I will say that it is well written, but slow on the uptake to really grab the reader's attention.  It took me roughly half the book to stop struggling with it and finally get hang of the flow of the story.  Not to offer spoilers here, but the focus on whom the reader should focus on was a little distracted because of all the other characters being tossed into the mix.  There was very little character history brought fully to light when it came to the hero/heroine.  There was a little mystery thrown in, but it did not have any solid footing.  Especially when it came to one certain character, I will not mention whom, but once you read the book... you will see what I mean.  When the conclusion to wrap up the story came along, as well as the additional epilogue at the end....  there was no full understanding of where the characters are, but almost enough assumption where that was.The reason I am not offering spoilers is that there are some really decent parts and I did eventually enjoy the book, but looking back (since I waited a day to write this), I did not feel as moved as I probably should be.  Come to think about it.... the title was not even all that connected to the story.  The heroine was not all that fat to where she had "love handles"...  she was just curvy with an ample chest and hips with a small waist.  Not exactly the true definition of what love handles are.With that being said.... I would not stop a person from reading this book, but I am not all that confident that I would recommend it to a friend with high marks.
