Lucky

Rating:
Summary: Much improved from Chances!
Review: This novel surpasses Chances in ways that are indescribable. Lucky is owning and running her own hotel, which is very upper-class and expensive. Then we are intwined with other characters such as Olympia, Brigette, Carrie, Lennie (soon to play a major part in her life), and Steven, who is unfortunately a good character that is totally wasted. Other than that small flaw, this novel is completely wonderful, and should not be missed.

Summary: KEPT ME AT THE EDGE OF MY SEAT!!
Review: What more can I say? All of the money in the world could not get me to pry my fingers off of this book. In Collins' sophomore release of the Santangelo saga we get reaquainted with the awe-inspiring, business savy and headstrong Lucky Santangelo, daughter of the notorious Gino "The Ram" Santagelo -- former mob boss.

Not one iota of what Collins' writes in this book comes off as being unrealistic, boring or repeptitive. Writing a book like this takes pure, unadulturated talent!! How she manages to come up with new and exciting characters, keep us thouroughly updated on old ones, intertwine all of their storylines FLAWLESSLY and leave her fans begging for more is harder to comprehend then learning Chinese Arithmatic in Latin!

Lucky comes back geared and ready for a whole new peril. I don't know if there is much I can say about this book without giving too much away... It's just all so JUICY and addictive! I will say that we are introduced to some new characters -- Lennie Golden being the main one. As well as reuniniting with some characters some of us may have thought wouldn't come back -- Olympia and Dimirti Stanislopolous ... These three characters will influenece Lucky's life in a MAJOR way... You will just have to read to find out. This is yet another 10 star read from Ms. Collins.
