Summary: If I knew then what I know now ...
Review: I was originally planning to buy this book, but the price stopped me. Now, I can see Amazon has cut their prices for this latest work by Jackie C., and I don't blame them! In a word, it was "nyeeeeh ..."Don't get me wrong; Lucky is the woman! But, I believe Jackie was trying a bit too hard with this one. You know, the perpetual cute-as-buttons-but-take-no-prisoners children; the last-minute malcontent, malevolent thugs that buy the farm in the end; the usual European creep-on-an-ego-trip-but-too-insecure-to-speak-his-actual-plans-of-thievery to a wealthy heiress (I'm referring to Count Carlo Viterri Vitti); the consistant, loyal, pining away in the wings housekeeper with the neverending devastating secret to tell her employer as far as her illegitimate kid is concerned; the press; the stars; the glitz; and the models. It's all the same throughout all her recent works. Overall, this was a pale version of Lady Boss, Thrill!, and Revenge: Lucky's Vendetta. Lucky showed she held her own in all situations, and I liked the personal side of her illustrated in this novel this time. But I got the sense that there isn't any more she can write about about Lucky without getting in a stereotypical rut with the Santangelo lady with cojones like galvanized iron. And I was glad that the cursing and sex wasn't as rampant as it was in her previous novels; I appreciated that a lot. I am looking forward to Lethal Seduction. Should Ms. Collins happen to read these Amazon reviews, I hope she takes this suggestion: As creative with words as you are, you can write a novel in ways that don't have to utilize very graphic descriptions of sex or use of the f, gd, a-hole, s or mf words. (Hey! Prudes like me like quality reading, too!) This wasn't her best work, and I'm glad I waited for the book to be available in the library. If I'd bought it, I'd've been a very unhappy camper indeed!

Summary: Jackie Collins does it again!!
Review: Like all of Jackie Collins material, this one lived up to my expectations! I was sad to see it end. I look forward to the next chapter in the Lucky Santangelo/Lennie Golden love affair. And, the story line about Bridgette had me at the edge of my seat. Well worth the time!

Summary: Not her best
Review: I could hardly wait for this book to come out,but after reading it I feel I should have gone to the library and got it instead of spending the money. Too much hype for not a really great story.It was so predictable we all knew were the author was going. I love all her books but I was disapointed in this one.

Summary: Entertaining, but not her best!
Review: This book lacked heart. There were too many things going on throughout the entire story. Collins jumped ahead by months leaving you to wonder and wanting to see how things evolved. Because most of the characters were well defined in earlier books you had a great understanding of their personalities, but the new characters were vague and I missed getting into the old characters. I am a huge Lucky and Gino fan and missed not seeing their usual antics. Lucky fans will enjoy this book (of course) but the heart and that feeling of not being able to put it down will be lost. Hopefully the next book will concentrate on smaller, more intimate story lines about the Santangelo family.

Summary: Abfab!
Review: DANGEROUS KISS will not dissapoint! Lucky Santangelo is my all-time favorite heroine and I was a little worried because VENDETTA wasn't that great. However, Jackie Collins redeemed herself with this latest installment. I waited over a year for this book to come out and it lived up to my expectations. Please Ms. Collins, don't let this be the last Lucky book!

Summary: Excellent
Review: This one took me less than two days to read. I loved it. Totally Jackie Collins. The worst is having to wait for another from her. A great book. Lucky is the best, the new characters allow for more books about her. I can't wait!!!

Summary: an entertaining read!
Review: I have always enjoyed Jackie Collins's novels....and this one didn't disappoint! A fast, fun romp of a book, it is the continuing saga of Lucky Santangelo and her family. Lucky is one tough broad (in her father, Gino's words) who protects her family and friends. When her brother's wife is senselessly murdered, Lucky does what she can to help the police. When her goddaughter Bridget is in danger, Lucky springs into action. And of course when the life of the man she loves is hanging in the balance, Lucky shows extreme bravery. She is a fascinating and complex heroine who I enjoy reading about. If youre looking for pure escapism in a novel, this one is for you! P.S. when reading, you can play match the character to the real-life celebrity!

Summary: If I could give it 10 stars I would
Review: Jackie Collins does it again! I just finished reading this book yesterday.I've read all Jackie's books and the ones about Lucky are always the BEST. Gino (Lucky's Father) is still alive and going strong at 87. I like the way she gives you little hints thruout the book to remind you of past characters that delt with previous Lucky books. I know she bases her characters on real Hollywood people as a few readers of this book have mentioned. Venus as Madonna, Lina as Naomi Campbell? Anything is possible. I guess I never took the time to figure out exactly who it was she was writing about.Too busy digesting every word. Jackie could go so much farther writing about Lucky. Bobby (her son with second husband Dimitri is 15 now) and Gino and Maria, (named after her parents) children with her present husband #3 Lenny. A new generation of Santangelo's to write about. Gino and Maria as teenagers would be wonderful. Does anyone know anything about the next book - Lethal Seduction? Does Jackie have a fan club? My only complaint is having to wait so long for the next Jackie book to come out. If your a Jackie Collins fan, don't wait for the paperback to come out - get this book TODAY!!
