Tacos for Two by Betsy St. Amant
4.0
Tacos for Two is flirty, fresh, fun and extremely entertaining.
Betsy St. Amant gives clever winks to the movie You’ve Got Mail in this adorable mash up of enemies-turned-lovers and the online dating world. This book will delight both contemporary romance readers as well as rom-com lovers with laugh-out-loud banter between two people who’s chemistry is sparking!
Warning: You’ll want tacos, and probably, nachos after reading this story.
I absolutely loved the magnetism between Rory and Jude, right from the start. The clever mix of their online relationship, turned unknown-in-person relationship pulls all of the appeal of You’ve Got Mail into the story, but St. Amant makes the story her own. Rory is feisty and likable (despite her occasional woes) and Jude came across as a strong, lovable guy that’s easy to fall for.
The supporting characters were also well loved by me, especially Hannah and Grady. I enjoyed the quick pace of the story and the contemporary aspect focusing on Mexican culinary and food trucks; two things everyone loves!
An underlying story lent personal growth, particularly for Rory as she works to figure out what is best for her in life and maintain continuance of her family legacy. Jude grew as well, pursuing his dreams at all costs, and facing the inevitable fallout with his family over his decision. The blend of these things balanced with the flirty texts and messages, as well as the fireworks in person, created a story that was both addictive and entertaining.
Overall, a great read that I enjoyed and would recommend to readers who like books by Bethany Turner, Melissa Ferguson and Nicole Deese. Tacos for Two is clean, lighthearted and does not contain many faith-based elements.
Content Warning: There was alcohol consumption noted in the book by the characters on different occasions.
