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?

Summary
Tacos for Two by was a joy to read. She was able to write a book with a You’ve Got Mail theme and enough of its own story to be a treasure.
The addition of the food trucks gave it a contemporary vibe.
The authors use of quotes from the movie was spectacular.
Rory had inherited the food truck from her aunt. Although she did not enjoy cooking and did not have the talent she felt the responsibility to keep it running.
Jude just wanted to escape his crazy manipulative family. He had a love of cooking and decides to enter the food truck competition.
The secondary characters also added a special touch to the story. Hannah and her origami were touching. Cody and Alton were a fun addition to his seriousness and stress.
I would recommend this book if you love You’ve Got Mail. It is a great book to escape into and re-read when you want a reprieve from the crazy.
