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.

We have to pick one? :P
Well, beyond the obvious like their first meeting, Jamaica, any time they saved each other's lives, and that last time when MJ figured he wouldn't survive the next day... I always liked the bit in Steam and Sunshine where they have sex in the car and offend Neil and Paddy, because it is hilarious, and because I enjoy any of the scenes in that book which give you a sense of how absolutely batshit crazy/scary they seem to a relatively normal person, which isn't as obvious in Racing the Moon due to lack of other characters with more than a couple lines. (Not a bad thing, it works fine for the one book.)
Weirdly, one of my favourite parts is the first time they go into hiding. It was so tender and domestic (for them) that the feel of the situation (Fleeing, hiding, planning, simmering anger, protection of each other) has stuck with me for years. A really great bit of writing.
The whole driving to Maine in the sip "Open Road". That whole story sums up their entire relationship.
