Lexie moved to the middle of the back seat and leaned in. “Are we allowed to touch him?”

Amused by the two hovering over the joey, he nodded. “I’ll be two minutes. Just have to move the mama a little farther off the road.”

“Take your time,” Lexie replied without looking at him, her full attention now on the little survivor.

It didn’t take Jesse long to move the roo, before he returned to the car. A smile tugged at his lips when he saw Zoe cuddling the small animal in a very protective way.

“Okay, let’s get you to your car. It’s not far from here.” He shifted in his seat and said to Lexie, “I’m sorry to interrupt this moment of bonding, but I’ll need you to buckle up again.”

With a smile she sat back and agreed, “Of course.”

Today’s Snippet

“I’m near Bells Beach, hoping to get to ride the surf there.” Jon looked out the small window and into the dark distance where the moon shone in all its glory. “And I haven’t made it to Melbourne, yet, let alone Sydney.”

“Mate, we miss you here.”

Keith’s words were spoken in no more than a whisper, but the goosebumps on Jon’s arms reflected the intensity of it. “I miss you guys, too, but I have to do this.”

“Have to?”

Jon blew out a breath. “I have to figure out what I want to do.”

Silence hung heavy between them until his friend broke it. “I could take some time off and join you at Bells Beach.”

Grenade Bouquets by Lee Matthew Goldberg with you today!

Goodreads ~ Amazon

Book Description:

I had stars in my eyes and I couldn’t see around them…

The year is 1995 and my parents have finally allowed me to take the summer to tour in a VW van across the country with my boyfriend Evan and our band. Yes, my dream to be a singer became reality. Even with Clarissa, Evan’s jealous ex-girlfriend, as the lead singer, it’s my presence on stage that led us to a major record deal. There are moments you’ll always remember in life, but I can’t imagine anything more cool than hearing your song on the radio for the first time.

But being a Rockstar isn’t as easy as it sounds. Using alcohol and drugs as coping mechanisms, nothing but tension surrounded me, hurting my still blossoming relationship, and continued grieving over my sister’s death.

A love letter to the nineties and a journey of a girl becoming a woman, Grenade Bouquets charts the rollercoaster ride of a band primed to explode on the scene, as long as they keep from actually exploding.

He wasn’t able to move aside fast enough for Zoe to swap to the front. With a chuckle, he stepped to the back of the car, opened the boot, and retrieved a few blankets which he handed to Zoe. Then he returned to the joey and carefully took him out of the pouch before placing him into the blankets on the girl’s lap.

“Keep him nice and warm,” he explained. “Joeys need lots of warmth.”

She bobbed her head eagerly again as she carefully wrapped the little animal into the blankets. “He’s so tiny. Will he be okay?”

“We’ll take him to the animal shelter and they’ll look after him. He appears in good shape. I’d say his chances are better than average.”

“Jon here.”

“Jono. How are you? Where are you?”

A smile tugged at Jon’s lips. He was glad to hear from his friend, Keith. They had a lot to catch up on, yet, Jon also appreciated the distraction from his note-writing adventure.

“I’m in a small place along the Great Ocean Road.”

Keith chuckled. “Must be small. The connection is crap.” He paused. “Tell me, when are you coming home?”

Wasn’t that the million-dollar-question. It’d been ten months since he’d woken up in a hospital barely surviving a heart attack. A heart attack. Him. He was in his mid-thirties and had already Escaped death on his CV.

#BlogTour “The Girl from Silent Lake” by Leslie Wolfe @wnovels @SDSXX

Detective Kay Sharp Book 1
by Leslie Wolfe
Genre: Mystery, Thriller
“Wow!!!! It simply took my breath away so much that I finished this book in one go! Literally took my breath away! I simply couldn’t put the book down. Unputdownable.” Tropical Girl Reads Books, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Her daughter, with emerald eyes and the sweetest smile, is everything to her. Her whole world. “Mommy,” the little girl says, touching her mother’s face with trembling fingers before she’s torn away. “Don’t cry.” Will she ever see her again?
When single mother Alison Nolan sets off with her six-year-old daughter, Hazel, she can’t wait to spend precious time with her girl. A vacation in Silent Lake, where snow-topped mountains are surrounded by the colors of fall, is just what they need. But hours later, Alison and Hazel vanish into thin air.
Detective Kay Sharp rushes to the scene. The only evidence that they were ever there is an abandoned rental car with a suitcase in the back, gummy bears in the open glove compartment and a teddy bear on the floor.
Kay’s mind spins. A week before, the body of another woman from out of town was found wrapped in a blanket, her hair braided and tied with feathers. Instinct tells her that the cases are connected––and it won’t be long until more innocent lives are lost.
As Kay leads a frenzied search, time is against her, but she vows that Alison and little Hazel will be found alive. She works around the clock, even though the small town is up in arms, saying she’s asking too many questions. Then she uncovers a vital clue – a photograph of the blanket that the first victim was buried in.
Just when Kay thinks she’s found the missing piece, she realises she’s being watched. Is she getting too close, or is her own past catching up with her?
With a little girl’s life on the line, Kay will stop at nothing. But will it be enough to get inside the mind of the most twisted killer she has ever encountered, or will another blameless child be taken?
A totally gripping and utterly pulse-pounding crime thriller series for readers who love Lisa Regan, Robert Dugoni and Kendra Elliot. This twist-packed page-turner gives “unputdownable” a whole new meaning!
**Only .99 cents!!**
Leslie Wolfe is a bestselling author whose novels break the mold of traditional thrillers. She creates unforgettable, brilliant, strong women heroes who deliver fast-paced, satisfying suspense, backed up by extensive background research in technology and psychology.

Exclusive Excerpt:

When they came to another stream, the Captain and Sarge pulled out the map to get their bearings. Once assured of their direction, the team entered the stream to cross. Without warning the Captain lifted Elyse into his arms and stepped into the stream.

“I can cross on my own, Elijah. Is it alright if I call you that?”

He liked the sound of his name on her lips and he nodded his head. “I’m hanging onto you till we cross, since I don’t want a replay of

yesterday’s antics.” They were mid-stream now. “And we know you can’t follow orders.”

“Again, you forget yourself, I don’t take orders,” Elyse replied.

Nodding his head, he gave her a long cool look. “Is that so?” He dropped her right into the stream.

Elyse initially came up sputtering, snarling, and ready for battle but, instead, she refused to give him the satisfaction. So, she gave him her back and finished the crossing, struggling up the embankment on the other side. She made it up with a helping hand from one of the team, all of whom struggled to squelch their laughter before turning back to glare at the Captain.

Elijah had just climbed up the embankment himself and was teetering on the edge. He gave her a wolfish, appreciative smile as his gaze touched on the wet shirt clinging to her curves with her twin peaks enticingly pushing through the thin fabric.

Elyse realized the show she was giving him, and with a snarl and a side kick to the chest, she sent him sprawling spread eagle back into the stream. Ignoring the looks of the other men, she strode angrily away, trying desperately to pull the shirt away from the contours of her body.

A soaking wet Elijah climbed back up the embankment and stood glaring at Elyse. She turned to face him, and with a sweet smile, said, “Blackbelt.”

He pointed his finger at her. “You… I’m going to haul you back and throw your sweet ass back into that ditch.”

Both, Lexie and her daughter, stared at him. “How?” Lexie asked with suspicion in her voice.

He nodded, knowing he should’ve explained himself more. “The kangaroo is dead, but she has a little joey still alive inside her pouch.” Their faces relaxed and something like sympathy took over. “It’d be a great help, if Zoe could sit at the front with a few blankets and hold on to the little fella until we get to your car.”

The girl’s eyes beamed and her head bobbed up and down in excitement while she unbuckled her seat belt at the same time. He hoped this favour would break the awkward silence between them all while driving to their car.

“Will that be okay?” he asked Lexie.

“Absolutely,” she replied with a smile.
