"The sex with Mom was good, and for once, I was in the mood for it."

A few days ago I asked this question in the Kindle Blogs. Got a lot of answers, thought I would share these.:

If you're like me, you look at the cover and go quickly to chapter one, read the opening line and start the decision process. Do I buy it? Maybe you read the opening line of chapter two. It either grabs you or it doesn't. What is your favorite opening line? One that you wrote. And tell us what book please, might want to buy it.

Here's one of mine from my latest novel, First to Die.
