Book Beginnings.The Friday 56 4/14/2017



Friday 56 is hosted at Freda's Voice and Book Beginnings is hosted by Rose City Reader. The idea is to share a sentence or so from the first page and the 56th page of the book you are currently reading!  Also, I will now also include a brief synopsis.


Forbidden Kisses (Blushing Bay, #1)


The Synopsis:  The USA Today bestselling author of the Hero’s Welcome series introduces a trio of swoon-worthy North Carolina brothers fighting for love in this novel of sand, sea, and seduction.

For years, Jack Sawyer’s family has been running their upscale seafood business like a finely tuned machine. But every machine breaks down eventually, and suddenly Jack needs a new office manager, a new kayak launch, and a new lease on life. Then Grace Donner shows up again. She’s smart, motivated, and perfect for the manager position, but if she’s anything like her mom, she can’t be trusted. And Jack has never been able to trust himself around Grace.

Grace hasn’t seen her former stepbrothers since their parents’ messy divorce, but she never forgot them—especially Jack. She misses being part of the big rambunctious Sawyer clan, and if there’s an opportunity to set things right, she means to do it. But she can’t ignore Jack’s irresistibly kissable lips, or the searing way he looks at her when he thinks she’s not looking. Their chemistry is more explosive than ever. And if the Sawyers can forgive and forget, anything is possible.
 

Beginning of the Book

Grace Donner felt strangely out of place as she walked into the Blushing Bay Café with her decade-old laptop and ordered a coffee and blueberry muffin.

"Oh," Grace wondered if it had anything to do with the woman  she'd seen Noah with the other night.

Since I am participating in the author's blog tour for her new series (I'm scheduled for April 20th) I'll be posting a review, excerpt, etc., so check back  at my blog next Thursday.

What do you think?  I loved the author's first series and couldn't wait when I heard she had a new series coming out.  Hope to see you at the blog tour on my blog on the 20th.  What are you reading?

    1. Oh well, we all like different books. I don't care for sci fi and dystopian. But us all liking different things, makes life more interesting!

  2. After the opening sentence, I'd keep reading to find out why Grace felt out of place. This sounds like a book I'd enjoy.
    My Friday post features Still Alice.
