Spotlight Review: AND NOW, BACK TO YOU by B.K. Borison

Heartstrings, Book 2

From the publisher:

“Promises plenty of Borison’s signature banter, emotional nuance, and snowed-in charm.”—New York Times

Two competing meteorologists are forced to find common ground in this opposites attract, When Harry Met Sally inspired romance, from #1 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?

“The snowy setting, the endearing protagonists’ grumpy/sunshine dynamic, and their slow-burn romance make for a wonderfully cozy and sexy read…Borison writes a delightful romance to get wrapped up in, full of well-executed tropes.”—Library Journal (starred review)

“Fans of Borison’s previous outings will be excited to delve into this warm winter-hug of a novel.”—Booklist

“A wonderfully cozy and warm romance in a cold, snowy setting.”—Kirkus Reviews

Delilah Stewart is a cheerful, camera-ready meteorologist at a Baltimore TV station who loves her job—but she’s tired of not being taken seriously. When she’s assigned to cover a major weather event, she sees it as her chance to prove herself. The catch? She has to work with Jackson Clark, the no-nonsense radio meteorologist who would rather stick to his carefully ordered world than team up with her.

In And Now, Back to You, the second installment in Heartstrings by B.K. Borison, rival meteorologists are forced together to cover a historic snowstorm in Baltimore. What starts as professional friction slowly builds into undeniable chemistry—especially when forced proximity (hello, one-bed trope) turns up the heat.

Jackson thrives on lists, structure, and routine. He’s a devoted caregiver to his two younger sisters and prefers life behind the scenes. Delilah, by contrast, is spontaneous, optimistic, and a little accident-prone. She’s often dismissed as “too much,” while Jackson worries he’s not enough. Together, they create a beautiful balance—chaos meeting calm in a way that allows both of them to grow.

Their relationship unfolds with mutual respect and emotional honesty. The tension builds naturally, the steamy moments feel earned, and the romance never overshadows the story’s deeper themes of ambition, family responsibility, and self-worth.

Jackson quietly steals the show—steady, dependable, and endlessly supportive—while Delilah remains fiercely committed to her dreams. Neither changes to fit the other; instead, they challenge each other to be braver and more authentic.

With cameos from First-Time Caller and hints at what’s next in the series, this is a warm, satisfying grumpy-meets-sunshine romance that delivers heart, heat, and a perfectly timed snowstorm. An easy recommendation!
