It was only supposed to be one time…
\nBut that red-hot one night stand from the party?
\nThe sexy man in the suit who gave me more Os in a few hours than I’ve had in a year?<\/p>\n

Turns out my charming British stranger is keeping a little secret.<\/p>\n

He’s as much of a whiz in the kitchen as he is in the bedroom and soon we’ll be going head-to-head in NYC’s biggest bake off.<\/p>\n

My one-time lover is now my enemy. I vow to loathe him for all eternity, though that would be easier if I wasn’t dying to get naked with him again.<\/p>\n

But the more I learn more about my rival, the more I suspect he just might be everything I’ve wanted…<\/p>\n

If only I knew how to let him in…<\/p>\n

GOOD TO BE BAD is a sexy standalone romance in the Good Love<\/em> series!<\/p>\n

Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

4.5 stars!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometimes you just need a feel good read to get lost in and Good to Be Bad<\/i> book fits the bill.\u00a0You can\u2019t go wrong with a strong confident heroine and a sweet, swoony hero, and Lauren Blakely and Lili Valente join together to give us a love story that will put a smile on your face and love in your heart. This book is a fantastic addition to the Good Love<\/i> series and one I thoroughly enjoyed!<\/p>\n

Gigi and West meet in a bar and they just click. They share a hot night together but the next day Gigi learns that West is none other than the owner of the new tea shop opening across the street from her store, Sweetie Pies, and will inevitably take some of her customers. Then on top of that, she finds out he is literally a competitor when they both enter the Brooklyn Mr. or Mrs. Sweet Stuff competition. Gigi wants to win but she isn\u2019t prepared for how big of a distraction West turns out to be and what follows is a swoony, sweet, sexy romance with endearing characters, an entertaining story, and a whole lot of sweets to devour!<\/p>\n

Gigi and West hit it off immediately and when they realize who they are to each other, mainly competitors, Gigi knows she has to keep her heart out of the compettion if she wants to win. The only problem is that they perfect for each other and they just can\u2019t stay away from each other no matter how hard they try. And West knows exactly what he wants and I love that he goes all in even when Gigi is unsure.<\/p>\n

I want to discover every facet of Gigi. I want to read her like a good book\u2014quickly the first time through because it\u2019s too exciting to take my time and then slower the second and third times, savoring every beautiful sentence and perfectly executed plot twist. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

They really enjoy their time inside the bedroom but they are even better outside the bedroom. They are honest and open and have so much fun together. The progression of their relationship is fast but realistic because I believed their connection and felt their attraction.\u00a0They are so alike in so many ways and relate on so many levels, and I loved them together. Plus, there is no real angst or drama and I couldn\u2019t keep the smile off my face when it comes to these two.<\/p>\n

\u201cDoes that mean\u2026\u201d I begin.
\n\u201cThat we\u2019re seeing each other?\u201d he supplies.
\n\u201cYes,\u201d I say with a smile.
\n\u201cWell, it seems we already are. And have been. It seems we can\u2019t stay away from each other. Best to give into it all. Wouldn\u2019t you say?\u201d
\nI\u2019m giddy with hope, alive with possibilities. \u201cI would say you\u2019re dating the competition.\u201d
\nHe runs a finger down my chest, laughing.
\n\u201cSleeping with the enemy.\u201d
\n\u201cDating the woman across the street,\u201d I toss back.
\n\u201cYes, it seems I\u2019m quite mad about her.\u201d <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Overall, I loved it! Gigi and West forever!<\/p>\n
