Today I wanted to post a line from an author that is somewhat new to me...Amanda Cabot. I believe I have read some of her novellas, but I have not read any of her novels. Of course, after looking up her others stories, I added a few more books to my to-buy list. :) Has anyone read the Westward Winds Trilogy or the Texas Dreams Trilogy?

A Stolen Heart
by Amanda Cabot
And the first line is...
May 1880
"No matter what anyone said, she wouldn't believe this was a mistake. Lydia Crawford glanced at the other passengers, wondering whether her hours of sitting her, remaining silent but keeping a smile firmly fixed on her face, had done anything to lessen their hostility."
Happy reading and Happy Friday!
I think I have read one or two of Amanda Cabot's novels, but I can't remember which series they were in.
ReplyDeleteI've got the first line from Angela K. Couch's "The Patriot and the Loyalist" on my blog this week. :-)
I know...I just discovered that I have Paper Roses and The Oregon Trail Romance Collection on my Kindle. What a lovely surprise! :)
DeleteYour book sounds good!
ReplyDeleteMy first line is from For the Love of Grace by Kimberly Rae Jordan
“Grace Anderson stared straight ahead at the white wall of a small hospital room.”
What a suspenseful first line...but I want to know more. What happens next?
DeletePrologue
ReplyDeleteDublin, Ireland, 1916
She heard it before she felt it. Harsh air sucking through clenched teeth, the grunt of an arm raised, the soft swish of a hand slicing the air. - A HEART REVEALED by Julie Lessman
Happy Friday and Happy Reading!
That is such an amazing first line...great descriptive details. Happy Friday!
DeleteInteresting you should have Amanda Cabot this week. I've been eyeing her books for a while but haven't read any yet.

DeleteI'm starting The Memory of You by Catherine West today!

As most know, I love novella collections, and this is a great first line. I have to read this story now. :)
DeleteI have read a couple of Amanda Cabot's books, but don't remember the names of them. She is a very good author. My first line is “An angel of light stood before me, blonde, beautiful, one hand behind his back.” From Widow by Denise Weimer.
ReplyDeleteI am really enjoying this book, and I am so happy to have discovered another book of hers on my Kindle that I totally forgot about...I constantly purchase $.99 Kindle books. :)
DeleteI have read a few of Amanda Cabot's books. They are good!
ReplyDeleteMy first line is from The Viscount’s Proposal by Melanie Dickerson
May 1813
Was this the night she would actually die of tedium, triviality, and hypocrisy?
I love Melanie Dickerson's books! I am still reading her fairy tale series, but I want to read the Regency Spies collection next. :)
DeleteAll of those books you mentioned are new to me, but that probably is not a surprise :) Happy Friday!!
ReplyDeleteIt's always great to learn about new books...it means I get to buy more books! :) Happy Friday!
DeleteI like the cover. Very intriguing :) this author is new to me, I'll have to check her out!
ReplyDeleteI know...I was curious as to why the sign on the front of the building on the cover said sweets. :) Happy Friday!
DeleteHappy Friday!!!! I have seen this book floating around!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
