First Line Friday

First Line Friday | Week 180 | Kinsale Kisses by Elizabeth Maddrey

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 Kinsale Kisses by Elizabeth Maddrey, which I picked up after listening to an episode of the Story Chats podcast.

Here’s the first line from the Chapter One:

Rachel Sullivan hitched up her backpack, tugging the shoulder strap tighter to fix it in place and dragged her suitcase through the automatic doors of Ireland's Shannon Airport.

What’s the book nearest you, and what’s the first line?

About Kinsale Kisses

She wants stability. He wants spontaneity. What they need is each other.

Colin O’Bryan cashed out of the software company he founded and started a new life in Ireland. Content to wander from town to town as a traveling musician, he had no goals beyond healing from the betrayals that led to his career change, and finding his next gig.

After the death of her parents, Rachel Sullivan hoped her aunt’s B&B on the Southern coast of Ireland would be a place for her to settle and start a new life. Though she can’t deny the sparks in Colin’s touch, his lack of concern for hearth and home leave her torn. Can this free-spirited minstrel win her heart or will Rachel choose roots and stability over love?

This gentle inspirational romance will take you on a journey to Cork County, Ireland and give you a glimpse of Kinsale, Charles Fort, Blarney Castle, and Cobh as Rachel and Colin undergo their own journey of self-discovery as they learn that God’s plans are bigger than their own and that waiting on Him is worth the insecurity it brings.
