Happy Friday and welcome to First Line Friday, hosted by Hoarding Books. It’s a day to rejoice, because Tamara Leigh’s latest book downloaded to my Kindle overnight! Boundless is book number six in her Age of Conquest series and I can’t wait to dive in. Unfortunately, I have another book to finish before I can dive in, but that just means I can relish the anticipation for a little longer. Provided I can actually hold out… 😁

Especially if you love heartfelt contemporary romance.

First Line Friday – Dawn of Vengeance (Ronie Kendig)

Happy Friday, and welcome to First Line Friday, hosted by Hoarding Books. I feel like I have been waiting F-O-R-E-V-E-R for this book to be out in the world, but Dawn of Vengeance will finally release next Tuesday, 8 December. I cannot begin to tell you how big a hold this series has on my heart. Even if you’ve never read a space opera or aren’t usually a fantasy/sci-fi reader, I encourage you to give this series a try, starting with Brand of Light.
