Hello Everyone :)
I hope you've all had a great week, and that you're currently enjoying a wonderful book for this weekend.
For today's edition of First Line Friday, which is hosted by the lovely ladies over at Hoarding Books, I'm excited to share the first line from an upcoming release by one of my favorite authors.
All The Stars by Mandi Blake:
About The Book:
Gaining her trust won’t be easy. Earning her love will be nearly impossible.
Leah Manning is working to get back on her feet after her ex-husband disappeared one night, leaving her to raise their infant daughter alone. When a trip to a hardware store has her literally falling into the arms of its handsome owner, his charms are hard to resist. But he’s a stranger, and, to her, that means he can’t be trusted. Can she learn to let her faith be stronger than her fear?
Brian Matthews has never met a stranger. A friend to everyone he meets, he can’t understand why Leah is determined to keep him at a distance. He only wants to help, but she can't accept that he only has the best intentions. It’s a good thing his love is patient.
Leah isn’t ready to let the love she feels for Brian override years of fear, and he’s tired of spending lonely nights playing songs on his guitar to fill the silence. What will it take to show Leah that Brian is the answer to her prayers?
All the Stars is book five in the Unfailing Love series, but the books can be read in any order.
My Thoughts:
I've honestly loved each and every title in the Unfailing Love series, as I love how each title highlights a couple with a broken past who needs to learn to let go and let God. I love how strong the faith element is in each title, and this one was no exception. It's also full of many swoon worthy moments, and the female protagonist has the most adorable daughter who really adds another element to an already amazing story. I really enjoyed this one, and can't possibly recommend it enough.
First Line:
"Leah shifted onto her side under the kitchen sink and scratched her neck."

I received a complimentary copy of this novel from the author to read and review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I was not required to give a positive review.

ReplyDeleteOver on my blog, I'm sharing the first line from When He Found Me by Victoria Bylin: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2020/02/28/first-line-friday-125/. I'm currently finishing A Convenient Christmas Wedding by Regina Scott, so I will share a line from that book here.
"Nora woke on Christmas morning to the sound of voices calling."
Hope you have an excellent weekend full of fun and relaxing reading!
When He Found Me sounds like a really good book. I've definitely added it to my tbr after visiting your blog. I enjoy reading Christmas books all year round so I will have to check out the Convenient Christmas Wedding as well. Thanks so much for sharing, and Have a great rest of your weekend. :)
DeleteMy first line is from The Land Beneath Us by Sarah Sundin

I loved The Land Beneath Us! It was such an amazing story. Thanks so much for sharing, and I hope you have a great rest of your weekend. :)
DeleteThat sounds like a good book, and a good series! Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteToday on my blog I’m featuring One Little Lie by Colleen Coble. I just finished Being Known by Robin Jones Gunn, so I’ll share the first lines here: “ Whenever I close my eyes and think of my mother, I see her red toenails. Her perfectly manicured toes flaunting her signature nail-polish color, Oh My, Cherry Pie.”
Have a great weekend! 😊
I loved One Little Lie, and Robin Jones Gunn is one of my all time favorite authors, but I haven't read this one yet and that definitely needs to change!
DeleteThanks for sharing. I love this first line. I hope you have a great rest of your weekend :)
Happy Friday! Today, I'm sharing the first line from Isaiah's Legacy by Mesu Andrews: "I am Shebna. Small in stature, weak in body, strong of mind. A Levite."

Biblical fiction is a genre that I'm wanting to read more books from, so I'm very interested in checking this one out. Thanks so much for sharing, and I hope you have a great rest of your weekend. :)
DeleteThis sounds good! I'm sharing from The Vault Between Spaces by Chawna Schroeder on my blog today. Happy Friday and have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHappy Saturday!
DeleteThe Vault Between Spaces sounds extremely interesting, and I'm looking forward to reading it in the future.
Thanks for sharing, and have a great rest of your weekend. :)
Happy Weekend! My first line (actually 2 lines) is from "Draw Me to Your Side" by Marguerite Martin Gray:
ReplyDelete"Closing her eyes for a brief respite, Elizabeth dozed in the afternoon sun peeking through the frosty windowpanes. The image of a coiled, ferocious rattlesnake fought its way behind eyelids seemingly glued together."
Happy Saturday!
DeleteI haven't personally heard of this one, but that's a very intriguing first line!
Thanks so much for sharing, and have a great rest of your weekend :)
