Lucky Santangelo is a woman not to reckon with, and she is back in yet again, another blockbuster from superstar author Jackie Collins. This time, after loosing her husband and her studio, Lucky sets out to rebuilt her life and regain her statut as «Lady Boss».

Bringing back characters from her previous novels, and introducing us to new ones, Collins not only succeeds in penning another blockbuster, but also re-establishes herself as the queen of popular fiction. VENDETTA : Lucky's Revenge is Collins at her best. Well crafted, suspensful, steamy, it keeps the reader glued to the pages and makes you wish Collins would write a fifth book about the Santangelo clan, which, by the way, is exactly what she's doing.

This fourth installment to the insanely juicy Lucky Santangelo series is probably my favorite of all.

In Vendetta, Lucky winds up in the most precarious circumstance she's ever come across when her treasured Panther Studios is stolen right up under her by Donna Landsmen ... the corrupt and evil widow of Lucky's old nemesis, Santino Bonnatti.

Although Donna knows what a lying filthy snake she had in her husband, she still has not forgotten the fact that Lucky took away his life and left her children fatherless... So she has every intention demolishing Lucky in everyway imaginable. What Donna doesn't know, is that Lucky is commanding, street-smart and just as hazardous .... maybe even more so. In the end we'll see who has to fear who.

'VENDETTA' is the fourth book in Jackie Collins wildly successful Santangelo series and once again Collins did not disappoint. In 'VENDETTA' Lucky finds herself once again the target of the Bonnatti families revenge, This time it is Donnatella Bonnatti, the widow of Santino Bonnatti, who seeks revenge on Lucky for the death of her husband for which she feels Lucky is responsible. Donnatella Bonnatti, with the help of many plastic surgeons and a language coach to help rid her of her heavy Italian accent, has now transformed herself into Donna Landsman an extremely successful business woman who has her sights set on taking over Lucky's Panther Studios. Lucky, who worked hard to get Panther Studios back on top is determined not to be forced out as head of the studio and replaced with Mickey Stoli, the former head of Panther who ran the studio into the ground. That is until a string of personal misfortunes bring Lucky to believe that maybe this isn't just a string of bad luck, that maybe these misfortunes are some how connected to her past.

The Santangelo series is by far my favorite ongoing series and while I am eager to read 'DANGEROUS KISS' the fifth installment in the series I am not eager to finish out the series. I hope that Collins continues to write about the Santangelo family for at least a couple more books!

The story was wonderfully written. She really makes you care about the characters, makes you want to know what's going to happening to them next. I hope she writes more books about Lucky and also Lennie.

I wish Jackie Collins would make all of her books into kindle editions I own them all but want them on my KINDLE! Please ask her to consider it all of her fans would love to have them on their kindles....Love all of the series of Lucky Santangelo!!!

Jackie Collins has a distinct writer's voice. Vendetta is an incredible book from cover to cover. Lucky is well developed. Her relationship with Alex could be viewed as a one-night stand that shouldn't have happened. Given the circumstances surrounding the reasons Lucky and Alex are together, Vendetta was written in a way where a reader can't help but applaud.

There's a super twist in this novel. The suspense was handled well and in the end, the happy ending is the icing on the cake especially after the sorrow Lucky faces. Super action. Super dialogue. This is an erotic mainstream romance novel the way it should be. Authors in the business should be required to take a Jackie Collins course before they can publish their first book. Outstanding.

The further adventures of Lucky Santangelo Golden--a powerful and beautiful woman. There are too many plots to explain here but they're all fun and full of colorful characters. Don't worry if you haven't read the previous books--Collins fills you in quickly on who the characters are. Also this book is full of strong female characters who don't need a man to survive and get revenge if a guy crosses them. Even at over 600 pages this book reads quickly and is very entertaining and well-written. Recommended.

I knew Jackie Collins' series to be extrodinaire, but reading Vendetta just put eveything in perspective, she definetely knows how to put you on the edge of your seat, you can't put the book down! It's just great
