This post is part of a virtual book tour organized by Goddess Fish Promotions. Nick will be awarding a $20 Amazon GC to a randomly drawn winner via rafflecopter during the tour. Click on the tour banner to see the other stops on the tour. Don’t ask Leo Lloyd-Jones. Ask him how to steal a car, or why he got excluded from every school in Salford, but don’t come to him for help. This whole thing must be a daft mistake – and if anyone finds out, he’s done for. Enjoy an excerpt: Kian tried to break the ice by spinning the bottle. ‘Okay.’ His eyes flickered at Lucy. ‘Next question. Who do we think is the prettiest girl in the room?’ Lucy blushed at once. Isabel looked merely curious, perhaps forgetting that she herself was a girl. But Paige shifted on her beanbag chair and turned her face away. Leo had to feel a bit sorry for her. Great though she was to have around, no-one’s choice was ever going to be Paige, in his expert opinion. He realised that the bottleneck had stopped on him again. ‘Truth or dare!’ said Kian. ‘Who’s prettiest?’ ‘The bottle seems to think it’s me.’ ‘Only ’cos it’s drunk,’ Lucy smirked. ‘Prettiest girl. Come on,’ said Kian. Leo laughed. ‘That’s easy.’ It was now. Their three supervisors had appeared in the lounge: David followed by Lenka and the long- haired Chris. Even in workaday jeans and her very uncool Firebird Foundation t-shirt, Lenka remained drop-dead gorgeous. She might have been a Hollywood actress relaxing between takes. The noise levels plunged as most of the boys stopped talking. Rhys pretended to throw a glass of water over Leo. ‘She’s too old for you.’ Leo shook his head. ‘Age can’t stop true love. See the way she looks at me.’ ‘You mean like she’s about to be sick?’ ‘She’s playing hard to get.’ ‘So that’ll be game, set and match to her,’ said Rhys. Leo gave him a friendly dead arm.
