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 West of Famous by Joni M Fisher. Here’s the first line:
What’s the book nearest you, and what’s the first line?
About West of Famous
This contemporary suspense story, set in Florida, features a strong female protagonist facing the issues of identity, mortality, and survival after kidnappers mistake her for a celebrity. The boating community known as Loopers play a key role in the story.
This is the third book in the Compass Crimes series, which is a collection of stories linked by an ensemble cast of characters. Each book can stand alone. Each book features a different heroine and a life-changing crime. The stories are linked by the alliances, friendships, and occupations of the characters common to the stories. While some of the stories contain a romantic subplot, some do not. In the aftermath of each crime, the relationships between these characters grow deeper and stronger.
Honestly, this is not a strong book description, so I’m going to write my own when I publish my review!
You can find West of Famous online at:
Amazon US | Amazon UK | Goodreads | Kobo

It is always fun to visit other blogs and see which books people choose to feature for FLF! This week I’m sharing the first line (and a few bonus lines…I just couldn’t help myself) from The Yellow Lantern by Angie Dicken.
Here I’ll share the first line from Chapter 8 of the same book.
“Nearly all the apple trees along the main drive had bloomed, their pale petals washed by moonlight against the dark sky.”
My biggest problem with First Line Friday is NOT buying all the books!
The Yellow Lantern sounds intriguing. Happy reading 🙂
Wow, that’s a line! Happy Friday!
Yes, it’s a line 🙂 Happy reading!
Happy Friday! On my blog, I’m sharing Lord of Her Heart by Sherrinda Kerchersid, which I absolutely loved. Here I will share the first line from chapter 8 in my current read, A Promised Land by Kimberly Grist. “Meriwether’s mouth watered as she pulled the iron skillet from the woodburning stove.” Have a wonderful weekend!
What’s she cooking? Now I’m feeling hungry! Happy reading 🙂
Happy Friday! My first line is from “Brett, Billionaire Bodyguard” by Autumn Macarthur & Alexa Verde:
“Brett Jarvis grimaced, yawned, and snatched up his ringing cell phone. Two a.m. phone calls rarely meant good news, especially in his business.”
I’m not sure I get the attraction with billionaires, but that’s a good author duo. Happy reading!
Happy Friday!
On my blog, I’m sharing the first line from A Dangerous Legacy by Elizabeth Camden: http://christianfictiongirl.blog/2019/08/01/first-line-friday-96/. I’m currently on chapter two of A Daring Venture by Camden. I’m on a Camden kick! 😀
“By the time Rosalind arrived at the crowded Manhattan restaurant to meet Mr. Drake, her nerves were wound as tight as a piano wire.”
Hope you have an excellent weekend! 😀❤📚
I’ve never binge-read Elizabeth Camden, but that’s mostly because she’s one of those authors I want to read as soon as the book is available 🙂
Happy reading!
I’m currently reading The Healing Jar by Wanda E. Brunstetter. I’m on chapter 19 so I’ll share the first line of that chapter. “Sara had just finished waiting on a customer when Brad came into the shop, wide-eyed and with deep furrows lining his forehead.”
I hope you are enjoying the weekend!
Thanks for sharing, and happy reading 🙂
Hi Iola, That opening line is one you don’t want to read when you’re eating, lol. I’m curious to read on and learn more.
I’m sharing on my blog the first line from Love and Other Mistakes by Jessica Kate.
Natalie Groves eyed the bag of Gingerbread M&M’s on the other side of the office meeting room and prayed for a divine intervention of Red Sea proportions.
The author approached me asking for a review. Well, as soon as I read that first line I knew I had to share it!
Happy reading!
On my blog today I’m sharing the first few lines from A Glitter of Gold by Liz Johnson but I’m currently reading Whose Waves These Are by Amanda Dykes so I’ll share the first line from chapter 24 here: “Bess’s words travel with Annie down to the landing.” This book is soo good so far! Hope you have a great weekend!
Whose Waves are These was different to what I usually read, but very good. Enjoy!
Today I’m sharing the first lines from Midnight on the River Grey by Abigail Wilson: “‘Who’s there?’ My mother’s haunted whisper drew me to her bedside.” Have a great weekend!
