Favorite First Lines

I have a confession: the first line of a book is one of my favorite things. It's right up there with chocolate. Give me a good quirky line, shock me or wow me and I'll buy your book on the spot. Yes, I'm that easy.

So, today I'm going to share some of my all time favorite first lines. Here we go:


The day Kevin Tucker nearly killed her, Molly Somerville swore off unrequited love forever – This Heart of Mine, Susan Elizabeth Phillips



“Let me get this straight,” Jodie Pulanski said. “You want to give Cal Bonner a woman for a birthday present.”
Nobody's Baby But Mine, Susan Elizabeth Phillips


If Annabelle hadn’t found a body lying under “Sherman,” she wouldn’t have been late for her appointment with the Phython.
Match Me If You Can, Susan Elizabeth Phillips




If Darcy Jensen had known she was going to be kidnapped, she would have worn better shoes.
The Marcelli Bride, Susan Mallery


Okay, so here's the thing. My mother's worst fear has come true. I'm a nymphomaniac.
Hot Six, Janet Evanovitch


Mia Marcelli was used to sleeping alone so it came as something of a shock to wake up with astrange man in her bed.
The Marcelli Princess, Susan Mallery

One hot August Thursday afternoon, Maddie Farraday reached under the front seat of her husband's Cadillac and pulled out a pair of black lace underpants. They weren't hers.
Tell Me Lies, Jennifer Crusie


Francesca Marcelli had only been pregnant for twenty minutes and already her back hurt.
