On her third wedding anniversary, Rosie Gardener Bliss is forced to face some hard facts: She foolishly lost the best friend she'd ever had, her husband had never loved her and she's eaten her way beyond overweight. When her husband doesn't come home for their anniversary dinner, Rosie develops a long-needed backbone and kicks Kent Bliss out, cutting him off completely from the lavish lifestyle he married.

Shedding Ken is just the first step in rediscovering the real Rosie Gardener. She hires a personal trainer, begins a stringent exercise program, resumes interest in the home interior business and makes up with her best friend. There's just a couple of small glitches in her quest for the new Rosie -- she has the hots for her personal trainer and she wins the $302 million Wonderball Lottery, which Kent is determined to get his hands on.

I can always count on a few belly laughs and a few tears when I read something by Fern Michaels, and she delivers that and more in PRETTY WOMAN. Rosie's journey of self- discovery is one that many will identify with. Add to that a collection of friends and coworkers, at turns quirky and tender, and a soon-to-be ex who you can't wait to see get what he deserves, and you have an outstanding read. You're gonna love this one!
