Publisher's summary

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?

As good as “152”/100 tacos!

As Wonderful as a Bouquet of Freshly Sharpened (Ticonderoga Black) Pencils!

I loved this story almost as much as I love Ticonderoga Noir pencils and Tijuana Flats’ tacos. If that isn’t adoration, nothing is.
This story parallels the characters love of romantic comedies, creating a comedy of errors that act as a roadblock to their love.
It was as satisfying as 152 Clark Bars.

Note: the narrator quoted the famous line from Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, calling Brutus (Brute- brew tay), brute. Was this a comical commentary on his murderously thuggish acts, or a mistake? I choose the first option, since a mole (sauce) was referred to as the animal in a purposeful play on words. Any thoughts?!

The perfect company for a long drive

I asked a group of avid readers for their favorite Christian romance audiobooks, and a few named this one. so glad I listened to their advice! I had a 6.5 hour drive and I listened to this the WHOLE way without getting tired of the story. As soon as I started the drive back, I listened to the rest of it, again without needing or wanting a break from the story! The narrator is excellent, and the story is sweet and fun and entertaining. Highly recommend to lovers of sweet romance.

Witty with unexpected twists

Cooking, competition, the weightiness of family loyalty and legacy versus branching out in new directions combine to make St. Amant’s Tacos for Two a must read for me. The narration adds to the story without stealing center stage. This was the first story from both the author and the narrator that I’ve listened to, but it won’t be the last.

Beautiful Story

Loved this book! It was sweet with a happily ever after that made me smile SO big! This was a first time author for me and I’m so glad I found her! Can’t wait to read more!

Fun summer read

I enjoyed this fun book. I’m also a huge fan of tacos and romance, mixed together makes this book perfect!

Great Read
