First Line Friday: Far Side of the Sea

March 15, 2019 by Suzie Waltner 8 Comments

 

It’s Friday again! I love the kind of Friday today will be. We’re throwing a little bridal shower for a coworker at the office today so it will help pass the time quickly. 

I just finished the audiobook for Kate Breslin’s new release. I have loved every one of Breslin’s stories and look forward to each release.

First Line FridayAbout the Book

In spring 1918, Lieutenant Colin Mabry, a British soldier working with MI8 after suffering injuries on the front, receives a message by carrier pigeon. It is from Jewel Reyer, the woman he once loved and who saved his life–a woman he believed to be dead. Traveling to France to answer her urgent summons, he desperately hopes this mission will ease his guilt and restore the courage he lost on the battlefield.

Colin is stunned, however, to discover the message came from Jewel’s half sister, Johanna. Johanna, who works at a dovecote for French Army Intelligence, found Jewel’s diary and believes her sister is alive in the custody of a German agent. With spies everywhere, Colin is skeptical of Johanna, but as they travel across France and Spain, a tentative trust begins to grow between them.

When their pursuit leads them straight into the midst of a treacherous plot, danger and deception turn their search for answers into a battle for their lives.

    Happy Friday and weekend! My first line is from “KNOX: The Montana Marshalls” by Susan May Warren:

    “Oh goody, now Knox go to watch his trouble-making little brother break his ornery neck.”

    Happy Friday!

    Today on my blog I am sharing the first line from A Hero for Miss Hatherleigh by Carolyn Miller: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2019/03/14/first-line-friday-79/. I am really enjoying the story! I am currently in the middle of chapter 19, so I will leave a line from that chapter.

    “Gideon waited in the drawing room, not daring to sit down, not daring to pace as he’d like to, in case the stoic footman at the door see him and make a fuss. What was taking her so long?”

    Hope you have a great weekend. Happy reading!

    This one is definitely on my TBR!
    Today on my blog I shared the first line from Fated by Teri Terry but I’m currently reading Dead Letter by Chautona Havig. I just started so I’ll share the first line from chapter 2 where I currently am: “Hard benches, spartan furnishings, packed conditions—though she’d purchased a second-class ticket as instructed, Madeline couldn’t help but feel like she’d gotten little better than emigrant car accommodations.” Hope you have a great weekend! Spring is in the air! 🙂

    That book is on my wish list!

    Today I’m sharing the first line from The Memory House by Rachel Hauck:

    “She was never afraid of the dark. But the light? Now that terrified her.”

    Have a great weekend!

    Happy Friday 🙂

    I really can’t wait to read this one.

    On my blog today I’m sharing the first line from Christmas at the Red Door Inn by Liz Johnson: “Brooke Kane knew better than to venture far from home when there was threat of a blizzard.”
