First Line Friday: Puzzle Pieces

Happy Friday Everyone :)

 I hope you've all head a great week, and that you're all looking forward to the weekend.

 I will be working for most if it, but I am looking forward to hopefully have some time to curl up with a great book or two.

 For today's edition of First Line Friday, which is hosted by the lovely ladies over at Hoarding Books, I'm going to feature the first line from a fun, sweet novella I had the pleasure of reading earlier this week.

 Puzzle Pieces by Rachael Bloome:


About The Book:


Elle Montgomery believes every person has one perfect match ~ their puzzle piece. And she designed a dating app to prove it. But when her childhood crush, Graham Dalton, returns home for his brother's wedding, he challenges everything she thought she knew about love. 
Graham Dalton never forgot the woman he left behind. And when he returns home to San Francisco for a second chance with his first love, he's more than happy to stand-in as her fake boyfriend to improve the public image of her dating app company. 
But as old feelings resurface, Elle starts to receive anonymous messages through her dating app. And things only get more complicated when a long-kept secret from their past is uncovered. 
In the end, will Elle find her missing puzzle piece? Or will her world fall to pieces? 


My Thoughts:

 Puzzle Pieces was an extremely sweet and adorable story, and I loved it. I really enjoy Rachael Bloome's writing style, and how well developed and three dimensional her characters are. This is perfect for anyone, like me, who adores sweet romance movies on the Hallmark Channel, and I'm very much looking forward to reading more books from this author in the future. I especially enjoyed how this one is about two high school friends who meet again years later, and end up entering into a pretend relationship in order to help with some obstacles the female lead is currently dealing with. 
First Line:

 "Elle Montgomery wanted nothing more than a cozy night in."

    Happy Friday! 🙂
    Today on my blog I’m sharing the first line from Promised by Leah Garriott: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2020/03/06/first-line-friday-126/. It’s such a good book. I’m currently reading When He Found Me by Victoria Bylin so I’ll share a line from there.
    “Getting the apartment ready in twenty four hours took all the energy MJ could muster.”
    Hope you have a great weekend. Happy reading! ❤đź“–

    I'm sharing from A Convenient Fiction by Mimi Matthews on my blog today. This is the second line:

    "The water lapped over her head, leaves and debris floating along the surface in the midmorning sun."
