First Line Friday

Image
  First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines? Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page. Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first. Finally… reveal the book! My First Line........ I ac explain.  At my side, Sophie Cunningham pressed her small plump hans together and shifted from one sneaker clad foot to the other.  My Library Book.......

FREE: Rebel Rage MC Rocker from Addy Archer Go grab this standalone biker/rockstar ebook NOW. Limited time only ends March 17, 2026! RebelRageMCRocker Notorious rockstar, guitarist, biker, Prez, heart-stealing bad boy. I fit many labels and have been called every name in the book by women who don’t get what they want; me. I couldn’t care less, I live by my own rules and take what I want. Things take a spin when a woman doesn’t worship the ground I walk on but instead flat out refuses me. The rocker life isn’t for everyone, neither is the biker life; good thing I thrive in both worlds and won’t back down for anything or anyone. Especially when it involves an intriguing woman. She might be on the run for a past filled with death and fear, but it holds no place in the future I have in mind for the both of us. If we still have one after the music fades, the lights come on, and the screams are silenced. Add to Goodreads: goodreads.com/book/show/57999605-rebel-rage-mc-rocker
