The God of Good Looks - Paperback Edition - Breanne Mc Ivor

Getting a second chance is a beautiful thing…

Bianca Bridge’s personal and professional lives are in tatters. She has lost her beloved mother and has only a distant relationship with her self-made father. And now, she’s been outed as the mistress of a government minister – ending her journalism career before it had even started.

All but unemployable, she is astonished when tyrannical make-up artist Obadiah Cortland, Trinidad’s legendary ‘God of Good Looks’, hires her as his new assistant.

At first, Bianca can’t stand her fierce new boss – and he lets her know the feeling is mutual. But when her ex threatens both their futures and working together becomes their last resort, she begins to glimpse another Obadiah beneath the façade he’s so carefully cultivated.

Some Reviews

Full of characters whose struggles you feel to your bones - and will be rooting for all the way through. Bianca might just be one of my all-time favourite heroines. Fresh, smart, and packed with razor-sharp social commentary-a perfect blend of page-turning and thought-provoking. Caroline Mackenzie, author of One Year of Ugly

A will-they-won't-they tension ensues as Mc Ivor uses the metaphor of make-up (there's an awful lot of it) to examine privilege, corruption and truth. It's wickedly funny ... Bianca is a hugely endearing heroine. Daily Mail

Bianca Bridge is a heroine to root for ... A punchy romance with plenty to say about Caribbean class, poverty and sexism. Observer

A glittering will-they, won't-they Bridget Jones re-boot. Nikki May, author of Wahala

I loved it. India Knight, Sunday Times Style
