First Line Friday: The Billionaire's Destined Bride

Happy Friday Everyone :)

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

 I hope to have some extra time for reading this weekend, as I'm currently in the middle of a few different really interesting reads.

 Since today is Friday, it's time once again for First Line Friday. If you're unfamiliar, First Line Friday is hosted by Hoarding Books, and simply revolves around sharing the first line of the book you're currently reading.

 Today's First Line Friday is meant to be in honor of Valentine's Day, and that means that it's officially Kissing Books Day! I knew I had to go ahead and share my first line from a book I recently finished that contains one of my new favorite couples ever.......

 The Billionaire's Destined Bride by Mandi Blake

Release Date: January 17th, 2020

About The Book:
She needs to save her company. He’s running from a public breakup. To get what they both want, they’ll have to make a deal.

Sophia Hansen’s work is her life, putting her dreams of having a family on the back burner. But when her father declares his plans to step down as CEO of the family company, she must find a way to beat her scheming brother for the top spot, but it’ll come at a cost in the form of an alliance with a charming billionaire.

Cole Bradford is the most eligible billionaire bachelor in the Pacific Northwest. After a public breakup with an A-list actress, he’s tired of hiding from the media. When his business partner, Sophia, expresses her concerns about the future of her company, he comes up with a plan to save both of their jobs… a proposal.

When their marriage of convenience turns into something more, will their love prevail, or will the ones who conspire against them succeed?

The Billionaire's Destined Bride is a clean, Christian romance. It's the eighth book in the Blushing Bride series, but each book can be read on its own.

My Thoughts:

 I really enjoyed this adorable contemporary story, and the way it revolves around a couple engaging in a relationship of convenience that turns into something more once they learn to trust His plan. Mandi Blake has become one of my new favorite authors, and I thought this was a great addition to the Blushing Brides series. I gave it five out of five stars, and you can check out my full review here.


First Line:

 "You're what?" Surely, she'd misheard."

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...

First Line Friday: The Inheritance

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you're all had a great week and that you're staying safe no matter where you are. I haven't been leaving my house much lately other than for work, and because of this, I've had lots of reading time on my hands. Last year my hubby and I took a road trip that included a visit to our favorite bookstore, and we decided to each pick a book that wouldn't be our first choice. The purpose was to try and read something that still interested us, but would maybe be a bit different than what we would typically go for first. My pick ended up being The Inheritance by Michael Phillips, a book I actually ended up being quite excited about, despite never having heard of it prior. Unfortunately, it ended up sitting on my bookshelf ever since, and I'm so thankful I finally got the opportunity to pick it up and start reading it this past week. The Inheritance by Michael Phillips: About the Book: The death of the clan patriarch h...

She won’t let anyone stand in her way… until a deer runs into the road and causes her to wreck and forget almost everything. Noah Harding lives a simple life as a firefighter and rancher until Camille cras...
