The Santangelos is available in paperback. I posted my review a while ago and wanted to share it again in honor of it being re-released. There is also a giveaway for a copy of The Santagelos and a mug from her personal estate.

A vicious hit. A vengeful enemy. A drug addled Colombian
club owner. A sex crazed Italian family. And the ever powerful Lucky Santangelo
has to deal with them all, while Max-her teenage daughter is becoming The
"It" girl in Europe's modeling world. And her Kennedyesque son,
Bobby, is being set up for a murder he didn't commit. But Lucky can deal.
Always strong and unpredictable with her husband, Lennie, by her side she lives
up to the family motto-Never cross a Santangelo.
My Thoughts…
Typical Jackie Collins.
She brings Hollywood to the everyday person. The drama, the drugs, the paparazzi, the
sex, and of course Lucky. I have read
many of the Santangelo’s books. It was
great to catch up with all the characters from the past and be brought up to
speed on what is happening in their lives.
Lucky is amazing, always has been and always will be. Then bring in her larger than life children
and their escapades and you get a story that you won’t be able to put
down.
Bobby, Lucky’s son, has a girlfriend that he thinks he wants
to marry. Yet, his eyes are opened when
he gets arrest for a crime he, of course, did not commit to how committed she
is to him. All he wants is to rush to
his mother’s side and be there for her when she needs him the most, yet he is
held up and he must deal with his life first.
At a huge family and friends function he runs into a long time friend of
his mother’s and he realizes that maybe his ex isn’t all he thought she
was.
Max is on her way to becoming a face and name that would be
familiar in every household until she starts to realize all the drama that
comes with climbing that ladder. As
Max is rushing home to be with her family, her plans get derailed and tragedy
strikes her. During this tragedy she
finds what she has been missing and realizes that what she thought she wanted
in life may not be what she really wants and needs.
Of course, I couldn’t write a review without talking about
Lucky. Strong, sexy, racy Lucky. She is definitely a force of nature. While she would fight for a friend with all
she has, I have no doubt that when you go against her there is no forgiveness. In this book she has a score to
settle. She goes about finding out who
is behind her pain and knows that it has to be at her hands that they pay for
it. Settles it she does, Santangelo
style.
This is a racy, sexy, soap opera like book. While the amount of pages may seem
daunting, it was an incredible quick read.
There is some vulgar parts, but if you have read other Santangelo books
you know to expect it. The Santangelos
is part of a series, but can definitely be read alone.
