Small-town romance.
Dual POV.
Spicy (but not very).
Quirky characters.
The town of fantasy and its citizens are quirky and adorable. Very Stars Hollow (Gilmore Girls) vibes. I look forward to getting to know more about them in future books. Lucas grated on me in the beginning, but I liked him more and more with each new bit of info we learned.
Now for the things I didn’t love… The book dragged on a bit in the middle and I felt a little bored. The Hannah/Carl stuff felt a tad out of left field. I wish had have gotten a little more about Josie and Finn.
Overall, I’d definitely recommend this cute romance.
Tw- domestic abuse, infertility, pregnancy loss, kidnapping, gun violence
* I received this book as an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a fast paced, spicy, strangers to lovers romance. The premise of Chloe Brown leaving New York behind and travelling to Fantasie, Maine is understandable and she begins to learn that in the small town of Fantasie, everyone knows everyone else’s business. Lucas is also a massive grump on the outside but the softest person on the inside.
The writing was to my liking and the spicy scenes were placed in good positions throughout the story.
This would have been a 5 star book if they didn’t fall for each other instantly!

Taco Bout Love is based in a small town called Fantasie, where all your dreams come true.
Chloe Brown is looking to get as far away from NYC as possible and start fresh. She planned to only pass through Fantasie, but her newly acquired vehicle had other plans. While stuck in Fantasie, Chloe meets a lot of the residents, which includes grumpy Lucas Donovan. Mishaps happen and Chloe and Lucas end up learning about each other and becoming closer.
This book was very satisfying. It has that charming small town vibe, where everyone knows everyone. The families involved made me crack up with their banter, it reminded me of my own. The only issue I had was the ending, it wasn’t my favorite and I felt like that conflict was just kind of thrown in there. Other than that I really enjoyed Lily Kate’s writing and would read another one of her books.
I definitely recommend this one if you like small town romances, grumpy-sunshine, rom-coms, enemies to lovers trope. Please also check trigger warnings as there are some discussions in this book that could be triggering.
Thank you to LK Publishing and NetGalley for an eARC in exchange for my honest review.
