My First Line:

Mail-Order Princess by Jessia Day George

Elise arrived in the New World with nothing but two trunks and a very large wooden crate.

This cover is just beautiful! Definitely fairty-tale worthy.

Switching genres completely to some romantic suspense, here are the first couple lines from one I recently finished:

Her head throbbed and grogginess gripped her. She rocked as if on giant waves. (from Thread of Revenge by Elizabeth Goddard)

Well, that is definitely a twist on the mail order bride theme. Color me curious.

I’m sharing the first line from Anne Mateer’s No Small Storm over on my blog, so I’ll share a different line here. It’s from A Bride At Last by Melissa Jagears:
Missouri
September 1885
At the sound of running footsteps, Kate Donovan glanced up from dumping mop water in the alleyway outside the school building.
Happy weekend!

Happy Friday! My first line is from Kizzie’s Kisses by Zina Abbott:

“Kizzie Atwell felt her breathing become more labored.”

That cover is gorgeous!

Over on my blog, I'm sharing the first lines from the three novellas in A Night in Grosvenor Square. It's a new Timeless Regency Collection. I'm 1/2 way done, and I'm loving it so much. Currently, I'm starting chapter 5 in the second story, so I'll share that first line here:

"In spite of Anne's attempts to distract herself from thoughts of Davis Whitledge, hours of repetitive work allowed her mind to drift."
