Welcome to First Line Friday!
Today I’m featuring
Hooked on You by Kathleen Fuller.
When her grandmother injures herself sliding into third base, Riley McAllister must return to her small hometown to help run the family yarn store in this sweet, lighthearted romantic comedy.
Riley McAllister left the small Arkansas town of Maple Falls after graduating high school, hoping to make it big in New York as a mixed media artist. She’s still pursuing her dream when her grandmother begs her to come home and help her manage the store while she recovers from a broken leg she got after sliding into third base during a church softball game (she was safe, by the way). Riley agrees, planning to convince her grandmother to sell the old shop and retire so Riley can get back to the big city. New York is where she belongs, not some hick town that doesn’t even have a decent coffee shop.
Hayden Price’s life hasn’t turned out as he expected either. He still works in the hardware store his family has owned for several generations after his chance to make it out of Maple Falls ended when he blew out his pitching arm during a minor league game. Stuck with debt from college and a broken engagement, he decides to make the best of things when he comes back to Maple Falls and puts together the town’s first church softball team–with him as coach, of course.
Riley and Hayden went to high school together but ran in totally different circles. In fact, it’s safe to say they hated each other. Will that change when the softball team unexpectedly brings them together? Or will the pain and disappointment of their past failures keep them from discovering love in Maple Falls?

Now it’s your turn. Pull out the book beside you and tell us the first line.
My first line is from Dusk’s Darkest Shores by Carolyn Miller:
Amberly, Lake District, England. March 1811
Music and laughter swirled through the assembly room, a shiney animated scene within a life-sized bauble.
That’s a beautiful first line.
Happy Saturday! I have that one in my tbr! Today, I’m sharing the first line from The Nature of a Lady by Roseanna M. White. “He was a prince at sea. That’s what John Mucknell shouted whenever battle was upon him.”
