ReviewsPraise for GODDESS OF VENGEANCE:   "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, "The 73-year-old chick lit doyenne of raunchy romance presents No. 27 with a revival of her most popular character, Lucky Sanangelo.

And it's impossible not to fall for it. Again." - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY "If anyone knows Hollywood, it's Jackie Collins, and with her newly released novel Poor Little Bitch Girl the bestselling author proves she's still got it." - NEW YORK DAILY NEWS "I was a Jackie Collins virgin. . . . I have been guiltily, divertingly deflowered." - WASHINGTON POST "Sexually charged." - VANITY FAIR Praise for Married Lovers: "The fabulous Married Lovers has plenty of Hollywood women kicking ass with a trio of new heroes." - THE NEW YORK POST "Nothing says summer like lathering on the sunblock, laying on a lounge chair, and pulling a very steamy novel from the queen of romance from your beach bag." - NBC'S TODAY

SynopsisJackie Collins' fierce and wildly beautiful heroine Lucky Santangelo is back with a vengeance-in a novel full of power, passion, revenge, and the raging family dynamics of the Santangelo clan-and, as always, Lucky comes out on top. Lucky runs a high profile casino and hotel complex, The Keys in Vegas. Lennie, her movie star husband, is still writing and directing successful independent movies, while Max, her stubborn and gorgeous teenage daughter is about to celebrate her 18th birthday, and her son, Bobby, owns a string of hot clubs. Lucky has everything. Family. Love. Life. And everything is exactly what billionaire businessman Armand Jordan is determined to take from her one way or the other. Born a Prince in the small but affluent Middle Eastern country of Akramshar, Armand comes to America with his American mother at an early age, and rises to become a real estate business titan. Armand regards women as nothing more than breeding mares or sexual playthings, so when his people inform him that the one property he covets more than anything, The Keys, is not for sale, he is shocked. That a mere woman would dare to turn down his offer to buy The Keys is unthinkable, and Armand vows to force Lucky's hand whatever it takes. And so the battle for power begins . . . Meanwhile Bobby is dealing with shady Russian investors, while his girlfriend-smart and independent Denver Jones-is becoming a Deputy D.A. in the L.A. drug unit. And Max, Bobby's seventeen year old sister, is busy embarking on a forbidden affair with a sexy young movie star. An affair they have to keep on the down-low lest Lucky finds out. The word is that "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" and what happens in Goddess of Vengeance will blow your mind!
