- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5GIRL IN A VINTAGE DRESS is a sweet romance between an unlikely pair: an old fashioned girl into vintage clothes and retro living and a sleek, career-obsessed modern businessman. I was intrigued by the blurb because I love the 50s pin-up girl look, and how cool would it be to own a shop dedicated to all things retro?
After a difficult childhood of playing second fiddle to her perfect supermodel sister, Lola moves to Melbourne and opens Go Retro, a store dedicated to her passion for vintage clothes and accessories. One day an unlikely customer comes into her store - savvy billionaire businessman Chase Etheridge. Chase wants to hire Lola to host a week long retro-themed hens party (which I did not know was the Australian term for bachelorette party!) for his sister at his mansion.
Right away Chase and Lola butt heads over modern versus old fashioned ways and who's in charge, but they can't deny that opposites attract. As they get to know each other over the week of the party, they see in each other something missing from their own lives. Chase carries a lot of emotional baggage from his childhood as well, making it difficult to let anyone into his life. Somehow this curvy pin-up girl has broken through his defenses, and now he has to find a way to win her heart.
GIRL IN A VINTAGE DRESS was an enjoyable read. What stood out to me the most was the emotional depth of the characters. I felt like I really got to know them, and shared their ups and downs too. I'd recommend this book to fans of sweet contemporary romances that are more flirty than steamy. I give it 4 stars! - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5GIRL IN A VINTAGE DRESS is the latest presentation by author Nicola Marsh for Harlequin Romance series.Lola Lambert grew up in a household of fashionable women. Her supermodel sister and their fashion conscious mother tried their best to get Lola to be a picture of themselves. But Lola was content to be the ugly duckling of the family. Her opinions didn’t matter, what she liked didn’t matter so she just went along with everything rather than make waves.Then she moved to a new city and reinvented herself. She opened up her dream shop of vintage clothes and accessories. Busy with her business and her new life she had no time for love or romance. In walked Chase Etheridge, a modern business man, who couldn’t be parted with his Smartphone for even a second, and who ran his business with all the modern gadgets! Chase wanted to organize a hen’s night party for his sister. How Lola takes away Chase’s phone to enforce the rules of her shop and how Chase convinces Lola to take on the job of organizing a vintage themed hen’s party for one whole week is full of entertaining moments. Though modern, Chase feels the attraction between this lover of all things vintage, Lola and himself. They are polar opposites. Yet the chemistry between them just can’t be denied. During the week of the party, Chase finds himself drawn back to his fabulous mansion to check on the chicks, as he keeps telling himself. Whereas he used to keep away from his house and it’s representation of a happy family. He has grown up without a happy family. But meeting Lola, he dreams of creating his own happy family.GIRL IN A VINTAGE DRESS is a wonderfully tender romance that I found charming, absorbing and moving. Nicola Marsh is a terrific writer who creates likeable characters readers are sure to take to their hearts. I found Lola to be a realistic, flawed yet resilient heroine who seriously lacks self confidence and is constantly under-selling herself and Chase was a strong, charismatic and turned out to be a sensitive hero, I absolutely adored. Even the secondary characters, the four B’s are to be loved. I liked author Nicola Marsh’s style. It seemed like she is writing about real people in situations that could happen. Scenarios come alive as do the people with her use of witty dialogue and situation that helps us know them better. GIRL IN A VINTAGE DRESS is well worth reading!
