Big Girl Panties by Stephanie Evanovich -336 pages
ARC from William Morrow
Holly Brennan didn’t expect to be a widow at thirty-two. She also didn’t expect to be so big. Through her husband Bruce’s diagnosis and death, food was the one thing she could always count on. Now, those extra pounds make flying coach more than a little mortifying-especially since she’s sitting next to Adonis himself, aka Logan Montgomery, a personal trainer to the country’s most famous pro athletes.
Though Holly doesn’t make the grade on his first-impression meter, Logan finds himself intrigued by her sharp wit and keen insight-a welcome change from the beautiful bubble-headed dolls he usually dates-and impulsively offers to get her back in shape. Ready to make at least one positive change in her life, Holly agrees.
To Logan’s (and her own) surprise, Holly turns out to be a natural in the gym. Throwing herself into exercise, the red head with the blazing wit and welcoming smile slims down into a bonafide looker with killer curves-and a new kind of hunger. Soon, the easy intimacy and playful banter of their training sessions lead Logan and Holly into the bedroom where they share their most intense and steamy workouts yet.
But can a man whose whole life depends on looks commit himself to a woman who doesn’t fit his image? Now that Holly’s turning other men’s heads, does she even need Logan anymore? Are they a couple built to last . . . or is this sizzling affair going to burn out fast?
This book was quite awful. Not much to review. Perhaps author got the deal due to nepotism with her famous author and aunt Janet Evanovich. Scenes were predictable and the dialogue was sophomoric.
Interesting sounding book! Thanks for the review, I might suggest this as our next book club read. Check out a book called “Secrets of a Spiritual Guru” by Tamara Lee Dorris; and her website, http://tamaradorris.net/. It’s a really fun read and somewhat pokes fun a serious topics, we just finished reading it. Thanks again for the review and recommendation!
