First Line Friday

Posted by abakersp in First Line Friday / 9 Comments

Happy Friday friends!! I am very excited to share not one, not two, but FOUR first lines with you today! WHAT!? Go big or go home right? I’ve been away from First Line Fridays for a long time. There’s been some personal things going on that have prevented me from doing extras on the blog. Those things are now behind me (YAY!) and I can return to a normal schedule.

Back to today’s post. Thank you Hoarding Books for hosting this weekly post. I love seeing what everyone is reading! Yesterday was Valentine’s Day, and it just so happens it was the release day for a group of novellas that are amazing. These four authors certainly know how to write romance stories, and when they are inspired by some of my favorite fairy tales, well I knew it was going to be a slam dunk. Oh my word, I cannot read these fast enough. Ladies, get your fans ready because you are going to need them! Wowza!! I’ll just leave it at that šŸ˜‰

Finding Ever After

Between Stairs and Stardust:

Sunset and sunrise captured the magnificent country chateau best.

Entanglements:

Once upon a time, Father Francisco told Nic Ricci that to find math in music he merely had to look to Mozart.

Twice Upon A Time:

Under no circumstances would she fall for him again.

Once Bitten:

If wishes were apples, she could have baked two tarts by now.

Now itā€™s your turn to share your first line! Grab the book nearest to you and share the first line in the comments. Donā€™t forget  to check out what everyone else is reading at Hoarding Books!

    My first line is from A Desperate Hope by Elizabeth Camden

    Summer 1896

    Alex Duvalā€™s first hint of trouble was when Eloise failed to appear at their hideaway.

  2. Iā€™m sharing a new release on Faithfully Bookish but hereā€™s the first line from chapter 2 of my current read, Once Bitten by Betsy St. Amant of the Finding Ever After novella collection: ā€œHe was going to stand her up.ā€

  3. Happy Friday!

    Today on my blog, I am sharing the first line from Brunch at Bittersweet Cafe by Carla Laureano. I am loving this book so much. Iā€™m currently just starting chapter 19, so I will share the first line from that chapter here.

    ā€œā€˜A bookstore?ā€™ Justin didnā€™t mean for his dismay to show in his voice when he pulled up in front of the address Melody had given him, but it escaped all the same.ā€

    Hope you have a really excellent weekend filled with relaxing reading time. ???

    Val Deniston waved good night to her last customer, relieved that theyā€™d ignored the elephant in the Cool Down CafĆ©. No one had rehashed Moniqueā€™s rant about her husbandā€™s affair with Nadia.
    BY COOK OR BY CROOK by Maya Corrigan

  5. Oh my, I just love those! I want to read this collection! Here’s the first line of A Desperate Hope by Elizabeth Camden: “Alex Duval’s first hint of trouble was when Eloise failed to appear at their hideaway.”

  6. Happy Friday! Iā€™m sharing from my current read today, American Omens by Travis Thrasher (Uncorrected Proof). Her is the first line from Chapter 17 ā€œThe Same Pageā€:

    ā€œThe moment her father stepped foot in the barn that morning, Cheyenne couldnā€™t help but let loose with an uproarious laugh.ā€

    Happy Weekend! My first line is from “If Only It Were Yesterday” by A. M. Heath:

    “Oomph. Something solid bashed into my shoulder, knocking me off balance.”
