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?
One of my favourite aspects of the book is how relatable Rory our main character is and I love how she had firm boundaries while on the dating site which she didn't throw out the window as soon as she started talking to a man.
There was quite a lot to unpack with this story, especially in regards to Jude and his family's law firm, and I thought the author really put a good spin on what could easily have been someone not wanting to follow in their families footsteps. At the same time I enjoyed how Rory's obligation to her family was shown and how in return they supported her with the food truck.
Overall I found this a lovely light-hearted read which definitely which could definitely become one of the romcom classics.
I received a free copy on exchange for an honest review through lovebookstours and yes I went to the only taco place in my region to get this picture and they were delicious!X
