Lorna sat down with the hero (Lincoln Cole) and heroine (Hannah Gregory) who star in her new book, When Love Calls, and talked to them about their romance.

•  Lincoln, what's the most romantic thing you ever did for Hannah?

     I'm a romantic kind of guy. I like to show Hannah how I feel. I think the most romantic thing I did was take her to the top of the state capitol. She loves heights and the idea of flying, so it was the perfect spot.

• What's the most romantic thing you've done, Hannah?

     Hmmm. I'm not sure I've done anything in particular.

•  Where is the most romantic place you two have been?

     Hannah-Oddly enough, I think it was an aviary in a park. Lincoln has a way of turning even innocent bird names into flirtations. Oh, and I would have to say the trip to the dome of the state capitol. That's where he first told me he loved me.

• Do you two have a favorite romantic restaurant?

     Lincoln-I don't think we have a favorite, but I think we'd both agree our favorite food would be prepared by Hannah's sister, Charlotte. Boy, that girl can cook.

• How about a favorite song? Do you have one?

     Lincoln-No, I don't think so.

• Hannah, what's the most romantic gift Lincoln has ever given you?

     I never would have admitted this to Lincoln at the time, but including coffee beans in the groceries he had delivered to my sisters and me was a stroke of genius. I hadn't had any in weeks, and that first cup was perfect.

• How about you, Lincoln; what's the most romantic gift Hannah's given you?

     I'd have to say, sharing her sisters with me. The gift of a family has been a huge blessing.

• Hannah, what is Lincoln's favorite romantic vacation destination?

     I think Lincoln would love to travel the world. He's a man who loves knowledge and enjoys discovering new things. He likes challenges.

• Lincoln, what do you think would be Hannah's favorite romantic vacation destination?

     I think she'd love to visit the Wright brothers at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina because she's fascinated with flight. I'd love to take her there, but I'm not sure I could handle her actually flying one of those machines.

• What simple gesture does Lincoln do that melts you Hannah?

     All it takes is a touch from Lincoln to melt me and ignite me at the same time.

• Lincoln what is it that Hannah does that melts you every time?

     Hannah's smile. She is simply so beautiful.

• How soon after meeting Hannah did you know she was the one?

     I knew Hannah was the one way before she knew I was meant for her. You might say I grew on her.

• Hannah how long did it take for you to know Lincoln was the one for you?

  I didn't want Lincoln to be the one. He was the person the bank sent to tell me they were taking our home. It wasn't the best way to start a relationship.

• Who would you say is most romantic of the two of you?

     I'd say Lincoln is. He is very good at wooing people. He's good at reading them too, and he used both to win me.

• Hannah, what is the most caring thing Lincoln has ever done for you?

     He loved me and my sisters right from the start. He knew we were a package deal and accepted that.

• How about you, Lincoln?

     Hannah hid a truth from me because she was afraid it would hurt me. It caused problems for us, but I knew it came from her heart.

• Who said, "I love you" first?

     Lincoln did, and it was in the most romantic way.

• If you two end up married, where will you go on your honeymoon?

     Since I have two sisters to raise, our honeymoon couldn't be too long. I think we'd both enjoy a trip to the Grand Canyon.

When Love Calls.

     

Hannah Gregory is good at many things, but that list doesn't include following rules. So when she is forced to apply for a job as a telephone switchboard operator to support her two sisters, she knows it won't be easy. "Hello Girls" must conduct themselves according to strict-and often bewildering-rules. No talking to the other girls. No chatting with callers. No blowing your nose without first raising your hand. And absolutely no consorting with gentlemen while in training.

Meanwhile, young lawyer Lincoln Cole finds himself in the unfortunate position of having to enforce the bank's eviction of the three Gregory girls from their parents' home. He tries to soften the blow by supporting them in small ways as they settle into another home. But fiery Hannah refuses his overtures and insists on paying back every cent of his charity.

When one of Hannah's friends finds himself on the wrong side of a jail cell, Hannah is forced to look to Lincoln for help. Will it be her chance to return to her dreams of studying law? And could she be falling in love?

With historic details that bring to life the exciting first decade of the twentieth century, Lorna Seilstad weaves a charming tale of camaraderie and companionship that blossoms into love. Readers will get lost in this sweet romance and will eagerly look forward to championing each sister's dreams.

This sounds like a really fun read. 

And the cover is stunning!
