Review of Sizzle by Whitley Green
Elliot's restaurant desperately needs a miracle to keep it from going under. That miracle comes in the form of food blogger, Joelle. She's the lifesaver Duckbill needs, but it means Elliot cannot act on his immediate attraction to her. He can, however, encourage the attraction he can see between her and his best friend and roommate, Alex. But what happens when Joelle wants both of them? Even more significantly, when Elliot's feelings for Alex morph into something he's never experienced before - for a man?
I enjoyed this MMF ménage, mostly because of Alex and Elliot. I almost felt like Joelle was an intrusion on the men's developing relationship, rather than a completion of it, so I couldn't fairly give this the 5 stars I almost could have. Alex and Elliot's relationship was the interesting one, the way it developed, all the bumps and obstacles anyone would experience while one came to terms with his new feelings. It was portrayed so realistically and in an entirely readable way. So, if Joelle weren't even in the story, I would have been even happier. As it's written, though, she's an OK character, just not that interesting or likable. Aside from her, though, I liked Sizzle. It's steamy, emotionally substantive and has two likable characters. I think 4 stars is fair for a ménage that really should have been just a couple.
