Heads always turned when Rose McCarthy walked into a room. Nearly six feet tall, she was ramrod straight, and impeccably put together with faultless style, long graceful legs, her snow-white hair cut in a chin-length rounded cap. Her piercing blue eyes missed nothing. She could terrify anyone with a few well-chosen, soft-spoken, eloquent words, or comfort and delight a young employee with generous praise. For 25 years, she had been the legendary editor in chief of Mode magazine.

A unique story
it is a good and interesting book. However at times the story seems to take overly dramatic turns unnecessarily. the main character develops beautifully, however, her thoughts and emotions can be a bit artificial, specially as she was "falling in love".

Interesting plot but all tell, no show
Danielle Steel is such a big name in the historical romance genre, I thought this would be an easy one to enjoy. Not quite so. I found it difficult to continue with it because it was all tell, little description. I did not feel immersed at all. I felt like I was being told a story, rather than living it alongside the characters. The plot was clever and it was a great story in terms of that. The narrator, Gideon Emery, suited the story, his voice flowed, it was well read and characters were brought to life as best as the writing allowed.
