Publisher Description
The bestselling author of Lovers & Players returns with Drop Dead Beautiful her 25th fabulous novel and her most beloved character, Lucky Santangelo. Get ready for the scandalously scintillating read only Jackie Collins can deliver! Like mother, like daughter. No truer words for Lucky Santangelo's sixteen-year-old Max, who goes looking for trouble when she hooks up with some guy she met on the Internet. Soon the beautiful, willful Max finds herself in deeper waters than she can imagine as she becomes a pawn in a greater scheme that leads back to Lucky and Billy Melina, the studly movie-star boyfriend of Lucky's best friend, superstar Venus. If Max's troubles weren't enough, Lucky has her multi-billion-dollar Las Vegas hotel complex to contend with . . . along with Anthony Bonar, the illegitimate grandson of her one-time Godfather and lethal enemy, Enzio Bonnati. So begins a non-stop thrill ride as Lucky builds her dream resort-and gambles with all she holds dear. Max, too, is following her dreams, and as her high-flying triumphs prove, she's more than just a little Lucky.

"This is book #5 in the Lucky Santangello series..... I loved reading all of it. I know Jackie Collins always loosely base her books on real famous people in Hollywood so I always wonder who she is getting ideas for her characters in her novels!!!!! Great entertaining reading!!!!!"

" I did not like this book at all. I am not fond of the writing. There were way to many "valley" terminology. I understand the author was trying to portray a certain "lingo" but not my cup of tea. "

— Brandy, 11/2/2013 -
" Had I read this book anywhere besides on vacation, I might have just put it down. As it was, it was a perfectly fine read, but not as good as several of her earlier books. "

" It was a fast-paced entertaining read;a guilty pleasure : ) "
— Stasha, 5/8/2013 -
" This was an easy read. There were lots of different plot lines that all intersected at the end, plus there was an epilogue that tied up each character. I always like nice, neat endings. "

" I love the Lucky series. I have read and reread all of the series. This book was pretty good but the kidnapping plot is getting a little over worked. But over all I enjoyed the book. "

" Love the Lucky Santangelo series - my guilty pleasure reading ! "
— Tracey, 12/7/2011 -
" I don't know why I bothered to finish reading this book. I could overlook the bad writing if the story was interesting, but it wasn't. By the end, I was hoping all the characters would blow up at the opening of Lucky Santangelo's new hotel. "
