Happy Friday Everyone :)
I pray that this week finds you safe and healthy, and protected from all the craziness in these uncertain times.
I'm going to be off of work for a couple of weeks, and will not be leaving my house unless absolutely necessary.
I've been enjoying catching up on the pile of ARC's I have releasing in the next few weeks, and the one I'm most excited about is probably Becky Wade's upcoming release. Before I could get to that one though, I needed to read the prequel novella that she recently released, and it's going to be my pick for this week's First Line Friday. If you're unfamiliar with First Line Friday, it's a weekly meme hosted by the lovely ladies at Hoarding Books, and it simply involves sharing the first line of the book you're currently reading.
Take a Chance on Me by Becky Wade:
About the Book:
When baker Penelope Quinn steps in to help her brother’s family through a medical crisis, she’s forced into close proximity with charming Air Force fighter pilot Eli Price.
Penelope has one iron-clad dating rule—she does not date airmen. Months ago, she relaxed her rule with Eli and immediately lived to regret it. After a long deployment, he’s now back in Misty River and, to her dismay, she finds him just as tempting as always.
Eli’s spent months thinking about funny, feisty, creative Penelope. He once leveraged his focus and drive to become a pilot, his childhood dream. Now he's set on leveraging that same focus and drive in order to convince Penelope to give him one more chance.
This romantic prequel novella introduces readers to the quaint mountain town of Misty River and a brand-new series from Christy-winning author Becky Wade!
My Thoughts:
Becky Wade is one of my all time favorite authors, and I have yet to be disappointed in a book by her. I think that Take a Chance on Me is a fantastic teaser to her upcoming Misty River Romance series, and I can't wait to dive into the first book.
First Line:
"The hospital's electronic doors whooshed open as Penelope Quinn rushed toward the emergency room."

Happy Friday everyone and Happy Reading!
Loved that novella by Becky.
ReplyDeleteMy first line is from Silent Shadows by Natalie Walters:
Pecca Gallegos never thought she’d be turning down a marriage proposal—much less four of them.
Just finished this wonderful book!
Happy Friday!
DeleteI really loved it too. Becky continues to be one of my favorites.
I loved Silent Shadows, and am so sad that it's the last book in the trilogy. I can't wait to see what Natalie Walters has up her sleeves for her readers in the future!
Thanks so much for sharing, and have a great rest of your weekend :)
I loved this novella! Hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
I'm sharing the first line from The Merchant's Yield by Lorri Dudley: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2020/03/27/first-line-friday-129/. I'm just starting the novel, so I will share another line from the book here today.
"Mama glanced at Lottie's coiffure and sighed. 'I wish you had used powder.'"
Hope you have an excellent day and a great weekend. 🙂❤️đź“–
Happy Friday!
DeleteI really enjoyed up loving Take a Chance on Me. Becky continues to be one of my all time favorite authors.
I hadn't personally heard of The Merchant's Yield before, but it sounds like a really great book that I'm definitely going to have to check out in the future!
Have a great weekend :)
Happy Friday! My first line is from "Marry Me" by Autumn Macarthur:
ReplyDelete"The intercom on the hospital room wall beeped, interrupting Melanie and Alia's fast and furious clapping game and their storm of giggles."
Happy Friday!
DeleteI haven't personally heard of Marry Me, but I'll definitely have to look it up.
Thanks for sharing, and I hope you have a great weekend :)
Happy Friday! I'm sharing from The Story Peddler by Lindsay A. Franklin today. Here is the first line from chapter 3:
ReplyDelete"It wasn't easy to open the front door of my cottage with a bread bowl of stew in my hands and a jug of milk under one arm. But I managed."
Happy Saturday!
DeleteI loved The Story Peddler when I read it last year, and I'm really interested to see how Lindsay A Franklin is going to wrap up the trilogy.
Thanks so much for sharing, and have a great rest of your weekend :)
Happy Friday! Today, I'm sharing the first line from On Wings of Devotion by Roseanna M. White: "A stranger stalking down the street shouldn't make her hands tremble in anticipation."

Happy Saturday!
DeleteI'm really looking forward to reading On Wings of Devotion, and I love that opening line.
Thanks for sharing, and have a great rest of your weekend :)
Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteToday on my blog I shared the first line from The Road to Paradise by Karen Barnett but right now I'm reading Labeling Lincoln by Stephenia H McGee so I'll share the first line from chapter 2 here: George struggled to keep his composure as they led him deeper into the bowels of the prison." Happy reading this weekend!
Happy Saturday!
DeleteI haven't personally heard of either of these stories, but I'm now very intrigued by both.
Thank you for sharing them, and I hope you have a great weekend with lots of reading time. :)
