<B>From the award-winning author of <I>Dead Broke </I>and <I>Bedroom Bully </I>comes a new sizzling adventure featuring three sexy thirtysomethings who are single and ready to mingle—but weighed down with insecurities that could tip any scale. </B><P>Let’s face it; no one is 100% satisfied with their figures— everyone has a little extra baby fat or trouble spot they wish some magic trick could make disappear.

Haunted by the image of her ex’s model-skinny mistress, she’s determined to lose her baby weight, and then some. After several unsuccessful (but hilarious) attempts, she joins a gym and is shocked when she catches the attention of her svelte, suave personal trainer. Rhea has no trouble channeling her inner sex goddess over email, but when her long-distance flirtation with Trent causes him to book an impromptu trip to meet her in person, Rhea panics. Terrence, a divorced former college football player turned homicide detective, has been big and tall all his life. Now, in his mid-thirties he had given up trying to look like the lineman he was in college. Weight issues, a health scare, and tragedy close to home sends his life completely offtrack—but an encounter with an unlikely party forces him to make a change in the right direction. <P>Engaging and fast-paced, <I>Love Handles </I>addresses the universal topic of body image, and shows that true beauty comes in all shapes and sizes.
