Happy Friday Reading Friends!
I recently started this book by Lisa T. Bergren. And I confess, I picked it up because I just visited the Caribbean in December, and let’s face it, I am ready to go back! The sun, the food, the relaxing atmosphere….This is certainly a unique setting for a Historical Romance as well, so that has been fun!
Today’s first line is from…
Keturah
Lisa T. Bergren
10 June, 1773
Rivenshire, England
In the hopes that at least one would get through, their father had sent three copies of his last letter from the West Indies; as it happened, his daughters received them all.
What is a setting that you enjoy reading about?

My post this week is from Firing Line by Mike Hollows which is set in one of my favourite places: London. However, it’s World War II London, which is a time I’m happy not to have lived in!

I have to agree. Although I am always interested in learning more about the WWII era, I am very thankful I didn’t live then.

I’m not fussy when it comes to settings, but I have to say I really enjoyed the uniqueness of this setting.
I have the first line from Sondra Kraak’s new release, Three Words and a Kiss, on my blog today, but right now I’m going to share the first two lines from my current read, ‘Justice’ by Emily Conrad, which releases on 9 March:
“Snow floated onto Main Street, each flake large enough to catch the breeze like a parachute. A miniature army, launching a surprise invasion on March first.”
Have a great weekend!

Fun first line! My first line is from the classic Doctor Thorne.
“Before the reader is introduced to the modest country medical practitioner who is to be the chief personage of the following tale, it will be well that he should be made acquainted with some particulars as to the locality in which, and the neighbours among whom, our doctor followed his profession.”

Today I am showcasing the first line from Michelle Griep’s newest novel, The Innkeeper’s Daughter. I am loving the book. It is a page turner, and the hero is wonderful. I am just starting chapter 18, so I will share the first line from that chapter here:
“Johanna opened the door to chaos, then stood there, jaw agape.”

I wouldn’t say no going there either 😉 My lines for today: “Louisville, Kentucky, 2015
All Allison wanted was for this conversation to be over. That and she hoped the ehavy gray clouds would part and the sun would appear. It could go either way today – sun or rain. She stood at the kitchen window, peeling old white paint off the sill as she waited for the Kentucky sky to make up its mind.
Meanwhile, sitting behind her at the table, her lover, Cooper Mc Queen, gently ruined her life.” Happy Friday!
