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 Runaway Bride
by Jody Hedlund


And the first line is...

"Today she might meet the man she'd marry."  

Happy reading and happy Friday!

    Happy Friday!!
    Over on my blog I shared the first line from the Mayflower Bride by Kimberly Woodhouse
    "A splinter of wood pierced Mary Elizabeth Chapman's thumb as she crept behind her lifelong friend Dorothy Raynsford."

    I have the third book in the series to review I need to get the first two so I can get the whole story! This sounds good!

    Have a great Friday!

    Happy Friday! My first line is from “Murder in the Family” by Ramona Richards:

    ” ‘Aunt Liz, you can’t keep doing this. It’s going to get you killed.’ And it had.”

    I LOVED The Runaway Bride! Can't wait for the next book in that series. Today, I'm sharing the first line from Coming Home to Maverick by Sophia Summers: "Maverick dipped his hat lower against the hot Texas sun. A man's hat could hide a lot of things, unfortunately, not everything."
