Jackie Collins gives us a passionate taste of fictional fun in “Dangerous Kiss”, her fifth in the Lucky Santangelo series.

We are launched into “Dangerous Kiss” with the Collins’ high standard of fast-paced, sexy, brutally honest and up-close-and-personal viewpoint of raunchy plot, multi-dimensional and may wide and varied, witty characters, raw, human emotions and life threatening scenarios.

At the age of 40 years, Lucky Santangelo has more luck and power than most, and she fully realizes this. Making an earth-shattering decision pertaining to her career is the catalyst that tilts her world on its axis – the major jolt sparked by a carjacking that kills Mary Lou, the wife of her half-brother.

As a reader of any Lucky series, you come to expect fabulously realistic characters like Alex Woods, Venus Maria, Lennie Golden and Charlie Dollar. With names like those, how can you lose? The gravitational pull that threads these characters together is the pulses of lust, passion, anger and revenge, with Lucky being at its epicenter.

“Dangerous Kiss” will not let you down in the mobster revenge stakes. Lucky, pre-occupied with this quest to find the murderer of Mary Lou, is soon alerted to life kicking you when you are down. Caught in the fight is her beautiful goddaughter Brigette Stanislopoulos, a model with bad luck in the relationship department who has been date raped and then fed heroin when she tries to seek her own revenge in the style of her godmother. Oh, if that wasn’t enough, at a family party, Lucky is introduced to her husband, Lenny’s son – a child born of the woman who saved his life in Lucky’s Revenge. That should settle it for you, any more and I’ll ruin the dynamic plotful secrets.

Collins dishes us pages of entertainment, star-studded with glitz, glamour and set in the realm of Hollywood - with not a single piece of unnecessary literary fluff.
