I love this book because it was lighthearted, entertaining and simply a joy to read. The main character Georgia Porter, a.k.a Peaches, had been in a relationship with her fiancee Charles for the past 15 years. During that time she supported him through law school, paid all the bills to their home and provide him with a car with the promise that Charles will marry her when he passes the bar. When the day came Charles set up a date at a fancy restaurant. Peaches walks into the restaurant only to discover Charles purposing to another woman leaving Peaches devastated and leaving Charles knocked out cold. One man Reshawn observed the entire incident and realize that this woman was his old babysitter/childhood crush. Reshawn became the knight in shining amour helping Peaches out of the restaurant before the cops arrived. Peaches then realize that handsome man was the little boy she babysat whom she affectionately called Peanut. Peanut agree to become her personal trainer to help Peaches become physically fit and to make Charles jealous. Along the way he watch Peaches slowly take out her revenge on Charles in the most humorous of ways and Peanut realizes that he is still in love with her yet he has a secret that threatens to destroy their relationship.I love in he book the many different ways Peaches takes out her revenge on Charles. That alone is worth reading the book. What prevented me from giving it 5 stars is that Charles's mistress Mercedez. She is a wise guy smart mouth kind of woman who is well aware of Charles games and his fiancee yet she sleeps with him anyway. She doesn't allow Charles to treat her like he treated Peaches and demands the world from him even though she knows he is broke. This character was unbelievable to me because she has money and influence of her own. since her family own. There was no reason for Mercedez to be with a man who offers him nothing knowing that she was not in love with him. I also didn't see what was Reshawn fascination with Peaches when their personalities were so totally different. Peaches is wild and crazy and Reshawn was so subdued.I will guarantee you that this book will make you laugh and will make you cheer for Peaches and it will make you feel better about yourself and you not want this romance to end.
