First Line Friday: Carolina Breeze

Happy Friday Everyone :)

I hope you're all having a great week!

Mine has actually been pretty good. We've had some really nice days, and my husband and I were finally able to put our garden in, and various flowers and the like. We've also had a couple of lovely, rainy days as well, and I love how green everything is looking in our yard right now.

For today's post, I'm excited to once again be linking up with the lovely Hoarding Books for another edition of First Line Friday.

This fun weekly meme simply consists of sharing the first line of the book you're currently reading.

For this week's first line, I'm going to be sharing from Denise Hunter's recently released title that I ended up absolutely loving.

Carolina Breeze by Denise Hunter:

About The Book:

A jilted bride. A struggling innkeeper. And a romantic mountain getaway that changes everything.

Rising Hollywood star Mia Emerson is looking for a safe place to land in the wake of a public breakup and scandal, and she finds it in the lake town of Bluebell, North Carolina—the location of her canceled honeymoon. She wants nothing more than to hide and wait for the tabloids to die down.

Soon after her arrival at the Bluebell Inn, Mia meets Levi Bennett, who runs the inn along with his two younger sisters. Drawn to one another from the start, Mia trusts Levi to keep her location from the press, and Levi confides in Mia about the financial state of the inn—a secret he’s been keeping from his sisters.

When Mia and Levi discover an old journal that hints at a rare diamond necklace hidden in the inn, they set off on a treasure hunt to find the long-lost heirloom. What they don’t expect to surface are feelings they thought were safely locked away. Mia and Levi must decide if falling in love again is too big a risk—or if it will uncover a treasure of its own instead.

This Bluebell Inn romance takes us to a quiet North Carolina retreat that holds more secrets than it shares.

My Thoughts:

Denise Hunter is one of my all time favorite authors, and I've been looking forward to reading Levi's story ever since I finished Lake Season. I truly adored Carolina Breeze, and I loved that once again, it has a touch of history of the inn woven into the rest of the story. I really adored Mia's character, and I was pleasantly surprised that this was a "famous person falling for the regular person" story as that is always one of my favorite book tropes. I can't recommend this one enough, and it's definitely a new favorite. You can check out my full review here.

First Line:

"Before she even opened her eyes Mia Emerson knew it was going to be the worst day of her life."
