book beginnings on Friday: Breaking Point by Dana Haynes

Thanks to Katy at A Few More Pages for hosting this meme. To participate, share the first line or two of the book you are currently reading and, if you feel so moved, let us know what your first impressions were based on that first line.


Breaking Point is the second thriller by Dana Haynes, involving a team of plane crash investigators known as “crashers” and their action-packed adventures versus the bad guys. We begin:

Dr. Leonard Tomzak was a modern American male. He knew it was considered inappropriate to stare openly at a pretty girl with long legs as she approached. Especially in public.

Interesting beginning, hm? Gives the impression that this guy might be a jerk, but I urge you to give him another two pages and you’ll like him better.

What are you reading this weekend?

This quotation comes from an uncorrected advance proof and is subject to change.

  1. He sounds kind of honest, though. And as if he might be trying to be “appropriate.” LOL

    Thanks for sharing…

  2. This is better than the Teaser Tuesdays meme, because it’s not up to us which lines to share. Essentially, that makes it more fair in a way.

  3. 🙂 You’re right, he does sound like he might be a jerk–but maybe he has a good excuse for being inappropriate? Thanks for participating in Book Beginnings!
