Welcome to First Line Fridays! The day we grab the book closest to us and share the first line. Join the fun and discover your next read!
Today I’m sharing the first line from Jocelyn, a new release from Sarah Monzon!
Here is the first line:
I was eight years old when I saw the movie Gone With The Wind for the first time.
WWSOD—What would Scarlett O’Hara do?
Anything to survive, that’s what. But instead of a man-eating Southern belle in hoop skirts and big hats, my version of existence looks an awful lot like a financial conglomerate employee staring blankly at budget analysis spreadsheets. Either way, the motto has served me well most my life. Until now, that is. The corporate retreat location has just been announced, and this city girl is headed to a dude ranch in the country. How will Scarlett help me survive that? No, this time I’ll turn to the sage advice of preteen YouTubers and their ponies to keep me from making a fool of myself.
But who’s going to help me navigate the kind yet reticent cowboy in the black Stetson—the cattle ranch owner who’s slowly claiming corners of my heart?

First Line Friday –
My current book is A Haven For Her Heart by Susan Anne Mason:
Toronto, Ontario, Canada. November 1939
Olivia Rosetti turned up the volume on the radio in the empty parlor.
I hope her next move is to dance. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Happy Friday!
Over on my blog I am sharing the first line from Secret Beach Boyfriend by Kari Trumbo. “Annie Roman squinted into the bright setting sun at the ferry chugging into the dock.”

Have a lovely weekend!
Thanks for stopping by!
I am currently reading 50 Days of Heaven by Randy Alcorn. I’m only on Chapter Two, so I’ll share the first line from that chapter. Over the years, a number of people have told me, “We shouldn’t think about Heaven. We should just think about Jesus.” Have a wonderful weekend.
Interesting quote. Thanks for sharing.
My first line is from Christmas Blackout by Maggie K. Black. The first line is starting with chapter 1 is: Benjamin Duff gripped the steering wheel with both hands and tried to turn into the skid.
This book is so suspenseful and romantic it’s great.
That does sound suspenseful! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
