Behind the Gay Romance Foodie Book: Wyatt's Recipes for Wooing Rock Stars

Clancy and Thursday discuss their inspirations and thoughts on their latest release, "Wyatt's Recipes for Wooing Rock Stars". Wyatt Parker has a good life—he owns his own construction company, his own house, and he eats home-cooked meals every day. But cooking for one while watching the foodie network is more than lonely. When he learns about an upcoming reality show centered on becoming the personal chef for his favorite rock star, Wyatt leaps at the chance to audition. Tully Randolph is the drummer for the band Unusual Potatoes. With a chef for a mom, love of good food runs in the family. When he’s asked to host a cooking competition, he’s all in—especially after he meets Wyatt, who is just the kind of big, hairy guy who gets Tully’s juices flowing. With a heart as big as he is, Wyatt wows Tully with his skills in the kitchen… and in the bedroom. But if their relationship is found out, Wyatt could be drummed out of the competition—and out of Tully’s life. All the ingredients for a happy future are in front of them, and they just need to figure out how to bring everything together. * Dreamspinner Press [http://www.dreamspinnerpress.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=7629] * Amazon [http://amzn.to/1ou0Fd2] * Kobo [https://store.kobobooks.com/en-us/ebook/wyatt-s-recipes-for-wooing-rock-stars] * Barnes & Noble [http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/wyatts-recipes-for-wooing-rock-stars-clancy-nacht/1123619145] * All Romance eBooks [https://www.allromanceebooks.com/product-wyatt039srecipesforwooingrockstars-2004647-149.html]
