It’s First Line Friday! That means it’s time to pick up the nearest book and quote the first line. Today I’m sharing from the latest release by one of my favourite authors, Elizabeth Camden. Here’s the first line of A Daring Legacy:
Doesn’t that make you want to read more?
About A Daring Venture
Newly appointed Commissioner of Water for New York, Nicholas Drake is highly skeptical of Rosalind and her team’s techniques. When a brewing court case throws him into direct confrontation with her, he is surprised by his reaction to the lovely scientist.
While Rosalind and Nick wage a private war against their own attraction, they stand firmly on opposite sides of a battle that will impact far more than just their own lives. As the controversy grows more public and inflammatory and Rosalind becomes the target of an unknown enemy, the odds stacked against these two rivals swiftly grow more insurmountable with every passing day.
You can find A Daring Venture online at:

I really must pick up one of her books soon. And the cover is gorgeous!
I’m sharing the first line from “Where the Fire Falls” by Karen Barnett on my blog today, but right now I’m going to share the first line from another read I recently enjoyed: The Captured Bride, by Michelle Griep.
“It ain’t right. YOU ain’t right.”
Don’t take it personally. 😉
Gorgeous cover!
My #FLF is from Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier.
Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again.
Enjoy your weekend!
Over on my blog I’m featuring Among The Poppies by J’Nell Ciesielski. Here I’ll share the first line from Chapter 22.
“The wrench spun like a dial, blurring faster and faster until it flew off the side of the engine and cartwheeled in the dirt.”
Great line and such a lovely cover! Thanks for sharing. Happy Friday!
Happy Friday!
I’m waiting for my copy of A Daring Venture. Elizabeth Camden’s historical romances never disappoint.
My FLF this week on my blog is Love in the Balance by Regina Jennings. I’m also reading Head in the Clouds by Karen Witemeyer.
Cisco, Texas – April 1883
“Tonight is the night. She could feel it.”
Have a great weekend!
Yes, it does make me want to read more! 😀
I’m sharing from the prologue of King’s Folly by Jill Williamson on my blog today, so here I’ll share from the first chapter:
“A procession of fifty men made their way through the cool desert night from the royal retreat in Canden toward The Gray. Fifty-one men, technically, though the king did not count the wailing convict riding in the cage since the man would soon be dead.”
And on that cheerful note, happy Friday!
I’m listening to the first book in this series on Audible right now, and I can’t wait to check this one out. 🙂 Happy Friday!
The blurb sounds completely intriguing!
Today’s first lines come from Kat Mizera’s new release, Defending Dani. This was a super sweet and emotional hockey romance.
“Sergei Petrov got out of the taxi and hurriedly paid the drive as he grabbed his bag. He hadn’t seen his son in more than two months and couldn’t wait to look into his sweet little face.”
I’m featuring lines from Lexi Blake’s new release “Order of Protection” on my blog. Check out to see the start of her newest series!
Great first line, yes, it wants me read more. I am highlighting on my blog Colleen Helme’s Shelby Nichols adventure story, a paranormal.
Happy Friday!
Today on my blog, I’m sharing the first paragraph to This Wilderness Journey by Misty Beller. Here I will share the first two lines from the book I’m currently reading, I Am My Beloved by Caryl McAdoo. It’s a retelling of Song of Solomon.
“Abishag held the cups level and took small ladylike steps, careful not to slosh. She grinned then placed the wine — except water really, her mother wouldn’t allow her real wine — on the stone table.”
Hope you have an excellent weekend with lots of quality reading time! 😁
I love the cover art on this book! I have it on my TBR list and hoping I can get to it soon 🙂
The Book I’m sharing on my blog is Lone Witness by Rachel Dylan but I’m currently listening to The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood and I’ll share the first line from that here: “We slept in what had once been the gymnasium.” Happy reading this weekend! 🙂
Elizabeth Camden is one of my very favorite authors! I hope you can stop by:

Love that cover. I have never read anything by Elizabeth Camden, but that first line makes me want to know what happens. I may have to check this out. Today I will share with you the first line of the book I just finished. The House at Saltwater Point by Colleen Coble. “Two construction workers carried in the orange ladder splatted with dried paint blotches and old drywall mud.”
I want to read this so bad.
I’m sharing about The Weaver’s Daughter by Sarah E. Ladd on my blog today. I’m currently reading Just Look Up by Courtney Walsh so I’ll share the first line from that here:
“He shouldn’t be here.”
Happy weekend! 😀
