Rating: Summary: Entertaining tale Review: Everything was going perfect for Lucky Santangelo in spite of turning the big 40. However, her run of good luck abruptly ends when a carjacker kills the wife of her half-brother. Being the daughter of a powerful Vegas mobster, no one messes with a member of the Santangelo clan and escapes free because Lucky takes care of her kind and their enemies. Lucky begins to track down the odious killer with special plans to enact revenge. While she is on her quest, other problems arise. Claudia accompanied by a small boy comes from Italy claiming that her child's father is Lucky's husband, a by-product of a one-night stand. Her goddaughter Brigette Stanislopoulos has been raped and fed heroin by her disgusting spouse. As she adds these two situations for super clean up, Lucky must deal with Alex Woods of the DANGEROUS KISS, who wants back into her life. The Lucky Santangelo tales are all entertaining fun and fluff that turn into a fast reading experience. The fifth entry DANGEROUS KISS is fast-paced, filled with humor, sex, and death. Lucky remains an enjoyable lead character and the returning cast members continue to augment the story line. Jackie Collins provides her fans with a pleasurable tale and anyone who scorns this novel without reading it will miss a fun time.
Rating: Summary: entertaining but too predictable read Review: I was bored with the first 40 pages as it recounted the history of each character - if you have read the other four books you don't need all this information. I have loved the other 'Lucky' books but found this one very predicable and unbelievable - too much like the last book with Lucky and Lennie having their 'marital difficulties'. Jackie Collins should put Lucky to rest and write about a whole new set of characters - there is only so much that can happen to one woman and it has all happened to Lucky already!
Rating: Summary: Attention Jackie Collins Fans Review: I would like you all to know that Jackie will be planning to release in the future. She is in the process of writin Lethal Seduction a follow up novel to the L.A. Connections series. After that, she will write Hollywood Wives: the New Breed.
Rating: Summary: Really excellent Review: This is true Jackie Collins style,it is an excellent book and i look forward to her next one,as i always do.
Rating: Summary: Her Best Ever! Wish it never ended! Review: All I can say is, there better be a sequel! This has to be the best she's ever written and I was riveted, reading this through within 24 hours! This was her 1st novel that truly impressed me. I have been reading her boks for years, can't resist. Her style has definitely improved over time.
Rating: Summary: True Jackie Collins style - outstanding! Review: I felt the book was an evolution of Jackie and Lucky. Jackie has done a masterful job of showing her fans how Lucky has grown up and dealt with the glitz as well as human issues which helps us realize that people in entertainment industry have real life issues and problems too! Thanks Jackie, you did it again!
Rating: Summary: Lucky's life gets more interesting... Review: I have just finished Jackie Collins' new novel "Dangerous Kiss". I am an avid Jackie Collins fan and I have read all her works. In particular, the Santangelos have been my favourites. This book is not as good as the earlier novels, but carries on Lucky's very interesting life well. There are twists that you may not expect, but are inevitable... My only criticism of Ms Collins would be that she should get these books checked for mistakes more thoroughly.. and I do not mean spelling mistakes - I have read the Santangelo novels at least 10 times each and there are many mistakes such as ages, things that have supposed to have happened in earlier books that have not actually happened etc. I still enjoy these books immensely - but I think that Ms Collins' publishers would have picked these little mistakes up.. All in all the book is great.. very Jackie Collins and still "unputdownable"!!
Rating: Summary: WORTH A SECOND READ Review: Jackie is the only novelist i read. She is the best at her craft and i hope she continues to thrill us all with her writing!!!!!!!
Rating: Summary: Dangerous Kiss keeps the reader's interest on high frequency Review: Jackie Collins writes in a manner that captures her reader's interest and keeps it on high frequency at all times. Few authors ever develop this marvelous quality. In fact, the only other book I have read recently that has this same captivating tempo is Aaron McCallum Becker's new thriller, "Whose Death in the Tunnel?" I couldn't put down either book.
Rating: Summary: Jackie does it again!!! Review: I throughly enjoyed this lastest book of Jackie's. I think Jackie and her writing is phenomenal. For relaxation and easy reading, Jackie is the author to turn to. I am looking forward to her next novel and hope it's in the very near future.
