Amber Green takes Manhattan - Rosie Nixon

When her TV producer boyfriend Rob announces that he’s been offered a job in New York, filming with the infamous Angel Wear lingerie models, Amber knows its her perfect chance to take the New York fashion world by storm.

But Amber wasn’t counting on unruly toddler photo shoots, clandestine designer handbag scams and a Hollywood star who is determined to wear as little as possible on the red carpet. Until she meets a disgraced former designer who could turn her career around…or leave it all in tatters.

Fun, adventure, glamour and high-fashion make this is the perfect feel good women’s fiction read.

My thoughts:
This is the second book about Amber Green, and yes I do feel like it could work as a stand alone. You meet Amber and her boyfriend Rob. They met in book 1 where Amber worked for this crazy stylist. And it's time for a new adventure.

Amber is fun, sweet and yes she can get a bit too invested in what she does. She just loves fashion so much. And it does seem like she would be fun to spend time with.

The story is about her going with Rob to Manhattan cos he got a job there for a few months, and who would say no to that! She also sees a chance to start working as a stylist again. And yes she really is the luckiest woman at times, things happen easy and by mistake. But this is a fun light book and things are meant to be like that.

Of course there is some drama with besties, romance and work. We all need a bit of drama to work harder.

Conclusion:
I have missed á fun sort of chic-litish book. It really is the perfect book for summer, and not to mention the beach.

Blog Tour Review: The Stylist - Rosie Nixon


When fashion boutique worker Amber Green is mistakenly offered a job as assistant to infamous, jet-setting 'stylist to the stars' Mona Armstrong, she hits the ground running, helping to style some of Hollywood's hottest (and craziest) starlets. As awards season spins into action Mona is in hot demand and Amber's life turned upside down. Suddenly she catching the attention of two very different suitors, TV producer Rob and Hollywood bad boy rising star Liam. How will Amber keep her head? And what the hell will everyone wear? The Stylist is a fast-paced, fun-packed rummage through the ultimate dressing up box. 

My thoughts:
A chic-lit style of book, I have missed those. The humour, the lightness, all fun you know. I need those kind of books. They make me happy.

To the story!
Amber does have a good eye, but she is not super into everything. I guess she is more the artistic type of person. She does like fashion, and gossip. And I did like her, she was normal.

And who could say no when a famous stylist asks you to help out! Money, glitz, glamour and Hollywood! Nope, even I could not say no, and I know nothing about fashion. Amber at least works in boutique and knows her labels.

The book is divided into 5 big events, Globes, Baftas, Oscars, and well you will see. We get to see how the world of styling is crazy and very stressful. And you certainly do not want your client to end up on the worst dressed list. That would break you. I would so never work in this world, insaaane.

But...Amber's boss is weird and the world might just be too stressful.

As for romance if you are wondering, well, there is not really any romance. I would more call it flirting, hey you meet a cute guy and you flirt. So that is that. She is too busy with anything else. But that is ok, I liked the focus where it was.

A nice book that I could read fast.

Conclusion:
Funny, fashion and fabulous.
