It’s the first Friday of Spring! I hope wherever you are, you are enjoying a little bit of sunshine. And we’re two weeks away from CFRR19!! Are you coming to Rockville, MD in April? I hope to meet you in person if you are!
My first line comes from Melody Carlson’s sweet, endearing romance that’s unlike any other romance I’ve read. These characters are so memorable and likable. I wish I could hang out with George and Willow in real life.
About the Book
When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it’s not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause–and finds herself falling for him in the process.
A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around–which to him seems like all too often. He’s not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them.
But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The question is, will his change of heart be too late for Willow?
With her signature heart and touches of humor, fan favorite Melody Carlson pens a story of two delightfully eccentric characters who get a second chance at life and love.

Today on my blog, I’m sharing the first paragraph from A Silken Thread by Kim Vogel Sawyer: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2019/03/21/first-line-friday-80/. Currently I’m reading Ladies of Intrigue by Michelle Griep, so I’ll share a line from there.
“Mr. Farris and the soldiers thundered off, but despite the danger disappearing into the dark, Helen’s heart still beat an irregular tattoo, for Isaac strode toward her.”
Hope you have a great weekend. Happy reading! ❤

On my blog today I shared the first line from When You Are Near by Tracie Peterson: https://thebeccafiles.com/2019/03/22/first-line-friday-53/ but I’m now currently reading The Baggage Handler by David Rawlings so I’ll share the first line from my current chapter (4) here: “David corralled his nerves and forced them into one knee, which bounced an erratic dance as he sat in the reception area of Sisyphus Financial’s top floor.” Hope you have a great weekend!
I just finished When You Are Near. It was a unique concept and I enjoyed it. Looking forward to book 2!
I haven’t read that one. Today I’m sharing the first line from The Lady of Tarpon Springs by Judith Miller:

My first line is from chapter 20 of A Hero for Miss Hatherleigh by Carolyn Miller.
Today had proved a day of wonders, enough to make Caroline almost believe there might be other miracles to be seen from this God the Kirbys trusted.
