Happy Friday Everyone :)
I hope you're all having a great week, and looking forward to the weekend.
Since it is Friday, it's time once again for First Line Friday, which is hosted over at Hoarding Books.
For today's first line, I'm going to be featuring a recent debut novel that I had the opportunity to read and review.
About The Book:
Adeline Rhodes has spent years locked away in a New Orleans apartment controlled by her criminal boyfriend. After a daring escape, she realizes just how far she has grown from the things in which she once believed.
Declan King has lived a life of solitude and duty for the U.S. Army. When the deaths of his grandparents bring him home to his family farm, he is forced into contact with people who know too much about his past to simply leave him alone.
When Adeline’s past catches up to her, the two strangers find themselves thrust into a fake relationship to protect Adeline from her vengeful ex. As their chance meeting begins a journey that heals old wounds, they struggle to stay ahead of the danger and deny their growing attraction to each other.
Declan will do anything to protect her, and failure isn’t an option when Adeline’s life is on the line.
My Thoughts:
Just as I am was a whirlwind from start to finish, and I found myself so invested into the story. I love when books keep me entertained from start to finish, and never leave me feeling like I have to drag myself through it. I really enjoyed Addie and Declan both as character's, and I thought their journey, their faith, and their relationship all came across as real to the reader, and that's something that's really important to me in selecting which books I choose to read. I fully reviewed this one on my blog last week which you can find here, and I highly recommend giving this one a chance, especially if you're a fan of romantic suspense.
First Line:
"Adeline dropped another piece of clothing and cursed herself for the delay."

ReplyDeleteToday on my blog I am sharing the first couple of lines from Becoming Us by Robin Jones Gunn: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2019/05/23/first-line-friday-88/. It’s the first book I’ve ever read by this author. So far I like it. I’m just getting into it, so I will share the first line from chapter 2 here.
“I returned to the great room and saw Jennalyn standing next to the kitchen counter.”
I hope you have a really great weekend. Happy reading! 🤗💜📚
Ahhh I'm so excited for this one! I've ready so many of Robin Jones Gunn's books, and I can't wait to get to this one! Are you enjoying it so far?
DeleteThanks so much for sharing, and I hope you have a great weekend :)
Happy Friday Kirby!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday! :)
DeleteHappy Friday! I'm sharing from A Modest Independence by Mimi Matthews today. Here is the first line from Chapter 10:
ReplyDelete"Jenny stood on the deck of the Indus, watching the ancient city of Alexandria come into view."
Happy Friday Yvette! Thanks so much for sharing!
DeleteI love this opening line. I'm instantly intrigued, and I now want to go look this book up on goodreads. :)
Happy Friday! Today I'm sharing the first line from Finding Beautiful by Rebecca Friedlander: “What would it look like to pack your bags and travel the world in search of true beauty?”

That's a very intriguing first line!
DeleteThanks so much for sharing :)
I hope you're having a great weekend!
I haven't heard of this one. I'll have to check it out :-)
ReplyDeleteMy first line this week comes from Flight of the Raven by Morgan L. Busse, but I'm also listening to Great Expectations by Charles Dickens in audio book format at the moment, so I'm going to share the first line from Chapter 51:
What purpose I had in view when I was hot on tracing out and proving Estella's parentage, I cannot say.
Have a great weekend!

Happy Sunday!
DeleteI've heard such great things about Flight of the Raven! It's definitely being added to my tbr shelf.
Great Expectations is a classic I actually haven't read yet, but I love the line you shared, and I know I need to get on with reading this one of these days. ;)
Thanks so for much for sharing, and I hope you're having a great weekend.
Sorry I'm a little late coming around this weekend! The book I shared on my blog this week is Vigilant by Sara Davison but it's also the book I'm currently reading so I'll share the first line from my current chapter (22) here: "Daniel stared at the computer screen like he'd been doing for hours, his mind racing." Hope you have a wonderful weekend with plenty of quality reading time! :)
ReplyDeleteI totally hear ya on the being late thing, as I'm just getting around to responding to the comments now. :)
DeleteI've actually never heard of this one, but I'm definitely going to have to look it up.
Thanks so much for sharing, and enjoy the rest of your weekend :)
