Whew. Friday is FINALLY here! And so is FALL!!! YAY!
Since it’s Friday, it’s also time to grab the book nearest to you and leave a comment with the first line!
In honor of FALL, the book I’m featuring today is Can’t Help Falling by Kara Isaac (get it? Fall… falling…. I am so witty.)
And the first line is….
“It was like being in jail. But worse, because Emelia Mason had paid for it.”
Ok… yeah… that was two lines but I couldn’t leave you hanging after that first one! And if you’re a Narnia fan, you really need to go preorder this book ASAP!
So… what’s your First Line on this Friday?
Let me know in the comments and then head over to share your First Line with these friends:
And we have a brand new participant in our FLF lineup! Head over to Andi’s blog and give her an outstanding welcome đ
If you’d like to join us on your blog for First Line Fridays, shoot me an email and let me know!
Yay, this must mean it if Friday! Without you gals doing this, I would not know what day it is? đ
My first line: Deirdre O Leary strode down the wide corridor on the second floor of Manhattan’s Bellevue Hospital, her stomach quivering with each step.
From Love’s Fatihful Promise – Susan Anne Mason (Courage to Dream Book 3)

The Lost Heiress by Roseanna M. White
I’m almost done with this one! I LOVE that these books are so BIG!!!
Ahhhhh such a fantastic series!!
I’m on A Lady Unrivaled. I love they’re big, too, but they take FOREVER to read! That’s good, but also bad because I get behind! It’s really good so far!
Yay — first line Friday. And Yay we’re getting closer to Can’t Help Falling’s release date! Woot!
Here’s the first line in the novel I am reading now.
Ringing.

The scent of rain laced teh afternoon breeze as it shoved through summer-green trees, ramming ominous black clouds together like a craggy mountain ridge.
~The Wedding Shop by Rachel Hauck

There were few better pleasures in life, thought Jane Darling, than to sit on the screened side porch on a Saturday morning in June, in the white wicker chair, with her coffee and oatmeal and listen to the day wake up around here. (whew–long first sentence–almost the whole first paragraph too!)
They Danced On by Carre Armstrong Gardner
haha! that IS a long one – but it sounds like a lovely book too đ
Hi Carrie! Thanks for the welcome! Love your blog! I have Can’t Help Falling on my kindle for review. Love the cover!
My first line comes from Rachel Hauck’s new release A Royal Christmas Wedding that releases on October 18th.
If she closed her eyes, she could pretend nothing had changed at the Rib Shack since Daddy died.
can’t wait to read that one too!!! Yay!
The book nearest me just came in my mail. Where She Belongs by Johnnie Alexander. “In an upstairs room as neglected as all the others, AJ Sullivan flicked the grime from a broad fireplace mantel, then rubbed his fingers on his jeans. Mahogany.”
excellent series!!
I’ve had CHF on my pre-order list ever since I heard about it. Can’t wait!
Because he had once been human, the King of Under Stone sometimes found himself plagued by human emotions.
Princess of the Midnight Ball

I adore JDG!
I haven’t read any of this yet (time! time! time!!!), but I’m dying to.
Ha! I just got Close to You in the Mail! The Pathetic state of Allision Shire’s existence was perfectly summed up by the size-twelve prosthetic fee mocking her from the floor of the Mercedes minibus.
I adore that first line!! Haha!

I adored that book, Janet! Totally awesome!
PhD was not supposed to smell like this.

“No woman sets out to be wicked. I’m not sure I can say the same thing about men.”
– Delilah by Angela Hunt
Such an interesting Biblical fiction written from Delilah and Samson’s first-person point of view. I have enjoyed her Dangerous Beauty series immensely.
i still need to read this series!
Sheriff Cade O’Brien was heartily sick of shooting people. –The Sheriffs of Savage Wells by Sarah M. Eden
