Holly Brennan used food to comfort herself through her husband’s illness and death. Now she’s alone at age thirty-two. And she weighs more than she ever has. When fate throws her in the path of Logan Montgomery, personal trainer to pro athletes, and he offers to train her, Holly concludes it must be a sign. Much as she dreads the thought of working out, Holly knows she needs to put on her big girl panties and see if she can sweat out some of her grief.

Soon, the easy intimacy and playful banter of their training sessions lead Logan and Holly to most intense and steamy workouts. But can Holly and Logan go the distance as a couple now that she’s met her goals—and other men are noticing?

Summary from Amazon.com

Handsome Boy meets Fat Girl, She starts working out with Handsome Boy, Fat Girls begins to lose weight and look good and eventually friendship turns to love. I found this book to be predictable, but a good summer read. Warning:  If you are offended by sexual content, this is not the book for you.

I have an Advanced Reader Copy and if you would like this, email me and I will send it to you.  After you are done, please pass it on!!!

I give this book a 3 star out of 5.

Summary taken from Amazon

I received an ARC (Advance Reader Copy) of this book when I attended the Book Expo in New York in May 2013.  I love attending this event because there are so many authors that come and authograph their books.  Also I get a chance to see what new books are coming out and the best part, meet many of my favorite authors.

Sarah Jio is so lovely and very pretty.  I’ve read her other book: The Violets of March:  A Novel and liked it quite alot.  I enjoy reading her books; they’re romantic, but not overly descriptive in the romantic sense.   I can easily recommend her books to anyone and I doubt they would  be offended.  I can’t wait to read more of her work.

If anyone reading this would like my ARC.  I would love to share.  Just email me and I will send it to you.  Just promise me, you will pass it on to another to enjoy!!!

 

Who Am I?

I am a librarian and like all librarians I know, love to read.  I read a little bit of everything, but my preference is for Young Adult literature.  I enjoy the diverse topics that young people can read about, learn from and realize that others (not always fictional) have many of the same issues, questions and problems.

I love France; hence the name of my blog and have been there so often.

My goal for this blog is to share with you my love of books.  I'll be sharing more along this journey.
