The Friday 56 & First Line Friday | One Christmas in Winter

The Friday 56 is hosted weekly by Freda's Voice.
First Line Friday is hosted weekly by Hoarding Books.

Happy Friday!

Another week, another Christmas story, of course.


First Line: Reba Farwell wasn't planning on being there that long.

From Page 56: It was too much. Too unorganized. How was she supposed to pull this all together?




ABOUT THE BOOK
Reba Farwell is finally getting a chance to live out her dreams. Sent to Winter, Montana to direct filming for a crucial, on-location shoot, she knows the next two weeks will make or break her career. And she could definitely use a break. As if that isn’t enough, she’s got a secret that none of her crew knows. All she’s asking for is two weeks of small town, Christmas beauty and a little bit of on-camera sizzle.

Five years ago, Hoyt Bradley’s heart and future shattered in one fell swoop that landed him back in Winter. Thankfully, making lemonade—or his father’s famous lemon meringue pie—out of lemons is what he does best. Running Bentley’s Diner has filled the gaps left in the wake of his heartbreak, even if it hasn’t healed him completely. Not wanting to relive memories of his rocky start in the film industry, Hoyt does his best to steer clear of the dreaded film crew, but Winter has a way of bringing people together.

After one fateful delivery and a score of icy bad luck, Reba finds herself in a bind and at the mercy of what Winter can offer. Will she pull the film together in time to salvage her name as a director? Or will the sparks flying off-camera create more of a distraction than she knows how to handle?

Come visit Winter, Montana in this Christmas novella where the Christmas lights are always on and the snow falls most frequently when loved ones share a kiss.

  1. Happy Friday! Over on my blog I'm sharing the first line from My Heart Belongs in the Blue Ridge by Pepper Basham. Here I'll share the first line from Chapter 13 of the same book.

    "Laurel hadn't left the house in three days. Neither had anyone else."

    Have a wonderful weekend!

  3. Happy Friday!🎄🎅

    My first lines come from Lowcountry Bookshop by Susan M Boyer.......

    The dead are prone to secrecy. Eighteen years ago, my best friend Colleen took the outbound train to the next world. She’s seen behind the curtain, knows the answers to a great many questions. But since she’s been back in her role as guardian spirit, she can’t share this information with me. It’s against the rules, that’s what she tells me.

    Have an awesome weekend and happy reading!📚😊💕

  5. I'm a little late going around this weekend but I've had a couple busy days leading up to my extended family Christmas with my in-laws today. The book I shared on my blog this week is Between Two Shores by Jocelyn Green releasing in Feb 2019 but I haven't been able to start my next read yet so I don't have an extra line to share. I hope you have a great weekend and are able to get some quality reading time in!
