Book Beginnings & Friday 56 - #86

Book Beginnings on Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Gilion at Rose City Reader. Every Friday we share the first sentence (or so) of the book we’re currently reading, along with your initial thoughts about the sentence, impressions of the book, or anything else the opener inspires.

My Book Beginning:  

A Soldier Finds His Way (A Veteran's Heart, Book 1) by Irene Onorato

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have just been cleared to land at Stewart International Airport. 

My Thoughts:  The beginning doesn't really tell us much but that's okay because I'm sure we'll find out a lot more soon.  

What do you think?  Don't forget to leave your book beginning below and to link-up at Rose City Reader.

My 56 (Also from A Soldier Finds His Way – about 56% on Kindle):  

Audra paused at the door.  Could Edward actually be on the other side? Her trembling hand reached for the doorknob.  As the door opened, a light breeze danced in, carrying with it the scent of lilies.

My Thoughts:  This sounds like it has some potential, as far as a contemporary romance goes. I look forward to reading this book to find out what's going on with the characters. 

So what do you think?  Do the teasers tempt you? Don’t forget to leave your link below and to link up at Freda’s Voice. 

About A Soldier Finds His Way (A Veteran’s Heart, Book 1) by Irene Onorato

Sometimes getting lost is the best way home . . .

After a painful youth spent in foster homes, Special Forces soldier Edward Giordano has all but given up on love. Returning to New York from a dangerous mission in Costa Rica with no one to welcome him home, he knows he must find a way through his bitterness and embrace faith, or he’s destined for misery and loneliness. But he never expects that saving someone else’s life might help him save his own…

Audra Lorenzo is a first-year school teacher with a bright future. All she’s missing is a man to share her happiness. Her father wants her to rekindle her relationship with her ex-boyfriend, but she can’t stop thinking about the handsome, kind, and courageous soldier who rescued her from a near-deadly car accident…

Edward too, has not stopped thinking of Audra. After making peace with God and with his difficult past, he’s ready to re-connect with her and reveal his feelings. Edward knows that opening his heart will mean risking pain, but he’s prepared for whatever comes—from a perilous deployment to Audra’s meddling father…
