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 a historic snowstorm, 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 unexplored 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 happens in the mountains stay in the mountains?

I have been so excited to read And Now, Back to You! B.K. Borison is one of my favorite authors and I have loved everything she’s ever written. I really enjoyed First-Time Caller, but I loved this second installment in the Heartstrings series even more! There’s just something about a B.K. Borison book. They are always cozy, romantic, and oh so sweet.

If you know me at all, you know I love weather. I am a huge, huge weather fangirl. I love all kinds of storms, and am positively energized when I hear a clap of thunder. If I hear a truck rumble down the street, my heart skips a beat until I realize it’s a truck. lol. I have so many weather apps on my phone, I love listening to storm sounds, and I follow the local meteorologist to make sure I’m aware of all things weather. So I had a feeling I was going to love a romance between rival meteorologists who are forced to team up to cover the snowstorm of the century. From a cozy, isolated lodge. While developing feelings for each other. I mean, come ON. And I loved it! I loved every minute I spent reading about Delilah and Jackson and I loved seeing Aiden and Lucie again, too.

Delilah is the happy, bubbly local TV weather girl who will dress up like a turtle to make her time on the air more fun for both herself and the viewers. Everyone knows and loves her. While she might seem sunshiney on the outside, she’s struggling. Her only family is her grandpa, who is slowly losing his memory to Dementia. He’s completely lucid and filled with joy, though, when Delilah is on the screen and he loves watching her daily weather report. Her boss, Keith, is one of the worst characters I’ve read about in contemporary fiction. He is a misogynistic, mean bully and he threatens her job on a daily basis. I wanted her to leave the station so badly, but also understood why she stayed: grandpa. So she shows up to work everyday with a bright smile on her face and tries so hard to make Keith happy, which is impossible. She’s such a kindhearted person who deserves the world. And Jackson? This surly, serious, standoffish, sweetie grumpy gills (Finding Nemo, anyone?) is capable of giving it to her. He’s also got a complicated family situation. He’s raising his twin teenage sisters Adeline and Penelope after winning custody from his horrendous mom, who still tries to control and manipulate all three of them as she flits in and out of their lives. Jackson is the quintessential cinnamon roll. He’s hard on the outside, but warm and gooey on the inside. His relationship with his little sisters is so sweet, I could cry. And he becomes so adorably vulnerable with Delilah, confiding in her about all his insecurities and feelings of inadequacy. She’s accepting of everything about him, and opens up about her secrets as well. They’re both carrying such heavy burdens and yet they still have room in their hearts for more love. It’s honestly inspiring. They fill each other up and help each other through difficult things throughout the book. They’re each other’s shoulder to cry on, champion, coach, therapist, rock, and they stand up for each other because that’s easier than standing up for themselves. These two have my heart. And their love story is just as beautiful and sweet as their friendship. As the snow falls and the world becomes quiet, their hushed whispers of wholesome wishes drive home a very important message: it’s ok to not be ok, and there are people out there who won’t hurt you. You just have to look for them.

All in all, And Now, Back to You is wonderful. It’s got rivals to friends to lovers, forced proximity, only one bed, found family, and grumpy sunshine! A trope lover’s dream! It’s got a cozy lodge, nighttime sledding, kissing as a form of therapy, so many weather puns, bickering over radar reports, flirty banter on the air, so much love of all different kinds, and villains getting what they deserve. I highly recommend it, and if you can read it under a blanket during a blizzard I highly encourage you to do so! I can’t wait for the next book!
