Top Five Favorite Foods by Jodi Payne and BA Tortuga – Guest Blog

Long and Short Reviews welcomes Jodi Payne and BA Tortuga who are celebrating the recent release of their newest book Heart of a Redneck.

Hey y’all! BA and Jodi here to introduce our new book Heart of a Redneck to y’all. It’s a great city/country romance set in Boulder, Colorado. Gordon is a successful restaurateur from Boston, and Colby is a tile guy from Texas. Between the two of them, they have opinions about food.

Colby’s Favorite Foods

1. King ranch casserole — classic Texas comfort food: cheese, chicken and chiles. Uhn.
2. Chocolate pie — not French silk pie, but the cooked kind. (Colby’s a touch particular about that.)
3. Chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and gravy.
4. Flat nachos — piled ones just won’t do for that Texas boy.
5. Chili — His granny’s recipe, of course. No beans.

Gordon’s Favorite Foods

1. New England Clam Chowder. He’s a Boston boy! It’s the only thing he really misses about living in Boston. Other than his sister.
2. Filet Mignon. Rare. Surf and turf anyone?
3. A western omelette. Even better if you serve it with some fresh salsa and a tequila sunrise. Breakfast is really his favorite meal.
4. The Albóndigas de Cerdo on the Tapas menu at Delmara, his flagship restaurant. Little pork and ricotta meatballs with this amazing, rich tomato sauce. Seriously, his chef is gifted.
5. Pizza. Meat, veggies, extra cheese, whatever you order, he’ll eat it. Except pineapple. And SPAM. Okay, no Hawaiian pizza.

Colby McBride is a blue-collar cowboy trying to make ends meet laying tile in Colorado. A loner by choice, Colby works hard with his hands and finds his peace camping in the mountains outside Boulder. Gordon James is a white-collar restaurateur who owns not one, but two successful establishments in downtown Boulder. He’s a sophisticated urbanite who is devoted to his work and is accustomed to getting what he wants.

The men are friends, but sparks fly when Colby falls in love and decides to show Gordon how much fun a good old boy can be. They’re just beginning to explore their relationship when Gordon’s sister’s suicide leaves him with custody of his five-year-old niece.

Colby comes from a huge family and is eager to help with the girl and to prove his worth to Gordon. But neither of them is ready for the tremendous changes to their already busy lives, or for how this new relationship with Olivia challenges them, complicating the way they interact with each other.

They say opposites attract, but can these two very different men work together to join their disparate lives and form a strong, if highly unlikely, family?

About the Authors:

Jodi Payne takes herself way too seriously and has been known to randomly break out in song. Her men are imperfect but genuine, stubborn but likable, often kinky, and frequently their own worst enemies. They are characters you can’t help but fall in love with while they stumble along the path to their happily ever after. For those looking to get on her good side, Jodi’s addictions include nonfat lattes, Malbec and tequila any way you pour it.

BA Tortuga: Texan to the bone and an unrepentant Daddy’s Girl, BA Tortuga spends her days with her basset hounds and her beloved wife, texting her sisters, and eating Mexican food. When she’s not doing that, she’s writing. She spends her days off watching rodeo, knitting and surfing Pinterest in the name of research. BA’s personal saviors include her wife, Julia Talbot, her best friend, Sean Michael, and coffee. Lots of coffee. Really good coffee.

Having written everything from fist-fighting rednecks to hard-core cowboys to werewolves, BA does her damnedest to tell the stories of her heart, which was raised in Northeast Texas, but has heard the call of the high desert and lives in the Sandias. With books ranging from hard-hitting GLBT romance, to fiery ménages, to the most traditional of love stories, BA refuses to be pigeon-holed by anyone but the voices in her head.
