Happy Friday!

to prepare to get out for two reasons."
What could be the two reasons why Dwayne needs a few extra moments before getting out of the truck? I am about half way through right now and really liking the characters and enjoying the direction of this story so far. The review for this book will be coming up around the end of the month.
Now it's your turn!
Let me know your first line in the comments and then head over

I don't know that I've read any of Liz Isaacson's novels yet. I must check them out.
ReplyDeleteI'm sharing the first line from April Gardner's latest release, Love the War Woman, on my blog, but right now I'm reading a romantic suspense called 'Panama Deception' by Jennifer Haynie. Here's the first line:
"He was next."
Short and maybe not so sweet!
Haven't heard of either book you mentioned, will have to check them out.
DeleteMy first line that I am featuring on my blog today is from Melody Carlson's Once Upon a Winter's Heart, but the first line of the book I'm reading is from Robin Lee Hatcher's "You're Gonna Love Me": "Samantha Winters parked her car in the Caldwell Hospital parking lot."
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed Robin Lee Hatcher's book. Have a great weekend.
DeleteI've seen Liz Isaacson's name around a lot lately.

Happy Friday!

DeleteMy first line is from Heart on the Line by Karen Witemeyer:
ReplyDeleteThe cheerful tinkle of a bell alerted Grace Mallory to the arrival of a guest.
Loved Heart on the Line! I need to read more by Karen Witemeyer.
DeleteWhat are his two reasons? That first line causes one to want to keep reading. The book I'm featuring on my blog is Rumors and Promises by Kathleen Rouser. Since I'm on chapter 14, I'll share the first line from that chapter here. "I insist that you stay here and rest today, Sophie." Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'll give you one of the reasons... its the middle of summer in Texas and his truck has a/c. The second reason is more complex. Thanks for visiting.
DeleteWell, I want to know what the two reasons are too! :) Happy Friday!

DeleteThat does make you want to know! I'm sharing from the Seven Brides for Seven Texas Rangers Romance Collection (read through NetGalley) today. Here's the first line from Partners in Crime by Vickie McDonough:
ReplyDelete"Run, Laurel. Run!"
I've been intrigued by this collection, I like the concept that the novella's share characters.
DeleteHappy Friday!
ReplyDeleteToday on my blog I am sharing the first line from the new novella by Bell Renshaw, As Easy As Riding A Bike. It's a really fun read.
I am currently reading The Captain's Daughter by Jennifer Delamere. I am LOVING this story so much. I am just beginning chapter 7, so I will leave that first line here:
"Rosalyn drew the blanket around her to ward off the chilly night air as the carriage moved briskly down the near-empty streets."
Thanks for visiting.
DeleteWhat a sweet cover!
ReplyDeleteI'm featuring Kill Shot by Susan Sleeman on my blog. I'll share here from the book I'm currently reading, Focus on Love by Candee Fick:
Elizabeth Foster ripped the Christmas wrapping paper from the box on her lap.
Thanks for visiting.

Happy Friday and Happy Reading
Thanks for visiting.
DeleteYou had me at 'cowboy' ;)
ReplyDeleteMy current first line is from Missy Tippens' new novella "Her Valentine Reunion" (in the Back to You collection) - In a preemptive strike against the Valentine's Day funk that hit her every year in February, Abbie Rogers had been working on her latest craft project she'd dubbed Operation Kill Cupid."
There is definitely something about cowboy's that just make us swoon :)
DeleteI know I’m late but yesterday was busy! Happy Weekend! My first line is from A Langhorne Romance (which is in Right Where We Belong collection) by Deborah Raney.
ReplyDelete“No sooner had Lily O’Neal plunged her hands into the sticky bread dough than the doorbell rang. Why did it always work that way?”
Poor Lily, I commiserate with her, the doorbell always seems to ring at the wrong time.
