Susan Donovan will steal your heart. Her acerbic wit, her humor - often self-effacing, and her insecurities were all thoroughly developed and displayed in a very realistic yet still funny way that made her intensely sympathetic as a character and more than a little lovable as a person.
Theo was a doll, and a truly great guy, but he also had his emotional baggage and past traumas, insecurities, and fears, and that balanced him out nicely and kept him well away from the too-good-too-be-true ledge. Their story, from beginning to end, was so entertaining, and I truly appreciate a romance that develops over a realistic amount of time and for the right reasons, as opposed to the many lust-driven relationships with a week or less from first sight to wedding bells that I've read in many romance novels lately.
Don't get me wrong, there's tons of lust between Lucy and Theo, but their romance was driven just as much by their genuine caring and respect for each other, their compatibility and their emotions, as well as their hormones. And I was very impressed by the aspects of the plot that dealt with Lucy's weight loss, including those daily food journal entries.
Donovan dealt with this exceptionally sensitive subject with tons of humor, grace, and keen insights into the minds of the dieting, while managing to promote the necessity of a healthy self image and the importance of the intrinsic combination of both physical and mental health. This isn't a book about a woman losing weight to get a guy. It's really about getting healthy because healthy is better, and while the initial motivation is the challenge and the money, and there's certainly a guy involved, I never got the sense that Lucy was losing weight so Theo would love her - and that's really what set this book apart from just a fun comedy romance.
It was really fun, though. The main characters were great, the secondary and ancillary characters seemed genuine and were well rounded, adding a nice feeling of fullness to the lives of Lucy and Theo as they interacted with them. There were plenty of subplots that added depth and dimension to the arc of the book, and most of those subplots were fleshed out nicely, or touched upon just enough not to overwhelm the main plot while adding flavor and texture to it.
I could have done without the odd subplot about Lucy's boss, though. I didn't like that at all. It was, for me, the one weak spot of the book, because it was cursorily developed, didn't make a whole lot of sense, and was a little all over the map, and when Lola was tossed into the mix, and I thought something significant would finally develop, it fizzled and went nowhere.
It was the only part of the book that didn't seem to fit and is really my only issue with the whole story. I loved everything else about this book, even the parts that I knew at some point would be coming given the nature of the plot. I enjoyed it immensely.
When I read the blurb on this book, I thought I wouldn't like it. The concept of a love affair between a personal trainer and his customer just didn't seem like a fun story to me. Turns out, I was wrong!!
Detailed Review Summary of He Loves Lucy by Susan Donovan
I bought this because of the great reviews on Amazon and am happy to give a 5 star review of my own. The premise is simple enough: Lucy and Theo the personal trainer are participating in an advertising campaign for Theo's gym. The gimmick is that, with Theo's training, Lucy will lose up to pounds. The book jumps right into the story with the first page describing Lucy and Theo's first experience at the gym and the rest of the novel is generally fast-paced and takes us through the process of Lucy losing the weight, becoming a minor celebrity, dealing with a psycho boss, falling in love, and moving on with her life as a skinny woman.

The book is funny, romantic, entertaining and poignant. If I have a problem with anything in the book, it is that I didn't think that boss's story was really needed.
