Welcome to First Line Friday!
Today I'm featuring
The Santa Run by Beth Pugh.
As Christmas rounds the bend, Eliza Lee Elliott struggles with her grandfather's death. Though her faith has carried her through the grief, working at the Appalachian Express has kept her sane, especially her new task of coordinating The Santa Run. Pine Valley's oldest tradition not only serves the community, the run gives her purpose. Bennett Olsen is tired of city life. Something's got to give, and when McCoy Railway purchases the Appalachian Express, it gives in a big way. Supervising the Kentucky acquisition is his chance to slow down and win back the attention of his boss--and father--with a job well done.
When an accident threatens the Santa Run, Eliza and Bennett are pushed together at every turn, making their growing attraction impossible to ignore. As time ticks down to the event, tradition isn't the only thing in jeopardy. Hearts are on the line, with or without a train on the tracks.
The first line is ...
Lights from the Christmas tree in the far corner of the office flashed rhythmically, their reflection barely visible on the computer screen as Eliza Lee Elliot checked her newly cleaned-out inbox for the umpteenth time.
Sounds like a fun Christmas story! Thanks for sharing your review! ?
You’re welcome!
I’m definitely getting in the mood for Christmas books, and this sounds like a good one. 😀
Me too!
My first line today is from Millstone of Doubt by Erica Vetsch:
Thorndike House- London- March 1, 1816
The problem with concealing a weapon beneath a day dress at a social gathering became all too apparent to Lady Juliette Thorndike the moment she sat beside the Dowager Duchess of Haverly.
I’m looking forward to reading that one!
Happy Friday!
My first line is coming from Honor Bound by Hallee Bridgeman.
Captain Rick Norton crouched near the edge of the dirt road. Ears still ringing from the intense firefight, the smell of gunpowder burning his nose, he looked around, counting team members.”

I’m currently reading A King for Christmas by Brooke St. James.
“I looked at my brother, putting the receiver in my lap, and muffling it in my shirt so that James couldn’t hear me.”
I hope you have a great weekend! Happy reading!
Thanks! And yay for Christmas books! ?
