Happy Friday Everyone :)
I hope you've all had a great week, and that you're all looking forward to the weekend.
It's time for another First Line Friday post, and First Line Friday is hosted by the lovely ladies at Hoarding Books.
This week's post is especially exciting because I'm featuring the first line from one of my all time favorite author's upcoming release.
Stay With Me by Becky Wade:
About The Book:
Loving her is a risk he can't afford . . . and can't resist.
When acclaimed Bible study author Genevieve Woodward receives an anonymous letter referencing her parents' past, she returns to her hometown in the Blue Ridge Mountains to chase down her family's secret. However, it's Genevieve's own secret that catches up to her when Sam Turner, owner of a historic farm, uncovers the source of shame she's worked so hard to hide.
Sam has embraced his sorrow, his isolation, and his identity as an outsider. He's spent years carving out both career success and peace of mind. The last thing he wants is to rent the cottage on his property to a woman whose struggles stir his worst failure back to life. Yet can he bear to turn her away right when she needs him most?
My Thoughts:
I loved this story, and it's officially become my favorite of Becky's books. Sam and Genevieve's story is heartwrenching, quirky and swoon worthy, and once again I was reminded just why Becky Wade is one of my all time favorite authors. This one releases on May 5th, and I can't recommend it enough. I loved how it's part romance, part mystery, and part almost timeslip as the reader is given glimpses into a tragedy that occurred many years prior.
First Line:
"The hallway floor jolts downward beneath my feet, throwing me off balance."

ReplyDeleteToday on my blog, I'm sharing from The Water Keeper by Charles Martin. I just started reading Becoming Mrs. Lewis by Patti Callahan Henry; here's the first line: "From the very beginning it was the Great Lion who brought us together."
Have a great weekend! Happy reading!
Happy Friday!
DeleteI hope you get your copy of this one soon, and end up loving it as much as I did.
I've really been wanting to read Becoming Mrs. Lewis, and I love that first line!
Have a great rest of your weekend :)
My first line is from a WWII book by Anne Greene: Angel With Steel Wings:
ReplyDeleteDecember 1943- Camp Davis, North Carolina
“Bad weather. Bad plane. Bad day. And I have a bad feeling.”
I read the prequel novella. Can’t wait to read Becky’s book!
Happy Friday!
DeleteI haven't personally heard of the one you're sharing, but I love that first line!
Stay With Me was amazing, and I hope you end up loving it as much as I did.

ReplyDeleteToday on my blog I’m sharing the first line from Unveiling the Past by Kim Vogel Sawyer. I’m currently reading Masquerade at Middlecrest Abbey by Abigail Wilson. It’s awesome!!! I’ll share a line from chapter 3 here.
“As with so many previous events in my life, my marriage proved the complete opposite of my dreams.”
Isn’t that a fantastic line? The novel is filled with lines like this. So good!
Have a great weekend! 🙂💚📚
Happy Friday!
DeleteI just finished Masquerade at Middlecrest Abbey a few days ago, and I agree that it was completely amazing. There were so many amazing quotes throughout!
Hope you have a lovely rest of your weekend :)
Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteI need this book in my life!!! I love her books :)
Today on my blog I am sharing the first line form She Walks in Beauty by Siri Mitchell.
“Get Dressed, Clara.”
Happy Weekend!

ReplyDeleteToday on my blog I shared the first line from Hadley Beckett's Next Dish by Bethany Turner, but it's also my current read so I'll share the first line from where I'm at right now (chapter 18) here: "What was I thinking? What was I thinking? What was I thinking?" I'm loving the witty humor all throughout this one.
Happy reading!
Happy Friday!
DeleteI can't wait to read Hadley Beckett's Next Dish, and I'm even more excited to read it now after hearing how much you're enjoying it.
Have a great rest of your weekend :)
