In BIG GIRL
PANTIES, Evanovich introduces readers to Holly Brennan—a 32-year old grieving
widow in need of a change. Having spent too much time mired in sadness and
grief-eating, Holly heads out of town to settle her husband’s estate and try to
move on. Enter Logan Montgomery—a personal trainer to the country’s most famous
professional athletes who also happens to be sitting next to her on the flight
home.
Holly’s
mortified by the way she’s squeezed into the airplane seat, but as they chat,
Logan quickly realizes she has a sharp wit and keen insight—a welcome change
from the sexy but superficial women he usually dates. When he impulsively
offers to train her at his private gym, Holly surprises even herself and
agrees.
Holly
discovers she’s a natural athlete, and as her fitness level increases, so does
a new found confidence. When Logan finally introduces Holly to his best
friends, baseball superstar Chase Walker and his wife Amanda (a feisty curvy
woman herself), they instantly see what Logan doesn’t; Holly is knockout. As
their smoldering attraction starts to spark in earnest, Holly and Logan will
have to decide if their love is for real…or just about looks.

Review by
Marlene Engel
After the untimely
death of Holly’s husband, she finds solace in food. Holly knows that she’s a big girl and doesn’t
make any apologies for it. Instead, she
pokes fun at herself before anyone else can.
But when she is seated next to a man, whose looks rival a Greek God, he
doesn’t fall for her self-insulting comments.
Instead he offers up his services.
As a personal trainer to professional athletes, Logan feels that he can
help Holly get into shape and possibly even into feeling better about
herself. After all, he was kind of a
jerk when they first met and he’s always loved the feel of taking on a new
client and showing them their full potential.
What Logan didn’t expect was for Holly to be such a natural athlete. So, when her body starts transforming it
doesn’t take long for Logan to take notice.
With her snarky, sarcastic attitude and now a hot body to match, it was
only time before their interaction went from the gym to the bedroom. There’s no doubt that there is chemistry, but
will the person she was when they first met hinder him from wanting to have a future
with her? After all, Logan’s in an
industry where how you look is top priority.
Will he be able to look past the woman she once was and see the woman
she now is?
Big Girl Panties has all of the aspects that I look
for in a book … humor, romance, steamy love scenes and a great story! I absolutely loved Holly’s character. She is a riot. Her comments and outlook on life had me
laughing out loud. And, although Logan
seemed shallow at first, he redeems himself after a while. And can we talk about the love scenes (fans
self). Whoa, there were some steamy
one. I loved this book. I actually think it would make a great
movie! This book is a must read. If you are anything like me, you will have it
read in no time. It was hard to put down
and impossible not to love!
