Operation: Romance is one of the sweetest romantic books I’ve read. Jessica Elliott has such a sweet voice and her characters wrapped around your heart.
When Stacie decides to play matchmaker for her mom, she’s approached by the hottest football player in school!! Johnny is wanting to set his football coach up on a date. So together they devise a scheme.
The bets are on, if they win Stacie will go to the prom with Johnny, but if they fail, the cheerleaders get to dress the football team up as cheerleaders.
This is a funny, uplifting book, it will leave you smiling long after the last page is finished.

Beautifully Written Book

(Note: This review does not spoil)
I loved this book! As a teenager, I really struggle with finding clean romances to read, but Jessica L. Elliott didn't let me down! Nor has she ever.

I loved this book because it was sweet romance, with good banter. It's something safe any teenager could read, and it will bring a smile to your face. You'd love this book!

So sweet

This is a cute book with the happily ever after that you want. Stacie wants her mom to be happy and the football players want their coach to have something outside of practice. Stacie’s Mom just can’t resist the sweet and shy coach and after her divorce Shawn is exactly what she needs and deserves.
