Happy Friday! I’m pet/housesitting for a friend this weekend which means more reading time (because I won’t have the distractions of my home all around me). What are your plans for the weekend?
This week I’m sharing from Kyle Hunter’s new book (which I haven’t read yet but is on my never-ending TBR). She invites readers to spend some time in France once again.
About the Book
Lauren is at a turning point. If only she knew where to turn. Her long-term relationship with Mark is fading fast. Instead, she feels drawn to Jean-Pierre, an attractive Frenchman she’d met the previous summer. When she’s laid off from her job as a chef, she decides to go see him in Provence, France.
Mark can’t get Lauren out of his heart, even though it’s been close to a year since she asked him to give her space. When she goes to France, he’s afraid he’ll lose her for good. That is, until he decides to go there, too, as a last-ditch effort to win her back.
At first, Lauren is angry that Mark follows her to France. But a joint desire to help a young refugee boy leads them to work together. Lauren finds herself torn between the two men. Worse, she’s confronted with obstacles in helping the boy and even greater obstacles within herself.
Now it’s your turn! Grab the book nearest you and drop the first line in the comments. Then head over to Hoarding Books and discover what others are sharing this week!
Happy Friday! My first line is from “When He Returns” by author Kimberly Rae Jordan, which I haven’t started, but hope to start reading soon:
Prologue
“Dalton Callaghan stared at the gleaming wood casket at the front of the chapel, the profile of his friend just barely visible over the edge as he lay there.”
I’m so very glad today is Friday! It has been a long week! Over on my blog, I’m sharing the first line from Michelle Griep’s new book, The Noble Guardian. Here I’ll share the first line of a book that is on my #TBR mountain.
“Tommy, wait!” Carly Blair screeched as she bounded off the depot platform after her brother.
Mail Order Refuge by Cindy Regnier
Happy Friday!
Today on my blog I am sharing the first couple of lines from The Printed Letter Bookshop by Katherine Reay. It’s a fabulous story that I highly recommend. Currently, I am just starting Wooing Cadie McCaffrey by the fantastic Bethany Turner so I will share a line from that book.
“What a difference four years can make.”
I hope your weekend is a great one. Happy reading!
Just finished The Printed Letter Bookshop. Katherine Reay always delivers!
Have a fun time petsitting! I’ll be on a work retreat with the youth group this weekend so I’m the opposite and won’t have time to read.
On my blog today I shared the first line from Living Lies by Natalie Walters. Here I’ll hare the first line from The Heart of a King by Jill Eileen Smith which I just received in the mail yesterday 🙂 “The teacher looked at his scroll, light dancing in little ringlets over the words from the flickering candle at his side.” Hope you have a great weekend! Happy Reading!
My June weekends are filling up with non-reading activities too. Plus I need to be getting some writing time in there too. Can we ask for 48 hour days?
Pet-sitting…how fun!! I love the cover of this book…it reminds me of France. 🙂 Happy Friday friend!
Happy reading Friday!
My first line is from The King’s Mercy by Lori Benton:
July 1747
Cape Fear River, Colony of North Carolina
Alex MacKinnon roused to the press of wood beneath his cheek and an ominous churning in his gut.
Happy Friday! Today I’m sharing the first lines from The Crossing at Cypress Creek by Pam Hillman:
“Caleb O’Shea jerked awake to utter stillness.”

Happy Friday! I’m sharing from The Cowboy Meets His Match by Margaret Brownley on my blog today. Here is the first line from Chapter 12 of my current read, Becoming Mrs. Lewis by Patti Callahan:
“The second day in Oxford arrived, luminescent, the honey-hues of sunlight falling from the leaves to settle on the grass like spilled paint.”
