First Line Fridays -- Tabitha's Folly
10/4/2018
Today I'm posting a line from Tabitha's Folly by Jen Geigle Johnson, book 5 in the Regency House Party: Somerstone Series. Add the series to GOODREADS. Purchase the series on AMAZON. My First Line: No one saw Tabitha standing in the doorway of her brother, Tauney’s, room. James, the valet, lifted clothes out of Tauney’s trunks in large stacks instead of loading them in. Neat, color-coordinated piles of breeches and jackets decorated the bedding, and Tabitha’s worry increased. What are you reading? What is your first line?

Today I'm posting a line from The Stable Master's Daughter by Sara Cardon, book 4 in the Regency House Party: Somerstone Series. Add the series to GOODREADS. Purchase the series on AMAZON. My First Line: Marjorie Fairchild stood perched in a tree and willed her secret love to come outside. Leaves spun in circles around her head. Her stomach grumbled from the scent of baking bread drifting from the estate’s kitchen below, but she ignored her traitorous body. She needed to tell Reginald how she felt before she left. She might never see him again. What are you reading? What is your first line?

9/21/2018
Today I'm posting a line from Mistaken Identity by Mindy Burbidge Strunk, book 3 in the Regency House Party: Somerstone Series. Add the series to GOODREADS. Purchase the series on AMAZON. Conrad Pinkerton, the Marquess of Kendal, despises society; the scheming, the guises, and the games they play. And yet, for his twin brother, he agrees to a temporary guise of his own, pretending to be his brother for a house party. Playing the fop should be easy, as long as he keeps everyone at a distance. But when he meets Jessica Standish, he wishes she didn’t think he was someone else. Jessica Standish has never been considered worthy by the ton and now that she and her mother are penniless, the chances of a good match seem out of reach. Even the matchmaking schemes of the Countess Du’Breven seem doomed to failure. This house party will change nothing, though it’s hard not to hope when she sees Lord Ian again. The connection between them grows, though he seems so different from the man she remembers. With his family name and fortune on the line, Conrad knows he should leave with his secret intact. After all, how can she truly love him if she thinks he’s someone else? My First Line: "Bloo…" Conrad Pinkerton, the Marquess of Kendal, cursed to himself. He reined in his horse at the sight of several carriages lining the drive of the massive house. If he waited his turn in line, he would surely be caught in the approaching downpour, just visible in the distance. He moved his horse to the side, the stables his destination, passing ladies dressed in all their finery as they exited their carriages. Servants followed behind, loaded down with trunks and boxes of varying sizes. Probably filled with bonnets of great extravagance and even less taste. What are you reading? What is your first line?

Today I'm posting a line from An Unlikely Courtship by Heidi Kimball, book 2 in the Regency House Party: Somerstone Series. Add the series to GOODREADS. Purchase the series on AMAZON. My First Line: Anthony yawned and stretched his legs, wishing carriages were built with men of his height in mind. Pulling up the window shade, he blinked against the incoming light. Heavy gray clouds hung low in the sky, threatening rain. He massaged a sore spot in his neck and wished he had chosen to ride instead. If only he’d known the weather would hold. A quick sweep of the scenery told him they’d already begun the long approach toward Somerstone Manor. What are you reading? What is your first line?

Today I'm posting a line from The Unwanted Suitor by Michelle Pennington, book 1 in the Regency House Party: Somerstone Series. Add the series to GOODREADS. Purchase the series on AMAZON. My First Line: Cornelia Greystock glanced at the ormolu clock that graced the wall over her dressing table and her whole body tensed with urgency. The exquisite timepiece was the Countess Du’Breven’s way of ensuring that her hired companion was ever aware of the time. The faint ticking of the clock movement further served to remind Cornelia that her time was no longer her own. Indeed, it was likely never to be again. What are you reading? What is your first line?
