Happy Friday, book lovers, and welcome to First Line Friday hosted by Hoarding Books. Yesterday was moving day for us! Hence my regular readers will notice I’ve been pretty quiet on here this week. While we still have a lot to do, it’s nice to finally have the move itself out of the way. In the meantime, I’ve found the perfect book to relax with when I need to take a break, and it releases today!
Off-Script and Over-Caffeinated is the long awaited (by me, anyway) second novel from mother-daughter writing duo Rhonda Rhea and Kaley Rhea. Even before I finished reading their debut novel Turtles in the Road, I’d made a vow to read every novel this pair wrote in the future. I can honestly say I’ve rarely laughed so much in a novel before in my life!
About the Book
When the Heartcast Channel Movie division announces they’ll briefly be allowing submissions for new, original Christmas movies, Teagan is convinced this is her time. Roped into workshopping scenes from Teagan’s in-progress spec script, Harlow finds herself paired with an even more reluctant co-star.
Jack Bentley might have the most Heartcast Original Movie name on the planet, but he is anything but formulaic. How different can two people be? It’s fine. Made-for-TV plot-points do NOT a romance make. Right? Right?
First Line
I’d love it if you’d share the first line of whatever you’re currently reading in the comments.

The LOVELIEST way to kick off a BOOK LAUNCH DAY! Thank you so much. Can’t believe you did all this in the midst of a MOVE! Oh my. Here’s hoping you find some sweet rest (in what is probably currently a cardboard box city, lol). You’re the best!
Today, I’m sharing from Love You, Truly by Susan L. Tuttle: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2019/12/19/first-line-friday-115/. It’s such a good book!!! Currently, I’m just starting Isaiah’s Legacy by Mesu Andrews, so I’ll post a line from there:
“I hated weeding the garden alone, but I’d rather Abba copy his scrolls inside than bear our neighbor’s cutting remarks.”
Hope you have a great weekend and a blessed Christmas! 😊❤📖
THANK YOU for your kind words about Off-Script!! Thrilled beyond thrilled beyond thrilled you’ve had a good time with it! EEee!
Getting Christmassy with my current read: Janine Rosche’s novella, Mistletoe Menagerie.
First line: Strings of iridescent lights had once filled Sage Matthews with holiday cheer.
What a brilliant title!
I’m sharing the first line from Breaking Point by Marji Laine on my blog today, but I’m currently reading Home for Christmas by Candee Fick. Here’s the first line:
On a Monday afternoon in mid-October, Tyler Sherwood found himself pacing backstage at the Showstopper Theater inside the Golden Palace Casino in Las Vegas.
I love Candee Fick’s romances and am looking forward to reading this one.
Happy Friday! Today, I’m sharing the first line from Synapse by Steven James: “You do not hear your baby cry.”

This looks a very cute book. Hope you have a very Merry Christmas!
My first line is from Seconds to Live by Susan Sleeman:
One Mistake. That was all it took to put Dustee’s life on the line-death right on her heels.
Merry Christmas!
