Book Beginnings + Friday 56: Olive (Rainbow Falls #2) by Heather Gray

Book Beginnings is a weekly meme hosted by Rose City Reader that asks you to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you're reading. Friday 56 is hosted by Freda's Voice and asks you to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your ereader and share a non-spoilery sentence or two. I'm also linking up with Carrie at Reading is My Superpower for First Line Friday.

This week I'm featuring Olive (Rainbow Falls #2) by Heather Gray.

About the Book (From Goodreads)

Rainbow Falls…where life is filled with vivid color.

Olive Green’s world has turned upside down. The future she thought she was building is gone. Now she’s an unemployed CPA forced to move back home and sleep on an air mattress at her sister’s while picking up temp work to survive. Only, this latest temp job requires an NDA before she even goes to the interview. And the man who opens the door? Yeah, he’s not at all what she expected.

Damien Rhoades had it all – or so he thought. His voice was on every country music station, and he had the bank account to prove it. When reality crashed in on him, though, he ran from the bright lights of fame and from the God he’d once promised to serve. Isolation has become his self-inflicted punishment, his way of atoning for past sins too numerous to count and too dark to face. Then Olive bursts into his life driving her muscle car and lighting up his home with laughter.

Can a woman who feels adrift in her life be a guiding light? Will a man barricaded behind walls fortified with shame be strong enough to let the light in?

Book Beginnings / First Line Friday

Olive Green stared, mouth hanging open, as her longtime friend slid a document across the desk to her.

Ruby nodded once. "It's a mostly standard non-disclosure agreement, but read it before you sign it."

Friday 56

Olive's eyes were almost closed when movement in her doorway tugged her back from the brink of sleep.
