When Love Calls is Anja Pruitt's debut novel and I have to say she did a great job with it. I found it to be well written and some of the characters hardships were totally relatable. The characters are very likable and all hold a significant part in the development of the story line.Erin is a 36 year old pediatric surgeon. She jumps from guy to guy, never being able to commit to just one. When she finally decides that she wants more for her life. She wants to love someone and to be loved in return. But more than anything she wants the chance to have a family. And she realizes that if she continues down the same road she is currently on, that will not happen. When she realizes that she does not love her job, she decides to take a leave of absence, to explore more about herself and try new things. She finds a bucket list that she wrote several years earlier and decides that she is going to complete it. With the help of her amazing girlfriends, she sets out to find out who she truly is.Along the way she meets Mike and Josh, both men awaken her desire to have more in her life. But when Mike and her lose touch, she decides to put everything she has into making a relationship with Josh work. Only to find out that Josh has demons of his own that he needs to deal with. Thinking that space is the best ting for both of them, they take a break. It is then that Mike comes back into the picture and Erin really needs to decide if she can see a future with either of these men.When Love Calls is a story about friendship, letting go, freedom to be who you truly are and above all love. Not just the love that you have for someone else of the love that they give you in return, but learning to love yourself and realizing that it is ok to make mistakes and that you need to forgive yourself for decisions that you made in your past. With the help of a great therapist and an amazing cast of friends and two very hot men, Erin embarks on an adventure to truly learn who she is and what she wants out of her life.I really enjoyed this book. Well written and heartfelt, and unique, I highly recommend it. Well done Anja! I am excited to see what you come up with next.
