Happy Friday! First Line Fridays is hosted by Hoarding Books and participants share the first line from a nearby book.
Today, I'm sharing the first line from An Uncommon Woman by Laura Frantz:
"Why could she not quit pondering that flounced petticoat?"
Have you read this book? The book blurb is below and you can read my review here.
What are you reading this weekend? I'd love for you to share your book's first line!
Happy reading!
About the Book:
Unflinching and plainspoken, Tessa Swan is not your typical 18th-century woman. Born and bred on the western Virginia frontier along with her five brothers, she is a force to be reckoned with.
Quiet and courageous, Clay Tygart is not your typical 18th-century man. Raised by Lenape Indians, he returns a hero from the French and Indian War to the fort that bears his name, bringing with him Tessa's long-lost friend, Keturah, a redeemed Indian captive like himself.
Determined to avoid any romantic entanglements as fort commander, Clay remains aloof whenever he encounters the lovely Tessa. But when she is taken captive by the tribe Clay left, his hand--and heart--are forced, leading to one very private and one very public reckoning.
Intense, evocative, and laced with intricate historical details that bring the past to life, An Uncommon Woman will transport you to the picturesque and dangerous western Virginia mountains of 1770.
Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteAn Uncommon Woman sounds like a really beautiful story, and I will definitely have to add this one to my tbr.
On my blog this week I'm sharing the first line from Rachael Bloome's Puzzle Pieces:
"Elle Montgomery wanted nothing more than a cozy night in."
Have a great weekend :)

ReplyDeleteMy first line comes from The Blue Cloak by Shannon McNear

It was unbecoming to be jealous of a dear friend’s marriage.
An Uncommon Woman is actually still on my TBR stack! I've heard it's one of her best books and I'm sooooo looking forward to reading it! Have a great weekend!
DeleteHappy Friday! My first line is from "Take a Chance on Me" by Becky Wade:

ReplyDeleteToday on my blog I’m sharing the first line from Promised by Leah Garriott: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2020/03/06/first-line-friday-126/. It’s such a good book. I’m currently reading When He Found Me by Victoria Bylin so I’ll share a line from there.
“Getting the apartment ready in twenty four hours took all the energy MJ could muster.”
Hope you have a great weekend. Happy reading! ❤📖
This has been on my TBR pile - need to get to it! :) I'm sharing from A Convenient Fiction by Mimi Matthews on my blog today. This is the second line:
