It’s First Line Friday! That means it’s time to pick up the nearest book and quote the first line. Today I’m quoting from The Relationtrip (no, that’s not a typo. Yes, that’s a clever title!) by Elana Johnson. It’s a friends-to-more romance, and that is one of my favourite tropes (which you may have guessed if you’re read my debut novel, Always By My Side.
Anyway, back to The Relationtrip: here’s the first line from the Chapter One:
What’s the book nearest you, and what’s the first line?
About The Relationtrip
Question: What do a reclusive author and an outgoing real estate agent have in common?
Answer: Nothing.
But fate brought them together on a vacation five years ago, and as Logan and Sloane prepare for their annual get-together, there are sparks flying between them.
Sloane:
When Logan Murphy, my accidental best friend, calls to say our annual mid-winter trip has to be “redone,” he’s already got the solution.
Belize. An adults-only resort, and we leave in two days.
I’m giddy with excitement, because I need this trip more than I can express. When I see Murph standing in the airport, my heart twitches to a beat it hasn’t since my fiancé left me to tell our friends and family that he couldn’t make it to the wedding.
So it’s a short-lived twitch, because I’m never going to get into the dating boxing ring again—and least of all with my best friend.
Logan:
I’ve never told Sloane what I do for a living, and she doesn’t know how I feel about her either. But I want her to know all of my secrets.
I want my best friend in my life more than once a year, and I’ve already started penning a happily-ever-after for the two of us.
This year, I tell myself, as my crush on the vibrant woman is at least two years old now.
If only I knew how to tell her…
This is a standalone, slow-burn travel romance that will make you smile, gasp, and cheer for Logan and Sloane as they figure out who they are…and who they want—at home or on vacation.
