Summary: Not Her Best
Review: In fact, one of my less favorite of her books, down there with "American Star" and "Rock Star". Especially a drag as a followup to the un-put-downable "Revenge". I figured out who the evil stalker was about 1/3 through, maybe even before that. Very predictable, which is too bad, because one of the things I love most about her writing are the unpredictable twists her stories will take. It seems like her books are either extremely predictable, such as this and that LA miniseries she put out, or absolutely top rate w/twists you absolutely don't see coming. No middle of the road. Unfortunately, this is one of her more dissapointing ones. But even lame Jackie Collins is better than none at all, and the character based on Kevin Costner was rather amusing. My advice? Wait for paperback and buy Dangerous Kiss in hardcover if you want Collins at her sleazy, fun best. This one is blah.

Summary: Typical Jackie Collins - Great Book
Review: It was a typical Jackie Collins book, a little perdictable but a great book. It was a real page turner, I sat up late one night because I couldn't wait to see how it ends. I can't wait for her next book to come out. I understand it's in September, to long as far as I'm concerned.

Summary: Another page turner by Jackie Collins
Review: Jackie Collins has done it again, with another book that can't be put down once you have started to read it. She keeps you guessing almost to the very end, who the mystery man is. After a ways into the book, I figured Lara would end up with Joey in the end, but I didn't want her to until almost the very end, when he told his side of his life, then I wanted them to be together. The ending is very suspensful, with many different storylines all going on at once, which kept me reading until late into the night to finish. When I was finally done, I was ready for another new Jackie Collins book, because I have read them all. This is definitely a must read!

Summary: Horrible...wasted money. Tsk tsk Jackie
Review: Jackie didn't even try!The so-called 'chemistry' between *anyone* was lacking (Especially main characters Lara and Joey) Joey was a stupid, self centred, rude, pathetic and 'usual' square jawed/romance novel 'hero' who thinks he's so hot, and i hated him. Sorry to break it to you jackie, but there's a new breed in town, and it consists of being sweet, funny and at least a guy with a good nature if he's going to go and do all the stuff he did in the book. Lara was a snivelling wuss, all the men and women were boring and flat and the plot has been done to death in some of your stories. I wasted $12 on this book to which i regret. Read her better stuff, like 'hollywood wives'. give this one a skip

Summary: A typical Jackie Collins - great read from start to finish
Review: Just like Ms. Collins' other books - you cannot put this down. Her characters are entertaining, interesting and a great read.Ms. Collins' writes a great trashy novel. Not too much erotica and just enough plot to make it very interesting, but like her other books it is the characters we love.I started it and could not stop until I finished it. A great beach novel.

Summary: Definitely Not a Thrill
Review: Let me start by saying that I am an avid fan of Jackie Collins. But it was very hard to get to the end of this book and when I finally got there, it still left me wanting. All I can say is you can't win 'em all and a winner this is definitely not!There was no plot. I thought the prologue was about Joey but at the end it was Richard. Throughout the book I waited for the dark side of Joey to emerge and what happens? He was locked up for a crime he didn't commit. This book is a suspense builder that doesn't deliver. I'll be waiting for the next one.
Rating: 
Summary: A good read poorly structured.
Review: Like all of her novels, this has all the ingredients of a quick, lust in the dust, read. However, I found the structure disconcerting. I thought the italized entries were of Joey's bio not Richard's and it threw me off. The book should have begun....In reading through the papers of the late, great Richard...etc., she ran across, etc.
Rating:
Summary: Easy reading, entertaining and Exciting
Review: Not one of Jackie Collins best, but a real page turner and easy reading. I liked the way it was two stories in one, that made it very interesting. It could have used more substance, it was a little weak in general, but I would recommend it to my friends.
Rating:
Summary: Brutally bad
Review: Others have already said it better, but good God this book was awful. Predictable plot, stilted conversation, forced attempts to show knowledge of pop culture. What's with the random Demi Moore bashing? I bought it for 50 cents at a garage sale and overpaid. There's 6 hours of my life I'll never get back.
