First Line Friday

First Line Friday #309 | Always On My Mind by Beth Moran

It’s First Line Friday! That means it’s time to pick up the nearest book and quote the first line. I’ve read a couple of Beth Moran in the distant past, and just found she has switched from writing Christian fiction to clean and wholesome romance. This looks like a fun read.

Here’s the first line from the Chapter One:

When Isaac and I left home exactly one month after our eighteenth birthday, I swore to myself I’d never live with him again.

About Always On My Mind

Sometimes when you can’t see the way forwards, the best thing to do is to look back…

When Jessie left home at eighteen, she swore she’d never go back. But when life takes a turn for the complicated, she’s forced to move in with her twin, Isaac, and his two best friends. To her dismay, one of these is Elliot, the boy Jessie once loved, until his life was changed forever by a terrible accident that Jessie still blames herself for.

Cohabiting with three alarmingly unhouse-trained males was not in Jessie’s life plan so when Isaac, Elliot and Arthur offer her a generous rent discount if she’ll help them with their ‘Boys to Men Project’, designed to end years of disastrous dating, she reluctantly accepts the challenge.

As Jessie embraces the comfort of being home, revelling in her new job at her parents’ day centre full of people determined to grow old disgracefully, she realises her housemates aren’t the only ones needing to make some changes. And maybe, if she can finally forgive herself for Elliot’s accident, she can start to look forward to a future, with or without him by her side.

Reading Beth Moran’s fabulous novels makes every day better. Heart-warming, soul-nourishing, with smart characters and irresistible romances, it’s impossible not to fall in love with a Beth Moran story.

First Line Friday | Week 167 | Lessons Learned in Love by Milla Holt

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 Hidden in Her Heart by Milla Holt—yes, I’m on a Milla Holt binge 🙂

Here’s the first line from the Chapter One:

Vanya Klassen was used to being overshadowed, but her flamboyant dinner guest would have made even a peacock look drab.

About Lessons Learned in Love

The boss’s daughter is off-limits. Especially when she steals the job that should have been his.

Vanya has never measured up to her parents’ demanding standards. After a crushing humiliation at her last job, she jumps at the chance to prove herself when her father entrusts her with a leadership role in his company.

Tendo has had nothing handed to him on a silver platter. The son of a refugee, he’s had to claw his way up every rung of the career ladder. Then the CEO’s daughter swoops in to take the job that should have been his. Tendo wants to resent the pampered princess, making his growing attraction unexpected—and entirely unwelcome.

Vanya feels grossly unqualified to manage the brilliant and ambitious Tendo, especially when she realizes that she’s beginning to admire him for a lot more than his professional qualities. And although he knows he’s falling hard and fast, Tendo is proud of being a self-made man. A relationship with the boss’s daughter is exactly the sort of special treatment he despises.

But as Vanya’s and Tendo’s worlds collide, they discover the power of honesty, grace, and trust—and the possibilities of a future built together.
