Today I am going to post a line from

My Heart Belongs in Fort Bliss Texas: Priscilla's ReveilleThe Elusive Miss Ellison
by Erica Vetsch

This book is soooo much fun! It takes place at a fort in Texas (as it states in the title) and it is centered around family relationships and of course there is romance! This is a great read that lovers of historical fiction will not want to miss!!

Watch for my review coming soon...

My first line:

Trans-Pecos Territory of West Texas, 1874

Only the army would think a place like this is worth defending.

The Silent Songbird
by Melanie Dickerson

And the first line is...

Summer 1384.
Berkhamsted Castle, Hertfordshire, England

Servants may marry whomever they want, but a king's ward has no freedom at all.

"Evangeline broke off the song she was singing. A lump rose in her throat."

Happy reading and happy Friday!

I loved that book.
Here's mine.
Thursday, August 26, 1847 Central Florida Wilderness
"She hated Florida but loved her husband."
First line from “With This Peace” by Karen Campbell Prough.
It is the third book in the series that tells the story of Ella Dessa.
Gritty, real, tragic

This sounds like an interesting but sad one.

Ha. Clearly she/he does not agree.

Here's mine:

A Most Inconvenient Marriage by Regina Jennings

February 1865
Gratiot Street Prison

“First, you’re going to write a good-bye letter to my sweetheart, and then you’re going to marry me.”

I've only read one of Erica's books so far (Cactus Creek) but I loved it!

My first line comes from Karen Sargent's upcoming release, Waiting for Butterflies:

"Maggie heard the key in the front door and looked at the clock on the nightstand: 1:48 a.m. Nearly twenty-four hours had passed since the phone had jarred her awake and Sam out of bed."
