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 A Desperate Hope by Elizabeth Camden:
What’s the book nearest you, and what’s the first line?
About A Desperate Hope
Alex Duval is the mayor of a town about to be wiped off the map. The state plans to flood the entire valley where his town sits in order to build a new reservoir, and Alex is stunned to discover the woman he once loved on the team charged with the demolition. With his world crumbling around him, Alex devises a risky plan to save his town–but he needs Eloise’s help to succeed.
Alex is determined to win back the woman he thought he’d lost forever, but even their combined ingenuity may not be enough to overcome the odds against them before it’s too late.

Happy Friday! My first line is from Brunch at Bittersweet Cafe by Carla Laureano:
“Once upon a time, Melody Johansson had believed in happily ever afters.”
I love the description and cover of this book. On my blog, I’m featuring a nonfiction by Jeff Lucas called Standing on My Knees. Here, I will share Calico Spy by Margaret Brownley. Since it’s my current read, I will share from Chapter 8. “There ought to be a law against starting work at 5:00 a.m.” Have a wonderful weekend and happy reading!
This book looks really good. I have read only a couple of Camden’s books, but enjoyed them. Thanks for sharing!
That was a good book!
My first line is from The White City by Grace Hitchcock:
“Winnifred Wylde concentrated on his forehead, nodding, trying to respond appropriately, but it was so difficult with his nose hair escaping and retreating into his left nostril with every breath.”

Have a great weekend!
Happy reading Iola!
Happy Friday!
I’m currently reading Castle on the Rise by Kristy Cambron. It is such a great story. I highly recommend it. Right now I am in the middle of chapter 23, so I will share a line from there.
“Most of the south side was still cloaked in darkness from the gasworks disaster.”
Hope you have a relaxing weekend. Happy reading! 🙂💚📚
I read the first book in that series – it had three timelines, which surprised me (in a good way!).
Happy Friday! I’m sharing from The Liberty Bride by MaryLu Tyndall on my blog today. Here is the first line from Chapter 7:
“The minute Lieutenant Dimsmore offered Emeline his arm as they emerged from the companionway after dinner, she regretted accepting his invitation.”
This week on my blog I shared the first line from Of Fire and Lions by Mesu Andrews (releases 3/5). I’m currently reading it so I’ll share the first line from my current chapter (22) here: “I had experienced the atrocities of war but never witnessed a battle like the one my son fought for his life during the week of his illness.” This book is soooo good I highly recommend it! Hope you have a great weekend with quality reading time! 🙂
I enjoyed this story! Happy reading, Iola!
