Book Beginnings, First Line Friday, & Friday 56: Wedding at Sea (Muir Harbor #3) by Melissa Tagg

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 Wedding at Sea (Muir Harbor #3) by Melissa Tagg. This was so good! The perfect conclusion to this series. It releases this coming Thursday, June 29, and I'll have my review up that day, if you want to come back and check it out. 

About the Book (From Goodreads)

Lilian doesn’t remember anything about her life before the day Maggie Muir found her on her front porch—a toddler, abandoned and alone. And maybe that’s okay. She has a beautiful life at Muir Farm, including an adopted family she adores and a successful career as a lawyer. But she also has a secret . . . one that raises just as many questions about her future as it does her unknown past.

And, of course, it would be private investigator Wilder Monroe, her brother’s best friend and the bane of her existence, who sniffs out her secret before anyone else.

Wilder has spent the past three years trying to close the one case his father couldn’t—the mystery of Maggie Muir’s long-lost granddaughter. But the decades-long search has become more tangled than ever. It’s become more personal, too. Not only are the Muirs the closest thing to family he has left, but if he can solve this mystery, maybe he'll keep himself from drowning in the one he can’t . . . the truth about his father’s death.

In the midst of secrets and swirling questions, Maggie asks a favor of both Lilian and put aside their bickering and work together to plan her summer wedding. It’s a big ask, made all the more difficult when danger comes calling at Muir Farm. But if the two enemies can stand each other long enough to pull off the event of the year, they just might solve a mystery in the process.

And the biggest discovery of all? That sometimes the one your heart longs for is the last person you ever would've expected.

Book Beginnings / First Line Friday

The houseboat bobbed on choppy waters, little more than an inky shadow against the faintest shards of moonlight.

Friday 56 (I had a hard time finding a snippet at 56% that wasn't a spoiler, so this one is from 57%)

Lilian was weeping by the time she finished the letter, the words blurring in front of her as she let the frayed single page fall into her lap.
