Wishing you another happy Friday!! Can you believe how fast this year has flown by? I’m keeping with the season this year and offering the first line from another Christmas book. Drop me the first line of the book nearest you then head on over to our host’s site and see what everyone else is sharing this week.
First Line:
Lexie Grant’s father had to pick today, of all days, to come back from the dead.
About the Book
When his ex is thrust into the crosshairs of a deadly syndicate, FBI agent Gavin McKade will do whatever it takes to protect her. Even work the case with his stubborn sheriff dad. Gavin’s holiday homecoming isn’t exactly warm and fuzzy, but he must set aside the past to make sure Lexie Grant survives. As if protecting Lexie from professional killers isn’t difficult enough, the unlikely reunion has rekindled their complicated romantic connection. But if Gavin can’t untangle Lexie from this dangerous web, the blurring line between duty and love may not matter…because this Christmas could be their last.
That’s a creepy first line. I am really liking the Love Inspired series right now!
Happy Friday!
On my blog I’m sharing the first line from Gina Holder’s debut novel “Whither Shall I Go?” so do stop by and check that out! I’ll share with you here the first line of a book that has been on my TBR for several months, I really loved this book!
“The little hairs on the back of Allegra Spencer’s neck stood at attention. He was behind her.”
-Count Me In (An Emerald City Romance #1) by Mikal Dawn
I so need to bump Mikal’s book up on my TBR list!
Happy Friday! 🙂
My mother’s name was Sarah. – Take This Cup by Bodie and Brock Thoene
Oh man. That’s an intense first line. I need to read this. Added it to my TBR.
I’m sharing about Land of Silence by Tessa Afshar on my blog today, but I’ll share a book that is on my TBR here.
“Come on, come on. I know you’re here somewhere,” Magdalena Henry murmured, squinting through the viewfinder of her camera at the ragged line of coffee pickers sorting their day’s yield.
-Ascension of Larks by Rachel Linden
I can’t believe how far we are into December! Happy Friday!
Happy Friday!
My 1st line is from Shattered Memories by Debbie Lynne Costello:
“Why can’t you have him arrested and demand our money back?”
I’m a big romantic suspense fan, and this definitely sounds as though it ticks all the boxes. Thanks for sharing!
I’m sharing from The House on Foster Hill by Jamie Jo Wright on my blog, but had to put it down because nighttime and suspense and a need to sleep. So I’m currently reading something a little lighter: Holding the Fort by Regina Jennings. Here’s the first line:
The fumes of the gaslights at the foot of the stage protected Louisa Bell from the more noxious odors of her audience.
Just the kind of lighthearted read I enjoy! The weather forecast for the weekend is looking bright and sunny, so I’m planning to get back into The House on Foster Hill when the sun comes out 🙂
yay! I love Susan’s books!
My current first line is from Julie Lessman’s For Love of Liberty – “Abominable.” 🙂
Water: Book One of the Water Series by Emory Gayle
Prologue: “My lungs burned.”
Good first line!
I am sharing the first line from the YA Christian Dystopian novel All Things Now Living by Rondi Bauer Olson on my blog. Here I will post the first two lines from the novel I am starting next, Count Me In by Mikal Dawn:
“The little hairs on the back of Allegra Spencer’s neck stood at attention. He was behind her.”
That’s definitely an intriguing first line. I’ll share the first line from a nonfiction book I’m currently reading. Pastoral Letters by Robert Murray McCheyne. “To all of you, my dear friends, and people who are beloved of God and faithful in Christ Jesus, your pastor wishes grace and peace from God the Father, and Jesus Christ our Lord.” Sounds like the beginning of an epistle in the Bible, doesn’t it? He was an amazing man of God who accomplished much in the short span of life given to him.
