First Line Friday Week #14



It's Friday! Which means it's time for First Line Friday. Grab the book closest to you, and write the first line in the comment section. If you'd like to join our little gang please send Carrie of Reading is My Super Power a message.






About the book:

A leather-bound journal. A single father. A woman in pursuit of freedom.
 Garner Bradford, heir to the troubled Bradford Shipping empire, doesn't know much about babies. But he's going to have to learn fast because he's just become a single father to his newborn daughter. As he confesses through his journal entries, he's not entirely sure how to keep a newborn alive, whether or not he'll ever patch together his shattered heart, or how to forgive himself for his mistakes.
 Career girl Kathleen Burke is wholly uninterested in settling down. She has big dreams, and none of them include Garner and his small hometown in Washington State. Yet she can't seem to get her handsome boss out of her head or her heart. There's something extraordinarily tempting about his beautifully sad green eyes. . . .
Told through journal entries, phone conversations, and letters, Then Came You is a unique, heart-stirring romance novella by acclaimed author Becky Wade.



First Line:

Garner's Journal Entry

Sylvie left me today. When Glenna found out, she drove over with this leather-bound journal in her hands and compassion in her eyes.

I loved this book, and need to leave my review for it.

Yesterday I read Pepper Basham’s book Just the Way You Are ~sigh~ It’s so good that I will read it again soon. My first line:
“One step into the massive, glass-walled waiting area was all it took.”

The Patriot and The Loyalist by Angela K. Couch

Daniel Reid slowed his horse and sucked air into his lungs as he reined to the road’s grassy edge.
