Search - He Loves Lucy

This book was a great read. Wonderfully written, great characters. It had some wonderful laugh out loud moments. Theo and Lucy make a great team. I've already reread it many times.

What a good book, I like how the author addressed the feelings of someone who has been heavy and has dealt with a lot of emotional issues that end up oozing out after some time. Great read and very quick - really like this author.

Can a romance book get any better than Susan Donovan's HE LOVES LUCY? I think not! From true-to-life characters, deep emotion, witty dialogue, and red-hot sexual tension, this book has the one thing that contemporary romances should have-everything!

Lucy Cunningham is a marketing executive for the advertising firm of Sherrod & Thoms. And she's hit upon the absolutely perfect idea for a gimmick for the Palm Club of Miami Beach, Florida-bring in an overweight woman, throw her into the capable hands of a personal trainer, vow to lose one hundred pounds in a year, and let the television show WakeUp Miami detail each achievement and setback. It was an excellent idea, until the powers-that-be decided that Lucy-and her two hundred and thirty some pounds-be the human guinea pig in this marketing campaign.

Threatened by the fact that she'll have to give up Milk Duds, extra-cheese pizza, and butter brickle ice cream, Lucy is overwhelmed by the task ahead of her. Sure, ever since the debacle of being the slump buster for Pitt State's football team, she's been eating herself into oblivion, and something obviously needs to change. But working with a Ken look-a-like named Theodore Redmond was never part of the deal!

From the first time Theo is forced to perform CPR on a candy-choking, overweight loudmouth by the name of Lucy, he's smitten by her courageous attitude and brave strength in the face of adversity. As for Lucy, being in the presence of Theo's male perfection is taking a toll on her already fragile hormones.

As Stephan Sherrod, her boss, comes close to having a mental breakdown over Lucy's sudden stardom and weight loss; as Theo's rebuffed coworker Lola DiPaolo attempts to bring down the Palm Club; as Lucy's brother, Dan, falls in lust with her new model friend, Gia Altamonte; as Lucy's sister, Mary Fran, goes through a marital crisis, you just know that HE LOVES LUCY is heading toward one heck of an ending!

Susan Donovan has taken a premise that might have failed, and turned it into a funny, poignant, truly romantic story. I love romance books that feature real-sized characters, and Lucy is definitely that. I have to admit that I was at first worried about Theo's feelings for Lucy-was he only going to fall head-over-heels once Lucy was a stick-thin version of her former self? As I learned, there was nothing to fear! At the end of the story, Lucy is still not a beanpole, and Theo shows that behind his gorgeous exterior lies a heart of gold.

Theo is the kind of hero I love the best, a mix of alpha male. Theo dropped out of medical school to care for his brother Buddy. Sixteen years old and born with Downs Syndrome, Buddy, is the kind of brother anyone would want. An athlete in the Special Olympics, his antics and no-holds-barred advice to his older brother are not to be missed.

The supporting cast of characters only adds to the charm of Lucy and Theo's story. An excellent book by an excellent author, HE LOVES LUCY goes onto my keeper shelf, in the to-be-read-again category.

Cute fast read. 1st I've read by this author and I really enjoyed it. An overweight gal falls for a man with buns of steel. He's helping her lose the pounds and her heart. Read in 1 day was soooo good. Enjoy.

This is a book for anyone who has doubts about themselves and their lives. Funny, wonderful Lucy made my day! New author for me. I want to read more!

I had read Pretty Woman by Fern Michaels and LOVED it. He Loves Lucy was recommended to me as a similar read...and I enjoyed it even more than Michaels' book!

This was a great story. I enjoyed reading about a down to earth, average heroine who is overweight (how often does that happen?) and finds love. Granted, the storyline involves a challenge to lose the weight, but also how her personal trainer appreciates the lovely person inside and ultimately falls in love with her. Great fun with lots of laugh out loud scenes.

Lucy is an overweight lady who has never really gotten over a college incident. As a result she hids behind her looks. That is until a PR stunt forces Lucy to take a good hard look at herself. It also brings her into the sphere of trainer Theo Redmond. It's love at first sight for Lucy...but will her feeling ever be returned?

Theo may have the looks that mean success, but his heart is frozen. Life has been hard and he works jsut as hard to keep his demons at bay. That is until a funny, sweet lady stumbles into his world. He takes one look at Lucy and realizes his life is about to change...and for the better...if he lets it. Will these two special people finally find a happy ending?

If you've ever been "over weight" then you'll love this book. For once the hunky "perfect bodied" guy falls for the "curvy" woman. It was a great romance!!

I loved this booked --I laughed and laughed, then I got motivated and tried to have half the success that Lucy did with her program.

Any avid reader of romances should definitely pick up any of Susan Donovan's books. Her books have it all. Romance, emotion and steamy love scenes. This book about a plus size woman who wants to makeover her body and finds the love of her life in the process. I absolutely loved it.

Overall, a very good story of love for plus size woman. It's encouraging and funny all at the same time.

This was a fun read. The characters are likeable.
