"No one paints a more tawdry -- and delicious -- portrait of Hollywood than prolific novelist Jackie Collins." —New York Post
“The 73-year-old chick lit doyenne of raunchy romance presents No. 27 with a revival of her most popular character, Lucky Sanangelo. But as kick-ass as the now 50-something Lucky is—operating ancient patriarch Gino’s Las Vegas hotel empire as it comes under siege from a menacing royal brat with pervy sexual proclivities and a nasty drug habit—the packed plot belongs to the next generation: Lucky’s 17-year-old mini-me daughter, Max; hot-and-handsome oldest son, Bobby; and all the lovers and losers the spoiled duo cycle through with giddy abandon. There’s never a doubt Collins’s cast of strong women, and the guys who chose them, will ferret out true love and survive. But that’s not entirely the point in this delicious, manic tale of rich people behaving badly, getting everything they deserve, and leaving enough loose ends to warrant an inevitable sequel.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“In her latest novel featuring the popular Lucky Santangelo, Collins does what she does best—dishing on Holly wood in a fast and furious read.”—RT Book Review
