This week’s Hook …

“Thanks. I thought so, too,” he replied. “Had to dig deep to remember how to do all of it.”

“Isn’t that your job?” Josh asked.

Josh was Mia’s boyfriend. They’d been going out for the last three years and were still going strong, a major feat considering they were in the strife of their teenaged years.

Jared was tempted to explain the difference between a florist and landscaping to Josh as well but decided not to.

He didn’t have to, after all.

“He’s a landscaper,” Sophie added to the conversation. “There’s a big difference.”

Jared cocked an eyebrow towards Sophie, who was desperately trying to get her three-year-old daughter, Hope, to drink her milk before her afternoon nap. He knew very well that she never understood the difference either.

Josh chuckled. “Yeah, mate, but green is green, and plants are plants. Right?”

This week’s Hook …

In the end, he’d given up and simply said yes.

He stretched his neck and hooked a finger inside his shirt collar, trying to get more comfortable. In his mind, suits should come with a little warning of Discomfort inevitable or something along that line. No wonder he’d never owned one. Sophie Levesque had helped him choose a nice outfit for the day from a local shop, and he had laughed at her comment that the suit needed to be right. It needed to go along with his brown eyes and dark blond hair, but it also needed to emphasise his physique.

What a lot of nonsense!

When she’d insisted he needed a haircut as well, he plain refused. The amount of time and effort he’d spent on buying a suit for one day was almost beyond his comprehension.

Smoothing the lapels of his jacket, he took in the flower arrangements in the chapel. A sense of pride rose in him at how well it’d come together after all. Natasha had been so determined to use roses, but in the end she’d listened to his advice, and chosen November Lilies. They were everywhere, including the bouquet, and the arrangements came off stunning yet humble. Exactly what she’d told him she wanted.

“You did well with the flowers,” Mia whispered in his ear, hauling him back from his thoughts.

“Thanks. I thought so, too,” he replied. “Had to dig deep to remember how to do all of it.”

This week’s Hook …

Jared Fraser took in the cheerful and relaxed atmosphere of the packed chapel. Every pew was filled, and ushers did their best showing the guests to their seats. Surprising, because he’d been told it was going to be a small ceremony, with only close friends attending. More surprising, however, was that he had received an invitation since the wedding couple, Zach and Natasha, weren’t even programmed into his phone speed dial and there were ten speed dial buttons. Or maybe twelve? He wasn’t sure.

Natasha had come to see him a few months earlier and asked him whether he would be able to help with the floral arrangements.

“Darling, I’m a landscaper, not a florist,” he’d explained.

She’d stared at him with her beautiful dark blue eyes. “Your point is?”

Pinching the bridge of his nose with his finger and thumb, he had replied, “You’ve studied at university. Didn’t they tell you about the difference?”

“Jared. I studied teaching, not botany.”

“FRESH BEGINNINGS” by Iris Blobel #Romance #oneclick #Bookreview #Kindleunlimited

~~  Fresh Beginnings ~~
by Iris Blobel

Amazon – 4 stars
It follows the love story of Jared Fraser and Ivy Bennett. Fraser is heading off on holiday from Hobart in Australia to America for his first holiday overseas and he is quite a workaholic it seems so this is a big deal for him to do. On the way he meets Bennett who is hitchhiking after leaving her boyfriend. This book quickly gets emotional with Bennett’s storyline with her mother who she hasn’t seen in years and her ongoing feelings for Fraser. But Bennett isn’t the only one with issues. Fraser is secretly wrecked with guilt about his previous relationship. His former girlfriend was seriously injured in a car accident after a row over him not wanting to marry her and live with her instead. Personally I could understand where he was coming from. After all in this generation most people do live together and they are just as committed as married couples. But I still liked the former girlfriend. She seemed a nice person in many ways even if she was controlling and tried to pressure Fraser into marriage by guilt-tripping. It would have been so much better if they had just agreed they wanted different things and left each other but then that wouldn’t have added half as much drama to the story so kudos to the writer on that one. “

Jared Fraser, a landscape business owner in Hobart, Australia, sets out for a holiday to the USA to travel along the Route 66 in a motorhome. Looking forward to his first holiday overseas, he’s excited as he prepares himself for the journey. But little could’ve prepared him for crossing paths with a beautiful hitchhiker.

Will he be able to put his past aside and grab onto happiness?

Ivy Bennett thought leaving her boyfriend would be the hard part. It doesn’t take long to figure out how wrong she was. As she struggles with making a new start in her life, the last person she expects to lead her to happiness is a laid-back Australian on vacation.

But she will have to say goodbye again? And not only to Jared.

♥♦♥  EXCERPT ♥♦♥

Ivy enjoyed being with Jared. During their drive towards the Grand Canyon he told her of his home and described as much of Tasmania as possible.
“I always imagined Australia to be hot with white beaches and beautiful water.”
“That’s up in the north in Queensland,” he explained. “We have spectacular beaches as well. Tasmania is a small island in the very south. The last step before the Antarctica, so to speak.”
“That sounds cold!”
He laughed. “It clearly isn’t Queensland.” Settling his gaze on her, he continued, “But it has beautiful beaches as well. And a wonderful marine life. And the mountains. We have some stunning mountains in Tassie.”
“Tassie?”
“Tasmania.”
“It sounds beautiful.”
He agreed. “Yes, it is. One of the best places on earth.”
Once they arrived at the National Park, they found a parking spot and walked towards the edge of the Canyon. She touched his arm to get his attention. Not that she needed to. His attentive nature drew her to him, and she couldn’t get enough of listening to him.
“I feel bad that you pay for everything,” she said in a low voice.
Jared waved his hand. “Nah. It’s only money and luckily the Australian dollar is—”
“Whether you can or can’t afford it, it doesn’t matter. I don’t like it.”
He stopped and turned towards her, causing heat inside her body. Her breath caught but she kept walking, yet, it took him only a few steps to catch up with her and, by way of placing his hand on her shoulder, to stop her.
“Wanna tell me why?”
Avoiding his stare, she lifted her shoulder in a casual shrug.
“A shrug is not really an answer, ya know that, right?”
Yes, she knew that. How could she tell him that she’d left Dylan because he’d spent all the money she’d worked so hard for? She didn’t want to be in the same situation, as in spending someone else’s hard-earned money. But deep inside she didn’t want to hurt Jared, either. She was enjoying her time with him so much, she wasn’t ready for it to end because of some silly pride.
Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted a little squirrel in the bushes and despite some guilt inside, it was a perfect distraction.
“Look!” she said louder than she’d intended. “A squirrel.”
With great relief, she noticed how her devious plan had worked. Jared quickly grabbed his camera and kneeled down to get the best shot possible of this little creature.
Kneeling next to him, she asked, “Don’t you have squirrels?”
Still trying to get that perfect photo of the little creature, he whispered, “Nope.”

Today’s Hook:

Back in the motorhome, he packed everything away and returned to the main road. Next stop was the Grand Canyon. It was roughly a two-hour drive to Williams and another half hour to find somewhere to stay. He intended to get there before dark. The scenery on the way hadn’t changed much. It was still lacking green, but had an Australian outback feel to it. It looked beautiful but hostile at the same time. The dry land, with only a bit of green colour sprinkled in between. However, a few miles before Williams it changed with some trees appearing. Yet, the temperature had made a big dive, too.
Jared filled up with some petrol before heading towards the campground. He loved the little place and its atmosphere, but unfortunately, he was too tired to go out that night to enjoy some local cuisine or meet some people.
Tired? He’d spent all day driving in that small motorhome, so of course he was. Focussing on the wrong side of the road had been exhausting indeed, especially when his mind constantly kept going back to that beautiful flower girl. She had settled in the back of his head and simply wouldn’t leave. Not even when he was fast asleep later that night.

Today’s Hook:

And he chuckled some more.
“I’d better go. It was really nice meeting you. And I honestly appreciate you helping me out.”
He turned and locked the doors to the motorhome. Yet, she wasn’t moving.
“Ivy.”
“Hmm?”
Watching her carefully, he said. “Your feet aren’t movin’.”
Her beautiful eyes filled up with tears, and a bit of guilt went through Jared for pushing her. Obviously, her impression of him being a criminal couldn’t have been all that bad, because she wasn’t leaving. Exhaling a big breath, he met her gaze. Nothing was going to plan, so why not?
“Wanna come a little farther?” he asked as he rubbed the back of his neck.
To his surprise, she shook her head. “No.” Drawing in her lips, she stepped back and then said. “Bye, Jared.”
Still carrying some guilt, he watched her walk across the car park and into the distance. “Nice knowing ya,” he said to himself before he turned and headed towards the shopping centre.
Jared’s mind wasn’t on shopping at all. Instead, he replayed the last twelve hours and the few words that had been spoken between him and Ivy. She had been like a closed book, and he still didn’t know why she was running. In fact, she hadn’t said much at all. It had driven him nearly insane how she had nibbled at her sandwich, although her craving for food had been obvious. Yes, he had been attracted to her. But that would’ve been one big disaster. Hooking up with an American girl was not something he needed. Not to mention a runaway at that.
A criminal.
He let out a snort. For all he knew, she could’ve been a con-woman on the run.

Today’s Hook:

Later that afternoon they arrived in Kingman, an old mining town in the middle of nowhere. And, as much as Jared tried to enjoy the view, it wasn’t his kind of scenery. He needed the sight of lush, green bushes or trees. There wasn’t much of either around. Actually, there wasn’t anything around, or so he thought.
They drove into town with Ivy behind the steering wheel. She was indeed a very good driver, who had no trouble steering the big vehicle through the small streets. Before he knew it, they’d stopped in a shopping parking area. It suited him as he needed to stock up on a few items before he hit the road again.
“I suppose that’s it,” she said softly.
He simply nodded. There wasn’t much to say. As much as he enjoyed the little bit of company, she hadn’t been a great talker and was too tense about the whole situation she was in. Whatever the situation was. He’d never asked. It wasn’t any of his business. The bottom line was he wanted to enjoy a nice holiday and not take on somebody else’s problems. Bad enough that he would have an extra passenger in a few days as soon as he made it to Utah.
“Thanks,” she added and held out her hand.
He took the hand and replied, “No worries mate.”
That made her smile. A smile he wouldn’t forget. “Look after yourself and don’t forget to eat, will ya?”
Taking her bag, she said, “The woman who’ll end up with you, will be one very lucky lady.”
He chuckled. “And I had the impression you thought of me as a criminal.”
“No,” she replied, yet her sudden red cheeks betrayed her.

Today’s Hook:

Jared choked back a snort. “I suppose I am in a way, sitting here with a stranger having the weirdest conversation.” He took a bite of his steak burger and then sipped on his drink. “Mia says I’m as boring and laid back as a man can be.”
“Are Mia and you—?”
He nearly spilled the drink as soon as he figured where she was going with this. “Nope. Mia’s around seventeen. Has been happily hooked up with Josh for ages.” About to take another bite, he mumbled, “At least I thought so.”
He’d mentioned earlier that she was only a friend, even though she’d had no reason not to believe him, hearing it a second time, eased her a little. Yet, why it did, she wasn’t sure. She was drawn to him in ways she wasn’t able to begin to understand. Dylan’s image popped into her mind, the man she’d wanted to spend the rest of her life with, yet, even he hadn’t had the charisma the man in front of her seemed to have.
She rolled her eyes at her own idiocy.
They ate in silence for a while, Ivy deep in thought, and in the end eating the fries after all.
His question pulled her out of her reverie. “Ready to show me how to drive?”
Her heart did a little flutter. She was completely taken again by his charm. “Ready as I’ll ever be.”

Today’s Hook:

The waitress took their order and, even though Ivy asked for only a small sandwich, he added an extra serving of fries for her. Annoyed, she was determined not to eat it.
“For what it’s worth, I’m not running,” she said after a long moment of silence.
“Good for you. I’m not runnin’ either. Until three hours ago I was enjoyin’ me holidays.”
That made her look up, somewhat hurt inside. “I’m ruining your vacation?”
He laughed again. “Actually no. Ya makin’ it more interesting. Especially as your thoughts are turning your hair into smoke. What crazy idea have ya come up with?”
She glared at him.
“Mate, ya hot and cold. Obviously needin’ the ride, but scared I might be a lunatic.”
The waitress returned with their food, and Ivy was pleased for the interruption of the conversation. It gave her time to think. Time to think how to answer. Because bottom line was, she did need that ride and, deep inside, she believed he was a charming landscaper from Australia. But then again, she’d thought Dylan had been the love of her life. How wrong she’d been with that assumption. She had loved him and, completely honest with herself, still did. She missed him and, in the time since she’d left him, there had been many moments during which she wanted to call him to tell him exactly how much.
But life wasn’t a fairy tale. With her working all day, and Dylan spending almost every penny, life wouldn’t ever get better. And she wanted better. So much better.
“Are you? A lunatic I mean.”

Today’s Hook:

Ivy hadn’t known how hungry she really was until she sat at the table and read the menu. It had a long list of choices, yet she didn’t want to take advantage of his generosity. She ignored her own thoughts that her Aussie man was a bank robber on the run, and subsequently, she was spending illegal money. Yet, dizzy at the possibility of it, she remembered he’d said he was a landscaper and ignored the fact that he obviously wouldn’t admit to being a murderer or a bank robber as well. With all those thoughts running through her head, a sickly feeling spread in her stomach and her hunger disappeared. She needed some serious distraction.
“What brings you to the USA, Jared?” she asked, hoping to find out more about the very handsome stranger in front of her.
But he only shrugged and replied, “Holidays.”
Assuming that holidays were the same as what Americans called vacations, she thought she’d never had vacations in her life, let alone in another country.
“Australia is supposed to be beautiful. Why didn’t you drive around with your RV down there?”
He raised one eyebrow at her, and she wasn’t sure what that meant. Staring at him, he simply stared back.
“Are you running?” she asked carefully.
“Nope, I’m drivin’.”
Letting out an exasperated sigh. “I meant in—”
His laughter startled her. “Nah, I’m not running.” He met her gaze dead on. “But you are.”
The words were quietly spoken, but still went through her like a knife.
