A fictional vignette about a meeting between the characters in romantic comedy HAVING A BALL by Rhoda Baxter meeting up with Redneck Twila Taunton from KICK ASSITUDE by Trish Jackson.
Redneck private investigator Twila Taunton is following a trail of clues that lead her to England and the fancy home of retired Oxford academic Evelyn Blackwood. Stevie Winfield is just starting out on as an event planner, and is busy planning Evelyn's charity ball. When Twila, Evelyn and Stevie sit down to have tea together, they come to realize the only thing they have in common is the English language, and even that seems to waiting to trip them up.
Hi. I’m Rhoda. I write smart contemporary romantic comedy. In real life, I’m a former scientist who now works in intellectual property. The rest of the time I’m a sensible grown up Mum.
I prefer my heroes to be nice guys with a sense of humour and me heroines to be smart and independent. If you like Mhairi McFarlane or Sophie Kinsella, you'll probably like my books tool
I also write women's fiction, often featuring Sri Lankan characters, under the name Jeevani Charika.
A few of my novels have been shortlisted for prestigious awards. If you want to 'try before you buy', you can get a free novella by signing up to my newsletter via my website: www.rhodabaxter.com
A cute short story, leaving us wanting more. Twila is in England having tea...truly a great unexpected experience for this Alabama redneck motor cycle riding character we've come to love.
This copy of Tea For Three was given to me by Trish Jackson in exchange for a honest review.

This is a short, tongue-in-cheek vignette written by two authors in different continents whose books, both romantic comedies, were being released on the same date by their common publisher.
It explores what might happen if a redneck woman was to meet a retired British academic and her young assistant.
