Happy Friday!
This second of Lynette Eason's Blue Justice books, the high-stakes Called to Protect added some much-needed excitement to my week—I really enjoyed it.
First Line: Sixteen-year-old Penny St. John smoothed the shirt over her slim waist and turned to admire herself in the mirror.
From Page 56: "We're in the ER, room 2."
ABOUT THE BOOK
For the past year, Chloe St. John has been working as a K-9 cop with her German shepherd partner, Hank. After being dumped by her fiance for another woman, Chloe has decided that Hank is just about the only male she likes. She's over the whole romance thing and focuses her attention on doing her job. Because a serious case of human trafficking with connections to her missing cousin just landed in her lap.
When US Marshall Blake MacCallum's daughter goes missing, he's ordered to kill the judge he's protecting and tell no one about his daughter's disappearance or she will die. Blake races against the clock to rescue his daughter while Chloe and Hank are asked to be a part of the task force assembled to bring down the traffickers. Chloe finds herself attracted to the silent, suffering man, but thanks to her previous bad judgment, she wonders if she can trust him. And can Blake trust himself around this firecracker of a woman?
Bestselling author Lynette Eason warns readers to buckle in for a fast and furious ride that will have their hearts pumping from the very start.

The cover is quite eye catching, and the story sounds like it would be a good one. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI like a book that makes my heart pump...thanks for sharing, and here's mine: “THREE THINGS ABOUT ELSIE”
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday! 😎
ReplyDeleteMy first lines come from a book I will be reading soon, Through the Autumn Air by Kelly Irvin.......
At what point did a person realize that the special moments in life streak by in a flash, distilled into memories before they could be truly lived? Mary Katherine Ropp stood motionless in the middle of her kitchen, a platter holding a two-layer German chocolate cake covered in whipped cream cheese frosting nestled in her hands.
Have an awesome weekend and happy reading!😊📚💖
This sounds like a great story. The suspense attracts me. This week I have As Death Draws Near by Anna Lee Huber - a historical mystery. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI have this one on my TBR!
ReplyDeleteThe book I am sharing on my blog today is A Season to Dance by Patricia Beal but the book I'm currently reading is The Reckoning at Gossamer Pond by Jaime Jo Wright. Since it was my FLF last week I'll share the first line from chapter 20 where I am now: "'You know you live in a creepy old house, don't you?' Christen stood from her chair at the kitchen table and retrieved the bag of mint Oreos from the counter." Hope you have a great weekend with plenty of reading time! :)
It's on my list to read! Happy Friday! My first line (actually first 2 and the little poem before) is from "A Little Ray of Sunshine" by Kimberly Rae Jordan.
ReplyDelete"(Shadows around me, shadows above me
Never conceal my Savior and Guide:
He is the light, in Him is no darkness,
Ever I'm walking close to His side.)
Ryan McFadden looked at each of the men gathered around the large boardroom table. He searched the familiar faces for any sign of the unease that sat so heavy in his gut."
The colors of the cover are super eyecatching and I really like both quotes. The second one is slightly alarming though. The ER is never a good place to be.
ReplyDeleteIntriguing 56!! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
ReplyDeleteToday I shared the first line of one of my next reads In Another Time by Caroline Leech. It's a YA historical romance set during WWII in the Scottish Highlands. Here, though, I'll share something from the book I am currently reading, See All the Stars by Kit Frick. I'm on chapter 31 now so I'm going to share the first line of that chapter.
MARCH, JUNIOR YEAR
(THEN)
I grabbed Jenni before fourth, on our way into the sky dome.
Enjoy your weekend. May it be filled with great books ������
Happy Friday! I’m featuring lines from Julia Wolf’s Cut Free on my blog today.
ReplyDeleteHere, I’m sharing lines from Susan Stoker’s Defending Allye.
“So I’ll see you back at the rendezvous point, right?” Black asked.
“Absolutely,” Gray told his friend and partner as he readied himself to slip over the side of the fiberglass boat into the Pacific Ocean.
I love Lynette Eason!
ReplyDeleteMy First line is from Death At Thorburn Hall by Julianna Deering
Madeline Farthering gripped her husband’s arm a little more tightly as they made their way through the mass of people crowding Waverley Station, certain that if they were separated in the chaos she’d never be able to find him again.
I'm sharing from True Grit by Charles Portis today, here is a line from the ebook at 7%:
ReplyDelete"If Papa had a failing it was his kindly disposition. People would use him. I did not get my mean streak from him."
Happy Friday!
Intense! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read this book!!!
ReplyDeleteOn my blog, I've shared the first line from Kim Vogel Sawyer's upcoming novel Ours For a Season. Right now, I'm just finishing up As the Tide Comes In by Cindy and Erin Woodsmall. I'm going to share the first line from chapter 36 here:
"Luella drove toward church as Tara fidgeted with notes to her speech."
Hope you have a great weekend filled with relaxing reading time! 😃📚
