Happy Friday, my bookish friends! First Line Friday is hosted by Carrie at Reading is My SuperPower!! I am also linking up with Gilion on Rose City Reader for Book Beginnings. This is where you share the beginning of the book that you are reading. This week I am reading Sprinkled with Sabotage by by Allison Pearl.
I trust him with my life. Just not with my heart.
Book Beginnings:
I trust him with my life. Just not with my heart.
Elizabeth Bennett remembered using those words to describe her relationship with Koby Knightly-if one could even call it that. But was that trust enough of a justification to dial her ex-boyfriends number? She looked back over shoulder at the dark, snow-lined sidewalk. Seconds prior, she'd been certain she heard feet chasing her, but now, there was nothing. Only the sound of her high heels clicking on the uneven concrete as she hurried home from dinner. Why hadn't she called a cab? Or even hopped on a bus?
Synopsis (Goodreads):
Lizzy Bennet loves life as a lawyer in the city.
And not just because of the miles it puts between her and her ex.
However, when she’s attacked on the street just hours after learning her
identity was stolen, she tries to call home for help and ends up with
the last person she expects: the very same high school boyfriend who
broke her heart. He says he’s there to help, but she’s not so sure, and
now, all the endless questions and regrets are clouding her judgment and
preventing her from seeing the dangerous saboteur closing in.
Small-town
auto mechanic, Koby Knightly, is looking forward to seeing a car show
in the city. But when an unexpected call from his old girlfriend
disconnects suddenly, he rushes to her aid. Throwing his plans out the
window, Koby makes it his mission to protect her and discover the
identity of the person trying to frame her. Will he also be able to
figure out what went wrong between them back in high school or will a
killer get to her first?
