Rory’s family is small on members but big on traditions. When Rory’s aunt Sophia gets diagnosed with Cancer, Rory takes over the family’s business, abandoning her hopes and dreams to take care of the family. A Mexican truck that features Aunt Sophia’s best Mexican recipes. There’s only one problem… Rory doesn’t know how to cook. After aunt Sophia’s passing, Rory ends up with the responsibility of taking care of her cousin Hannah and making sure that the family business doesn’t fall on bankruptcy.
Our main character is a lonely one. Sure, she has family that cares about her and love her deeply, but she can’t lie to herself. She wants more. She wants to meet someone she can have a deep connection. Someone she can lean on when things get hard. She decides to sign up to a dating app. The rules of this app are simple. It matches you with people within a 60 mile radius. You cannot share any details that can identify you until you feel ready or the app prompts you to swap phone number. She matches with StrongerMan99 (corny, I know). She definitely wasn’t expecting to enjoy the conversations with him so much. They begin to develop a friendship with some flirting here and there. They confide on each other. Ask for advice and share some wisdom. It’s really something special.
One beautiful day, one the most prominent bachelor’s Modest, Texas can provide comes to the food truck to ask for cooking lessons. He is willing to pay for those lessons. That makes Rory stop and consider. The food truck definitely needs all the financial help. She agrees to TEACH him some tricks. And so the tricks and lies begin… Jude, the prominent bachelor, decides to quit his dad’s Law Firm, open a food truck and sign up for the town’s food fest that will put him in competition against Salsa Street, Rory’s truck. She feels betrayed and soon forgets that she also lied when she agreed to the lessons. One thing is for sure, they have no clue that they are who they pour their heart out later on the app chat.
Can they clear the air? Can they forgive each other? Can they overcome the obstacles that keep piling up and that seems to pull them together and also separate them at the same time?
This was a very cute read. I could’ve done it without Rory’s constant doubt against Jude, her mood swings and obviously her hate for cilantro.
