Happy Friday, book lovers, and welcome to First Line Friday hosted by Hoarding Books. Jennifer Rodewald is one of my favourite contemporary romance writers, so I look forward to any book she releases, but I have to tell you, When I Lost My Way quickly shot to my list of favourites. I will have my full review up closer to release, but for now, here’s a preview: It presents such a rich, panoramic view of the love between a man and a woman, from the heady mix of euphoria and uncertainty that comes with instant mutual attraction right through to the deliberate, purposeful, unconditional love that weathers disappointments and rides out the tough stuff.
It’s up for pre-order now and releases 26 May, so don’t miss out!
About the Book
Sophie Shultz smiles at her future, even when she doesn’t feel like it, but when a country drive leaves this city-girl stranded in the mud, the cowboy who stops to help gives her plenty to smile about. For real. Lance Carson is tall, handsome, and kind, if a little on the quiet side—not to mention the owner of Big Prairie’s celebrated vineyard.
Lance has always had a decided preference for solitude, but when he rescues Sophie he develops a whole new appreciation for companionship. It doesn’t take long for him to lose his heart as she fills the aching void life’s disappointments have left behind. But a family issue has put him in a hard spot, pushing him to a decision that will ruin his relationship with many of Big Prairie’s citizens—and devastate Sophie, who adores her newly adopted hometown. Before he can figure out how to tell her, someone tattles on his plans.
As their relationship is put to the test, conflict presses in from every side. Can this rapidly grown romance sink its roots deep enough to weather the storms, or will Lance and Sophie both lose their way?

Today on my blog I’m featuring Standoff by Patricia Bradley. My current read is Hadley Beckett’s Next Dish by Bethany Turner, and I’m just starting chapter 14: “‘For the last time,’ I seethed, ‘would you please get out of my way?'”
Have a great weekend, and happy reading!
Hadley Beckett’s Next Dish was a fun read! Enjoy 😊
Happy Friday! My first line is from “Stay With Me” by Becky Wade:
“The hallway floor jolts downward beneath my feet, throwing me off balance.”
Happy Friday! 🙂
Today on my blog I’m sharing from Masquerade at Middlecrest Abbey by Abigail Wilson. It’s an excellent novel! Currently I’m reading Unveiling the Past by Kim Vogel Sawyer. I’m on chapter 19, so I’ll post a line from there.
“It shouldn’t surprise us that someone else lives at the address from 1998.”
Hope you have a great weekend!
Happy Friday!
This week on my blog I shared the first line from This Wandering Heart by Janine Rosche but I’m currently reading Of Literature and Lattes by Katherine Reay so I’ll share the first line from my current chapter (17) here: “Alyssa was sitting at her dad’s old desk sorting through her notes on Jeremy’s data when her mom walked through the back door and into the kitchen.” Hope you have a great reading weekend!
My first line is from Storing Up Trouble by Jen Turano:
September 1886
The truth of the matter was this—she, Miss Beatrix Waterbury, had been banished from New York, and all because she’d had the great misfortune of landing herself in jail…twice.
