First Line Friday Featuring Estuary (Oceans of Time #1) by Lisa T. Bergen



Welcome to another edition of First Line Friday. I haven't participated in FLF since April and I'm working on getting back into the swing of things since my hernia repair surgery in April. 

I hope you are enjoying warmer temperatures and late nights. Probably the absolute one thing I love about Idaho is how long the sun stays up here. It's 9pm and it looks like it's 5pm . . . when the sun is just beginning to set. 



The first book I read of Ms. Bergren's was a children's book God Gave Us Heaven.

The first adult book I read was Breathe, and just looking at the cover I remember how much I enjoyed that book.

Lisa T. Bergren is a favored author. I loved her River of Time series mainly because like her new series Oceans of Time is set in Italy.




About the book:

Can a family bond stand the test of time?

Lady Tiliani Forelli is the epitome of the She-Wolves who raised her, an adept archer with a mind of her own. It is long past time for her to wed, but she deems each young lord who comes to bid for her hand lacking. With battles upon their border, and rumors of war growing louder on every front, Lady Forelli’s decision could secure her kingdom’s peace...or bring about its destruction.

Centuries later, history major Luciana Bettarini takes a summer job alongside her twin, Domenico, as a period actor at Castello Forelli in Italy. As incoming college seniors, this might be their last chance to spend meaningful time together, so she’s soaking up every minute. But when Dom’s theory that their lost Bettarrini relatives have traveled through time becomes potentially real—and they might be able to follow—Luci fears they’ll be forever divided.


First Line

Tiliani Forelli

Summer 1372, Toscana

When he rode around the bend, I drew my bow taut, aiming it at the man's jugular. He was handsome, but not overly so.

Is that not a hook of a line? The best thing, this is book one in her new series and you can grab a copy now because it released on Tuesday.


Is this book on your summer reading radar? If not it should be. Click the cover to order a copy.

It's Friday and that means it's time for first lines. What are your first lines? Grab the book closest to you and leave your first line in the comments.

Happy Friday!
I'm currently reading In This Moment by Gabrielle Meyer.
"The rain had not let up by Friday afternoon, keeping everyone indoors and canceling a garden party I had planned to attend."
Have a great weekend. Happy reading!!!
