review 1: This series has potential, and I hope it gets better.The book is about a sales associate and fashion consultant Rita that is trying to help her boss, Dolce, clear her name in a murder. The murder appears to be over a pair of shoes that Dolce sold to one of her clients MarySue. MarySue wanted the shoes, and didn't pay for them in full, which is why Dolce was named a suspect. When the sexy cop (Jack) comes in, Rita decides to help him solve the murder case, even though it's causing her all sorts of pain. A sprained ankle, a concussion, and threats to her life.What I didn't like the book was the amount of rambling Rita did to herself. Her thought processes were too long and didn't need to be there. I rated it low since I had to sift through the rambling. It got to a point whe... morere you knew the rambles were coming and could skim over the entire paragraph. The rambles were about the clothes somebody was wearing, what she wanted to wear, or how she didn't like something. It was unnecessarily long and happened too frequently.
review 2: Meh. Good characters, although the detective character seemed all over the place. Weak plot - the impetus for the murder seemed awfully weak to me. Too many instances where I felt the author was trying to sell me clothing, although I don't mind a bit of fashion speak (the Crimes of Fashion series being one of my favourites). Still there were enough likeable things about this book that I'll read the second one and decide from there whether to continue with the series or not. less
