BEAT-THE-HEAT TOSTADAS
Setting the Scene:
Summers in Laredo, Texas are hot—even when you’re not madly in love with an
irritating, arrogant, drop-dead gorgeous entertainer from Argentina. So Julie Barnes,
heroine of LOVE’S LASTING SONG, spends little of her time eating, and most of it
fighting the attraction she feels for sexy Joaquin Gonzalez , in Laredo to star in the film
version of her book, Shades. While Joaquin and Julie do battle over the food in some of
Laredo’s finest restaurants, Julie’s boss, Randy appoints himself protector and confidant.
Fortunately for Julie, Randy has a better appetite than she does, and eventually
arrives to gobble down the tostadas Julie’s aunt Rose prepares as a light summer heat
beater. Gather the ingredients, follow the simple steps below—then sit down with a
tostada and enjoy reading the steamy romance LOVE’S LASTING SONG. Here’s an
excerpt to get you started!
Excerpt from LOVE’S LASTING SONG:
“
Child, why aren’t you eating?” Aunt Rose gazed worriedly from the untouched
tostada, heaped with lettuce, tomato, chicken and cheese, to Julie’s flushed face. “Are
you feeling okay?”
Julie picked up her glass of tea, frowned at it, and set it back down. She felt
devastated, destroyed, but she wouldn’t admit that to anyone. How easy it had been,
losing control…caring. The acknowledgment bit into her viciously: she had let herself
care, and she shouldn’t have.
