Sizzle TV #3
Sear
A friend. An enemy. An ex.
Two fake relationships.
One hell of a happy ending.
Bailey
I'd do anything for Drew, except tell him the truth about how I feel. When he asks me to pose as his girlfriend for a work party, it's no problem--as long as his family doesn't find out.
Drew
Bailey's my beautiful best friend. Cooper's a gorgeous pain in my ass. And wouldn't you know it? They have a history together. Good thing Bailey and I are just friends, even if she clearly has terrible taste in men.
Cooper
Drew's a self-righteous stick-in-the-mud. He doesn't deserve that ass, and he sure as hell doesn't deserve Bailey. She's the one who got away, so when she needs my help hiding her relationship from his family, it's the least I can do. Except kissing Drew wasn't in the fine print.

Skimmed a lot.
Written in triple first person POV. Decent amount of sexy times in all configurations. Honestly, I skimmed a bunch because the story just didn’t draw me in. I liked Drew but Bailey and Cooper annoyed me. I read the first two books in the series a while ago but don’t remember them very well so this book can be read as a standalone.

Fast-paced read with loads of drama and steam. Drew needs a fake girlfriend and gets his friend Bailey to do it. Bailey is the one who got away from Cooper and is happy to help Bailey and Drew in their scheme. Hot MMF read that is lots of fun and great characters. I loved it!

My best friend. My worst enemy.
Two fake relationships.
One guaranteed happily-ever-after.
This was another author I’d never heard before whose book I got lucky enough to review. I had never heard of her before. The first thing I can say is that the book lives up to it’s title! Not only was it super hawt, it was a great story. Once I started it yesterday I stayed up late until I finished it. I really enjoyed it and can’t wait to read another book by this author. I highly recommend for those that like this genre.

4.5⭐️ 3.5🌶
I really liked this one, maybe even a little better than the first. I liked that it was both best friends-to-lovers and enemies-to-lovers, even if the “enemies” part was quick, it was funny.
I liked the dynamic and thought it was good.
Audiobook was quick and hot!

I am sure when I read my next dark romance Im going to look back at this series and giggle at myself... but I love it. I love that is normal enough to day to day life that feels almost like watching it happen to friends. It isnt pain free- watch for the heartache that hits because dang... and that grovel, whew. But it is also watching people fall for one another in a way that while not without hardship, is also not all toxic either.

Love is Love. Should you be fortunate enough to find it, hold on with both hands and all of your heart.
Andrew, Bailey and Cooper are about to go through a life altering experience together and it is a hard won happily ever after that they are granted. Ms. Whitley Green has my undivided attention as an extremely gifted Author, with her ability to draw readers right in to a compelling, and yet, compassionate storyline. The realistic characters are spot on, and you can not help but love them. I am one of those people, who do not like to give away any part of the plot away, so that I do not ruin it for other readers. However, this easily envisioned release is sure to keep you glued throughout, and well worth your time.
I was beyond fortunate to have requested an advanced reader's copy of Sear in exchange for my honest and voluntarily given opinion.
Congratulations to Ms. Green, for another compelling romance.

Smut with heart. Delicious.
This is one of those series that you enjoy the character development, then read one-handed during some scenes because reasons. (Rawr). Some of the plot is fairly predictable, but it's 4am, I can't sleep, and overly intellectual books aren't my go-to in these circumstances.
Full disclosure: The action is all mixes between the MFM leads, which happens to be my favorite recipe. An example:
"No shocked passive participation this time, Drew eases my mouth open, drawing me out with his tongue. At the first touch of that tongue on mine, a choked moan—it might have been mine, but I’ll never admit it—has him pulling back to look me in the eyes. Whatever he sees there makes his breath catch, and in the next second his body is tight against mine, pressing me back into the wall."
So delish.

Excellent book. Drew needs a girlfriend to stave off an overly amorous coworker. Who better than his BFF Bailey. At the party they run in Cooper, Drew’s irritating coworker. Drew is surprised when Bailey and Cooper know each other from college.
Turns out there were a lot of old crushes between the three of them. While the three of them each have history with each other and Bailey was even engaged to Drew’s brother, the connections work in the book and don’t feel contrived. Perhaps that’s what jump starts the relationships and lends to their believability.
All three of them have their own issues to work through and you throw on a complicated relationship. Great to see how each of them are hiding their own insecurities and work through the conflict tearing them apart.

Bailey has a history with Cooper and she's best friends with Drew. Drew asks Bailey for help when someone he doesn't want to be with is a little aggressive towards him. So he asks her if she'll pretend to be his girlfriend to help him out. Sparks fly between them all and soon things heat up between them making things even more complicated. Will they be able to be something more to one another? Or will their unique relationship come to an end?
This is a great story that will hook you from the start. The chemistry between them is off the charts hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

Sear it does
A threesome is great way to spend the night. A throple is a great way to spend a life. Bailey, Cooper and Drew were sexy and steamy but their characters were deeper then just sex. They were relatable. Their jobs, real lives and family connections could belong to any reader in real life. While their connection with each other developed so did it's affect on their lives and not everything was roses. This author didn't make their relationship easy, she demonstrated how much work goes into making a happy, healthy relationship succeed. There were sacrifices made by all, a fee bumps along the way and a couple of twists. But a lot of smexy times that are kindle melting hot. Definitely a great read and I can't wait for another book.

This was kinda awful.
I always used to skip books like these until Scribd happened. It keeps reccomneding me tons of books when it takes away the popular titles and since I have to lose to something -I tend to give in. It's safe to say that so far this worked out really well. I discovered books that I would have never known about or would have picked up otherwise.
I went in hoping something similar would happen. The glowingly positive reviews here also kinda reaffirmed the fact that THIS WAS ALL GOOD.
But, it wasn't.
You follow 3 characters in the first person pov and they are all kinda written in a very shallow way (?) It felt as if they started with their desire to have sex and ended with the desire to have sex. I don't know if this is categorised as erotica or not and if it is then - whether it's inappropriate of me to expect a story from it.
To add to all of this, one of the two boy's voices actors was PAINFUL to listen to!
All in all, this was bad. And not for me!

Drew asks Bailey to be his fake girlfriend to this function and she says yes. She didn't know she'd be seeing her old classmate Cooper. The three of them went to school together. Drew doesn't remember but Bailey and Cooper do. Because of the scene Drew and Cooper caused at the gala they are sent to management. Drew and Cooper are meant to stay together on site at work to make sure everything runs smoothly for the competition.
When you love someone it shouldn't matter whether it's a girl or a guy or even both. Why can't you let someone love who they want to. The gala is definitely something you'd want to see. I enjoyed the whole situation with Allen. The closet was incredible. The anniversary party was so heartbreaking and sweet. I love the ending. This is so good!

I received this ARC from Bad Boy Update. This is a love triangle, but in the best way! Drew and Bailey have been friends forever, so when he needs a fake girlfriend she doesn't hesitate. Neither have ever told the other that they want to be more than friends, and when Cooper is added to the mix there are fireworks both good and bad! Drew and Cooper are rivals at work, but they can't deny the pull between them. When Drew finds out that Bailey knew Cooper in college he realizes he needs to step up his game and tell Bailey the truth about how he feels, and how he feels about Cooper. I love the twists, the drama and the smoking hot passion!!!

Omg what can I say about this book?? I friggin loved it. I feel like I need to write a review for each of these books but man I think this was on my favourite. I loved the story line and the cooking (I'm a baker so hello so my scene) I loved the media outlook on it and how being in a poly relationship can be very different and especially when you live in the media life and how people will say what they want without caring. I knew there was gonna be a happy ending and I just couldn't stop listening to it. You can find happiness in the strangest places and these 3 I've been rooting for since the second book. Now I'm rambling. 5* and just wow.

Opposites Attract
This one is my favorite of the three. Andrew and Bailey have been best friends for years. She wss also engaged to Andrew's brother. Bailey and Cooper went on one date in college. Surprisingly they all went to college together. Andrew the jock and Cooper the nerd. Years later Andrew is a cooking instructor and Cooper is a student so to speak. Their clashing brought about a job together for a cooking competition where Bailey ends up a contestant. That's when the sparks fly for everyone. I like how they fought to be together, especially after the way Andrew's family acted. This was a good story.💓💓

This is a well-written mmf menage romance, Bailey and Drew have been best friends since college, Bailey and Cooper dated a bit in college and Drew and Cooper hate each other..... makes for an interesting read. Hate is the other side of the coin, so they say. Definitely in this case. This trio have some serious intense chemistry, really complete each other. They have plenty going against them but their feelings are deep and definitely strengthen as the story unfolds. Really entertaining story.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book. We're back at Sizzle, where there is some cooking but more gossip to be made and heard. Cooper, Drew and Bailey go way back - to their College time about a decade ago. Neither did expect that things would go to the next level. A very hot story with a lot of background, so it's not only about the three of them and their growing relationship but the things that go on around them as well. Very entertaining with all the bickering between Coop and Drew that makes you laugh out loud every how and than.

Omg, what a shocker. I would have never guessed, but it’s like they say opposite do attract. I really loved reading about Bailey, Andrew and Cooper story, tops it all. They are out and shining bright, except at work which is understandable. I must say that I am amazed that Cooper did tell Andrew about his crush on him. I give them all the thumbs up for being open and risking their livelihood to take the necessary step forward. As for the competition itself I loved the mystery and the twists thistle develops as the competition finalizes.

Old College Chemistry Now Cooking - and Boiling Over
MMF Bisexual Friends-To-Lovers/Enemies-To-Lovers/Unrequited Love/Faux Boyfriend steamy Romance
I loved the “college jock doesn't remember the nerd who had a crush on him” theme.
Cooper’s edge was nicely biting and entertaining, a nice foil to Andrew’s upstanding family issues and Bailey’s sublimated self-sacrifices.
As common in the MMF genre, there was plenty of decent sizzle. Patrick taking Cooper post shower was particularly edgy (and appreciated) for this type of book.

Loved it!! Yes, yes, yes! I will definitely reread and recommend and recommend and reread. Did I mention I’d reread? Because I will. It was hot and sweet! And the reason I actually love this one is because I felt the connection between the three of them.. No part of this throuple made feel as though they were an intruder or outsider. They all felt in love with each other. I felt the connection between them flow and it was hot and sweet. And oh le sigh. I liked the moments between two of the three and didn’t feel like they work best or any combo of two. 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

I dont often like threesomes because it always seems like two people like each other and then draw in the third. This is not one of those type of tiresome. Bailey, Drew and Cooper are so intertwined that none feel the other is trying to get more time or close.
These three are a great throuple. They talk and interact together as a whole.
I really like all three characters. Andcwhike there is drama it is caused by outsiders.

This book just didn't work for me. The narration was fine. But I was very frustrated with the female lead. I didn't like how she would talk about herself. It got a bit repetitive.
I also didn't like that we never got to read/see the reunion between the three at the end. It just jumps forward to the morning after the making up. I didn't understand leaving that out.
To many things for me that just took me out of the story.

I loved this series but by the end of this book I think I have had enough of thruple drama for a while! I know there is one more book to go but I am just done with the endless humping! Nobody mentions the feelings of being left out, Jealousy, feeling like the added extra spare part or the just wanting to sit and watch TV without any sexy time! It can't be a blooming hornfest all the time. 🤣🤣🤣 might have to start a murder mystery to have a break from the steamy scenes
April 1, 2020
Drew ask his bestfriend Bailey to be his fake girlfriend to make a coworker leave him alone. His nemesis is also at this gathering and he learns that him and Bailey have a past. They develop a steamy drama filled relationship. But when the relationship becomes public will the men fight for what they want or will the drama be too much for them.

I was lucky enough to get an ARC copy of this book and I voluntarily chose to review it. A well written book and the characters are awesome. This is the first book I have read by this author. I will encourage everyone to get this book. It is worth your time. I don't do spoilers so I will say get this one it is worth your time and effort.

Great read!
I really enjoyed the book. There was an actual storyline. I wish authors would write more books with a little more depth like this author does. I get there is a need for Erotica.. but it’s nice to see a book wrote as if they’re individuals with interests and not just sex. I was intrigued by their relationship and it’s nice to see different lifestyles represented!!

Hot, hot, hot! Good narration and loved the heat between all 3 of them right off the bat. They weren't afraid of their sexuality or ruining friendships.
All 3 are part of a cooking competition. Copper the host, Drew the show runner, and Bailey a contestant. They all have something to lose with their relationship- jobs, family, and followers. They figure it out and get their hea

phew finally!
A great story again from Whitley. But I don’t know why it was very difficult for me to continue reading, up until 68% into the book. The characters,esp Bailey was soggy to me huhu sorrehh! But again, it was a great read esp towards the end. The cooking classes in the beginning, not so much. But still a good read ^~^/*

These get better and better! I thought the series would get repetitive, but I enjoyed this even more than the first two. The tension between Bailey, Drew and Connor was just delicious. The cooking competition setup was interesting and fun, but didn't overshadow the romance. A perfect steamy comfort read!

While reading this book, I kept waiting for my phone to catch fire. Y'all better keep some water close by. From beginning to end, it was spectacular. I don't even know if I can say that word about a book. But oh well, it was that delicious.
