Product Description

Product Description

The Bitch-Proof Suit is a fresh and exciting story with plenty of humor and romance - with all the charm of Dublin and glamor of New York.

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.

This is a sparkling new novel, brimming with romance, humor, friendship, rivalry, Irish cocktails and scandalous behavior.

Note:
The Bitch-Proof Suit did actually exist. The author, De-ann Black, designed and wore it several years ago when living and working in Dublin, and it served its purpose brilliantly.

I love romance novels set in Dublin, and this was every bit as wonderful as I hoped it would be.

The story starts in New York with Bluebell setting off on an exciting assignment to Dublin - and the pace of the novel never lets up. So funny, warm hearted and witty. I loved all the main characters, and I especially liked the friendship that developed between the three women - Bluebell, Verde and their Irish assistant Emer.

Then there are the men - oh yes! Talk about spoiled for choice. I couldn't decide if I preferred the luscious and sexy Dubliner Morgan Daire whose past is linked with Bluebell, or Murphy the hilarious Irish fashion designer. Before I could decide, Sears Pearson, a New York coolhunter, is introduced into the story. Sears (to my mind anyway) is like a young Robert Redford type. I love, love, loved Sears. And then there was the Gorgeous Garda (policeman) who makes a play for Emer. Other minor male characters that really appealed were Harry (Bluebell's friend) and I also found myself liking Randolph, a New York businessman who is a tall, distinguished silver fox.

I don't want to go on about the men (well, obviously I do) but these men were all so different from each other and it was like a breath of fresh air wondering who to root for. I'm still undecided between Morgan Daire and Sears. Tall dark and handsome or tall blond and handsome? Bluebell didn't know who to choose and frankly neither did I. I won't hint or give any spoilers, but I can say that this book was great, and I'm glad to have found a new Irish chick lit/romance author (I'm assuming the author is Irish), and that there's a second book in this series apparently called The Bitch-Proof Bride. Can't wait. I'm in for that one.

I read this book in February when I was in need of something light-hearted and romantic, and it brightened my day enormously. Will be on the lookout for more novels from this author.

I've read a fair few romances in my time and this one stands out from the crowd, not only because of the title (which is what caught my eye) but because the storyline, the characters and what happens to them was really fresh and original. I liked the writing style which was intelligent and sophisticated. I also found it intriguing that the Bitch-Proof Suit actually did exist.

The humour is the best I've read in years - sharp and witty, my type of humour. It's a book I'll read again because the dialogue was brilliant. A surprisingly brilliant book.

entertaining
It was all abit too coincidental & everything was just too right in the end, but an entertaining read none the less

repetitive, predictable
If you love mills and boon formulaic romances you will love this. Repetitive, formulaic, cliched - to sum it up - dull.

Entertaining
Couldn't put it down. Fasion and amazingly good looking men {two well worn cliches} have rarely been better handled.

Where's the romance and comedy?
This was disappointing. I was expecting more comedy and humor but I didn't find any in the novel at all. I definitely wouldn't call it a romantic comedy. Read more

Dont wrap your hopes and dreams and resentments around this man who did you wrong in the past. Get on with what you want to do, what you need to do. And if hes worth it, fate will bring him back like a pin to a magnet. And if not . . . it was never meant to be, and there will be someone else out there for you. &quote;
