Welcome to another First Line Friday, hosted by Hoarding Books. Suzanne Woods Fisher is a talented writer and a dog whisperer!! While penning novels, she also raises and cares for puppies for Guide Dogs for the Blind, a life changing gift for those people who are blind or have low vision. Love that! Suzanne is well known for her Amish novels, but the book I’m featuring today is the second in her Three Sisters Island contemporary romance series, On a Coastal Breeze. I had hoped to have read the first book, On a Summer Tide, before now but I hope to rectify that soon. Or maybe I’ll just wait until all three books are released and read them together!
Once again, I’m grateful to the wonderful folk at Revell Books for the copy we are giving away today. Be sure to enter below.
First Line
Love how this first line introduces the leading lady and informs us a little about who she is and what she’s planning to do!
The Book
For Madison Grayson, life is good. Newly licensed as a marriage and family therapist, she can’t wait to start her practice. Despite the unfortunate shortage of eligible bachelors on the island–they’re all too young, too old, or too weird–Maddie feels like she’s finally found her sweet spot. Not even one panic attack in the last year. Not one.
And then Ricky O’Shea drops in. Literally. Floating down from the pure blue sky, the one man in the world she hoped never to see again–the one who’d been her archnemesis from kindergarten through her senior dance–parachutes into town, landing on Boon Dock, canopy draping behind him like a superhero. Ricky O’Shea. Now Pastor Rick, the new minister on Three Sisters Island.
Time to panic.
With wit and a bit of whimsy, bestselling author Suzanne Woods Fisher invites you back to Three Sisters Island where family, forgiveness, and a second chance at love await.
Suzanne Woods Fisher is an award-winning, bestselling author of more than two dozen novels, including Phoebe’s Light, Minding the Light, the Amish Beginnings series, The Bishop’s Family series, and The Inn at Eagle Hill series, as well as nonfiction books about the Amish, including Amish Peace and The Heart of the Amish.

Happy Friday!
I loved both of the books in the Three Sisters Island series, and hopefully you will too.
On my blog this week, I’m featuring the first line from Becky Wade’s upcoming release, Stay With Me:
“The hallway floor jolts downward beneath my feet, throwing me off balance.”
Hope you have a great weekend 🙂

The book I’m featuring on my blog today is actually my current read, so I will share the first line of Chapter 12 of Love in Lead by Kari Trumbo. “Eva finished as much of her meal as he expected and daintily wiped her mouth. She’d enjoyed her food and that gave him a sense of pride he had no right to feel.” Enjoy your weekend!

I have 8 siblings–2 brothers and 6 sisters. Two of my sisters (twins) passed away about 10 years ago within 3 months of each other. We are all very close, which is such fun.

My first line is from a WWII book by Anne Greene: Angel With Steel Wings:
December 1943- Camp Davis, North Carolina
“Bad weather. Bad plane. Bad day. And I have a bad feeling.”

Happy Friday! 🙂
Today on my blog I’m sharing the first line from Unveiling the Past by Kim Vogel Sawyer. I’m currently reading Masquerade at Middlecrest Abbey by Abigail Wilson. It’s awesome!!! I’ll share a line from chapter 3 here.
“As with so many previous events in my life, my marriage proved the complete opposite of my dreams.”
Isn’t that a fantastic line? The novel is filled with lines like this. So good!
Have a great weekend! 🙂💚📚

Happy Friday!
Today on my blog I shared the first line from Hadley Beckett’s Next Dish by Bethany Turner, but it’s also my current read so I’ll share the first line from where I’m at right now (chapter 18) here: “What was I thinking? What was I thinking? What was I thinking?” I’m loving the witty humor all throughout this one.
Happy reading!

I have an older sister and a younger brother. My sister lives in the same area and we go to the same church. My brother lives several states away, and we usually get to see him three or four times a year.
