 Tacos for Two

by Betsy St. Amant

    Food truck owner Rory Perez may not be able to cook, but she’s determined to keep the family business out of the red.  An upcoming contest during a food truck festival seems like the best way to do it.  The prize money could finally give her solid financial footing, freeing up her 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.  If he loses the contest, he’ll be back at the law firm for good, so failure is not an option.

    But things are about to get complicated.  Rory’s chef gets mono, forcing her to cook after all.  And Jude discovers that his stiffest competition is the same woman he’s been failing for online.  Will they sacrifice the futures they’ve envisioned for the sake of love? Or will there only ever be tacos for one?


This was a very good book that was hard to put down once I started reading.  A woman who thinks she cannot cook Inherits a food truck.  Hates what she is doing but feels she must do it to carry on the family heritage.  A wealthy man has a dream of leaving his father’s law firm to own a food truck.  His father makes a deal with him for the only way to start up the food truck and not be written out of the will. Will either one get their dream job?

 The book has a similar theme to the movie “You’ve Got Mail” but has other problems entwined in it. Learning to forgive your enemies and learning to go on with your life after a person you love dies are just a couple of the themes in this book.

I would highly recommend this book to everyone.

A piece of the story...part 6

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas/New Year's! I know I did :) Here is another part of Always and Forever. Since it has been a while, if you want to review the last section of the story, I tagged them all under "Always and Forever" on the left sidebar. Enjoy :)  Before he could make a reply, John pulled the car up to the back entrance which was usually reserved for the staff although Henry preferred it to the impressive, overbearing front entrance. Henry burst from the car, leaving his luggage for John, and hurried up the back steps. A blast of humid air made his hair immediately stick to his forehead. Betsy, the dear old cook, was hovering over a large pot on the elaborate cook-stove.  “Still slaving away over your famous stew, I see, miss Betsy.”  The large, colored lady turned with a startled expression, the soup ladle still in her grasp. “Why, master Henry. I didn’t know you were expected home anytime soon.” A laugh bubbled from his chest. “I was hoping to surpr...

  Meddling With Mistletoe by Liz Johnson      Whitney Garrett is preparing to enter culinary school in the spring, but first she has to sell enough homemade pies at the local Christmas markets to pay her tuition. When her oven breaks, Whitney asks Marie Sloan, proprietor of the Red Door Inn, if she can use the inn's kitchen to keep up with her orders. Marie agrees, with a catch: Whitney has to watch the three Sloan children and cook breakfasts for the Red Door in return.      The inn is busy with holiday guests--including Aretha Franklin Sloan's perpetually single nephew Daniel and Ruby, a businesswoman in town to purchase Aretha's antiques store. Intent on making a Christmas match for the two, Aretha enlists Whitney's help in her schemes. But the deeper Whitney gets, the more she realizes that Ruby is definitely not the right woman for Daniel--and the more she thinks that  she  just might be his perfect match.      Cuddle up f...
