First Line Fridays -- 05.12.17 -- True to You

Grab the book nearest to you and leave a comment with the first line!

Today I am going to post a line from

True to You
by Becky Wade

​This is book one in Becky Wade's new series, Bradford Sisters Romance.  I am thrilled because the series title mentions "sisters," likely meaning each of the books in this series will be about a different sister.  I cannot wait to see what Wade does with this series!!

Exciting Start of a Brand-New Series by a Contemporary Romance Fan Favorite 

After a devastating heartbreak three years ago, genealogist and historical village owner Nora Bradford has decided that burying her nose in her work and her books is far safer than romance in the here and now.

Unlike Nora, former Navy SEAL and Medal of Honor recipient John Lawson is a modern-day man, usually 100 percent focused on the present. But when he's diagnosed with an inherited condition, he's forced to dig into the secrets of his past and his adoption as an infant, enlisting Nora to help him uncover the identity of his birth mother. 

The more time they spend together, the more this pair of opposites suspects they just might be a perfect match. However, John's already dating someone and Nora's not sure she's ready to trade her crushes on fictional heroes for the risks of a real relationship. Finding the answers they're seeking will test the limits of their identity, their faith, and their devotion to one another.

I love that first line. And the book is a great read!

I have the first line from Tamara Leigh's 'The Vexing' on my blog today, but I'm going to leave you with the first line from 'Still Falling' by Crystal Walton, releasing on 17th May:

"On his way to their squad car, NYPD Officer Josh D'Angelo fanned away a sense of dread rising with the steam coming through the subway grates."

Happy Friday :-)

On my blog today I'm sharing a line from Pepper Basham's book The Thorn Healer. I wanted to share something different in the comment, so I'm choosing a book that my son is currently reading.

"As soon as she heard the first pop, pop, pop of the distant muskets, the young mother extinguished the morning fire and closed and barred the cabins shutter." Abandoned on the Wild Frontier (The Trailblazer books) by: Dave & Neta Jackson Bethany House, 1995

True to You is a great book! Enjoy!

On my blog today is the first line from Irene Hannon’s Sea Rose Lane so I am going to leave the first line from Between the Reins by Liz Isaacson that is releasing on May 16th. “The barn door banged open as Gil, one of the male counselors, burst through it, “Owen, there’s a fight we need your help with.”

I want to read that book! I'm being a bit silly today in sharing the first line from,
Tender Wings of Desire ~ A Colonel Sanders Novella
Of all the things that Lady Madeline Parker disliked about her life, the one that constantly stuck in her brain was her hatred of embroidery.

Oh my goodness, I loved this book!! I mentioned on my review that I started talking about the characters like they were my family. Did you read the novella prequal? Loved that too!! Can't wait for the next installment....

Happy Friday! My first line is: “My heart beat as if it was trying to build up speed and erupt from my chest.” From Warfare:Life After Book 2 by Julie Hall. Coming out June 13th.

Haven't read that author yet. I'm currently in the middle of WAY too many books (like six...) but the one I'm trying to focus on is "Rags to Riches" novella collection.

My first line is from TURTLES IN THE ROAD, a humorous romance from mother/daughter duo Rhonda Rhea and Kaley Rhea. The book arrived yesterday, and I didn't get to crack it open until 1:00 AM...but I just HAD to start it before bed! The first chapter is hilarious...and Piper is my new BF! -- "Normally a nice long solo drive had a calming effect on Piper."

Loved that book! :)

My first line is:
“New York City
June 1857

Elise Neumann stared out the cracked third-story window to the muddy street below, watching the omnibuses and carriages slog their way through the muck.”
~With You Always by Jody Hedlund

Happy Friday! 🙂

I loved that book. I can't wait to read the rest of the series.

I'm sharing from Karen Kingsbury's Unlocked. "Tracy Harris adjusted her blue Walmart apron and checked her watch."
