Big Girl Panties by Stephanie Evanovich

This is one of those books that should be on a top 100 chick lit books list. I'm sure it is somewhere, I just haven't seen it. I really liked it, loved the main characters. Amanda and Chase turned out to be not at all what I thought they would be. And Logan, even though he could be a bit of an ass, proved to be very likable too. I'd like to give props to Holly for all that she endured and was still able to come out strong on the other side. Even so, she manage to grow a lot, and lose a lot (of weight) at the same time. I'm really proud of her. 

Definitely one of those books to put on your list as it holds some surprises, and I think it would make a really cute date movie too. 

From the GoodReads website, "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 always count on. Now, those extra pounds make flying coach feel like medieval torture—especially when she's squished next to Logan Montgomery. A personal trainer to famous pro athletes, her seatmate is so hot that he makes Holly sweat in all the right (and so embarrassingly wrong!) places.

Logan finds himself intrigued by Holly's sharp wit and keen insights, so he impulsively offers to get her back in shape. Holly turns out to be a natural in the gym, slimming down into a bona fide looker with killer curves—and a new kind of hunger. Before either of them can stop it, the easy intimacy of their training sessions leads to even more steamy workouts away from the gym. But can a man whose whole life depends on looks commit himself to a woman who doesn't fit his ideal? Now that Holly's turning other men's heads, does she even need Logan anymore? Are they a couple built to last…or destined to fizzle?"
