Summary: Even revenge comes with a price tag!
Review: I read Revenge Is Best Served Cold last year and thought this debut novel by Tracie Howard and Danita Carter was an entertaining read. Although, I found it a bit hard to believe that these saavy business women/fashion divas would allow themselves to be sucked into the tales of a shady and flamboyant man who pretends to be from a wealthy family, I enjoyed the book nonetheless. The ending had a very nice twist to it.If you're a socialite or a lover of high-end fashion, you'll appreciate the trendy spots and designer wears. . . if not, you might find yourself turning your lips up. As I see some readers/reviewers have. Tracie Howard and Danita Carter, keep the pen flowing!

Summary: Two minds are a terrible thing to waste...
Review: I really felt that I wasted time reading this book, however, it did put me to sleep(literally). There was just too much name dropping whether in regard to restaurants, clothing or other items. Why did it take 200 plus pages for the plot to reveal itself. I am looking for sheer entertainment. I want to read a book whereas I can pick up ten years from now and enjoy it again. This book will end up in the trash. If I could have given it half of a star I would have. I hope their second proves to be much better. One thing is certain, "Two minds are a terrible thing to waste."

Summary: THIS BOOK IS THE BOMB!!!
Review: I thought that this was one of the best books that I had ever read. It is very captivating and at many times, I wanted to "jump" into the book and handle some situations myself. I recommend this book to all the sisters out there working in the corporate world and have to put up with ... on your jobs all day long, folks getting on your nerves, being passed up for poromotions, people getting in your business and etc. Yall know what I mean! GET THE BOOK!

Summary: Gucci, Prada, Jil Sander, Cartier...give me a break!
Review: I was truly disappointed to have spent [$$$] of my hard-earned money on this book. I am a well read, highly educated attorney, and I have NEVER read such a one-dimensional book in my life - and I have been an avid reader since I can remember. The storyline has potential, but the authors seem hell-bent on portraying these young, African-American "professional women" as shallow, materialistic, status-worshipping, and just plain "silly." The actions of these women seem completely out of character for the intelligent people the authors would have you believe they are. What a shame. Save your money. According to the authors, you're probably one of the "have nots" and can't afford the [$$$]price anyway...and that's if you purchase the paperback - which Dakota and Morgan would NEVER do, I'm sure!

Summary: Giving it the benefit of the doubt
Review: I'll give it 3 stars to be nice. This is their first book, they have alot of work to do. I normally can visilize the characters that I'm reading, in this case I couldn't. They had a good concept, but just didn't know how to make it a successful book. I just want to know why did we have to wait so long for the climax, the revenge and the resolution. They had a good idea but didn't know exactly what to do with it. Maybe they need one of those books like "Writing techniques for Dummies". I think they will do better on their next one.

Summary: Revenge Is Best Served Cold
Review: I've never submitted a review to Amazon before but I just read "Revenge Is Best Served Cold" and loved it so much that I thought others should know! "Revenge" was a highly entertaining book with not one but two compelling main characters (Morgan and Dakota) and a cunning foe (Blake St. James) whose sole mission is to charm and disarm---while he's quietly plotting their demise .In the process,he turns their lives upside down but not before they exact their 'revenge'. I won't give away the plot but trust me,they've got to use all of their feminine wiles to put Mr St. James in check. If you're running the rat race (like me!) there are plenty of references to the good life that Morgan and Dakota have worked so hard to achieve--fancy restaurants,fly cars and the finest of clothes---and I'm not mad at them! I would expect no less from two successful professional women running the fast track in New York City circa 2000.If you're the romantic type, (like my wife) the portrayal of the relationships between the main characters and their mates are realistic and very well done. Even though I'm not from New York the vivid descriptions from chapter to chapter made me feel like I was part of their posse.There was just enough suspense,action and sex (the sex scenes are HOT!....and I do mean HOT!) to allow me to breeze through "Revenge" in no time (took me two days.....).My wife started reading "Revenge" last night and she can't put it down. If you're looking for an escape from the tension of today's world events,I would highly recommend that you RUN (don't walk....) to your nearest bookseller and pick up "Revenge" right away!You won't be disappointed!

Summary: I would not recommend this book
Review: It's hard for me to believe that 2 minds would come up with such a shallow book. Dakota's & Parker's relationship had no real purpose in the book. I really saw no purpose for Nana & Tricia. Blake/Tyrone story was confusing to read. The plot was very weak and they missed on the twist. There was too much name dropping, referring to the designer names meant nothing to me. This was one of the hardest books for me to read.

Summary: Better Late Than Never!!!!
Review: Know that I'm late in picking this up but I loved Tracie's book,"Why Sleeping Dogs Lie" so much I decided to buy this too.It started more slowly than "Sleeping Dogs" but the twists and turns were fun and once it got going I absolutely could not put it down! I read some reviews below that made note of the designer references in the book but they really didn't bother me a bit....after all, the characters are rollin' big time in the Big Apple---how else you gonna do it, if not top shelf?!Stay strong sistas and I made a note to be first in line when your followup, "Success Is The Best Revenge" hits the stores in April!
