It’s First Line Friday! That means it’s time to pick up the nearest book and quote the first line. I’m sharing a new release from Australian author Meredith Resce: All Arranged, the third book in her Luella Linley romance series.
Here’s the first line from the Chapter One:
What’s the book nearest you, and what’s the first line?
About All Arranged
But her eldest, Pete, is thirty-five, living back at home and dejected after having been jilted days before his wedding. Her responsible, hard-working and handsome son would make a good husband and father—but he’s given up after three failed relationships. He’s a good catch, but unlikely to be fooled by his mother’s scheming and meddling.
This situation calls for a direct approach. Just like in her novels, Louise decides the parents should do the arranging and sort out the wheat from the chaff.
Carrie Davis is a dedicated career woman and hasn’t had time for relationships. However, her sister, Ellen, is now happily married with a delightful little girl and for the first time, Carrie finds loneliness stalking her. Ellen want’s the best for Carrie, so when she comes across an odd advert in the classifieds, she wonders if it is a prank or an opportunity sent from heaven.
“Wanted. For a social experiment. A family arranged marriage.”

I loved this book! My first line is: “Another customer, the tenth this morning, approached the check-out counter.” It’s from Serena’s Songy by Livia Verrell. https://cindysbookcorner.blogspot.com/2021/06/first-line-friday-5-serenas-song.html
