Overall Opinion:
The story starts off with Sofia and Roberto pretending to be involved in a relationship to fool the media in order to regain their individual families reputation. Unable to push aside their families history of Roberto's father affair with Sofia's mother who later became pregnant and given birth to a half-sister Annabella, it's becomes more than difficult to play nice. Despite that, it crosses the line of make believe when feelings are caught and the mutual attraction between the two grows.

Honestly I really liked this book a lot more than I've anticipated. Sure there were a few grammar and spelling errors but they were few and far between. I thought Sofia anosmia, that was gained from a car accident three years prior to the series, was a unique feature to add to the story element and someway, it helped bond her and Roberto closer. They definitely were the dynamic duo in the culinary world. The characters were extremely likable and you're able to feel the strong connection from the get-go. Definitely a nice read for any chocolate lovers out there. Also please note if you have not read the first book "Only For Pretend" of the "Only You" series, I will definitely advise that you do. It will give you a better understanding of what's going on with the characters and what have cause them to pull this PR stunt.

Overall, a romance filled story about enemies turn chocolate lovers. But would it enough to sweeten up a old family scandal?
