about true love?

Cassie is an effervescent romantic, who tries to put her rose colored glasses aside, only to find it impossible to do so. Does this remind some readers of their own rises and falls on the roller coaster of love? Jonathan is a complete realist, totally unconvinced that such a thing as "love" can exist between two people. Watching his progression from doubting to believing will provide plenty of amusement for readers. Add in a huge, loveable puppy and an ex-fianc? who can't let go and this charming story will carry one away for a few hours to another world.

Plenty of tension-charged witty repartee zings back and forth between the stubborn lovebirds. Night Calls, the concluding title in the WLVH "Lovehandles" trilogy will, as with the preceding books, provide ample giggles and sighs. Holly Jacobs' trademark humor is evident on every page and sure to please readers. By the conclusion of this tale, one will have once again fallen in love with Jonathan and Cassie, and Dudley too.
