Book Reviews of Pretty Woman: A NovelBook Review: Finding Your Inner Strength Summary: 4 Stars"Pretty Woman" is an entertaining story about an insecure young woman who discovers confidence and self esteem. Rosalie Gardener Bliss is a successful business woman, whose claim to fame is in the form of her extremely creative business of turning weeds into "Nature's Decorations." However, on a personal note, Rosie has hit rock bottom. After 3 years in a loveless marriage to Kent Bliss (a man about town), Rosie is ready to break loose and really become her own woman. She has allowed him to use and abuse her and now she has decided she is finished with his cheating and flamboyant lifestyle on her money. Coincidently, as Rosie makes up her mind to "throw the bum out," she becomes the winner of the $320 million Wonderball lottery. Controversy and scam play into the storyline when Kent finds out about his wife's amazing luck. He is determined to claim his spousal right on half her winnings, married or not, in any way he can, legal or not! Enter Jack Silver, Rosie's personal trainer and the man behind the idea to train Rosie for the Thanksgiving Triathlon (10-mile run, 5-mile bike ride and 3 mile canoe trip) to reclaim her self-confidence and stand up to the dark forces that surround her life. Jack's trust and faith in Rosie push her to begin a grueling three months of training. The fantasy portion of this story regarding Jack's deceased wife, Martha and the angel oak that took her spirit form, was somewhat over the top, but still I found it to be pleasurable. If you crave a few hours of comfort and relaxation, this book will do the trick!

Now it's her third wedding anniversary, and Rosie, fed up with Kent's mistreatment, realizes her estranged best friend was right.
