Stone Creek, Michigan, 1900. "Sophia Bidershem jerked awake as the train whistle blew." I wish you a wonderful weekend.

It sounds like it will be a lot of fun.<br /><br />Here, I will post from the novel I am currently reading, A Refuge Assured by Jocelyn Green. It is an AMAZING story that I am enjoying wholeheartedly. I am just starting chapter 29, so I will share the first two lines from this chapter.<br /><br />Asylum, Pennsylvania<br />July 1795<br /><br />Still damp with morning's dew, the cool earth soiled Vivienne's apron as she knelt in her garden, tugging weeds from between iris and yarrow.

I'm featuring A Passionate Hope by Jill Eileen Smith over on my blog. But here I'll share the first (few) lines from the book on top of my TBR pile, Steal Away Home by Billy Coffey. "We cross the river when I see in the rearview that the cabbie has something to say to me. His voice carries over the traffic and jackhammering and the bustle of the city: 'You ain't got a chance, you know that. Right? My guys, they'll murder ya.'"<br />Beckie B.http://rbclibrary.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2783682009179727009.post-20628564705058957602018-02-09T03:56:17.024-05:002018-02-09T03:56:17.024-05:00What a fabulous first line!

I love ice cream.)<br /><br />I've got the first line from The Saturday Night Supper club up on my blog, and I'm currently reading another great contemporary romance - Paper Hearts by Courtney Walsh. She's one of my new favourite authors. Here's the first line:<br /><br />"I can't believe she did this to me again." Abigail Pressman stared at the computer screen in disbelief.
