4 I'm Loving This Series Stars.Some Like It Sinful is book 2 in the A Perfect Recipe Series. I really liked the first book Some Like It Spicy, but Robbie Terman has taken it to the next level with book 2.Chloe Nelson has realised her lifelong dream and has just opened the Happy Ending Bakery, unfortunately a national bakery chain Goody Luv, is planning to open up a new shop opposite her own, which could essentially bankrupt her before she even gets the chance to fully open her doors.In steps Griffin Lange, local celebrity and Captain of the Chicago Brawlers Hockey team. He has been a little naughty and stepped outside of the law. To avoid court and possibly jail time he agrees to complete 300 hours community service in Chloe's shop.This is where the book takes off, because the verbal sparring between these two is priceless, Chloe believes that Griffin is everything that she abhors in a guy, a player, untrustworthy and more interested in his team than his family. Griffin is trying to the hold onto the respect of his much younger team-mates as well as try to keep up with them on a social level initially, but after spending time in Chloe's company he realises that there may be more to life after all, and what begins as a well planned PR exercise, turns into something else.There were so many funny conversations and one liners between the two of them that I highlighted in the early stages of the book, but the below still stands out to me, because it was just so funny. Chloe is a little slow to understand how superstitious sports-men are, so Griffin is trying to enlighten her -Chloe - "You really are superstitious."Griffin - "A little. I'm not as bad as some of the guys. Nils refuses to wear deodorant to away games. And last time we were in the playoffs, Mazer refused to take a dump in round two because in round one he'd been constipated and we'd swept the series. He ended up crapping his pants on Sportscenter."Chloe - "I so didn't need that information."I kid you not there, are dozens of instances like this, and they all made me laugh my socks off!Chloe is looking for her fairytale ending with Prince Charming, and doesn't believe that Griffin can be that guy. Struggling with self-image issues, she believes that a man who looks and lives like Griffin does, would never be interested in her for the long term. Griffin *curls finger in a come hither motion* really goes above and beyond, to prove to Chloe that he is exactly the kind of Prince Charming that she needs.I have to say that the ending in this book is absolutely adorable, with one of the best proposals I have ever read (little spoilery I know, but it's obvious that a HEA is on the cards). Some of the pet-names they use with each other sarcastically were an absolute hoot too...Schmoopie!!! Bahahaha :)This is a series I know I will happily go back to, to read and enjoy again and again in the future. I hope we get Jenna's book sooner rather than later because I cannot wait!ARC provided through Netgalley in exchange for the above honest review.
