Today I am going to post a line from

Wrapped in Red: a Three Rivers Romance Novella
by Meghan M. Gorecki.

​​A Steel City holiday romance sure to melt your heart.
 
The holidays haven't been the easiest for Merry Grainger. Five years ago, she lost her grandfather and got dumped by her boyfriend right before Christmas. Each season since sees her determined to avoid getting hurt again, and so she keeps a steel-like grip on her hopeless romantic heart.
 
Music used to soothe Sam Shepard’s soul until the death of his biggest cheerleader broke his heart, family, and dreams into pieces. Now he’s focused on thriving in the city, and with the people, he’s grown to love—all to keep the hole in his heart from opening anew with every passing holiday season.

Thrown together by a church play and meddlesome family armed with mistletoe, will Merry and Sam unwrap their guarded hearts to let in the true hope of Christmas—and each other?

Love that cover and first line!

I’m sharing about The Austen Escape on my blog today, but the closest book to me is Christmas at Carton by Tamera Alexander, so I’ll use that here.

I have this e-book and want to read it during December.

Happy Friday!
My first line is from First Street Church Romances: Love’s Christmas Cheer by Alexa Verde:

“Hurting her co-chef wasn’t an option.”

Happy Friday!

Today, over on my blog, I am showcasing Cara Putman’s novel, Imperfect Justice. I am so excited to review this book. I have heard so many good things. On my site, I used the first lines from the prologue, so here I will share the first sentence from chapter 1.

“Emelie Wesley glanced at her watch and frowned.”

Happy December. Sounds like a sweet Christmas novella.

My first line comes from a book on my TBR list by Lynda Wilcox. Strictly Murder is the first book in the Verity Long Mystery series.

The compressed sand burned my bare feet as I ran towards the crystal clear blue water with brilliant sunlight cascading down upon it.

Great cover and first line - this sounds like exactly my kind of novel! Thanks for sharing.

I'm sharing from The Last Summer by Brandy Bruce on my blog today. Great book!

I'm currently reading Out of the Ordinary by the always-witty Jen Turano. Here's the (long) opening line:

Slipping through the crowd gathered on the upper deck of a most extravagant yacht, Miss Gertrude Cadwalader drew in a breath and adopted an air of what she hoped would be taken for nonchalance.

With a start like that, I'm expecting another winner!
