Whether you’re looking for a good book or just curious what others are reading, you’ve come to the right place. Each Friday I pick a book and share the first line with you. This week I am sharing the first line from A Heart Most Certain by Melissa Jagears.
Here’s the first line:
Southeast Kansas
October 1905
Lydia King took a tentative step into Mr. Lowe’s hazy office, feeling like Bob Cratchit approaching Scrooge.
This one is patiently waiting in my library. If you get to it before I do, be sure to leave me a comment on how you liked it!

I’m featuring a new release by Bethany Kaczmarek on my blog this week, but I’m going to post the first line from a book I’ve been meaning to read for aaaaaages: To Whisper Her Name, by Tamera Alexander.
“First Lieutenant Ridley Adam Cooper peered through the stand of bristled pines, his presence cloaked by dusk, his Winchester cocked and ready.”
Good morning. 🙂
“Rebekah Carrington stood shivering across the street from her childhood home, satchel heavy in hand, cloak dusted with snow.”
This first line is from, “A Note Yet Unsung,” by Tamera Alexander.
I’m going to start reading this book today!
It’s waiting on my kindle. My first line is from Sweet Delights by Cecelia Dowdy: “PATTY-LYNN?” THE FAMILIAR VOICE made her pause.
I’m sharing a first line from The Red Door Inn by Liz Johnson. “The change in Marie Carrington’s pocket wouldn’t pay for a ferry ride across the Northumberland Strait to Prince Edward Island, let alone a bus ticket to anywhere else in the world.”
Happy Friday!
My first line:
Prologue
January 25, 1980, midnight
The first execution I attended wasn’t by lethal injection but by Old Sparky. ~A Twist of the Knife by Becky Masterman
Happy Reading!
Dinh @ Arlene’s Book Club
I love the reference to Dickens and A Christmas Carol in that first line! 🙂 Happy Friday!
Oh, I really enjoyed reading A Heart Most Certain! I didn’t want it to end! Enjoy!
Happy Friday! I’m excited to read Melissa Jagears new series!
My first line comes from Dime Novel Suitor by Carrie Fancett Pagels. It’s part of the Seven Brides for Seven Mail-Order Husbands Romance Collection.
Turtle Springs, Kansas
April 1866
Pa had some kind of nerve, up and dying like that-just when I’d gotten used to Frank being gone.
GREAT book!
I LOVE “A Heart Most Certain” and it’s author!
My first line is from Gabrielle Meyer’s novella found in the Of Rags and Riches Romance Collection
“A Tale of Two Hearts” Little Falls, Minnesota May 20, 1899
The countryside sped by as Elijah Boyer pushed the Duryea Motor Wagon to twenty-five miles per hour.
It appears that historical books are being featured today on FLF 🙂 I love the dress on the cover.
