This week I'm featuring The Buy-In (Graham Brothers #1) by Emma St. Clair. I can't even tell you how much I loved this romcom! It's awesome! Thanks Cindy's Book Corner for the recommendation!
When a family of former pro football players buy a small Texas town, they didn't intend to start a war with its residents ... or to fall in love.
Ever since his career-ending injury, Pat has bounced from job to job, idea to idea, short-lived relationship to short-lived relationship. But when his father purchases the town of Sheet Cake, Pat suddenly sees his life with clear purpose: get his brothers on board with his dad's wild idea and win back the one woman who got away.
Lindy was supposed to be traveling the world, not stuck in a small town, caring for her niece. But she would do anything to keep custody of Jo--even if that looks like a marriage of convenience with the man who already broke her heart once.
Now if she can only keep herself from falling back in love with her husband...
This is a small town, marriage of convenience romantic comedy with plenty of sizzle while keeping the bedroom door closed. It's the first in a spinoff series following Harper's brothers (from Falling for Your Best Friend). You don't need to have read the Love Clichés series first to enjoy this book.

Book Beginnings / First Line Friday
"You bought a what?"
Friday 56
I lean back against the counter, closing my eyes. This is a mistake. Isn’t it? Everything in my life feels so infinitely fragile. I’m like the little pig who’s built a house of toothpicks and tissue paper, and Pat is the big bad wolf, here to blow it down with one breath.
What have you been reading lately?
Glad you enjoyed it. Here is my CWW https://moretoodiscover.blogspot.com/2022/07/book-spotlight-fridays-extraordinary.html

DeleteMy first line comes from Heirlooms by Sandra Byrd:
ReplyDeleteMarch 1958
Helen Devries carefully removed her nurse’s cap, fluffing her platinum , back combed bouffant, crackling the Aqua Net laquering it in place.
Thanks for coming by, Paula! Hope you have a great weekend! :)

ReplyDeleteI’m just starting Hope Between the Pages by Pepper Basham, so I’ll share a line from there.
“For the entire afternoon, I waited for a summons to meet with Mrs. Vanderbilt, but the fateful moment never came.”
I hope you have a good weekend!
