ColorMeTurquoise: You mean, anonymously through a computer?
Exactly. I actually spent a long time trying to think of something better to say than hi, but now I think that would have been better.
LOL I applaud your effort. Am I the first one they've matched you with?
Second. The sounds worse than it is.
Not when I tell you that you're my fourth.About the book (from Goodreads):
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?

ReplyDeleteMy first line comes from Lost in Darkness by Michelle Griep.
London, 1815
There was something glorious about the first day of June.
I still have not read anything by Michelle Griep, hopefully in 2022!!
DeleteSounds cute! Though it can be creepy to meet someone IRL after a lot of time online, who knows who they really are?
ReplyDeleteMine is a historical novel/bio set in France: https://francebooktours.com/2021/10/26/katherines-wish-first-chapter-first-paragraph-book-beginnings/

DeleteSounds like a fun book, and I love the title.
ReplyDeleteI'm currently reading Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
"The servants called them malenchki, little ghosts, because they were the smallest and the youngest, and because they haunted the Duke's house like giggling phantoms, darting in and out of rooms, hiding in cupboards to eavesdrop, sneaking into the kitchen to steal the last of the summer peaches."
Kami-It was a good book, I really enjoyed it. I have seen Shadow and Bone around, but not read it. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI'm currently reading Lost in Darkness by Michelle Griep. It is AMAZING! I'm just getting into chapter 19, so I'll share a line or two from there: "As if riding unchaperoned in a dark carriage with a man weren't improper enough, now this. A lone woman dining amongst a room full of suits."
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Hi Nicole, I STILL have not read a book by her and the odds are not in my favor for the remaining of this year, but I hope to read her books next year...I have heard SO many great things about her books.
DeleteI've never heard of this book. It sounds very interesting! I find reading paper/hardcover books difficult with being visually impaired so I do most of my "reading" through Audible. I have "read" several so far this year but have so many left to get to yet!
ReplyDeleteThis one is pretty good on audio! I'm not positive it is on Audible but I know it is on Scribd. Thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteI have not. I want to now.

I enjoyed it, thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI have not read Taco's for Two, but it sounds cute.
ReplyDeleteIt was, a quick read too.
DeleteOnline romances, the perfect theme for a romantic mystery.
ReplyDeleteYes, you never know what you will get.
