Bombs and Guacamole Playlist
Hey, y’all! I’m BA Tortuga, resident redneck and playlist junkie.
How do you make a playlist for Dusty and Nate? I asked myself this question over and over. I mean, seriously? “You Dropped a Bomb on Me”? “Cherry Bomb”? “Time Bomb”?
No.
Then, the boys started jabbering at me. Nate? He’s an Eagles fan with a little Tejano and a little Jimmy Buffet. Dusty is country music, all the way. Hard core country.
By the time I was done I had a nice little playlist going and me and the boys were singing our hearts out.

Bombs and Guacamole blurb:
ER doctor Dusty Lowry grew up in a conservative rural Texas family that has never quite forgiven him for staying in New Mexico after his stint in the Army. Paramedic Nate Miller, Dusty’s best friend since their early Army days, has a hippie momma, a tiny apartment, and is in lust with his buddy. When their other Army friend, Kyle, gets married, they start thinking about settling down. In fact, they both know what they want: each other. Too bad they’ve never shared that goofy little fact.
A trip to visit Dusty’s family in Texas changes everything, and Dusty and Nate aren’t sure where to go from there. Good thing they’re smart guys, and between a series of bombings that target first responders, their friend Kyle’s wife getting pregnant, and more than one bowl of guacamole, they begin to figure out how to have a relationship.
But as the bombings get closer to home, Nate and Dusty must navigate love and commitment before they lose their chance.
