Description

What's a girl to do when her boyfriend leaves her because she lacks sizzle? Vow to develop some, that's what. In a desperate bid to attain everything she lacks, Betsy Kincaid turns to her gay buddy's new and oh-so-willing roommate for assistance. Matt Pollard is still recovering from his latest romantic debacle. When a beautiful woman offers him the chance to help her improve her sultriness quotient and in the process enjoy some no-strings-attached bedroom action, there's no way he can refuse. Operation Sizzle is born. But somewhere along the way, their simple arrangement changes from impersonal to something deeper. Then Betsy discovers Matt isn't gay, and her sense of betrayal at being deceived is matched by his resentment at being blamed for an innocent mistake. But their anger could cost them something they both want: a chance at true love.

What's a girl to do when her boyfriend leaves her because she lacks sizzle? Vow to develop some, that's what. In a desperate bid to attain everything she lacks, Betsy Kincaid turns to her gay buddy's...

An entertaining read.
Betsy has just been dumped by her boyfriend. She has decided it's because she doesn't 'sizzle' so sets out to change that by getting Matt to give here lessons - she thinks Matt is gay but he does make her sizzle!

Thank you for the opportunity to review this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
This book actually exceeded my expectations.
Admittedly the way the two characters meet and arrange these lessons is a bit far-fetched, however if you can get past that and enjoy it for what it is, it's actually a really satisfying story.
The sexual interactions between the characters are quite funny and feel sincere despite being built on a lie. You see Betsy grow into herself as a person and see Matt falling for her despite his efforts not to.
A light entertaining read to make you smile.
3.5 - 4 stars.

this book was ok but suffered from moments of WTF. like the heroine not knowing the hero was gay. i mean, how unaware can you be?! also, the tenant trying to evict a widow?! it just seemed like this book could have used a touch more normalcy to ground it. and for as much as it was about sizzle, it seemed to skimp over a lot of the sizzling parts.

Operation Sizzle is a cute miscommunication story. Trying to reinvent herself, Betsy stumbles into a way to get back the ex who left her hanging. It's cute and completely predictable but charming enough to keep you reading.

With some eyebrow raising quirks and a particular lesson to be jealous of (#2), Matt and Betsy show us what fun and learning can lead to...

The title of this book was just funny, so that was why I requested the story. And the story itself was funny as well: we meet Betsy who is terrible unsure of herself. When her latest boyfriend dumps her because she lacks sizzle, she turns to her gay best friend for help. Due to miscommunication she thinks his roommate Matt is gay as well. When she asks for his help (while drunk), he accepts her request. Operation Sizzle begins: Matt thinks it is very funny that this girl wants help in the sizzle department. Since his latest relationship went south, Matt feels this is the easiest way to have some 'no-strings-attached' flirting and 'horizontal excercise'.
But as Operation Sizzle continues, there chemistry between Matt and Betsy results in some actual sizzles between them. When Betsy realizes Matt is not gay and when Matt realizes Betsy only wants to sizzle for her ex-boyfriend: will the sizzle dry out or will they keep the flame alive?
Funny and short. Three out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.

This book was so cute. I had a hard time putting it down. Betsy had a hard time with guys they always told her she was dull. She hadn't found the right guy. She meets her best friends new roomate who she this he s involved with and gay. He helps her get some sizzle back in her step. Betsy just need someone who would tell her how important she is and prove that she was worth the effort. I was so glad Matt volunteered for operation sizzle for Betsy and then fought for her and Rob fought for them too.

It’s basically a woman needing someone to teach her how to be great in bed. However, she thought that the “someone” who’ll give her lessons is gay so she willingly gave in… without knowing he’s really straight.

There are factors lacking: The profession of Matt isn't really used - I thought him being a lawyer will help the tenants in Betsy’s apartment avoid the petition on eviction. How rude Betsy is for always interrupting or cutting off people whenever they explain things to her.
