Happy Friday & welcome to the First Line Friday link-up! It’s time to grab the book nearest to you and leave a comment with the first line. Today, I’m featuring the first line of The Sergeant’s Christmas Gift by Shelley Shepard Gray! I love her stories, and I love the Harlequin Heartwarming line so the combination of both has my bookish heart all giddy!
and the first line is…
“Hey, Sergeant, are you doing okay?”
Gets a Christmas miracle!
Christmas in Colorado would be magical…if Canadian Air Force sergeant Graham Hopkins wasn’t missing home. Volunteering as a Santa Tracker with NORAD, he’s able to comfort six-year-old Will Parnell and his widowed mother, Vivian. When Graham receives a gift certificate for a stay at Vivian’s B and B, the warmth between them brightens the holiday season. Suddenly, returning to Canada isn’t as appealing. But will being together take a Christmas miracle?
From Harlequin Heartwarming: Wholesome stories of love, compassion and belonging.

Go! Protect her! She’d said. Mary by Shannon McNear
The yellow and orange leaves swirled around in a light breeze as if they were dancing, then slowly fluttered to the ground for their finale.
A DOOMFUL OF SUGAR by Catherine Bruns
This comes from Mulberry Hollow by Denise Hunter. Two glaring realizations flashed through Wes Garrett’s mind as he blinked against the morning sunlight: he was alone in the camping shelter, and he was soaked to the skin. A few other insights struck–his head throbbed, his muscles ached, and despite the July heat, chills wracked his body.

Eric Larson had never seen such a sorry excuse for a town.
This weekend I’ve been reading a complimentary early copy of Where Dreams Reside by Heidi Chiavaroli. The first line is: I pressed the gas pedal harder as I passed the quaint sign that welcomed travelers to my hometown of Camden, Maine. ~ Have a great rest of the weekend!
