Where
to start….I love Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series (or I did till she got
to about #15), and this being her niece, I thought I would give it a shot. There was a lot about this book I loved…both
Evanovich women have a panache for creating delectable men…Ranger and Logan, in
my mind, look like Dwayne, the Rock, Johnson, *sigh*.
Stephanie Evanovich definitely has a much, much
naughtier side than her aunt…less than 50 shades but you get the idea…and we
got to those scenes by page 17. I do
agree with the reviews that there are some body issue/self esteem things going
on…can’t get hot guy until she loses weight ect ect ect…but it didn’t ruin it
for me. I loved the characters, there
were some laugh out loud scenes and it was just fun (wink, wink).
Book
Description From Booklist
In this modern take on My Fair Lady, obese young widow Holly
becomes the special project of Logan Montgomery, a personal trainer whose
typical clients are professional athletes. As Logan reshapes Holly’s body and
helps her deal with the emotional reasons she binge-eats, the two first become
friends and then an attraction grows. Logan has never been with anyone like
Holly before; his typical conquests are model-beautiful women who aren’t
looking for commitment. When their relationship becomes physical, they keep it
secret owing to Logan’s discomfort and Holly’s insecurities, but soon Holly
realizes that she deserves to be in a relationship with someone who accepts her
imperfections. Evanovich’s debut effort is a funny, clever, and well-paced
read, but it lacks polish. Holly is a sympathetic protagonist and Logan has his
charming moments, but the novel sends mixed messages about body image,
self-esteem, and seeking male approval. --Aleksandra Walker
