Jumia Books First-Time Caller by B.K. Borison

First-Time Caller by B.K. Borison is a delightful romantic comedy that blends small-town charm with modern media magic. Set in the cozy fictional town of Inglewild, the story centers around a local radio host whose nightly show becomes the unexpected stage for a slow-burn romance that begins with a single call.

The protagonist—witty, guarded, and slightly jaded—finds their routine disrupted when a mysterious first-time caller dials in and sparks a connection that transcends the airwaves. What begins as playful banter soon deepens into something more intimate, as both characters reveal their vulnerabilities, dreams, and emotional baggage through late-night conversations.

Borison’s storytelling is rich with:

Quirky, lovable side characters and a strong sense of community

Themes of emotional healing, trust, and rediscovering joy

A slow-burn romance that builds through dialogue and shared moments

Humor, heartache, and the thrill of unexpected connection

As the caller’s identity slowly unfolds, the novel explores how love can find us in the most unexpected places—and how sometimes, the bravest thing we can do is speak our truth aloud.

Perfect for fans of cozy romances, witty dialogue, and heartfelt storytelling, First-Time Caller is a feel-good read that celebrates vulnerability, second chances, and the magic of being truly heard. Kenyan readers seeking lighthearted escapism with emotional depth will find this title especially resonant.
