    About this audiobook

    In Fern Michaels's extraordinary, inspiring New York Times bestseller, an overweight woman sets out to improve her life by losing fifty-five pounds—and ends up changing much more than her dress size!

    Rosie Gardener fell under the spell of handsome Kent Bliss, and not even her best friend Vickie could persuade her that her fiancé was a two-timing cad. Now it's her third wedding anniversary, and Rosie, fed up with Kent's mistreatment, realizes her estranged best friend was right. But the day after kicking Kent out and beginning a diet and exercise regime, Rosie experiences another life-changing event: she wins $302 million in the Wonderball lottery. Now with Kent lurking in the shadows to claim a share of her money, Rosie needs her friends more than ever. As she works out under the eye of sexy personal trainer Jack Silver, a stronger new Rosie emerges—a woman who wants to learn to trust love once again. Can she keep her vow not to be stopped by Kent's bitterness and her own self-doubts and jump into life with a passion she didn't know she possessed?

    Fern Michaels

    New York Times bestselling author Fern Michaels has a passion for romance, often with a dash of suspense and drama. It stems from her other joys in life—her family, animals, and historic home. She is usually found in South Carolina, where she is either tapping out stories on her computer, rescuing or supporting animal organizations, or dabbling in some kind of historical restoration.

      Everything it was about selfishness and empowerment all wrapped up in one !
    • 3/5
      Two women, friends from youth and owners of a crafters business, part ways when one plans to marry a man the other knows will break her heart. Rosie, the woman planning to get married, is over weight and lacking in confidence. Her finance is good looking and a womanizer. Her friend breaks her heart by not attending the wedding and leaves for Europe for three years,During those three years, the marriage breaks down when Rosie's husband Kent won't even make love to her as he deems her to fat- a beached whale so to speak. He really married her for her money and lives the good life spending it.Rosie finally gets angry enough to kick him out and decides to become fit and hires a fitness expert. Eventually she falls for the instructor & he for her. She eventually enters a triathlon and so does Kent. This is much like watching a film on the Hallmark Channel. Even the villain Kent sees the error of his ways in this novel.
    • 4/5
      A lovely story of two best friends, once upon a time, who fall out over a man -- specifically Rosie's cheating husband, who only wants her money. But on the day Rosie wises up and kicks him out, she wins the lottery! How to get rid of the husband without handing over the money? And where does her ex best friend fit in the picture?Rosie is a wonderful character and I rooted for her throughout. The story is not bad. Fun read.
    • 3/5
      This is the first time I’ve read anything by Fern Michaels. Pretty Woman was an inspiring story. I enjoyed the characters, so much. Especially Rosie. You just can’t help cheering for her. I think Kent’s change in attitude seemed a little unreal. Rosie kinda let him off easy. He was living off of Rosie in the start of the book, and because of Rosie’s generous nature, he will live well the rest of his life. It just didn’t seem right considering the years of emotional abuse he put Rosie through.What I really hated about this book was the reference of a woman, being a size 14, and being fat. Size 14 is far from fat. Fuller figured maybe. No woman should feel that they have to be a size 4 or 6 to be beautiful, and to be classified as beautiful by society. Having confidence is the key. If you are a fuller figured woman. And you are happy and confident with yourself, all the more power to you.
    • 2/5
      A quick mindless read, I enjoyed it.
    • 4/5
      This was the perfect break from my usual fare of dark murder mysteries; a light, fun read about friendship, love, marriage, self-esteem and winning the lottery! Put it down with a big smile on my face.
    • 1/5
      So banally written that I couldn't even finish half of it.
