North to You by Tif Marcelo
Journey to the Heart book 1. Contemporary second chance romance.
Camille and Drew meet again as adults in San Francisco and rekindle their connection. But the strikes against them are mounting because he needs to leave soon for the army and her food truck and his family restaurant are in a bit of a conflict.

Learn about the difficulties of food truck parking, storage and their reliance on social media. It is a complex way to earn a living but very interesting.
The couple had chemistry but so much to work out. Quite a bit of angst too. Include a couple of characters that made me mad but exist in the world that added a bit too much realism.

I don’t want to spoil the story but know at its heart it’s a romance so it all works out to a happily ever after. ( )

Camille is in the restaurant truck business (a unique story line!). She not only owns her on business, she is guardian to her little sister. To say her life is tough and busy is an understatement. Then she runs into her old flame 🔥! He complicates her life in a good way...until.....she parks her ugly food truck in front of his father's restaurant.

I love the setting of this book. San Francisco is an amazing city. I enjoyed the many city attractions the author placed throughout this tale. We visited several years ago and I fell in love, especially Haight-Ashberry. This is the location where Drew and Camille run into each other and start their amazing relationship.

Drew!! Oh sweet, heavenly Drew! Not only is Drew hot..especially in the army t-shirt...YES..I so pictured that in my head, he is kind and loving....just not all together truthful. And that gets his cute little behind in hot water. He has a legitimate reason for not exactly telling the truth. Does it turn out the way he planned? Not so much!

Camille is one tough lady. I LOVE STRONG FEMALE LEADS! Camille is hardworking, smart and just an all around good gal. She and Drew are fantastic together. Even when his little secret comes out. Of course she is mad and fiery. What a way to heat up the pages!

I so enjoy warm, quirky, fun reads. This one had a little bit of everything, great setting, great story, strong woman and one hot guy to boot! I cannot wait to see what this author has up her sleeve next. Need a good summer read.....this is it for you! ( )
