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.

I read all the other books! And this book is the best one. Lucky's life just keep getting more and more intriguing. I just couldn't put it down. I got the book on a Friday and Finished it Saturday Morning. There were parts of the book were I was breathing hard. I cried and I cussed. I am telling you if you are into the Lucky series then run don't walk to the nearest store and pick up this book. Damn it was good.

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.

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.

A typical Jackie Collins book, excellent, great read, and hard to put down. She is one author I wished brought new books out monthly, except those piddly little ones like Murder, Revenge etc, they are a complete waste of time until the omnibus version is out. BRING OUT MORE BOOKS JACKIE

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!!

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!

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.

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......

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.
