First Line Friday – Faking Grace (Tamara Leigh)

Posted 27 March 2020 by Katie in Christian Fiction, Contemporary, First Line Fridays, Humour, Romance / 7 Comments

Happy Friday, book lovers, and welcome to First Line Friday hosted by Hoarding Books. Like most, if not all of you, we here in Australia are hunkering down at home in the spirit of social distancing. And after finishing a rather emotional read by Nicole Deese last night (Before I Called You Mine, featured over on the main Hoarding Books post today), I was in the need for something light. Tamara Leigh’s Head Over Heels series to the rescue! 

About the Book

ALL SHE WANTS IS A JOB. ALL SHE NEEDS IS RELIGION. HOW HARD CAN IT BE?

Maizy Grace Stewart dreams of a career as an investigative journalist, but her last job ended in disaster when her compassion cost her employer a juicy headline. A part-time gig at a Nashville newspaper might be her big break.

A second job at Steeple Side Christian Resources could help pay the bills, but they only hire committed Christians. Maizy is sure she can fake it with her Five-Step Program to Authentic Christian Faith. If only Jack Prentiss, Steeple Side’s managing editor and British hottie, wasn’t determined to prove her a fraud.

When Maizy’s newspaper boss pressures her to expose any skeletons in Steeple Side’s closet, she must decide whether to deliver the dirt and secure her career or lean on her newfound faith, change the direction of her life, and pray that her colleagues—and Jack—will show her grace.

    I’m very intrigued by this one, and am definitely going to have to add it to my TBR list!

    On my blog today I’m sharing the first line from Becky Wade’s Take a Chance on Me:

    “The hospital’s electronic doors whooshed open as Penelope Quinn rushed toward the emergency room.”

  5. Happy Friday! I’m sharing from The Story Peddler by Lindsay A. Franklin today. Here is the first line from chapter 3:

    “It wasn’t easy to open the front door of my cottage with a bread bowl of stew in my hands and a jug of milk under one arm. But I managed.”

    Today on my blog I shared the first line from The Road to Paradise by Karen Barnett but right now I’m reading Labeling Lincoln by Stephenia H McGee so I’ll share the first line from chapter 2 here: George struggled to keep his composure as they led him deeper into the bowels of the prison.” Happy reading this weekend!
