Talk of the Town

Rating:
Summary: Trendy
Review: After reading the review for the first novel, "Revenge is Best Served Cold," I felt that this novel was the same type of hype. As the critic's wrote, the book is superificial and mainly talks about trendy and very "she-she" New York hot spots. I wasn't impressed with the plot or character development. The authors were name-dropping the entire time.

Summary: Talk of The Town and more
Review: From the first chapter I was hooked. Characters that walked right off the page. I wished Miles had listened to his best friend. Vic and Tricia didn't get what they deserved. An engrossing read from page one to end. I highly reccomend this book.

Summary: READY FOR THIS
Review: Great book with an entertaining plot and great characters. Read this on the recommendation of a friend.(Also read "Why Sleeping Dogs Lie" by Tracie and loved it). Normally rely on my instincts--been burned by advice on which books to buy before. Glad that I listened in this case. Can't wait for a followup

Summary: review from a have not.
Review: I did not enjoy Revenge, but I like to give first time authors a second chance. Tracie and Danita did OK the second time around. I still can't find a connection with these characters. Thankfully, Gucci and Prada were not in every other sentence this time around. Dakota and Morgan are not doing it for me. We are led to believe that these women are focused, intelligent women. I could not believe some of the business decisions Morgan made. You would think she would be more careful after what she went through with the faux Blake, but she wasn't. Dakota was not any better. She actually believed the "I'm sick" line from an old schoolmate she was "dating". I found it kind of strange that these characters can afford these expensive clothes, but couldn't afford to bail themselves out of financial trouble. Are they spending all of their money on clothes and cars? The authors did a little better this time, but I still felt a little put off. Morgan felt that because she was pregnant it was no "excuse" to pack on pounds. I gave birth a few months ago to my second child. I didn't set out to gain 40lbs but it happened. Morgan and Dakota talking about Morgan's assitant (Lisa) and her Payless (God forbid) shoes. What really got me was Morgan feeling sorry for Lisa's son because he was being relegated to the "have not" category so early in his young life. Puh-lease! I really didn't "feel" the love between Morgan and Miles. I had the same problem with the first book. The love scenes did nothing for me. They were kind of juvenile and silly. I really don't see these women as the authors want to portray them. I want to like the characters. The elitest attitudes need to be toned down in order for me to care about what happens to these women. I don't know if I'll read the next installment. If I do, I'll go to the library for that one. This have not doesn't want to spend her money on another book by these authors.

Summary: Gucci, Glitz and a Good Man
Review: I love the way the authors depict the loving, if not complicated,relationship between the glamourous couple,Miles and Morgan. I get sick of books that 'Man Bash' and though Miles had a temptation by a vampish co-worker, he stayed strong, and Morgan stayed behind her man; the vows do say for better, or worse. In general things can't get much better for this couple, they have great friends, great jobs and a great relationship; just a little drama everynow and then to spice things up. Thanks girls for painting a realistic and optimistic view of AA relationships, because not all brothers are four-legged.

Rating:
Summary: completely illogical
Review: I picked this up hoping it would be like a Jackie Collins novel. But I was wrong. The major crises in this novel is completely ridiculous considering the lifestyles the characters are supposed to be living. The book spent a little too much time discussing shoes, clothes and cars...and not enough time telling you that even if you have "expensive stuff" you should still have ample savings. Skip it you aren't missing anything.

Rating:
Summary: Not good.
Review: I read some of the critiques of the first novel by these authors and wisely avoided that book. When I saw this book in the library, it sounded interesting and I thought that I would give it a try. I'm sorry, but I couldn't get past the second chapter. I was turned off immediately with the descriptions of what the characters were wearing, what they were driving, and where they were eating. Maybe the authors would be better served writing for the Saxs Fifth Avenue catalog. Read this book only if you care about what the "haves" are doing.
