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 Justice by Emily Conrad:
What’s the book nearest you, and what’s the first line?
About Justice
Jake thought he was meant to marry Brooklyn, but now she’s pregnant, and he had nothing to do with it. As Brooklyn wrestles with questions about what her pregnancy means and how it will affect her relationship with Jake, she can’t bring herself to tell him the truth.
To make matters worse, if the man who owns the bookstore across from Jake’s coffee shop, has anything to do with it, the baby will ruin them both.
Can Jake and Brooklyn overcome the obstacles thrown in their path, and finally find the truth in God’s love and in each other?
You can find Justice online at:

I read this one earlier this year and enjoyed it. 🙂
I’m featuring ‘Shadow Sister’ by Katherine Scott Jones on my blog today, but right now I’ve just started reading ‘The Raveling’ by Tamara Leigh. At last! I’ve been waiting to find the time to read this one!!
“He had lost a son he had not known he had–providing the child was his.”
Have a great weekend!
It was good, but I was initially confused because I thought it was historical and it’s contemporary. The cover has a real 1950’s vibe. Well, I thought it did.
I’ve heard lots of good things about this book!
I’m not surprised. There were lots of good things about it 🙂
This looks good. Love the cover too.
I wish it would snow where I live, but all we ever get is black ice. Hope you are having a great day–happy reading Iola!
That is a beautiful cover, and I am definitely intrigued! There’s something magical about snow!
This book sounds really intriguing!
I’m sharing the first line of “A Worthy Rebel” on my blog today. I’ll share the first line of my current read, Sarah Loudin Thomas’s “A Shot at Love,” here: “Fleeta hunkered low, careful not to rattle the crisp fallen leaves all around her.”
Aaaand my Kindle just got another book to hold while I work my way down my always growing TBR list. 🙂 Thanks! Can’t wait to find time to read it.
Over on my blog, I’m sharing the first line from Lynnette Bonner’s High Desert Haven. Here, I’ll share one of my favorite lines from Crossed Out by Christina Coryell (her contribution to the Once Upon A Laugh novella collection):
Kids at yard sales were nearly impossible to corral. Grandmas watching kids at yard sales were like wild mustangs, throwing caution and endless quarters to the wind.
Sounds intriguing. I’m not posting a First Line Friday this week because I simply don’t have time. I just became a great-aunt yesterday and am entertaining family from out of time. Some things are simply more important than reading. This is one of them. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Thanks for stopping by, and congratulations on being a great-aunt. I hope you have a wonderful weekend full of baby cuddles 🙂
I’m featuring lines from Danielle Norman’s upcoming release Roadster on my blog.
Here, I’m sharing lines from Keira Montclair’s Falling for the Chieftan. It’s her new historical time travel romance.
“Allison Sutton’s feet hit water as she plunged into the murky liquid at the base of the cascading falls.”
Happy Reading!
I’ve read a couple of historical time travel romances – they’re a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing, and have a great weekend!
This sounds interesting. I”m featuring Starting From Scratch by Kate Lloyd on my blog, so here is a line from page 11:
“A few minutes later I sat on the suitcase’s lid while Marta fastened the metal latches with gusto.”
Happy Friday!
The perils of overpacking! Zips make it a little easier …
Have a great weekend!
Happy Saturday!
Yesterday on my blog, I shared the first lines from Cara Putman’s novel Delayed Justice. Here I will share the first line from the novel I’m currently reading, An Unpresentable Glory by Eleanor Gustafson.
“On her return from church, Kileenda Jensen discovered a problem, and it had nothing to do with her name.”
Hope you have an awesome weekend!!! 😀🧡📚
I know I’m late for Friday, so happy Labor Day weekend! My first line is from Under Prairie Skies by Cynthia Roemer.
“The sound of a spry whistle froze Charlotte Stanton in her tracks. She tightened her hold on her bucket of creek water, eyes narrowing.”
