I was really surprised to like it as much as I did! The premise sounds ridiculous- a woman finds a perfect "secret" suit that makes her impervious to "bitches"- but really, it worked. I dont know how it did but I liked it! I felt that I enjoyed the main character and was interested in her time in Ireland and her relationship with the guys. True, the writing was not all that great, but I wasn't expecting much for .99 on my Kindle. However by the end, I was hoping there would be a sequal to this book. Nice, quick, entertaining read! ( )

There were quite a few favorable reviews for this book; but it didn't live up to those expectations. No real development in the romance area and hardly humorous (or maybe it's just Irish humor I don't get). Suffice it to say, the writing was very amaturish. I felt like I was reading a high schooler's attempt at a romantic novel. Pretty boring and mindless. No character development what-so-ever. I wouldn't really recommend it. Finished it because I paid .99 to download it to my Kindle. ( )

Blurb
When Blue (Bluebell) Byrne is up against the odds in the world of New York fashion marketing, she needs the ultimate in accessories - a bitch-proof suit. Her marketing experience has helped her create the perfect suit. She had it made by bespoke tailors, cut with twice the precision at half the price. No labels, no trends, just sheer cutting edge class.
The story starts in Manhattan. Blue is about to put her suit to the ultimate test when she vies against a boardroom full of conniving business rivals to win the top job assignment - to work in the company’s office in Dublin, Ireland, and settle a few scores at the same time.
The suit, her negotiating skills and gutsy determination helps Blue win the job. Within hours she sets off for Dublin. It’s the one place she swore she’d never go back to. Six years ago she’d left that city behind, along with Morgan Daire, the man who broke her heart, sure she’d never return. It had almost destroyed her once, but hell...she loves a challenge!
She’ll be working with the unspeakably glamorous and influential Verde Valmont, and Verde’s Irish assistant Emer. Blue will also be facing up to the formidable Dubliner, Morgan Daire, the man whose past is inexorably linked with hers. Then there’s her friend, Dublin designer, Murphy, an incorrigible rogue whose flirting causes jealousy and all sorts of trouble. She also encounters the sexy and handsome Sears Pearson, a New York coolhunter, who takes an interest in her. With Morgan and Sears vying for her attention, and Murphy causing misunderstandings, her love life is anything but smooth.

I read this book in one day. The fast pace of the story drew me in straight away and the wit and humour kept me there. The author writes a modern story about a modern woman, but the old time romance is an underlining thread, which creates a wonderful love story. However, the style of the book, and its edginess gives the traditional a new twist. It’s like a Devil Wears Prada with cocktails!
A winner. ( )
