Always strong and unpredictable, with her husband Lennie by her side, she lives up to the family motto:

Never cross Santangelo.

But when Lucky opens an expensive note card edged in gold, printed with the single word VENGEANCE, she knows she is in for the fight of her life...

Booklist Review

Collins' (Confessions of a Wild Child, 2014) latest stay-up-all-night-then-take-a-shower novel about the drop-dead gorgeous Santangelos (some of whom do drop dead) begins with a Middle Eastern king who wrongly believes sexy hotel owner Lucky Santangelo killed his favorite son. Like the eight previous installments about this glamorous-but-cursed family, this one features multiple plot twists, bad guys, and murders. It's not literary; it is R-rated, sometimes laughably so, with references to blow jobs and mind-blowing performances in the sack. The family's eye for an eye motto remains never fuck with a Santangelo. (Collins helpfully reminds readers of past retributions.) And, of course, Lucky's kids did not grow up to be plumbers and secretaries, or priests and nuns. Bobby, a six-feet-three stunner, co-owns a popular nightclub, and Max is a fashion model. Unlike the Santangelos, the villains are neither likable nor genetically blessed. In the end, one character lives with vengeance in his heart, and another knows her romance with a movie star is all going to work out. In other words, Collins leaves the door wide open for more raunchy-but-fun sequels. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: With more than 500 million books sold in more than 40 countries, Collins is always a big draw, hence the 150,000 first print run and megapublicity campaign for her latest sizzling Santangelo saga.--Springen, Karen Copyright 2010 Booklist
