I’ve been on a Meagan Brandy kick as of lately. Today, I’m sharing the first line(s) of the book I just finished reading by Meagan Brandy, Trust Me Always! If you love friends to lovers with a fake relationship twist, you should consider Brady and Cameron’s story!!

My First Line:

“You’ve either got bigger balls than the ones I saw or you’re looking
to get your ass kicked.” I cross my arms over my chest, not giving
two shits that the door he needs is the one behind me.

Synopsis:

Fake dating one football player while his teammate tries to win me back is going to be one hell of a ride…

I loathe the day I ran smack dab into the hard chest of Alister Howl, Avix University’s second-string quarterback. The moment he smiled my way I should’ve run. And, well, I did … straight into his bed.

That was before I learned he was nothing but a liar. He ruined everything before it even began.

Unfortunately for me, he takes my dismissal as a challenge and comes back twice as hard.

I didn’t think it would work, but the man’s relentless, and now I’m wavering when I’m not so sure I should.

How can I be with him if I can’t trust him?

And that right there is exactly how I end up at a party, locking lips with the campus playboy and ultimate bachelor, Brady freaking Lancaster.

One second, I’m hiding from Alister in some sorority house and the next … I’m “Brady’s girl”.

I have no idea how it happened or where things go from here.

But one thing is for sure, fake dating one football player while his teammate tries to win me back is going to be one hell of a ride…
