Lucky Santangelo certainly is her own woman, afraid of nothing and never boring. Dangerous Kiss, the fifth in the series, finds Lucky running Panther Studios and still married to the love of her life, Lennie Golden. This is Hollywierd shenanigans at its craziest, as only Jackie Collins can dish out. With sex-grazed supermodels, homicidal teenagers, and the rich and beautiful players of tinsel town, the action (and sex) never stops. This was an easy, fun read.
Finally found more Lucky Santangelo books. This one is full of drama and action, just like the rest of the books. I really enjoy this series.
Hadn't read this series in awhile and now want to go back an re-read/listen to.
