Big Girl Panties: A Novel

Big Girl Panties by Stephanie Evanovich is a rollicking and poignant romantic comedy about a young widow who decides to get in shape...and winds up getting her groove back—and a whole lot more!
 
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?

A rollicking, feel-good romantic comedy about a young widow who decides to get in shape . . . and winds up getting her groove back!

Holly didn't expect to be a widow at thirty-two. She also didn't expect to be so big. After her husband's death, food was the one thing she could count on. Now, those extra pounds make flying coach torture—especially squished next to Logan, a hot personal trainer. Though Holly isn't his "type," Logan is intrigued by her wit and spontaneously offers to help get her back in shape.

To Logan's (and her own) surprise, Holly turns out to be a natural in the gym, one with killer curves—which leads to steamy workouts away from the gym. But can a man whose life depends on looks commit to a woman who isn't a perfect 10? Now that Holly's turning other men's heads, does she need Logan? Is their romance destined to fizzle?
