I wanted to feature another Love Inspired Historical book this week, because I just finished reading this story, and it was so wonderful! And if you are more curious about it, check back later, because I will post my review for this text this month. :) I hope all of you are having a lovely week and a great start to the month of May. Happy reading!
Grab the book nearest to you and leave a comment with the first line!
Today I am going to post a line from:
Last Chance Wife
by Janette Foreman
And the first line is...
Deadwood, Dakota Territory
September 1878
"In case of trouble, call upon Mr. Ewan Burke at the Golden Star Mine in Deadwood."
Happy reading and happy Friday!
Let me know your first line in the comments & then head over to Hoarding Books to see who else is participating!
I am having a lovely week, thank you! Same to you.
ReplyDeleteI'm featuring the first line from Susan May Warren's 'Storm Front' on my blog, but right now I'm going to give you the first line from 'A Worthy Groom' by Angela K. Couch, which is part of 'The Backcountry Brides Collection':
"The first shovelful of dirt struck Samuel's crude hickory box, but Lorinda Cowden didn't flinch."
Novella collections...my favorite. :) Happy Thursday!
DeleteHappy Friday!😀
ReplyDeleteToday my FLF is from a book I will be reading very soon, An Awakened Heart by Jody Hedlund.
“Stop prostituting yourselves and run to the loving Father who will embrace you with forgiveness.” Reverend Bedell’s voice rose above the sniffles and muffled weeping of the women crowded on trestle benches of Centre Street Chapel.
Have a great weekend and Happy Reading!📚😀
I've mentioned it before, but I want the purse she is holding on the front cover. :) Happy Thursday!
DeleteThis sounds like a great story. I look forward to reading your review!
ReplyDeleteOver on my blog I'm sharing the first line from Mary Connealy's The Accidental Guardian. Here I'll share the first line from chapter 8 of the same book.
"A scream jerked Trace awake."
Have a wonderful weekend!
That's a great opening line! I definitely want to know what happens next. :) Happy Thursday!
DeleteI keep seeing this one around and need to pick it up.
ReplyDeleteI'm currently reading His Surprise Son by Allie Pleiter: "Here comes the bride. For Jean Matrim, the arrival of Matrimony Valley's first bride was a victory."
Have a terrific weekend!
That sounds like the beginning of a very interesting book. :) Happy Thursday!
DeleteHappy Friday! My first line is from Storm Front (Montana Rescue Book #5) by Susan May Warren:
ReplyDelete“Ty Remington blamed the homemade orange marmalade cake for why he found himself huddled under an overhang off some faraway path in Glacier National Park, shivering, praying he might live through the night.”
Orange marmalade cake! That sounds delicious! I will have to look up a recipe for that--I just made my first batch of banana bread yesterday. :) Happy Thursday!
DeleteI need to read this one!
ReplyDeleteI'm featuring Pepper Basham's, "A Twist of Faith" on my blog today. Since I have Lindsay Harrel's, "The Heart Between Us" in front of me, I'll share my first line from here.
"Amy says in order to move forward, I have to stop clinging to past."
Have a great weekend and happy reading!
How true that first line is and yet how difficult it can be to put that statement into action. Thanks for the reminder! Happy Thursday!
DeleteOn my blog today, I'm featuring "The Substitute Wife" by Dorothy Clark. Here, I will share the first line of Chapter Three in "A Civil Contract" by Georgette Heyer, the book I'm currently reading. "When Adam left Mount Street Lord Oversley suffered some qualms of conscience, fearing that he had raised hopes that he might presently be obliged to dash to earth." I love this authors writing style. Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of books by Georgette Heyer--I love the covers! Happy Thursday!
DeleteThe book I'm sharing on my blog is The Road Home by Beverly Lewis but here I'll share the book I just finished today called A Higher Ransom by Aleigha C Israel: "Anna Haddington took a deep breath of the salty air."
ReplyDeleteI love that first line! Either Anna is about to embark upon a grand adventure, or she is moving on from her past--such possibilities! Happy Thursday!
DeleteI'll have to look into this one. So sad that the Historicals line is ending.
ReplyDeleteI'm sharing from my current read, No Less Days by Amanda G. Stevens, on my blog today, so here is the first line from an upcoming read, Reclaiming Shilo Snow by Mary Weber:
"The moment Earth's United World Council officially placed seventeen-year-old Sofi Snow at the top of their Imminent Terrorist Threat list, a siren went off in the circular downtown building, and she became the most wanted teenager alive."
Happy Friday!
I'm incredibly sad that the historical line is ending too, because there are so many amazing books in that collection. Happy Thursday!
DeleteWell, that opening line is just asking for trouble!
ReplyDeleteToday I'm sharing the first line of That's Amore by Marion Ueckermann on my blog. It's the first book in the new multi-author Tuscan Legacy series. I'm now reading the third book, Rapsodia (Rhapsody) by Alexa Verde. Here's the first line:
Marco Carter would rather spend a day in a pit with snakes than an hour on a plane.
Personally, I love flying and hate snakes. What about you?
Even though I hate flying, I would rather be in an airplane--lol! Happy Thursday!
DeleteOh, Deadwood. Definitely a place I would not have wanted to be at that time. Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteGood point--lol. Happy Thursday!
