Summary: A novel or runway announcement?
Review: At least two-thirds of the pages were filled with name-dropping. I mean who needs to know which designer created every single article of clothing the characters wear to set up a storyline? The characters were cliche and one-dimesional, the storyline (in its weak existence) was cliche and it took nearly 200 pages to get the story moving. The climax, though predictable (thanks to the synopsis), was the only save in this book. I guess I was expecting the Deberry/Grant type quality.

Summary: More like "Montezuma's Revenge"
Review: Being seen with this book is as embarrassing as having throw-up stuck to your hair. It's that juvenile. Maybe the target audience is the Britney Spears crowd. You'd have to be that young and impressionable to even consider this tale.
The few attempts the authors made to tell a real story were thwarted by obsessive attention to designer labels while little was devoted to character development and a dramatic apex.
And the revenge? It's as shallow and flat as the women carrying the Prada bags.

Summary: Boring!
Review: Don't rush to buy this book. Borrow it from a friend or check it out at the library if you can because you're going to want to give it back. Both the climax and the resolution occured in the last few chapters. Throughout the story the writers focused too much on the designer clothing of the characters instead of telling the story. I didn't know if I was reading a fashion book or a love story. Revenge only occured in the last couple of chapters. They're going to have to do a lot better if they plan on writing a sequel.

Summary: Revenge Is Best Served Cold
Review: First and foremost I want to thank the authors for portraying the life styles of Professional Black Women as they are, instead of the way that stereotypical books in the past have just to sell books. I loved it! Can't wait to see what happens next with Dakota. I also appreciated the way the authors depicted that we too can have it all. Career and family! It shows how we as a people support each other in good times and bad, and how the corporate world hasn't caused us to lose our humanity. Anyone can be conned. Truly our success as a people, and the enjoyment that we find from that success has been overlooked by paperback. Ladies, I applaud your work, and I'm looking forward to the sequel.

Summary: Revenge is reading this book
Review: I can't say enough about 'Revenge is Best Served Cold'. This book has one of the most juvenile and sophomoric plots I've read in a very long time. The dialogue is choppy and the story jumps from event to event without resolution. The flow is silly. The events are silly. The reactions of the main characters are silly. The book is silly. I haven't read anything with this much unnecessary name dropping in a long time. The only thing in it's favor is the ending, although predicable, it was cute. From a book of 296 pages, two good pages is not enough. Save your time and your money. Reading this book is revenge, hot, cold, or otherwise.

Summary: Novel or Fashion Magazine?
Review: I did not like this book. The story is pointless until the last two chapters. The characters are silly and superficial. The love scenes were very mechanical and I didn't "feel" the love between Morgan and Miles or Dakota and Parker. I thought I was reading a really long fashion magazine. Prada, Gucci, Dolce. Give me a break. I did not care for the characters at all. I love to read because I like to develop a "relationship" with the characters. I really didn't feel sorry for Dakota after she discovered her fiance cheating. I didn't feel for Morgan when she lost her job and discovered Blake's ruse. Come on! The man was supicious from the get go and these "intelligent" women could not see that? I don't believe someone would listen to Blake's lies and continue to be his partner. What really got me was when Morgan found out Blake stole her credit card and she only tells him that he better pay the money that he owes her. Any normal person would have had his behind in jail. Finally she does something about it in Chapter 46 (there are 47 chapters)! I bought this book as part of a set. I'm reading Talk of the Town (I always give new authors a second chance). All in all Revenge will not remain in my collection. I'm on the second chapter in Talk and it looks like this is going back too. Danita and Tracy, focus on character development rather than what designer label they are wearing.

Summary: Puh-lease!!
Review: I found this a terrible read!!! The characters were poorly developed and the plot was absolutely insignificant!! Just pointless name dropping, and worst of all, the plot was hinted at here and there. I felt that it was intriguing to see the niceties of the better half, but that was about the only interesting thing about the book. I was greatly disappointed, even though I bought the book from the local library for only $... I like to read before bed, and this is the perfect anecdote to help me sleep!!! I feel that reading should help people to gain a perspective on some topic, whether it is for entertainment or for purposes of educating themselves. I have not enjoyed wasting my time waiting for something to happen in the story. Why would two educated, professional, "intelligent, and beautiful" women get involved with this man anyway? They didn't get where they are by picking names out of a hat...this book is highly unrealistic, and is just a giant move backward for the sake of African-American women today.

Summary: Revenge is best served cold
Review: I just completed this book last night and hope there is a followup because I loved it! It's about time I read an intriguing story about characters who sound like myself and many of my comtemporaries. I truly hope there is a sequel because the story line left me wanting more. I need to know if Dakota and Parker reconciled, and I love to see a brother and sister keep their marriage going despite a "little drama". This novel will be fun fantasy (and inspiration) for many. For me it was a refreshing realistic view of those who really "got it going on." It is great to finally read about hard working, educated, and cultured African Americans appreciating the finer things life has to offer. Congratulations to two beautiful sisters for creating a fine read. Karen Harper

Summary: Good read
Review: I overall thought this was a good read. I felt close to the characters. With each dilemma it felt like it was my own. This book could have gotten 5 stars but it just took too long to get to the point. The title of the book is basically based on the last couple of chapters. I have to admit though the end did catch me by surprise. I would have never guessed!!!!!!

Summary: Story Served with Empty Climax
Review: I overlook the plastic protrayal of the two female leads in the book; the overuse of brand labels; the irresponsible use of the race card. But what I can't overlook is the lack of revenge. This story is almost totally without a climax. And that left me cold.
