It’s Friday, which means it’s time to open the book nearest you and share the first line. Today I’m sharing from The Saturday Night Supper Club by Carla Laureano. It’s her first contemporary romance release in far too long, and I can’t wait to read it!
About The Saturday Night Supper Club
Essayist Alex Kanin never imagined his pointed editorial would go viral. Ironically, his attempt to highlight the pitfalls of online criticism has the opposite effect: it revives his own flagging career by destroying that of a perfect stranger. Plagued by guilt-fueled writer’s block, Alex vows to do whatever he can to repair the damage. He just doesn’t expect his interest in the beautiful chef to turn personal.
Alex agrees to help rebuild Rachel’s tarnished image by offering his connections and his home to host an exclusive pop-up dinner party targeted to Denver’s most influential citizens: the Saturday Night Supper Club. As they work together to make the project a success, Rachel begins to realize Alex is not the unfeeling opportunist she once thought he was, and that perhaps there’s life—and love—outside the pressure-cooker of her chosen career. But can she give up her lifelong goals without losing her identity as well?

I can’t wait to read this book! I’m featuring A Passionate Hope by Jill Eileen Smith over on the ole blog. Here I will share from Keturah by Lisa T. Bergren. “In the hopes that at least one would get through, their father had sent three copies of his last letter from the West Indies; as it happened, his daughters received them all.”
Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend!
I shared this one last week (or maybe the week before). So glad to get a new Carla Laureano book!
Happy Friday!
Four years to the day after the alien planet arrived above Earth, Sofi’s papa had collapsed on the rickety front porch of their buttermilk-yellow farmhouse. –Reclaiming Shilo Snow by Mary Weber
It has been too long since the last Carla Laureano book, but this was worth waiting for. Thanks for visiting.
Ha, great minds think alike. I’m featuring this same book on my blog today. Great book!
My first line here will be the book I’m currently reading, “Across the Blue” by Carrie Turansky.
February 1909
Isabella Grayson’s shoes sank into the plush red carpet of Broadlands’ south hall, and she released a soft sigh. What luxury!
Happy reading and have a wonderful weekend!
I’m looking forward to reading Across the Blue. It has a beautiful cover.
YAY! I need to write my review for this story!
The only fault I found is that there was beautiful food but no recipes 🙂
On my blog, I’m featuring Wilted Dandelions by Catherine Ulrich Brakefield. Here I will share the first line of the book I’m currently reading, Rumors and Promises by Kathleen Rouser. Stone Creek, Michigan, 1900. “Sophia Bidershem jerked awake as the train whistle blew.” I wish you a wonderful weekend.
Sounds good! I hope you have a wonderful weekend as well.
A good book, I often think to add books to my TBR pile. Then I think I don’t have time to read it. To day I am featuring one of my favorite author’s cat series, Shirley Rousseau Murphy and her sentient cats. I am looking forward to the book out in in November.
Too many books and not enough time – I can relate!
Have a great weekend.
Over on my blog, I am featuring Heather B. Moore’s novel, Worth the Risk. I am very excited to read that book. It sounds like it will be a lot of fun.
Here, I will post from the novel I am currently reading, A Refuge Assured by Jocelyn Green. It is an AMAZING story that I am enjoying wholeheartedly. I am just starting chapter 29, so I will share the first two lines from this chapter.
Asylum, Pennsylvania
July 1795
Still damp with morning’s dew, the cool earth soiled Vivienne’s apron as she knelt in her garden, tugging weeds from between iris and yarrow. Geese soared overhead, soft brown chevrons against a sky of robin’s-egg blue.
I’ve read lots of glowing reviews for Jocelyn Green’s books – I really must read one.
Have a great weekend.
I’m sure many people can identify with that statement…lol. Happy Friday!
True! It doesn’t just apply too cooking. Have a great weekend!
I recently won a copy and I’m looking forward to reading it soon.
Josie Gallagher gripped the letter from the county manager’s office with tight hands. – Her Secret Daughter by Ruth Logan Herne
Happy Friday and Happy Reading! 🙂
You won a copy? Lucky you! I hope you enjoy it.
Have a great weekend.
Happy Friday! My first line is from Forward to What Lies Ahead by Chloe S. Flanagan:
“Regina’s cellphone buzzed sharply, shattering the silence of her apartment and making her coffee table vibrate.”
So who is calling?
Have a great weekend!
This book is very close to the top of my TBR. I can’t wait!
I’m featuring Jennifer Rodewald’s Valentine’s Day novella on my blog, but at the moment I’m refreshing my memory on Mary Weber’s The Evaporation of Sofi Snow:
“The ice-planet arrived in the dusky heat of summer twilight during Earth’s Fourth World War.”
Have a great weekend.
I have Jennifer Rodewald’s novella on pre-order 🙂
You have a great weekend too!
In one live we immediately get her mood. This is a talent few authors master! Happy reading 😉
Yes! This is definitely a book that’s hard to put down once you start.
This sounds like a great book!
Here is mine:) “The came for her on a Sunday. It was third quarter with two minutes left on the clock in a savage battle between football rivals San Francisco Sharks and Kansas City Rockets when the sounds that would change her life forever broke through the ordinary chirps of the television announcers.” from Traded by Tess Thompson.

Sounds like a great read! Thanks for sharing.
I don’t have a first line for you as your book this week is the one I have just started. I have so been looking forward to it, can’t wait to get further into it.
I hope you enjoy it 🙂
