Love Comes Calling by Siri Mitchell

A girl with the best of intentions. 
A heart set on Hollywood. 
An empty pocketbook.
 

 That's all it takes for Ellis Eton to find herself working as a telephone operator for a look-alike friend. For Ellis, this job will provide not only acting practice but the funds to get her a start in the movies. She's tired of always being a disappointment to her traditional Boston family, and though she can't deny the way he makes her head spin, she knows she's not good enough for Griffin Phillips, either. It's simple: avoid Griff's attentions, work, and get paid. But in typical Ellis fashion, her simple plan spirals out of control when she overhears a menacing phone call...with her very own Griff as the target.

I love fictional history novels!  This story begins in May of 1924.  Ellis Eton is the main character who is a bit frustrating but has good intentions and no money.  Thus to help out a friend she takes a job as a telephone operator and the mystery begins.  Overall I enjoyed this story and the characters of Ellis and Griff.  At times a bit slow moving, but the author ties up the story very well at the end and I was a satisfied reader.
