First Line Fridays


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

Today I am going to post a line from: 

  The Earl's Mistletoe Match
by Ashtyn Newbold



And the first line is...

"Andrew Dawson, the Earl of Whitfield, stood on the outskirts of the ballroom, surveying the crowd of unrecognizable people." 

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!

    My first line is from A Match For Emma by Pepper Basham:
    Molly Caudwell needed a perfect match, and Emma Mitchell was the woman to give the newest waitress her very own happily-ever-after.

    Happy Friday!
    This week on my blog I shared the first line from Echoes Among the Stones by Jaime Jo Wright but it's also my current read so I'll share the first line from chapter 22 here: "She was in no mood for a midnight stroll." Hope you have a wonderful weekend with plenty of quality reading time!

    Happy Saturday! Today, I'm currently reading On My Honour by Elizabeth John's, so I'll share from there.

    "Meg looked down at her hands, which were raw from lye soap. How did people do this every day?"

    Hope you're having a good weekend filled with awesome reading time and rest. 😊❤📖

    I haven't heard of that one. Today I'm sharing the first line from Unscripted by Davis Bunn: "The entire Beverly Hills jail was nonsmoking and air-conditioned."

      I've read a few stories by Davis Bunn--mostly when he co-wrote with Janette Oke. :) Happy reading Jolene!
