Thanks to Becky at Page Turners for starting this meme and to Rose City Reader for inspiring it!
Annabelle Tyler may have hoped she would marry again someday, but she never dreamed she would be wearing handcuffs during the ceremony when she did.
I love this beginning! It caught my attention and curiosity immediately, and made me want to keep on reading to figure out why Annabelle was in handcuffs at her wedding! I'm loving this book--Delia Parr has quickly become one of my favorite Christian historical romance authors.
So, what is the first line of your current read, and how did you like it? Please leave the link to your specific post, not just to the front page of your blog.
Too, too good for a beginning, must read it.
ReplyDeleteI've read your instructions. No @ in the link. Still, I always get this red x here. You don't have to include me, if I've become a bother. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteWell...that's a different kind of wedding "jewelry." Lol.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure whether to laugh or cry...this one sounds like a good one, though.
ReplyDeleteTea,
ReplyDeleteThe red x is just there for you to delete your own link if you made a mistake. only you can see it.
Awesome start! It really makes me want to find out more
ReplyDeleteWhat an enticing beginning!! Glad to hear the rest of the book is good too. I certainly want to know more.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beginning that grabs your attention!
ReplyDeleteHi Katy,
ReplyDeleteThat is a good question, why is she wearing handcuffs on her wedding day. That would catch me. Have a great day!

That is indeed a grabber. And thanks for running this hop: I'm happy to be back!
ReplyDeleteMy post today is about summer read-alongs, and I featured the first lines of three of the books being read-along.
If you have one here, just let me know and I'll add it to the list!
A great beginning indeed! The image doesn't quite match that of the cover - she looks so innocent and pure there. It certainly has my attention!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like an eye-catching beginning!
ReplyDeleteThat's an eye-catcher, all right!
