When a brutal attack from a jealous competitor leaves Noah
Strauss, darling of the modeling world, physically scarred and emotionally
damaged, he quits the runway to become a psychologist. Using his contacts from
his time in the spotlight, he creates One Call Away, a radio show dedicated to
gay men looking for love, advice or someone to talk to. But with secrets of his
own and a mother who refuses to understand the career path he's chosen, the one
person Noah can't seem to help is himself.
On a drunken dare from the senior partner's grandson, Oren Leavitt calls Noah’s radio show, pretending to be gay. Only Oren isn't certain if he's pretending. He's left his strict Orthodox Jewish upbringing behind, but the guilt remains. Guilt that his actions have prevented his sister from finding a husband and guilt that he's failed his parents. Talking to "Dr. Noah" helps, and as he finds himself calling the man again and again, he knows he must be honest. But Oren is unsure if he's lying to Noah or himself.
For Noah, trust is paramount; he's been deceived in his personal and professional life and while he desperately wants to help Oren, he also finds himself falling for the sweet and tortured man. Oren is trapped: he risks losing his job and more importantly the love and security of his family but knows he can't hide if he wants to be with Noah. When unresolved heartaches from the past rise up to control the present, Noah and Oren discover that love often comes from the most unexpected places, and sometimes a call for help not only saves a life, it can be a new and beautiful beginning.

Angie – ☆☆☆☆☆
Once again, Ms. Stevens gives us a very emotional book that gives you the feels. Once you start this book you just can’t wait to see if they get their happily ever after. This is a story about conquering hate and putting your trust in love conquers all. Noah and Oren are just so wonderful and you can’t help but fall in love with them and want everything to work. This book is low on angst and high on love.

Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is a very enjoyable read – in which both leads have to learn how to allow themselves to be happy. It is not an easy journey, as they are both living the life they feel they ought to, rather than the one they want, weighed down by both expectation and an inner voice of guilt. Whilst they are very different, the result is startling in its similarity, and I loved how they champion each other.
It is also an intensely sensual read, which may need an iced drink or fan to be at hand! Oren's passion for Noah is only matched by Noah's for him. And yet there is also a healthy dose of humour and fun in their burgeoning relationship. There are some fabulous side characters too – and if another book were to follow this group of people, there would be a few who could take the spotlight.
Beautifully written, and both sexy and serious, this is another hit from Ms. Stevens.
I have always been a romantic at heart. I believe that while life is tough, there is always a happy ending around the corner, my characters have to work for it, however. Like life in NYC, nothing comes easy and that includes love.
I live in New York City with my husband and two children and hopefully soon a cat of my own. My day begins with a lot of caffeine and ends with a glass or two of red wine. I practice law but daydream of a time when I can sit by a beach somewhere and write beautiful stories of men falling in love. Although there is bound to be a few bumps along the way, a Happily Ever After is always guaranteed.
