Book review for, 'Tacos For Two,' by Betsy St. Amant.

 

About the book:

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?

My thoughts: 3/5 stars

You want to know what I'm best at? Getting books for review and then completely forgetting about reading and reviewing them. 😬 So sadly to say I have not yet finished Tacos for Two. But I'll be reviewing what I have read.

I really, really wanted to love Tacos For Two. Betsy St. Amant is a new to me author and her book sounded absolutely adorable! Maybe it's just a rough beginning but I can't say that I'm really enjoying the story. The story line is absolutely adorable! You've Got Mail is one of my favorite movies so you'd think I'd love a book inspired by the same concept. I didn't really vibe well with the writing style or Rory. But I'm still willing to give it another go. I haven't read all that much so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Book review for, 'A View Most Glorious,

 

About the book:

Headstrong Coraline Baxter has worked all her life to be more than the spoiled socialite others expect. When her fellow suffragettes in Tacoma, Washington, suggest that she should climb to the top of Mount Rainier to prove that a woman can do anything, she instantly resolves to do it. And if she can climb Mount Rainier, her mother promises to stop pressuring her to get married to the wealthy Cash Kincaid. All Cora needs is a guide to get her to the top of the mountain.

Nathan Hardee may look like a mountain man, but he once ruled the halls of high society. He left all that behind after his father broke under financial pressure from Kincaid. To best Kincaid now, Nathan agrees to guide Cora up the mountain.

Climbing Rainier will require all of Cora's strength and will lead her and Nathan to rediscover their faith in God and humanity. These two loners make unlikely partners in righting a wrong and may just discover that only together is the view most glorious.

My thoughts: 5/5 stars

A book about a strong independent woman fighting for women's rights? Um, count me in! I absolutely love reading about the suffragettes. And I think Regina Scott absolutely nailed this book. I adored Cora and Nathan and their glorious adventure.

 As this small band of travelers make their way up Mount Rainier they made their way in to my heart. Our dear Mr Winston and Waldo were so sweet!

My favorite part however was seeing how beautiful worship to our Father can be. The way Nathan loved God and taught Cora to do the same just filled my heart and made it double in size. It made me want to climb a mountain, too!

Overall the book was adventurous, had amazing writing and incredible faith content. I highly recommend!
