This story is a little more sentimental than what the author usually writes. Finn and Chloe are not looking for love when they meet. They start out as colleagues and friends and get to know each other very well before they cross the line to lovers. After being through a horrible and public break-up Finn was looking for a different kind of relationship. Chloe was also looking for something different. This was advice given to Chloe which was what they both ended up doing. “If you find something that you love, you grab it and hold onto it. You don’t go around comparing it to what other people have. Those kinds of comparisons can only lead to trouble.”
First time reading a Charlotte Byrd book. Totally enjoyed Dressing Mr. Dalton. This was a charming story of a girl who lands her dream job as a Wardrobe Stylist on a movie set and the male lead of the movie who falls in love with her. The book is wonderfully written with plenty of drama, steamy scenes, romance, humor, suspense and fun to keep you turning page after page. I found all the characters to be completely engaging and entertaining, always peaking my interest to know more. Dressing Mr. Dalton was an easy, relaxing, enjoyable book, the perfect read for a snowy weekend or a warm day at the beach. Buy it. I hope you like it. I did!
Loved this story about Chloe and Finn. Chloe catches the eye of Hollywood actor Finn. What happens and where it goes is anyone’s guess. A cute, quick, well written story that I really enjoyed reading.
Delightful, insightful and deceptively mesmerizing, this novella is a total MUST-BUY!

What a sweet fun book. Very entertaining, easy to read book. Two main characters and the chapters switch back and forth between each person perspective. You really get to know the characters and enjoy reading about them – several times things happened to Chloe and I thought – that’s me!! Fun, Fun book – you’ll enjoy this one!
This is the story of Chloe and Finn. Chloe is a just-starting-out in the movie industry wardrobe stylist and Finn is a huge, mega-star actor. They meet when Finn takes a role on a small, independent film that Chloe is the wardrobe stylist on. The meet on the set on the first day of filming and things do not go well. Despite this – they are both intrigued with each other and their attraction and interest in each other increases the more time they spend together. From the book description, I was not expecting to like Finn but it was exactly the opposite – Finn was very likeable and Chloe was a bit of a flake. Finn is coming off a bad and public breakup and Chloe has not been in a relationship in quite some time and neither is looking to start a new relationship. As the story progresses, their attraction and relationship changes and grows and then something happens (no spoilers!) where Chloe learns Finn lied to her and she ends things with him. He tries to get her back but she refuses to speak to him.
And then another twist/tragedy in the story happens (again, no spoilers!) and they are thrown together again. Chloe eventually learns how much Finn does care for her and Finn finally admits to himself exactly how he feels about her.
It’s a fantastic love story that has you rooting for these two to find their happily-ever-after. Can they both get bad relationships in the past and learn to love and trust each other? Once you start this story, you will not want to put it down – it’s a fun read with great characters and you will not be disappointed.
This book is an absolute gem! This was an amazing and beautiful love story that was so well done; it held my attention and was entertaining, but also was heartwarming and emotional. This book is an engaging story with lots of passion that will keep you captivated and glued to the pages of this fascinating storyline with well developed characters. Finn Dalton is an actor who is wealthy, handsome and so freaking sexy and HOT!! He is definitely an alpha male who is arrogant, cocky, self-centered and carries the persona of being a ladies’ man. Chloe Nichols is feisty, sassy and finally gets the type of job she loves. When Finn meets Chloe, he likes the feisty, sassy, and obstinate beautiful woman. Read Chloe and Finn’s journey—it is one hell of a rollercoaster ride! You will love this romantic story where two people find happiness in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. What happens when you fall in love with the one guy that is all wrong for you and you hate him? This story was everything I hoped it would be—emotional, angsty, and beguiling from the beginning until the end. There are several twists and turns within the story that makes it interesting. The scenes are well written, fast-paced and a beautifully written love story with intrigue, suspense, passion, and witty dialogue. The strong charismatic characters draw readers in and refuse to let go. The book will pique your interest and draw you in from the beginning to the very end.
I really enjoyed this romance. It offers a well written story with a well balanced blend of emotion, fun and steam. This book focuses on the inspired pairing of Chloe and Finn. On paper these two should not work… and yet they do. There is cuteness and sweetness but also a heavy dose of reality. I loved these two together! They have lots standing in the way of a HEA though as Finn’s painful history and Chloe’s many lies create stumbling blocks for the couple. Drama, a few twists, powerful emotions, intense chemistry and some heat are combined into a truly terrific opposites attract romance.
Not as heavy as a normal Charlotte Byrd story, this is a steamy hot, romantic love story with some twists and turns, but most of all likable albeit unlikely characters with super wonderful chemistry. The true opposites attract story, well told, worth the read, and will completely keep you up past your bedtime because you just won’t want to put it down!
Dressing Mr. Dalton was a great, well-written, romantic love story w/drama and off the charts chemistry between Finn and Chloe. Couldn’t put it down. Enjoyed it.
Interesting read from a learning perspective for this reader. The detailed description of duties of a “dresser” for a movie is fascinating. This reader really liked the line the main female character said, “I need to get myself a filter, ASAP.”. This statement really resonates with this reader; “hoof in mouth” disease must really be going around.
An all around good read: good story, good characters and good romance! A totally entertaining romantic read.
I voluntarily received an advance review copy of this novel and I am leaving an honest and unbiased review. I have no affiliation to this author.
An amazing well written love story were you just know Chloe and Finn are just meant to be. The storyline was addictive and flowed smoothly in this romantic love story with a few twists, turns, a little drama, lots of love, sizzling chemistry, and some steamy stuff. A must read lighter side to this author normal writing.
This book by Charlotte Byrd was very different from her Black Edge series. It was light hearted, flirty, and fun! Finn is a big time movie star who makes a low budget Indie movie and falls for Chloe, the Wardrobe Manager. There are some mishaps with their first date, set up by matchmaker Dolly. This ends up with reveals of lies and even with the ever present chemistry, the fledgling relationship appears to be doomed. But there are more shocks to come and keep you on your toes. This was a fast paced story that never dragged and I would totally recommend it! I read it in one afternoon and was glad to see the HEA.
