First Line Friday: Sweet on You

Happy Friday Everyone :)

 I missed participating in First Line Friday last week, as I had a family emergency come up last weekend.

 Thankfully everything worked out okay, and I'm thankful as always to our amazing Heavenly Father for always being there, and for the grace He extends to all of us on a daily basis.

 This week on my blog has been all about Becky Wade's newest release, Sweet On You, so I knew for this week's First Line Friday I had to share the first line from this one.

 Sweet On You by Becky Wade:


About The Book:
Britt and Zander have been best friends since they met thirteen years ago, but unbeknownst to Britt, Zander has been in love with her for just as long. When Zander's uncle dies of mysterious causes, he returns to Washington to investigate. As they work together to uncover his uncles tangled past, will the truth of what lies between them also come to light?

 My Thoughts:

 I have yet to not love anything Becky Wade has written, and Sweet On You is no exception. Britt and Zander's story is a whirlwind from start to finish, and I adored every second of it. It's the perfect amount of romance, comedic interludes, epistolary inclusions, and suspense elements. I highly recommend checking this one out as soon as you possibly can. It gets a perfect five star rating from me.

 First Line:

 "Five hundred and eleven days had passed since he'd seen her last."
Thanks so much for stopping by guys! Be sure and share the first line of the book you're reading in the comments, and then hop on over to Hoarding Books to see who else is participating this week.

 Enjoy your weekend and happy reading!

    I cannot wait for this book!

    Happy Friday!

    Today on my blog, I am sharing the first few lines from The Heart of a King by Jill Eileen Smith: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2019/05/02/first-line-friday-85/. I am beginning chapter 20 so I will leave the first line from there.

    "Abishag's mood slipped into melancholy as the months continued on after King David's death, a mood she had not experienced to any great length since her mother had passed into Sheol."

    Hope you have an excellent weekend. Happy reading! 🙂💚📚

    Glad everything turned out okay!
    Today on my blog I shared the first line from The Refuge by Ann Gabhart but my next read I'll be starting shortly is Shadow Among Sheaves by Naomi Stephens so I'll share the first line from the prologue here: "The sun was the same, but that was all." Hope you have a wonderful weekend! Happy Reading!

    Happy Friday! I’m sharing from The Pink Bonnet by Liz Tolsma on my blog today, but here’s the first line from chapter two of my current read, When Mountains Move by Julie Cantrell:

    “There’s something romantically hopeful about having a wedding in the middle of a war.”

    Loved Sweet on You! I'm so late in getting around to everyone! I'm sharing the first lines from When He Found Me by Victoria Bylin:

    "Shane Riley yanked his wet Levi's out of a grimy washing machine, one of twenty or so in a Laundromat straight out of 1992."

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.

First Line Friday: Courting Mr. Emerson

Happy Friday Everyone :) Since it is Friday, I'll once again be participating in First Line Friday which is hosted by Hoarding Books .  For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson. About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The quest
