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 line from a book which is currently on my TBR and written by an author whose novel’s I’ve previously enjoyed – Undercover Engagement by Lucy McConnell.
Here is the first line:
As always, Jason held open the passenger door of his gorgeous, graphite metallic, Dodge Viper while I slid in.
A fun and romantic novella by Amazon Top Selling Christian Romance Author Lucy McConnell
Alyssa Eastman is engaged to the man of her dreams. Jason is intelligent, attractive, and he makes her laugh. When the couple is attacked by a group of men who call Jason by the wrong name, shoot holes in his beautiful car, and try to run them off the road, Alyssa learns her perfect fiancé is also the perfect spy. With his cover blown, the only way to bring down an international terrorist group is for Alyssa to steal the information. She agrees to help, putting her life on the line; but, putting her heart on the line and marrying a man who lied to her about his identity is a much harder decision.

My first line comes from The Atomic City Girls by Janet Beard
Proluge
November 1942
The news that June’s grandfather was being evicted had come from her older sister Mary, who worked in town at Langham’s Drug Store.
Happy Friday!😎
My first lines come from Loving Grace by April Smith.
I’M LATE. THE PHONE IS already ringing off the wall by the time I make it to my desk. I toss my keys and bag to the side, not really bothering with where they land. I’ll get them later. I grab the phone and snag the corner of the desk with my hip. That’s going to leave a mark.
Have an awesome weekend and happy reading!😊
This sounds like a fun read!
I’ll share a first line from a book I hope to start reading very soon.
“Two construction workers carried in the orange ladder splatted with dried paint blotches and old drywall mud.”
From The House at Saltwater Point by Colleen Coble
Happy Friday! 🙂
Oh! That sounds captivating!! Wow! The book I’m sharing on my blog is “Lord Livesey’s Bluestocking” by Audrey Harrison. I will share the first line from chapter 22. “Livesey stood next to his aunt in the side chapel, taking in the scene whilst gritting his teeth.” Have a wonderful weekend!
My first line is from Blind Betrayal by Nancy Mehl:
As Martin Avery waited to be murdered, he was surprised to find that, more than anything else, he felt offended.
What a great read! I may have to try and squeeze it in!
My current read is The Truth Between Us by Tammy L. Gray:
Nine months, twenty-seven days, and four hours.
Have a fabulous weekend!
I shared the first few lines of Rosie Walsh’s debut “Ghosted” on my blog, but I’m going to share an old favorite here.
“The fans scream for her, but they don’t really know the girl on the magazine covers – the girl with the guitar and the easy smile. Her given name is Delilah, and they think she goes by Lilah. But anyone who really knows my best friend calls her Dee.”
That line comes from Emery Lord’s “Open Road Summer”. It’s a light, fun and romantic read, perfect for, well, summer. Haha!
Hope you enjoyed it. Happy Friday! 😀
From the first line to the description of the book, this story took a surprising twist! Happy Friday Kathleen!
Happy Friday!
I’m reading Newlywed Games by Mary Davis right now, so here’s the first line: “Bruce Halloway had looked up with a start when he heard the ruckus outside his office window.”

Happy Friday! My first line is from This Freedom Journey by Misty M. Beller:
“This journey I take seems foolish to others, yet I can’t help the yearning that fuels me. ~ Adrien’s Journal”
Oh, love the spy twist! I’m posted my first line before seeing the option of a theme today, so here are the first lines from a favorite Laura Frantz book set just after the American Revolution, The Mistress of Tall Acre:
On this day, 8 August, 1778, a child was safely delivered…
Nay, not safely. Anything but safely.
This sounds exciting! I’m always a sucker for good romantic suspense. Thanks for sharing.
I’m sharing from The Forgiving Hour by Robin Lee Hatcher on the blog today. Not that I managed to stop with the first line—I’ve now finished it!
Here’s another great line, from Chapter Thirty. This is one I’ve been learning the truth of in the last year, attending my church prayer meeting with ladies three or four decades older than me:
Being a Christian isn’t a destination; it’s a lifelong journey. There’s always something new to learn along the way, always something fresh to be revealed.
i need to add this to my ‘want to read’ list!
This week for FLF, I am showcasing Roseanna M. White’s novel Whispers From the Shadows. Here, I will post the first line from chapter 2 in the book I’m just starting today, The Hope of Azure Springs by Rachel Fordham.
“Em, you look so improved.”
Kind of sounds insulting…I’ll have to read on and find out the context. 😉
Hope you’re having a blessed weekend with lots of fun reading time. 😊
The book I shared on my blog is The Hidden Side by Heidi Chiavaroli, but I’m currently reading Things I Never Told You by Beth K Vogt so I’ll share that first line here: “The what-ifs taunted me every time I visited my parents, but any hope of beginning again had vanished years ago–if there’d ever been one. Hope you have a great weekend!
Sounds like a great story! I need to add this to my list 🙂
