Working It Out
Hannah: You know what's even more nerve-wracking than the first day with a personal trainer? Working out ten feet from the hottest guy I've ever seen. I'm sure he won't even notice me, but it doesn't hurt to dream about, does it?
Aleks: I see attractive women in tight clothes all day, but none of them have affected me like the gorgeous woman working out near me. I'm a professional, but I'm not sure how long I'll be able to keep it together with Hannah nearby.

I am voluntarily reviewing an advanced reader copy of this book.
Hannah is a curvy woman, so when her mum gifts her a month at a gym with a personal trainer she decides she needs to give it a try. It’s her first session the day that she meets Aleks, quickly deciding that he looks like a god and he’s way out of her league or so she thinks. Aleks spotted Hannah straight away, her curves are everything that he craves. He has never been forward with a client at his gym before but she’s the exception. Biting the bullet he asks her out on a date, will she accept that he wants her and not what she can do for him?
Short and sugary sweet read. I always know what I’m getting with a book by this author, a well written story with easy to relate to characters and a little steam. 4* read.

A little eye candy will help take your mind off how much your muscles are burning when working out
Working It Out is exactly what personal trainer Aleksander "Aleks" Dmitrovic does for a living and waht Hannah Chase is finally ready to do.
Aleks is forty-one years old, a former Olympic gymnast and a personal trainer at Bronze Gym. A year ago he caught his long term and live in girlfriend in the act of cheating on him. So he decided he needed to start over again in a different city so that he would not bump into her or him. But his sister Lina does not want to see him alone any longer and refers him to the Zaftig Dating Agency.
Hannah Chase is twenty-six years old and works as a Paralegal. She is very intelligent and could have gone to college after graduating high school but she suffers from low self-esteem so decided to become a Paralegal. Unfortunately for Hannah her mother is the source of her self-esteem issue and it is all wrapped around her weight.
Hannah receives a gift certificate for one month of personal training at Bronze Gym. A note inside the envelope says she won it from a raffle she entered but as she does not remember doing that she thinks it is a gift from her mother, and a sly way of getting after her about her weight again. So the certificate sat for a while before Hannah realized that she needed to do some physical conditioning after having a hard time carrying some boxes at work. Thus she finds herself at the Gym for her first training session with the lovely Jeanna.
Aleks is working when Hannah is has her training session and he instantly finds himself being drawn to her. He even gives a hands-on correction to Hannah's posture when doing squats. Once his hands touched her it was about to be obvious that he is attracted to her so he has to walk away quickly. But when Aleks client Agnes comes in for her session he quickly finds himself finding the only mat space being next to Hannah. He just cannot stay away. Agnes, who is "78 years young", is a real live wire and up for trying anything and wanting to try it all. She steps in and really gets the ball rolling between Hannah and Aleks...........a natural matchmaker.
After a few weeks of keeping their eyes on each other Aleks finally asks Hannah out, after much prodding and a truth being told by Agnes. Hannah says yes but cannot believe that he would really want to take her on a date. Let's just say that they are both going to need to heal some wounds but they will be able to do this together once they learn to trust again.
Working It Out is the twenty-fifth book in the Zaftig Dating Agency series by Jane Fox. This is another wonderfully charming, fun, sexy and deliciously dirty short story with a great story-line and characters. I loved Hannah and Aleks but it was Agnes that really cracked me up and reminded me of a crazy aunt I had who never tired of experiencing life to its fullest.

i read this book as part of an arc program. This is the 25th book in the Zaftig Dating Agency series. In this book, Mona sets up Aleks, a former olympian and personal trainer with Hannah. Hannah finds a gift certificate to a local gym and thinks her mother sent it her. Hannah is a paralegal and when she decides to use the certificate to get in better shape, she meets Aleks. Aleks sees Hannah and he wants to ask her out, but he never hit on a client before, even though she is training with someone else. When Aleks' client urges him to ask Hannah out, he does and she agrees to meet for drinks. Hannah wonders why Aleks asked her out and doesn't think he is really interested in her, but he is determined to prove how much he wants to be with her. I love this series. I really love the love at first set up book and i think this was another great one. I really liked that Aleks liked Hannah and that she was curvy. I can't wait for the next book.

Aleks is wary of women since his long time ex was caught cheating on him. Hannah is a smart strong woman until it comes to her weight, her mother unknowingly has given her a life long issue with her weight and self esteem. Aleks sister contacts Mona to help him find love. He is a former Olympic gymnast working as a personal trainer at the gym Hannah has been given a gift certificate to. The two circle each other for weeks before Aleks asks her out. They have drinks and then head to a hotel. The end, one year later, felt like a happy for now, would have like to have seen more of a relationship progression than living together with the possibility of an engagement. I liked the Agnes character, she was fun.

Mona does it again! Hannah is a paralegal, and receives a "gift" to a gym. Aleks is a former Olympian and current personal trainer. He came out of a bad relationship a while back, and doesn't date clients, but senses that Hannah is different. I'm sorry that Hannah's mother helped to destroy her self-confidence regarding her weight, even if mom's concerns come from a place of love. Aleks begins to have deep feelings for her, and loves her curvy body. They make a cute couple, and appear to be headed for a happy forever. His client Agnes - that woman is a trip, with some matchmaking abilities of her own! I received an advanced reader copy from the author and am voluntarily leaving my review.

Working It Out is a tricky match for Mona! She is going to have Paralegal Hannah Chase meet Aleks Dmitrovic at the gym where Aleks is a trainer. The trick is going to be getting Hannah to the gym to meet him and not think she needs to change herself! Aleks and a Hannah hit it off even though Hannah can’t be that a hunk like him would be interested in her. Their date is a huge success and by the end the two of them are perfect for each other! Another great one but I can’t wait to read the new series !Matchmakers in Training!

Matchmaker extraordinaire strikes gold again, making a match between a former Olympian and a paralegal. Aleks is professional, down to earth sexy, fun loving, slightly rebellious, and a one woman man. Hannah is somewhat shy, dedicated, spirited, and has a hard time believing that Aleks could be interested in her curvy self. But Mona hasn't made a bad match yet, and Aleks and Hannah are simply the newest couple to benefit from her insight. Lighthearted, heartwarming, fun, and sexy, this story is sure to bring a smile to your face! Happy Reading!

I liked this story a lot. It was short but entertaining and enjoyable. The sneaky matchmaker definitely knows her stuff! The characters were interesting and likable. Agnes is the bombdiggity! She cracked me up so much. Aleks and Hannah are great together. They meet at the gym where Aleks works and over several weeks their attraction grows. When they go out together things escalate quickly. I liked their happy ever after although, I do wish there was an epilogue further out. I recommend reading this book.

Can’t Get Enough
Love, love, love an older male main character, which we have with Aleks, the Trainer at Bronze Gym, who has been set up by his sister, Lina with a matchmaking service, Mona Zaftig Agency. He’s been paired with the younger curvy paralegal, Hannah. I loved the storyline, their romance and their sexual coming together. Keep them moving Jane Fox,another book gem with a HEA.

Fabulous!
I love this series! Hannah is working out at the gym when Aleks comes over and corrects her form. He thinks he shouldn't ask her out, but thankfully he ignores that voice and does ask her out to dinner. The great thing about these books is you don't have to read them in order. P!us, each one is a quick insta-love fix!

Short and sweet and merely brushes over her self esteem issues and body image. Hannah uses the gift certificate her mom gave her for fitness training.
Aleks is much older, fit and into her curves.
And it’s on.
Recommend.
