Some Like it Sinful is the second installment in “A Perfect Recipe” and it was an awesome read.  What really made this read one of my favorites was the bantering between Chloe and Griffin.  From the moment they meet it was like listening to an old married couple.  Only that they both grew with their relationship, she needed to remember she couldn’t base her relationships with her parents and he needed to see that Chloe was meant for him.Chloe Nelson has always dreamed of opening up her own business and now that she had sold her partnership of Sweet Home her dream was becoming reality.  She was about to open Happy Ending Bakery but just as she was going to open it she realized that across the street from her business a chain bakery by the name of Goody Luv was planning to open.  She couldn’t believe it just here luck, but she needed to find a way to sway customers to her bakery but how.  She needed to talk to her sister Sylvia.Griffin Lange is the Captain for the Chicago Brawlers and he knows that he is up in age and is striving to help his team win the Stanley Cup.  Only that a little prank that he did at an event gets him into trouble with the law.  Now here he is with the district attorney, Sylvia, and he can’t believe what she is telling him.  But what can he do does he want to go to jail or just go ahead and take the plea bargain.  Only where was she putting him to do his community service and that amount of hours is huge, 300 hundred hours.Chloe can’t believe what her sister has done bringing a person that needs to do community service to help her with her dilemma.  She has no idea who this man is but according to him, her sister and her helper at the bakery he is a great hockey player, whatever that means.  When she finally gets her head wrapped around what is happening she has a great idea let him man the counter.  She will have fans coming in to see him everyday, him waiting on them and this will be a great hit.  Maybe if this goes how she is viewing it the other competitor will not open or they will have to shut down.Griffin can’t believe what he is doing, he is just glad that none of his team comes to that side of town to see him wearing a pink shirt manning the counter at the bakery.  There is no way for him to explain why he is there.  He can’t let down the players with his stupid stunt.  Just when he thinks that he has everything under control some of Chloe’s friends show up, Ty and Ashton, and they bring a camera crew.  He can’t believe it but he thinks since they are taping a reality show that know one will see the clip until maybe weeks or months later.  Only he can’t believe when he goes to the arena the clip of the bakery is on the TV and the players are giving him a hard time.  So Griffin being Griffin comes up with a plan, he is helping his girlfriend with her bakery.  For how long will this lie continue to be a lie?  What will happen when the truth comes to light?  What will happen when a customer is hitting on Chloe?  Will the planned PR be able to bring her the clientele that she needed or would they find out that everything that was said was a lie?  What will this mean to Griffin’s career?Wow, what can I say but I so enjoyed this book.  Like I said at the very beginning the bantering with these two characters was hilarious.  The pace of this story was perfect; I could not put it down.  I love how Chloe thought that she was going to be able to find her Prince Charming.  In know that there is a Prince Charming for everyone out there but come on there is no such thing as a perfect guy.  I’m sorry but no one is perfect and to me Griffin was a great guy.  Yes I have to say sometimes his mouth ran off with him but so did hers.  She loved to get into it with Griffin it seemed that she loved to poke him.  The more time they spent together the more that their fake relationship was becoming real.  Then there is Griffin a man that was not old but his age was a lot older than the other players.  He was thirty-five years old and he was with a team that was at their prim age.  Sure the other players looked up to him, they idolized him.  Only that the little stunt that he did it could jeopardize the relationship that they had.  When he went out of state for the games he could not be able to help but miss Chloe.  The characters were will developed and the chemistry that they had was off the charts.  Ms. Terman has a unique writing style that I love and this read will be staying in my library.I totally recommend this read it will have you laughing with their crazy pet names.  I could not believe some of the names that they used on each other.  But I do have to say that the best part of this story was the proposal.  I could not believe what Griffin did, he was truly Prince Charming.  Oh and I can’t wait to see if the next book in this series is about Jenna, Hal and maybe a handsome firefighter Luke.Pick it up today!!!Thanks to NetGalley who provided me a copy of this ARC for an honest review.
