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 The Heart of a Hero by Susan May Warren:
"In the daylight, Jake Silver wasn't the devil."
Have you read this book? Book blurb 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:
Jake Silver may not be able to put the memories of his time as a sniper and Navy SEAL behind him, but at least he can put his skills to use as a part of the Jones Inc. rescue team. Saving the life of pediatric heart surgeon Dr. Aria Sinclair on Denali helped too. But now he can't get her out of his head.
Aria has dedicated her life to helping children born with defective hearts. After all, she was one of those children. Driven to succeed, she lives a lonely, stressful life. One she would have lost on Denali if it hadn't been for Jake. Jake is exciting and handsome, but he's also dangerous, and she's already lost one person she loves. She can't bear it again.
It's not until she finds herself trapped in the middle of a Category 4 hurricane that she can admit she needs Jake desperately. With their very survival in the balance, can they hope for a second chance at life . . . and love?
Wow, powerful opener! Have a great weekend!!

ReplyDeleteToday on my blog, I'm sharing the first line from Fair as a Star by Mimi Matthews: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2020/06/19/first-line-friday-140/. I'm currently reading The Killing Tide by Dani Pettrey so I will share a line from there:

Hope you have a great weekend! 🙂❤📚
I haven't read either of those. Thanks for sharing!
DeleteLove that book! Happy Friday! I'm reading from an old book, and the kindle edition is free on Amazon. I have probably read it 10 times! My first line is from "Uncle Max" by Rosa Nouchette Carey:
ReplyDelete"It appears to me, looking back over a past experience, that certain days in one's life stand out prominently as landmarks, when we arrive at some finger-post pointing out the road that we should follow."
Thanks for sharing, Becky! Have a great weekend!
DeleteMy first line is from A Gilded Lady by Elizabeth Camden which I finished this week.

There was no such thing as a typical day at the White House, but Caroline Delacroix’s morning took a particularly difficult turn the moment she walked into her crowded office,

ReplyDeleteOver on my blog I shared one of the lines from Key to Everything by Valerie Frasier Luesse
"Sometime during the night, it had begun to rain, a steady downpour pelting the tin roof of Aunt Gert's bungalow and lightly misting Peyton's face."
