First Line Fridays | The Dishonorable Miss DeLancey
I’ve been seeing First Line Fridays a lot lately, and it
seems like a fun thing to participate in. It’s hosted by Hoarding Books and you
simply feature the first line in the book you’re currently reading.
The honorable Miss
Clara DeLacney stood atop the chalky cliffs. Above her, heavy clouds menaced
the moon, revealing then concealing the scene below. At her feet glowed the
lantern borrowed for tonight’s escape, while far beneath, the English Chanel
churned white and deadly. Wind whipped clothes around her body, like the
despair that had tugged for months, begging release.
The Dishonorable
Miss DeLancey is the final book in Carolyn Miller’s Regency Brides: A Legacy of Grace series. I’ve been enjoying it
thus far. I really like that this first paragraph matches the book’s cover
(which is stunning.) Can’t wait to read the rest of this book!
So what are you reading? I’d love to hear about it and
read the first line.

I liked the first book in this series, but haven't gotten to any of the others yet. What an intriguing first line though! :)
ReplyDeleteThe first book in the series is my favorite of the three, Kara. Isn't it a neat first line? Thanks for stopping by! :-)
DeleteHappy Friday! My first line is from Kizzie’s Kisses by Zina Abbott:
ReplyDelete“Kizzie Atwell felt her breathing become more labored.”
Ooh, what an intriguing first line, Becky! Thanks for stopping by! :-)
DeleteI so need to read this series! It looks like something I will thoroughly enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI'll share the first line from a Love Inspired Suspense Read:
Her head throbbed and grogginess gripped her. She rocked as if on giant waves. (from Thread of Revenge by Elizabeth Goddard.
I highly recommend it, Suzie! They're great reads. And that's a really neat line! Thanks for sharing it with us! :-)

ReplyDeleteI loved that book, too! Thanks for stopping by! :-)
DeleteOver on my blog, I'm sharing the first lines from the three novellas in A Night in Grosvenor Square. It's a new Timeless Regency Collection. I'm 1/2 way done, and I'm loving it so much. Currently, I'm starting chapter 5 in the second story, so I'll share that first line here:
ReplyDelete"In spite of Anne's attempts to distract herself from thoughts of Davis Whitledge, hours of repetitive work allowed her mind to drift."
That's a neat first line, Nicole! Thank you for sharing it with us! :-)
