About the book:

Title: Tacos for Two

Author: Betsy St. Amant

Genre: Inspirational Fiction Rom-Com

Rory Perez, a food truck owner who can't cook, is struggling to keep the business she inherited from her aunt out of the red--and an upcoming contest during Modest's annual food truck festival seems the best way to do it. The prize money could finally give her a solid financial footing and keep her cousin with special needs paid up at her beloved assisted living home. Then maybe Rory will have enough time to meet the man she's been talking to via an anonymous online dating site.

Jude Strong is tired of being a puppet at his manipulative father's law firm, and the food truck festival seems like the perfect opportunity to dive into his passion for cooking and finally call his life his own. But if he loses the contest, he's back at the law firm for good. Failure is not an option.

Complications arise when Rory's chef gets mono and she realizes she has to cook after all. Then Jude discovers that his stiffest competition is the same woman he's been falling for online the past month.

Will these unlikely chefs sacrifice it all for the sake of love? Or will there only ever be tacos for one?

My Thoughts

"Don't you just love New York in the fall? It makes me want to buy school supplies. I'd send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils." Rory would be happy to accept them as long as Jude didn't add any cilantro!

This book is utterly adorable, fun, it has all kinds of You've Got Mail flavor. I loved the text message conversations. Both Rory and Jude drove me crazy at times. Rory for always looking for the sky to fall and Jude at times wouldn't say what he really needed to.

Both Jude and Rory were fabulous characters. The secondary characters were just as wonderful. I loved that Ms. St. Amant added a character with Down's Syndrome to the cast and Alton's dorkiness was fun.

The spiritual thread was not overwhelming but definitely present.

If you love Rom-Com's, enemies to more tropes then you will want to read this book!
