Hi Everyone! It’s First Line Friday, so grab a book near you and share your first line in the comments below!
Today I’m sharing the first lines from The Rancher Takes a Cook by Misty M. Beller which I am currently reading.
Here is the first line:
Columbia, South Carolina
February 17, 1865The acrid air was thick and hazy as nineteen-year-old Anna Stewart struggled to sit up in bed.
When their South Carolina home burns to the ground, Anna Stewart’s only choice is to move with her younger brother to the wilds of a Texas ranch. Their prospects are beginning to look better, until the rancher’s son, Jacob O’Brien, shows up with his alarmingly blue eyes to put a kink in Anna’s well-controlled plans.
When danger escalates in the form of a band of cattle thieves with deadly intent, can Anna learn to release control to God’s capable hands…and those of the blue-eyed cowboy who’s stolen her heart?

On my blog, I am featuring Lady Jayne Disappears by Joanna Davidson Politano. Since it’s also my current read, I will share the first line from the 28th chapter: “I watched the moon from my window that night, knees tucked to my chest as I curled into the wingback chair.” I wish you a joy-filled Merry Christmas!
Hmm add in a book to read and it sounds like my kind of night! 😉
Happy Friday!
My first lines come from Tin God by Stacy Green….
“That’s impossible.” Jaymee’s stomach lurched and then spiraled to her toes. The meager window air conditioner in the manager’s trailer did nothing for her constricted lungs. She shifted as the torn plastic of the junky folding chair cut into the back of her thigh. “My boyfriend–ex-boyfriend–paid the rent. I gave him the money last week.”
Have an awesome weekend and Happy Holidays!😊🎄💕
Uh-oh. Sounds like someone should not have trusted their boyfriend-ex-boyfriend. 😉 Have a great weekend!
Looks interesting!
This week I’m sharing from Castle on the Rise by Kristy Cambron (I have an ARC… doesn’t release until Feb 2019), but it’s also the book I’m currently reading so I’ll share the first line from my current chapter (18) here: “Maeve had just put down her quill to close the estate ledger when the alarm bell clanged outside.” Hope you have the chance to get some reading in this weekend and have a very Merry Christmas! 🙂
Thanks for sharing! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
My first line is from Mind Games by Nancy Mehl: ( a fabulous book)
He stood in the middle of his secret room, staring at walls covered with old newspaper clippings.
Merry Christmas!
