Dangerous Kiss : A Lucky Santangelo Novel

Rating:
Summary: Excellent novel
Review: As all the Lucky's novels this one is excellent. You won't be able to put down the book until you finish it, JC has the ability to write five different stories in the book, merge all of them at the end of the book and keep you interested in all the stories and willing to read for more.

Summary: Lucky at her best
Review: As always, Jackie Collins has done a great job in writing a fast paced novel. The "Lucky" Books seem to be her best and this is no exception. Great characters all around too. For those who have not read any of her earlier "Lucky" books, fear not. This book has hints of previously introduced characters so you will not feel lost and confused reading about them. You can easily go back to her other "Lucky" books and see what you had missed!

A quick synopsis: Lucky Santangelo, now married to Lennie Golden, writer and director, is now herself working in the movie biz. As she deals with this part of her life, another part starts to fall apart when a family member is gunned down in cold blood and it starts to affect her marraige to Lennie.

The characters in this book are well developed and I find that I care about each one of them. We root for Lucky as she tries to find the killers and as always there is that happy ending! You wont' be disappointed with DANGEROUS KISS.

Summary: 1/2
Review: Before Dangerous Kiss, every Lucky novel was an improvement from the last. That's why I was hoping for this to be the best Lucky novel, and Lucky could end at her best. Unfortunately, this one almost makes Chances look better!

This is "A Lucky Santangelo Novel", yet Lucky only plays a secondary part. Lucky's persona we all knew and loved in her prior adventures is much more passive, which is a major letdown. Another thing that I must say is that most of the characters crossing over from other Lucky novels serve no point in the novel, and you almost want to yell at the book, wondering why they are wasting pages.

Lucky has been a lot of fun, but I think it is time to leave her be, and move on to bigger and better things.

Summary: absolutely marvelous!!!!
Review: Dangerous Kiss is so different from the other Lucky Santangelo novels because it does not feature the Bonnatti family. I really loved that it introduced new characters to the world of Lucky Santangelo and Lennie Golden.

This book is definitely worth five stars because you won't want to put the book down. It will keep you wondering about the fates of Lucky and everyone that she loves!

Summary: OH MAN I CANNOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN!
Review: Jacie Collins' books since the last Lucky novel (which is one of my top 5 favorite books of hers) have not been that impressive. In fact, they have all paled next to "Revenge". I knew this one would kick butt, and it does! I CANNOT put it down, since I started reading it yesterday. It just keeps getting better and better. It's so fun to read about continuing characters like Jack Nicholson and Madon--oops! I mean Charlie Dollar and Venus. (even though I can't stand Madonna, Venus is much more likeable than she is). Now the new characters, such as Naomi Campbell and Tyra Banks-oops, I mean Lina and DiDi are entertaining too (though so far nothing's been able to top the last one where the German Victoria's Secret Model turns out to really be a man!) Jackie Collins always satisfies when she writes about Lucky. I'm in the last 100 pages of this book now and you could not pay me enough to put it down and not find out what happens next. To be continued.

Summary: Jackie, You did it again!
Review: Like all her other books you will NOT be able to put it down. It will fill you full of mixed emotions; happy, sad, mad, scared, and maybe even a bit excited (if you know what I mean).

I can't wait until the next one......

Summary: One of Her Best
Review: Not as good as "Revenge", but very close (and that's saying a lot). The wait for the next Lucky book was worth it! I could NOT put this down.I walked down the street reading it (not very smart) because I had to keep reading! The characters are great, both old and new.Nicholson--uh, Charlie Dollar is up to his old tricks. Lucky is as kick-butt as ever. Collins brings in some very nasty new villians, who I really hated and wanted to see come to horrible ends (especially Carlo, an insane, possesive, abusive evil pr*** who gets Bridgette, Lucky's goddaughter, hooked on heroin to control her) and one of them came to exactly the end I was hoping for (I won't tell you which one). I didn't find Lina all that sympathetic of a character (maybe because I can't stand Naomi Campbell) but she did get more likeable, and she was very entertaining. I probably found Irena, a russian housekeeper with a dark past, the most likeable, and felt the sorriest for her. When you finally find out how her horrible daughter Mila was conceived, it's 100% pure Jackie Collins all the way. The scene is over-the-top, yet still beleivable (and sad).

Here's a little tip for gossip-hounds like me who love to read her Hollywood novels and try to figure out who each character is based on. OK, if you read the tabloids it's pretty obvious sometimes, but sometimes it takes you a little longer. Usually what she'll do is have the character in a room or at a party and the celebrity that Collin's character is based on will walk in. Usually another character will say something like, "Oooo, look! (insert celebrity here) just walked in!" and the character who is based on that celebrity will get irritated. She's gotten a little less subtle about it as the years go by--the characters will have rhyming names with the celebrity they are based on, or very similar ones. Either way, it's a blast.

This is one book thast's worth not waiting for the paperback. Pick it up if you're a fan--you won't be dissapointed.

Summary: Lucky Is At It Again
Review: The Mafia princess is still hiding the brief affair she had (ina a previous novel) from her comedian husband, Lenny, while dealing with the fallout when she decides to step down from being the head of the movie studio she runs. The main story of the book involves the murder of one of Lucky and Lenny's friends during a robbery. Lucky's streak of bad times continue when a secret from her husband's not-too-distant past shows up on her doorstep. Not as much trashy fun as the previous stories in this series, but still good.
