~ About the Book ~ One blizzard. Two friends. Three days to fall in love. Lifelong islander Brooke Kane doesn’t know what to do with her college degree, her dreams, or her future, but she knows better than to venture far from home when there’s a storm brewing.

It’s that time of the week again—First Line Friday, hosted by Hoarding Books! Hopefully you’re all having a wonderful Thanksgiving time with family and friends. I also hope you aren’t still feeling the effects of having indulged a little too much, because otherwise First Line Friday might tip you over the edge this week! You see, we’ve got a food theme going, and so I’ve chosen to take my first line from the second book in Liz Johnson’s Prince Edward Island Dreams series: Where Two Hearts Meet.
Today’s Top Ten Tuesday post should come with some kind of a health warning, because once you start, you may find yourself craving all kinds of foods, and I can’t promise all of them will be kind to your figures! Yes, the girls at The Broke and the Bookish have set a food theme for this week’s Top Ten Tuesday post, so don’t say you haven’t been warned!
