Summary: Da Bomb?
Review: No. This book, along with everything else these two have written, SHOULD be bombed. The other reviewers are right;it's a pretentious; no make that EXTREMELY pretentious fashion guide (and overblown, overpriced fashions at that) surrounding one of the lamest excuses for a novel I've ever seen. The characters are pathetic; they're ultimately purely selfish and conceited ("trademark" cat's-eye glasses? PUL-LEEZE) women who'd rather go spend money on clothes than give some to, say, a homeless person or a school. The type who get way too dressed up for almost any occasion; who let their apparel eclipse their personalities, the type who have unrealistic relationships and/or expectations, and who couldn't see a good thing when it's runnning them over like a Mack truck. And they come off as total imbeciles for falling for a scam artist a blind person could see coming six miles away. And, to a dgeree, they're even a bit racist.

And, Tracie, for someone who writes as if she's the last word in tasteful fashion ... nice shoes in the back cover photo. About as tasteful as plastic flamingoes in a trailer park.

Books like these are what's wrong with the literacy rate in this country.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: You'll Never Believe the Ending...
Review: Not only does this book have a catchy title but it has a well written story to go along with it. Tracie & Danita did a wonderful job taking us deep inside the lives of each of the charcaters, while keeping us in suspense until the last page. I had to read the ending TWICE because it was unbelievable!!! I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good book.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Horrible
Review: Pretty crappy book. Too much designer name-dropping for my taste. The writers seemed to happy to make sure they advertised expensive designers than writing an interesting story. Also the storyline was bogus, weak, predictable yet unbelievable. It's hard to believe that two seemingly bright women got duped so easily.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Revenge is best served--By Reading Another Book
Review: Probably like many others before me, when I purchased this book I was impressed with the catchy title and the cover summary. The summary states that both Morgan and Dakota would partner up with Blake, when in actuality it was only Morgan. That slip up doesn't even matter because this book was not about revenge but a who's who in the fashion world. You can read Vogue and get a better story than this. The plot was weak and unbelievable. How could these two characters with corporate positions in New York fall for a hustler like Blake. What kind of business would you open with someone who always snuck to the bathroom when it was time to pay the restaurant bill? I can't believe these supposedly intelligent characters would fall for this scam and for these two authors to try and make readers believe it is just wrong. The authors had so much room for character and plot development but wasted it on telling us exactly what shoes were being worn. The revenge took place in two chapters at the end of the book. This book had the nerve to serve up an epilogue with a twist. I had to laugh because it was so ridiculous. If it took two authors to write this, I would hate to see what one would come up with on her own. Bottom line--save your money and borrow this book from a friend or the library.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent Read
Review: Revenge Is Best Served Cold, is a must read!!! The story moves you along at a fast pace. The characters are interesting and real and the sex scenes are sizzling.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Reads Like A Movie
Review: Revenge Is Best Served Cold, is an exciting story that speaks to the aspirations in all of us. The story is compelling with a surprise ending. The main characters Morgan and Dakota are savvy, sexy and stylish. Watch out Carey and company (Sex in the City) here's your competition and these designer wearing sister's are fierce!!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: slow,good, great
Review: The beginning of the this book i found it diffucult to continue. The beginng was slow with describing their jobs and who they were. I didn't really find it intresting until Morgan and Dakota met Tyrone. From then on this book kept me interested enough to want to finish it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Slow but good
Review: The book starts off kind of slow...I like to jump right into the storyline but this book is slow to do that. It makes you want to jump ahead of the authors..but it ends with fire that is entertaining!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Trickey twist ending
Review: This book is good but it's like a good movie if you miss some scenes you don't get it. The authors of this book leave you in alot of suspense of whats going to happen. This book is very up to date with society life for young black women to be so succesful and well put togther for times like this. I recommend this book to alot of young girls that get discourage and think that they can't be succesful like the women of this book. This also gives me the sense "you can't trust everyone thats looks nice and friendly".

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Disappointed........
Review: This book made no sense at all to me...What woman working at a Fortune 500 company, would start a business, jeopardize her marriage, and spend her own money to start the business with a complete stranger? It was over all a good read, but the plot was unbelieveable...I would read from these authors again though....
