The rules are simple, post the first line(s) of the novel you’re currently reading or in my case next up on your TBR. then head on over to Hoarding Books and link up. (also, if you’re a romance reader loving on those ab covers, be sure to write (mature) next to your linky if your post shows mature content.)
Today’s first line friday is coming from the book I’m currently reading:
Baiting Him
(How To Catch An Alpha, #2)
By: Aurora Rose Reynolds
“I’m so happy for you, Leah,” I tell my best friend while accepting two shot glasses from the waitress.
From New York Times bestselling author Aurora Rose Reynolds comes the second book in the steamy, witty, and hilarious How to Catch an Alpha series.
Chrissie doesn’t have time for guys, hot or otherwise; most days, she barely has time to sleep. With a thriving bakery that demands her attention and plenty of proof that relationships aren’t worth the trouble, she’s content to go it alone. Too bad she’s unwittingly baited Mr. Tall, Dark, and Way Too Gorgeous—and he’s just waiting for a chance to bite.
Gaston is used to getting what he wants, but he also knows nothing good ever comes easy. From the moment he meets Chrissie, he realizes that this woman who makes him laugh, smells like cupcakes, and looks like a tasty snack is going to be his greatest challenge. And if he’s lucky, she’ll be his biggest reward.
But someone else wants to catch Gaston at all costs—even if it means endangering the lives of the people he loves. Somehow Gaston must thwart danger and convince Chrissie that he’s the perfect catch.

My Thoughts so far:
I’m so glad I chose this book to start off my 2020 reading! I’m currently 64% in and I can’t put Baiting Him down. Aurora Rose Reynolds is spot on when it comes to the chemistry between these two characters and the romance. Overall I’m loving the feel good vibes. There is a little angst mixed in but so far, the relationship portion of this novel is epic and on point. I can’t wait to see how this novel ends!

Not for the first time, Joshua Wheeler wondered if he’d descended into hell.
The title alone grabs my attention! Hmm I may have to look further into this novel.
Thank you for sharing ❤
Happy Friday! My first line is from “Because of Him” by Kimberly Rae Jordan:
“Kieran Sutherland only just managed to keep from lifting his arm and elbowing the detective seated beside him in the face.”
Ohh! What an intriguing opening line! Is the book as interesting as the first line?
Thank you for sharing ❤
Happy Friday! 😊
On my blog I’m sharing the first line from Veiled in Smoke by Jocelyn Green: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2020/01/03/first-line-friday-117/. Currently I’m reading An Uncommon Woman by Laura Frantz. It’s AMAZING!!!
“The field of winter wheat was sun-drenched and silent, the heated August air already blackened by buzzards.”
Hope you have a great weekend filled with awesome reading time. 🙂❤📖

I’m sharing from The Gray Chamber by Grace Hitchcock today. Here is the second line:
Rounding the corner, she slowed her velocipede and overheard two women gasp at her lack of chapeau and corset.
Happy Friday!
