1.0 out of 5 stars Tracie and Danita does it again?, March 21, 2005
By 
This review is from: Talk of the Town (Paperback)
They sure do!!!!! They throw a novel together outlining everything BUT a good story. Once again, these authors make every designer in the fashion industry RICH, RICH, RICH! I hope all the designers you mention are kicking you two ladies down because that's all you seem to know how to write about. You would think you would learn from the reviews of Revenge Best Served Cold. STOP TALKING ABOUT GUCCI AND TELL US A STORY. and by the way Tracie, I have on a pair of Payless shoes! How about that, Ms. Howard?
As you Amazonee's can see, I'm so disappointed with this novel, and would only recommend it if you care about nothing but fashion! Take it from me. Save your money. Talk of the Town lacks everything from a plot to character development, and instead focuses on what the characters were wearing. Just like Revenge Best Served cold, Talk of the Town should also be served cold.

2.0 out of 5 stars review from a have not., April 4, 2003

Book Lover (college park, ga United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Talk of the Town (Paperback)
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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Typical, September 8, 2004
This review is from: Talk of the Town (Paperback)
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.

Sure, a Saturday spent shopping the designer outlets in Woodbury Commons with Dakota was one of Morgan's favorite weekend activities, but a Sunday antiquing in Connecticut with her husband was a very close second. Read the first page
