Hi folks! Today we have a special edition theme. Short month…Short Book. I choose this particular Novella to feature because it releases on Valentine’s Day. I am SO excited for this story!!! Rachel McMillan is a FABULOUS author and I just adore her. You can pre-order this story for less than $2! I highly encourage you to do so.
Today’s First Line is From…
Love in Three Quarter Time
by Rachel McMillan
Prologue
If Evelyn Watt’s life were projected on a movie screen, it might look like the strand of Laura Linney’s story in Love, Actually. Not that she was far from home or responsible for an ill relative; rather, every time Rudy Moser walked by her cubicle, she touched up her lip gloss and melted into a puddle of idiot.
Do you enjoy novellas?

I’m in historical fiction lover’s heaven this week, with the first line from Jocelyn Green’s “A Refuge Assured” on my blog, and the first line from Kristy Cambron’s “The Lost Castle” below:
“Crumbling walls were rare, beautiful things.”
I’ll leave you to ponder that thought. 🙂

Happy reading! 🙂

Never thought about Valentine’s day. At my age days are all the same. I usually do read novellas as I am finished so soon. Have good week with lots of reading time.

I’m sharing the first line from Anne Mateer’s No Small Storm over on my blog, so I’ll share a different line here. It’s from A Bride At Last by Melissa Jagears:

At the sound of running footsteps, Kate Donovan glanced up from dumping mop water in the alleyway outside the school building.

I pre-ordered Love in Three Quarter Time a while ago, just waiting for it to arrive on my Kindle.
I totally missed FLF as I thought it was Saturday, all day yesterday!

Over on my blog, I’m sharing the first lines from the three novellas in A Night in Grosvenor Square. It’s a new Timeless Regency Collection. I’m 1/2 way done, and I’m loving it so much. Currently, I’m starting chapter 5 in the second story, so I’ll share that first line here:
“In spite of Anne’s attempts to distract herself from thoughts of Davis Whitledge, hours of repetitive work allowed her mind to drift.”
