Taco Bout Love by Lily Kate is a contemoprary romance. My name is Lucas Donovan, and I’m a sucker for a great taco. No, that’s not an innuendo, though I do like my women like I like my tacos: extra spicy. So when a brand new food truck rolls into our sleepy little town of Fantasie, Maine, I know I’m in trouble. I just don’t know how much trouble. Things go downhill fast when I meet Chloe Brown, the sizzling hot and super sassy owner of Taco Bout Love who is as extra as guac. Then out of the blue, Chloe plops her huge purple eyesore of a truck in my designated parking spot. I’m sorely tempted to have her truck towed, and her right along with it. Unfortunately, Chloe’s as fierce as a ghost pepper, and she’s not going down without a fight. Before I know it, the only thing I’m certain of is that this woman drives me crazy… in the best way possible. What’s more is that I’m beginning to think I just might miss her when she’s gone. Suddenly, I can’t seem to keep my hands off Chloe Brown, or her tacos.
Taco Bout Love is a solid romance with both the small town and grumpy/sunshine love vibes (both of which I love). I greatly enjoyed the introduction to the town of Fantasie and its cast of characters. I thought the secondary characters really added something to the story, more than just fodder for future books set in the town although that is certainly in play as well. I felt like Chloe was a well written character and is willing to work hard for what she needs, even if it is space. I have to admit that I wanted a little something more from Lucas. Yes, he has a couple issues that he needs to work on, but I was really expecting a little more back story or depth from him than what we got. He seemed almost too perfect, aside from his tendency to use 'baby' as a term of endearment and just take care of things without conversation or consent rubbing me the wrong way. However, overall I enjoyed the read and look forward to seeing more about the residents of Fantasie in the future.
Taco Bout Love is a fun romance, and I think I will be reading more from the author.
