 Grab the book nearest to you and leave a comment with the first line! Today I am going to post a line from The Sound of Diamonds by Rachelle Rea (Cobb) This is book one of the Steadfast Love series. It is a fantastic young adult historical romance novel. Add the books to this series to your GOODREADS TBR pile.  In Reformation-era England, a converted rogue wants to restore his honor at whatever cost. Running from a tortured past, Dirk Godfrey knows he has only one chance at redemption. An independent Catholic maiden seeking refuge in the Low Countries finds herself at the center of the Iconoclastic Fury. Jaded by tragedy, Gwyneth's only hope of getting home is to trust the man she hates, and she soon discovers her poor vision is not the only thing that has been blinding her. But the home Gwyneth knew is not what she once thought. When a dark secret and a twisted plot for power collide in a castle masquerading as a haven, will the saint and the sinner hold to hope...or be overcome? My first line: Leiden, the Low Countries, the Netherlands 23 Autust 1566 A crash shook the nun's cell I had called my own since seeking refuge in my mother's homeland. What are you reading? What is your first line?

Happy Friday! My first line is: “For a moment she couldn’t breathe, and then the barest whisper passed her lips – half spontaneous praise half simple awe. ‘Oh my… I’ve found Paradise!’ ” From Spring Raine by Delia Latham

"You have one month to pay the debt," Captain Foxe stated, his tone as rigid as the plate armor her wore. Or we will attack Maidstone and claim what you owe by force."

The line I’m going to share with you here is different than the one featured on my blog post. This book is one that my 9 year old son is currently reading for the second time. Comments are closed.
