Happy Friday, book lovers, and welcome to First Line Friday hosted by Hoarding Books. My First Line pick for today is next up on my TBR: Desert Willow by Patricia Beal. I loved her debut release, A Season to Dance, when I read it a couple of years ago, so I’m looking forward to diving into this one shortly!
About the Book
College graduate Clara Malone swore to never love anyone in the military again but when her dying grandmother asks her to deliver a love letter to the general who broke her heart decades ago, she agrees and finds herself escorted by a handsome Army captain whose kindness challenges her beliefs. Surrounded by desert willows that shower her path with pretty pink flowers and sing with the buzzing of hummingbirds, Clara enjoys the wild beauty of El Paso—and her time with Andrew—more than expected.
Can she deliver her grandmother’s last love letter without losing her heart to a man who represents everything she fears?

I’ve had Patricia Beal on my list of authors to try out forever, and I definitely need to get to her books sooner rather than later!
On my blog today I’m sharing the first line from the upcoming All The Stars by Mandi Blake:
“Leah shifted onto her side under the kitchen sink and scratched her neck.”
Have a great weekend 🙂
Happy Friday!
Over on my blog, I’m sharing the first line from When He Found Me by Victoria Bylin: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2020/02/28/first-line-friday-125/. I’m currently finishing A Convenient Christmas Wedding by Regina Scott, so I will share a line from that book here.
“Nora woke on Christmas morning to the sound of voices calling.”
Hope you have an excellent weekend full of fun and relaxing reading!
My first line is from The Land Beneath Us by Sarah Sundin
Camp Forrest, Tullahoma, Tennessee. Friday, June 11, 1943
Most men woke in a cold sweat when they dreamed of their own deaths, but not Private Clay Paxton.
This sounds like a great book! Enjoy 🙂
Today on my blog I’m featuring One Little Lie by Colleen Coble. I just finished Being Known by Robin Jones Gunn, so I’ll share the first lines here: “ Whenever I close my eyes and think of my mother, I see her red toenails. Her perfectly manicured toes flaunting her signature nail-polish color, Oh My, Cherry Pie.”
Have a great weekend! 😊
Happy Friday! Today, I’m sharing the first line from Isaiah’s Legacy by Mesu Andrews: “I am Shebna. Small in stature, weak in body, strong of mind. A Levite.”

I’m sharing from The Vault Between Spaces by Chawna Schroeder on my blog today. Happy Friday and have a great weekend!
Happy Weekend! My first line (actually 2 lines) is from “Draw Me to Your Side” by Marguerite Martin Gray:
“Closing her eyes for a brief respite, Elizabeth dozed in the afternoon sun peeking through the frosty windowpanes. The image of a coiled, ferocious rattlesnake fought its way behind eyelids seemingly glued together.”
