Product Description
Things are cooking in the kitchen...and the bedroom.
Restaurant owner Phoebe Mayle thought she had it all under control. Sure, her new chef has a bad-boy reputation - and a chiseled body to match - but she's positive she can whip him into shape.
But from the moment Nick Avalon roars into town in his Hummer, he makes her whole world sizzle. Now Phoebe has lost control of her kitchen, and Nick has taken over her mind and her body. His insatiable appetite for pleasure leaves her breathless with carnal cravings only he can satisfy. Yet can their hunger for each other be a recipe for a love that lasts?

Deliciously Sinful, Dec 23 2011
By M. Whitmore "lovetoreadforfun" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Deliciously Sinful (Mass Market Paperback)
Nick Avalon has pissed off one person too many and now the bad boy of the culinary world is cooling his heels in Redbolt, California. Phoebe is trying to continue her Aunt and Uncle's legacy at their vegan cafe but is having problems juggling her own organic farm business and working at the cafe. She realizes she needs help and hires Nick. Phoebe knows all about Nicks reputation but hopes that his culinary expertise will outweigh his bad rep.Deliciously Sinful was a good read but did not live up to previous books I've read by Feisty. I felt that Nick and Phoebe were easily forgettable. Nothing stood out. I couldn't picture either of them as sexy. The description of Phoebe, I pictured her as a frizzy-haired, non-shaving, Birkenstock wearing hippie. And that is not a good look. There were hints at Phoebe's wild-child past that we never learned about. I kept waiting for when the big reveal would happen and it never did. Nick is a bad-boy in reputation but we never fully understand the motivation behind his behavior. With Nick, I couldn't help but picture Gordon Ramsey.
The one thing that did not disappoint was the sex scenes. Deliciously Sinful wasn't as hot and sexy as Bound to Please but there were some good sexy times between Nick and Phoebe. Feisty has the uncanny ability to make food sexy. There were some interesting scenes involving pudding, oranges and a whisk -- not all at the same time thought that would be interesting. There was one scene that involved bondage and rope that faded to black and that was a huge disappointment. I really wanted to see what Nick was going to do with that rope. ;-)
I enjoyed Deliciously Sinful but it wasn't on par as her other romances, Bound to Please and Dare to Surrender. I had a hard time connecting to the characters. Nothing about them stood out and I couldn't understand what they saw in each other. The conflict at the end wrapped up pretty quick and I felt the resolution was too neat. There was no woo-ing or romance in Nick and Phoebe's relationship so for them to be all in love with each other at the end didn't ring true.
I do recommend reading this book. It was good; it just didn't wow me.

An okay romance, but not my favorite, Dec 10 2011
By theEPICrat - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Deliciously Sinful (Mass Market Paperback)
Phoebe cannot cook for the life of her, so imagine her dismay when she inherits her aunt and uncle's small award-winning café after their deaths. In lieu of her culinary shortcomings, she makes the executive decision to hire Nick Avalon to rescue the café from failure. Phoebe braces herself for arguing with the hotshot LA chef on menu offerings, but she fails to shield her heart against the absolute hotness of her latest employee. Will Phoebe be able to endure the sizzle of Nick's eyes, or will she burn to a crisp with no hope of saving this dish?Lately I have been finding books that start at one point and then go a very different direction that sometimes does not make sense. In this case, we begin with the first line - and it braces me for a possible "foul play" storyline. SO not the case! Why does it start here? I think the story would still work out fine without this beginning. Did Deliciously Sinful satisfy this reader's appetite? Well... it does okay as a snack, but it is far from being a full-course meal. I expected more actual resistance, but it seemed that Phoebe bent to Nick's bad boy charms way too easily. If Phoebe and Nick had resisted each other a little bit longer and added more kindling to the fire, the story may have reached the necessary heat to bring my tea to a boil.

Disappointed not delicious, Dec 29 2011

This review is from: Deliciously Sinful (Mass Market Paperback)
After reading "Bound to Please" and "Dare to Surrender" I looked forward to the release of Deliciously Sinful, unfortunately I was disappointed. I didn't connect with the Phoebe and NIck. I got tired of Nick calling Phoebe his "good girl" because it reminded me of books with d/s but because this one wasn't one of those books the term just seemed not to fit. The sex scenes with the use of food were yummy but I did not find them sizzling because of the lack of ongoing chemistry and depth between the characters. I wanted to devour this book like I did her previous books but it just wasn't of the same calibre.
