It’s First Line Friday! That means it’s time to pick up the nearest book and quote the first line. Today I’m sharing from Entanglements by Rachel McMillan, one of the stories in the Finding Ever After collection:
What’s the book nearest you, and what’s the first line?
About Finding Ever After
Between Stairs and Stardust is set in 1913 Asheville, NC at the beautiful Biltmore Estate and includes a budding children’s book illustrator, an out-of-the box heir, and a teensy bit of Cinderella romance.
Entanglements has a Rapunzel twist and is set in 1920’s Boston between a reluctant heiress, a charming piano tuner, and a game of chess.
Twice Upon A Time is a Beauty-And-The-Beast inspired tale that brings a romance novelist back home to her family’s pecan farm… and the ex-fiance she left behind.
Once Bitten is a nod to Snow White that includes a fake date with a handsome woodsman, seven geeks, and the world’s best apple tarts.

This looks like a good novella collection! I just finished Her Colorado Cowboy by Mindy Obenhaus and the first line is “Lily Davis had lost her mind.”
There are days I can well relate to Lily Davis 🙂
Thanks for sharing, and happy reading!
I shared from Amanda Barratt’s My Dearest Dietrich on my blog. Here is the first line from Outbreak by Davis Bunn — “Avery Madison was awakened at eleven minutes past midnight by a most unexpected call.”
Outbreak sounds like a great suspense read. Thanks for sharing, and happy reading!
Brilliant first line! Happy Friday Iola!
Happy reading, Heather 🙂
Well, this has my interest already! Happy Friday!
Thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend!
I just grabbed a copy of this a few weeks ago and hope to get to it sometime in the near future!
Today on my blog I shared the first line from The Express Bride by Kimberley Woodhouse but I’m just getting into Yours Truly, Thomas by Rachel Fordham so I’ll share the first line from that book here: “After letting an involuntary squeal escape, Penny pulled the yellow papers closer and pressed her lips to them.” Hope you have a wonderful weekend with plenty of reading time!
I’ve just been approved to review Yours Truly, Thomas, and I’m looking forward to reading it.
Happy Friday!
I’m currently reading The Golden Bride by Kimberly Woodhouse. I’m just beginning chapter 3, so I will share the first line from there.
“Buttercup and Julius plodded along ever so slowly as if the past days’ circumstances were thick mud around their hooves, weighing them down.”
Hope you have an excellent weekend! 😀❤📚
The Golden Bride seems popular this week. I’ll have to check it out. Happy reading!
That was the cutest novella collection!
My first line is from The Golden Bride by Kimberley Woodhouse:
No matter how much he thought he deserved to be one, Olivia Brighton’s husband of six weeks was not a king.
I like that first line – Olivia sounds like a strong-minded character. Happy reading!
Happy Friday! Today I’m sharing the first lines from The Noble Guardian by Michelle Griep: “Was it wicked to say goodbye with a smile?”

A lady should always say goodbye with a smile 🙂
Happy reading!
Happy Friday and Happy Weekend! My first line is from “Until Then (Women of the Heartland Book 5)” by Gail Kittleson:
“Sent Jerry packin’, didn’t we?”
Interesting! Who is Jerry, and do we want him here or not? Happy reading!
Hi Iola, The novella collection sounds intriguing. I love Rachel’s first line!
Today I’m sharing on my blog the first line from Caverns of the Deep by Jeanette O’Hagan:
Zara walked towards the tall ebony gate, the first of seven leading outside.
Thanks for visiting, and welcome to First Line Friday 🙂
Happy Friday! I’m sharing from All Manner of Things by Susie Finkbeiner today. Here is the first line of the prologue:
“Summer 1955
We sat at the end of the dock, my father and me.”
This is on my to-read pile, and I’m looking forward to reading it.
