Book Beginnings on Fridays is hosted each week by Rose City Reader. It’s a chance to share the first sentence or so of the book you are reading this week. You can check out others’ book beginnings here. I’m also going to link up with Carrie at Reading Is My Superpower for First Line Friday. And I’ll be sharing for Friday 56 with Anne at Head Full of Books! She’s keeping the meme alive – y’all hop over to her blog and join in the fun!
This week’s book beginning:
Synopsis:
Gloria Bachman has pivoted so many times this year she has whiplash. Now, in the middle of winter and drenched in Mexican sunshine at a five-star resort, she has a role as Mason Lassiter’s “arm candy” in a sting to nab his not-actually-dead first wife, Patsy. It didn’t make any sense to her, either, but who argues with government officials offering an expense-paid trip and a reason for a new beach wardrobe?
With Patsy leading resort security, FBI agents, and Mason a merry chase, Gloria knows that if you want to catch a woman of a certain age, you have to think like a woman of a certain age. Thankfully, she’s got the credentials.
If only she could understand the other people in her life—particularly Gardner Rogers. Gloria returns home to Comfort, Texas with a ring and a pressing need to organize her house and a custom order of Sweeties signature truffles to be delivered to White House chefs. When her business partner embarks on last-minute travel plans, one of her best friends announces a retirement, romances bloom from unlikely sources, and Gardner and her ex-husband, Harry Rogers, come unhinged—quite publicly—it all forces Gloria to face her strangest challenges yet.
This final book in the Comfort and Joy trilogy weaves happy endings for the townsfolk that readers have come to love, and just deserts for those they don’t. It’s Kimberly Fish at her finest, and a treasure for brave people who don’t retire quietly.
Infuriated by the yoga class, Gloria yanked the door of the studio open, limping toward cooler air.
Mason lifted his knife and cut the filet into multiple even slices, lost in his thoughts. “This is the first time in my life I’ve had to take out a loan.”
Does Home to Comfort sound like a book you’d enjoy? If you think you might, keep an eye out for my review shortly!
Book Blogger Hop is hosted by Coffee Addicted Writer. It starts each Friday and runs through the following Thursday. Each week, there’s a new prompt featuring a book-related question. It’s designed to give bloggers a chance to follow other blogs, learn about new books, make new blogging friends, and gain followers. See what others have to say on this topic and link up your own post here.
If I only read series one after the other, there are a lot of series I’d never read! I have no problem reading one book in a series and then reading other things while I wait for the next in the series to be released. I have too many books on the TBR to just sit around and wait!
What about you? Do you have to have the whole series so you can binge read it, or can you read other things in between? Leave a comment here and stop by the blog hop to share your thoughts there!
I am with you, I can’t be sitting around waiting on the next book in the series. However, if I do have the option to binge a whole series, I will do it in a heartbeat. Have a great weekend!
