First Line Friday | September 5th, 2025

First Line Fridays is a bookish meme created and hosted by Hoarding Books. The rules are simple, post the first line(s) of the novel you’re currently reading or in my case next up on your TBR. then head on over to Hoarding Books and link up. (also, if you’re a romance reader loving on those ab covers, be sure to write (mature) next to your linky if your post shows mature content.)

Last week I shared the first line to Fumbled Hearts by Meagan Brandy, so today I’m sharing the first line from Defenseless Hearts by Meagan Brandy. I recently finished this novel and my review will be posted tomorrow! I have to say I’m becoming obsessed with this world that Meagan Brandy has created! I’m loving it!!

My First Line:

“I’m pregnant.”
My mouth opens, but words fail
me as I stare at the girl in front of me.

Synopsis:

After months of silence, here she stands on my front porch, waiting to be let in again. But it’s the same play every time, and I know how this ends – I give her all I have and she carries it with her on the way back to him.I should turn her away, but I won’t. Couldn’t do it if I tried.Because no matter how many times she pops back up, pulls me in and drags me under, it will never be enough. I’ll always want more. More of her. More for us.And she’ll always choose him.
