Happy Friday, y’all!
Time to grab the book nearest to you and leave a comment with the first line!
Last week we mixed it up a bit – and we’ll do that again next week – but this week I’m tired (lol) and uncreativeish so we’re resorting back to the old standby for today đ
The book I’m featuring today is A Promise in Defiance by Heather Blanton.
And the first line is….
“I don’t know, Matthew.”
(You can enter to win a copy of A Promise in Defiance by checking out my interview with Heather Blanton!)
So… what’s your First Line on this Friday?
Let me know in the comments and then head over to these friends to see their First Lines:
If you’d like to join us on your blog for First Line Fridays, shoot me an email and let me know! đ
“The Atlantic water rushed past her limbs in a silken caress.” Rosemary Cottage by Colleen Coble. I’m a little slow with this book, because it’s a hard print copy and too hard to read in bed at night. Each night I wish I had it on my kindle so I could keep reading!
I love that series!! Colleen’s books are great!
I read A Lady in Defiance recently and loved it! My first line this week is “The hottest day of the summer so far was drawing to a close and the drowsy silence lay over the large, square houses of Privet Drive.” Can you guess which book it is from?
Order of the Phoenix of course đ
đ I know easy peasy! We listened to the Prisoner of Azkaban on or trip… LOVED!!!
yay!!
“Uncle Truck keeps a German shepherd on his farm that’ll eat human fingers if you if you feed ’em to it just right.” Annabel Lee (A Coffey & Hill Novel) by Mike Nappa
i want to read that one!
I typoed – the book does not say “if you” twice! I’m twelve pages in and liking it so far đ
Haha! That’s ok. Typos are allowed this week đ
How nice of you to share about book one in the series I am reading. đ
“Never had the sound of falloping horses brought Chief Ouray anything but death and disaster.”
~Hearts in Defiance by Heather Blanton

“Pretty as a peach,” drawled a deep voice above the burble of the creek. – Gilding the Waters by Catherine Richmond.
oooo another one I need to read!
“Dru lifted her handgun, leveling it on Gray’s stalker as she rushed forward through the crowd.” — Her One And Only by Becky Wade. Great way to start a book!
yaaaay! I love that book!
Dear Neil, I’ve started this email several times, and I know that doesn’t mean a lot because you’ve yet to receive a completed draft, but it’s true. ~from Together at the Table by Hillary Manton Lodge. Really enjoyed the first 2 in the series!
Another series I still need to read!! Ack! Lol
“This was your dire emergency? Seriously?” — Riverbend Road by RaeAnne Thayne. RaeAnne isn’t a Christian fiction author, but she is a friend and author of more than 50 books, at least one of which has hit the New York Times Top Ten list. She lives near me and is such a sweetheart! You might encounter a bit of swearing in her books (d and h words) but no steamy bedroom scenes.
Oh fun!!! I really need to check out her books!!
We only see what we want to see- in people, in love, and in life. – The Ringmaster’s Wife by Kristy Cambton. I only have about 70 pages left. Great read!
yay! I’m reading this one soon!
Harrison Gray had never heard of anyone holding a competition over mounting or dismounting a horse, but then, Charlotte Andrews could turn anything into a contest.
“Engaging The Competition” by Melissa Jagears in the “With This Ring Collection”
I loved that book!
I love that collection!! Yes!!
