Big Girl Panties

Well, I finished this novel and was very satisfied! We left off when Logan came to Holly's home to console her. Logan and Holly began to spend lots of time together as friends, and the perks to being a friend to someone like Logan? The star treatment. Logan's best friend, Chase,  is a star baseball player so Holly starts going to the games with his wife, Amanda, and Logan. Amanda and Holly quickly became friends and started shopping together since Holly began to swim in her clothes. Although Holly wasn't the skinny model type, she started to really look amazing and it was time to show it off. Holly began spending more time flaunting and trying to get Logan's attention more and more. Finally, at the gym during a workout session it happened! Not so smoothly at first, Logan spanked her(once you read the book you can find out why) Holly was appalled and slapped Logan and then they began to kiss and ended up doing a different kind of workout on the gym floor. From that moment on Logan and Holly spent every waking moment together, inside where no one could see them. Was Logan embarrassed of Holly and her chubby figure or was he reluctant to face his changing ways from the models he's used to dating? I don't want to spoil anything for any of you who may pick this one up but I will tell you this novel wasn't just about a love story. It's about facing your past, loving yourself and accepting change. I loved it and would definitely recommend this one!

"Big Girl Panties"

Once again, I started a new book. Maybe having a lot on my mind is preventing me from thoroughly enjoying a good book lately (my husband deploys to Afghanistan August 7th) but while in target last night I came across "Big Girl Panties" by, Stephanie Evanovich. I LOVE this novel so far and believe I will be able to finish this one, actually I haven't been able to put it down! The book is about a women, Holly, who had lost her husband two years ago and found food helped her cope with her depression. She was lonely, fat, and her appearance had become quite sloppy then she sat next to Logan on a plane. Logan was a personal trainer for the rich and famous athletes. As Holly describes, he is ridiculously good looking and way out of her league. While on the plane together he ends up offering his services to get her happy and healthy, turns out she's really determined and looking better with each workout. Four months into her training, Holly has a break down and calls Logan in the middle of the night, he rushes to her house finding a truck load of sweets on her table and takes her for a run. Later he finds out the real problem, she was cleaning out her late husband's closet. Logan spends the whole night consoling her and getting to know who she really is, she hasn't offered any personal information about herself up until that point. A love story is definitely brewing! I can't wait to get back to it, I think I'll have it finished by the next blog. Now, back to reading with short breaks for packing up the house in between!

Wow, coming back from a month long vacation has really got me all out of sorts! I think I need a vacation from my vacation.
While in Michigan I start to read "Fifty Shades of Grey" for the fourth time. I can't help it, I'm obsessed! Unfortunately I forgot this book at my dad's house and didn't have anything to read on our 15 hour car ride! It was awful. On a side note, I really hope Ian Somerhalder plays Christian in the movie (if you don't know him look him up, you will fall in love).
So we got home late Wednesday and I started to read a random book I found in my closet on Thursday called, "As Husbands Go" by, Susan Isaacs. *Caution, don't leave this book on the table because you husband will think you are planning his death since there is a picture of a casket in a Hurst on the cover.  The book starts off with the narrations of a women, she's a mother and talks about her own beauty and brains for most of what I have read so far. She quite college to marry a plastic surgeon and threw away her dreams of becoming a landscape architecture for being a wife and a mother. Something tells me she's going to kill her husband, I don't know maybe by the title.  I'm not sure yet if I will continue to read this one, I'm going to the beach today and will be reading in the sun, if it doesn't catch my attention by the end of the day then I will be on the search for a new one!
