Happy Friday, book lovers, and welcome to First Line Friday hosted by Hoarding Books. I finished reading Courtney Walsh’s latest release Just One Kiss recently, a great choice for contemporary romance lovers! Look for my review coming soon, but in the meantime, here’s the first line…
About the Book
Single mother Carly Collins likes predictability. However, when her son Jaden’s health is threatened, her neatly controlled world is tossed into a tailspin. Nothing is certain anymore, especially her feelings for Josh Dixon, Jaden’s father, her first love and the man responsible for shattering her heart sixteen years ago.
When Josh Dixon walked out of Harbor Pointe, he left behind his only shot at a real family. Now a successful tech mogul, the town rebel has found a cause—ensure his son’s recovery and prove to Carly and Jaden that he’s not the same guy he was back then.
Carly and Josh are forced to wade through messy emotions and questions that have gone unanswered for years, which would be easier if not for the pesky feelings, every bit as strong and impossible to ignore as they ever were.
Will forgiveness win, giving Carly and Josh a second chance at love . . . or will the past prove too much to overcome?

It was not the best hiding spot I had ever found, but it was, thankfully, proving quite effective.
Secrets and Suitors by Joanna Barker
This sounds so cute!!!
Happy Friday! 🙂 I loved Just One Kiss! I’m sharing from Smoke Screen by Terri Blackstock on my blog today. I just finished Dark Ambitions by Irene Hannon; here’s the first line: “‘He got away.'” Have a great weekend! 🙂

There was blood on the ice.
Happy reading!
Happy Friday! My first line is from “Cold Pursuit” by Gayla K. Hiss:
“Faith Chandler stared at the man walking in the distance.”
Happy Friday! On my blog, I’m sharing the anthology Romancing the Rancher’s Daughter. Here I will share the first line in Chapter 21 in the second story, A Measure of Mercy by Debra E. Marvin. When dampness kept Witt’s shirt stuck to his back, and a much more feminine glisten shone on Addy’s brow, he motioned her away from the dance floor in favor of refreshments and a much-needed break. Have a wonderful weekend!
Happy Friday! I’ve been wanting to read Just One Kiss. Today I’m sharing the first lines from Simply Starstruck by Aspen Hadley: “It’s funny in life how you never recognize a big moment when it’s actually happening.”

Today I’m sharing the first line from Son of the Father by Andrew Stone: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2019/10/03/first-line-friday-104/. I’m currently reading Fire Storm by Nancy Mehl so I’ll share a line from there.
“When Jason came over to fix supper that night, Kaely told him about the assignment with Omaha.”
I hope you have a relaxing weekend. 🙂❤📖
